Most days I'll jot down the amount of time in my practice log just for curiosity's sake... looking back it seems like the longer sessions (3+ hour) were either really good ones, where I didn't want to stop, or really bad ones where I had to spend a lot of time working on a single thing I couldn't seem to get right.<br><br>But that's just structured practice.  When you add in time I spend teaching, playing with others, rehearsing tunes, or just jamming, I end up playing 30-60 hours a week.]]></content:encoded>

Typically, I spend my time on songs I'm learning and chord changes. I need to spend more time on scales and learning the fretboard, but I gravitate back to practicing songs I enjoy singing because, well I enjoy it :-)<br><br>It's a definite flaw in my practice routine, though and one that I constantly battle against.<br><br>Steed]]></content:encoded>
