Thread Name: How much do you practice.
Subject: RE: How much do you practice.
Hi Bob,

Ignore the guest(s) comments if you want, they only impress themselves, we know perfectly well what you're asking. (I thought that the "ise" vs "ice" was Brit vs elsewhere usage...though even here in Canada I was taught "practice"...am I right, anyone know?)

I practice for varying lengths of time depending on my other responsibilities and time demands. If I miss a day, I generally more than make it up the next. Since one of my jobs is to teach people to play fretted instruments, I spend alot of time with instruments in my hands. This isn't practice (with some students I hardly play at all while with others I'll play my ass off) but it's better than nothing. I consider any playing I do for myself to be practice, whether it's gigging, learning new stuff, jamming with others or with recording/backing tracks, writing, rehearsals, or whatever.

Even with all that, if practice makes perfect I haven't practiced near enough.

Peace, Mooh.
