I play sometimes, I use to play majority of the time. Being with friends, girlfriend, and the computer all distracts me from playing.

But then again I can't put a band together her for anything! Nobody is good enough for metal! So its not like I have something to prove out here. Im not so bad of a player though. I am kinda getting back up to playing majority of the time. I need to change my strings first!

I go on my drum about 3 or 4 times a week for at least 1 hour

Never Enough, since I didn't feel I applied to any of the above, I tend to sometimes go without days of playing and then there are those days I tend to play for several hours. And then their are those days that I do what's usually recommended and play for 45 mins, take a 15 min brake and do the cycle about as many times as I feel like doing.

I use to sit at my computer with my guitar, I would have guitar pro, and my music playing so I could play along, and I had a program called Audacity where I could record my work. I had to do a system recovery on my computer so now I lost everything, I got Audacity again and I got my music back, but now I can't ifnd out where to download guitar pro again! Which is probably why I don't play as much as I used to.

This is sort of a vague quetion, but I will answer it anyways. I play bass about two hours each day. I mainly review scales on differrent keys, chord structures, and go over some differret pieces. But when I decide to review actual songs, sometimes I get sucked in for hours.

Well, I play around 3 hours every 2 months, to be honest lol. But I really regret it...I swear I'll play more often as soon as possible, since I moved due to Uni and I don't have my guitar with me right now.

The pool is little confusing for me, but I think the closest answer is "sometimes". Since I can play for 5 hours without a brake, and sometimes, I dont play for whole month at all. I play pretty good, when you take in consideration how little I practice....

I used to play quite alot, like 2-4 hours per day. Ive just been really bussy with the school lately which have distracted me from playing. So thats the main reason.. Also girlfriend, friends and weight-lifting takes time from guitar playing, so its really been only from one to three times a week(usually 1-2 hours/session) for some time now.

I play as much as I can, on days that are empty, I play almost all day, holding my guitar at my hands.

When I have little time before I go out or to the work, I grab the guitar and play even for 10 minutes. I have to.

Can't handle not playing for over a day..

Ah yes, it's not as fun as hunting bats at night, is it?

Seriously though, just like ms Bodom here, i'm also not getting the practice i should be getting, because of my studies. I used to play three times a week for about an hour, but now...

Anyway, my last exam is next week, so after that i'll get back to my old routine.

All I do with my spare time is play and create music, either I am coming up with a new riff for a song or recording my work. I end up spending a lot of time on the computer since I use Line 6 hardware to record everything via Reaper. Last Monday though, I spent probably at least six hour's playing and writing new guitar pieces for a song, we (my band) already recorded the acoustic part's and I wanted to come up with some electric for the rest of the song. Then all of yesterday I was working with the drum's, which I am about to do soon now since I don't like the way the overall recording came out.

I play a lot, I think I couldn't live without my guitar. I used to play much more, up to 4 or 5 hours a day, now I have less time for that so I practice around one hour a day.

I also play a lot.
But university takes a lot of time so I would spend more time if able...

Currently we produce our 2nd album so I'll have to play more often the next time! ;-)

Yeah that's one of the best feelings in the world. I also practice every day, normally for about an hour, and I will go for more than an hour a few times a week. I need to get crackin' more on learning some more songs, but lately I have been learning how to Pick sweep. So I voted for "All the time"

I try to practice quite a bit, but after work I usually feel like doing something that requires little physical effort like playing video games or watching TV, so I find it hard to get motivated to play. Then I remember that my friends are counting on me to write material, so I get my ass in gear.

I can't imagine people seriously practicing their instruments for the majority of their waking hours.

Monday through Wednesday I practice the drums from the time I get off of work until my roommate comes home from work. Usually around two hours or so, I guess. Thursday and Friday I can't play the drums because my roommate is home with his son, so I just mess around on my practice pad while watching TV or listening to music. Saturday and Sunday are typically used for band practice/jamming which goes on until one of us gets angry about something stupid and leaves, on average around four hours.

I'm pretty sore by the time the next Monday rolls around.

I play sometimes... I haven't got enough time left when I come home. Unfortunately.
And mostly I'm bored playing songs I already played hundreds of times. I just feel like playing new songs on the weekend (because of my time to learn something new).
I think I just need a band again then it'd all be better.
