Hi Lynn, this was posted a while ago. It's more "how do you practice", but it might help.
I play for about an hour most days, but if friends come round....it becomes the wee hours.

Out of a 24 hr day, I take half an hour off for sleeping, eating, and drinking. The rest of the time is spent with the guitar!





No not really! I try to get in at least an hour a day now, and more sometimes if I can manage it.

Varies from day to day. Every now and then none. I average 2 hours, but can can go as high as 4 or 5 playing through out the day. I would say normal would probably be at least an hour.

Varies from week to week for me...if I don't have a deadline and can do what I want, I can go as many as 6 hours (kids are in school and I work at home)...work days I may get in an hour


If everything has a point, well then I must have one, too.

I as a complete beginner average about an hour or an hour and a half a day.
However thers a difference between just fooling around for an hour and practising for an hour, so its prob most important to practise WELL
