My daily routine for guitar practice: Step 1. Go to work Step 2. Leave work and pick up kids from school or sports. Step 3. Get ready for work the next day. Step 4. Get to play briefly on Saturday after work before yard chores. Welcome to dad/garage band. And ultimately not being that good on guitar lol. Enjoy your youth kids. Playing guitar is a badass way to spend your time👍🏼

[@JSession]

Same. What I do is just play at night while everyone is asleep. I’ll plug in my headphones and I get lost in my guitar. No one interrupts

[@adabofeverything7120]

Even with a full time job. I have also never stopped practicing for 3-5 hours a day. Its all about the dedication and putting in the extra time into doing it. 2 hours before work and 2 hours after tends to work out best. Not that bad.

[@DustinHaggerty-lj1ix]

I have twin 5 year Olds and my wife and I both have full time jobs. Not that easy if I want to be there for my family. I love them and had a family on purpose, I'm just saying not everyone's life is the same. I'll take an hour per day before work and a little on my lunch break. I work at guitar center. I also randomly get to jam or record music in the evenings and on weekends. Just have to make sure not to waste all my time outside of family time playing video games

[@peytonfwright]

if all of you put down your phones, i guarantee you'd have at LEAST 2+ hours to practice, but we aren't ready for that conversation yet 🤣🤣

[@_greenonion]

Fr, even if it’s just one hour if you’re committed, you can get better

[@Errk2G]

I'm in the bathroom 💩🤣

[@DustinHaggerty-lj1ix]

Most likely. Even with kids and a job, I could have an hour each morning and one at night if I got up early.. maybe just the one in the morning, but still. That would be something.

[@CavinLee]

My whole day is guitar therapy and sometimes if I hear a song I like I’ll learn it. Recently I’ve been working on chord substitutions and such.

[@ZK_SHREDR]

Learning a new riff or song on guitar is a great feeling

[@sethforesi307]

For everyone commenting, you do not need to practice this much to be a really good guitarist, especially if you’re musically inclined, just do whatever is enjoyable for you and at the pace you feel is most comfortable enjoy the road ahead of you instead of trying to blaze through it

[@giofugazz]

Even the youtber doesnt practice this much... hes just dying for internet points

[@cechichan]

4h is not "that much". 6h a day of PLAYING is by far standard for anyone who wanna be/is a professional/tries to be. u can easily get 10-12h of "guitar work" if u put in there the filming+ editing+recording+ research etc. If its strict playing, usually u wont play more than 6-8h, but i can speak only for myself and a very close friend. We def had many days of 8h+ of playing. Its like any other "job" or prepping for a job. Yall been to uni ? u study all the time u awake-sleep-back to it. This no diff

[@castleanthrax1833]

​@@cechichanWhy are you quoting "that much"? The op never implied it was an excess amount. All they were saying is you don't need to practice for 5 hours a day to get better, or even to get good at all. After a certain amount of playing, you aren't improving your muscle memory or building on your knowledge. The human brain can only assimilate so much knowledge, and it's the same with muscle memory. You can play for 12 hours but it doesn't mean you'll be getting 4 times better than someone who plays for 3.

[@cechichan]

@@castleanthrax1833 Ofc at some point is the low of diminshing returns but there are many details and practical theory u can work on for an eternity. More is always more.

[@davidelliot9884]

No problem there Things take time

[@methanedirigible]

When I was a kid I used to get home from school at about 3.30pm and play until 1am - unstructured, just doing whatever. Writing I guess, noodling, trying to work out how to play things on a record (this is before KZbin). Over the years you slowly end up having fewer hours in the day for playing. But any time spent playing is worth it. I do miss those carefree days though.

I use to do this but recently changed to actually practice things instead of just play and it exponentially increased how I play. Especially with genre exploration and learning from different genres

Unless you’re an absolute prodigy, this is just what it takes to get insanely good at playing guitar. There aren’t any shortcuts. 🤘🏼

[@KinanLeifBerklee]

Actually it only really takes two hours a day. More than that and you can burn out, unless you’re just a beginner. But prodigies and regular intermediates alike are best off practicing in moderation and playing plenty.

[@TheRealxVincent]

If you haven't already, you can slam the bridge to the body and it will allow you to do proper bends without other strings going out of tune

Attention: never static stretch before warming up. Dynamic stretches are fine, but hold off on the static stretches until you are warmed up.

Before getting married and having kids I was able to practice that many hours a day with a full time job, but I’m lucky to have 30 minutes free these days. I still manage to sneak a little bit of playing in every now and then.

[@NicknLex]

When I was 16 and I started to practice we didn't have KZbin. Around 2003. I had so many books and we actually learned how to read & write music. I used to practice 7-8 hours a day. We learned everything by ear too. I did record myself with a tape recorded and a 8 mil camera🤘I still play 1-2 hours every day.

[@leonardolinares8070]

Idk y I get so jealous when I see someone better at guitar than me, it’s something I hate about myself but I feel like if I put in more hours it’ll just make me feel worse I’ve been stuck on the same songs and making the same riffs, it sucks but idk what it is about this vid, it’s kinda giving me hope in a way since I learned that Marcus King riff in like 10 min so I know I can but I just keep myself at a halt, it sucks man but like I said this video gives me a bit more hope for myself to become a better person and NOT get jealous since I’m tired of putting myself down and not accepting the fact that there’s others with years of experience out there. Sorry just wanted to rant since this video kinda made me see differently a bit more, thx :)

Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on challenging yourself.

Can you do a video on “killing the intermediate guitarist?”. As in- I’m practicing and getting better but I would like to explore more. I know what I like but I would like to find more mental approaches to making the process fresh!

[@thelordofdarkness141]

I've been practicing to a metronome a lot recently and it's amazing the difference, also like you say bending I don't get to practice everyday as I don't get chance, but I've tried to be a bit more structured and I've found myself playing stuff I found difficult with a lot more ease, I work a lot on pull offs, hammer ons are so easy but it's the pull offs and instead of playing say 1234 I play 4321 playing the descending stuff is far more difficult so I concentrate on that, if you can play it descending anything else will come a lot easier, or at least that's what I found works for me

[@fonzerellie3518]

Yes it is therapy . Its great .

[@denzelcounts7036]

I started practicing 5 hours a day and you see exponential growth in a matter of weeks. I split my practice into Technical Skill and Musical Skill. It’s amazing.

[@Barushia]

I have a full time job and a kid so 4-5 hour practice is impossible for me which, at first, felt like there was no point practicing at all cause i wouldnt become the next alex skolnik if i didnt get at least 4 hours in. Then, after some time of selfpity, i slowly began practicing again with 15 to 30 min a day and hoenstly it has worked wonders for me. My alt picking speed is increasing, my eartraining is getting really good and my overall feel is getting good too.

[@Lauren-ys1jl]

Ive been seeing people say that they don't have energy or something to practice guitar this much. It honestly shouldn't be a chore. If you're not enjoying it for that long then maybe consider a new instrument, bc i believe you shouldn't do it if its not fun. I play guitar, and I don't set a timer for how long a day I should play. I just play all the time, whenever I get a free chance. Because I love it. I get lost in playing and end up playing for hours even though it only seems like 20 mins have gone by. So don't push yourself if you don't really want to. Ur choice, just a suggestion!

[@Defaultwarrior1904]

Nice guitar👍cool vid

[@mushroomlord8022]

See. I just play when I feel so no assigned time and I'll play whatever I feel and practise whatever I'm in the mood for. Having it all structured makes it less enjoyable and more like a chore

In sports we established that stretching afterwards is the important part and stretching before exercise is loosing necessary muscle tension for better results. i wonder if, but guess that this also holds true for guitar. what do you think?

[@simoneric8183]

Some years back I was subject to procrastination on the guitar : either I let the guitar in its corner for almost the full day and only finally played it at the end of the day, or (5-10 days later) I got over my lazyness and grabbed the thing for several hours in a row but not knowing where I was going... (and ended up more wore out than necessary !). Trying to solve this problem I now play SHORTER 3 or 4 or 5 sessions in the day EVERYDAY. That's how I found that during my procrastination period in fact the most difficult thing to do was move my ass and grab the guit. I think it is the key point that allows me to go forward.

[@gamergarry6739]

Haha this is basically exactly what I do, scales until I'm bored (usually an hour), riffs from songs I like until I'm bored (usually an hour), I've been doing solos instead of bends and then I just fuck around for another hour until my wrist gets sore. All while watching TV 🫡

Honest version: “I practice for about 2 hours, the other 3 are on youtube” “Here’s a lick I started learning last week” “I jam for the whole time. I don’t do anything regimented, let alone stretching, that’s why my riffs are always the same”
