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 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.

It's been the same for me for some time now. But I started playing a lot again, got a new band (well actually, I'm playing with the same drummer, but got a new bass player and a new guitar player) . These two new guys are a lot older than I am, and they are experienced musicians, so we will finally get to play something a little more challenging.

I am now starting to push myself into playing, all I really do anymore is stay on the computer doing whatever it is that I do.

We've got rehearsals with Relativity a few times per week, except during some weeks before gigs we rehearse a bit more, maybe 4-5 times a week. Outside of that, I occasionally play at home some random things, or play along to some albums. Then of course I compose new music, but usually only during the summer and early fall.

I havent been playing or learning anything new lately. I dont know about you guys, but when my guitar is in its case and all the cables are wrapped up (because I went somewhere with my stuff), its harder to get motivated to play.

I try to practice half an hour a day. On free days I get this easily done, but when I also had a day at the university I am sometimes just too tired(or already worked too much with music at the university) to play something. I am kind of lucky that I learn quite fast. Oh and once a week 20 to 40 minutes of training from my teacher. Besides that I also spend -roughly- half an hour every day on attempting to compose something, or just playing around in the well-known computer programs.

I try and maintain daily guitar practicing, but sometimes I'm at my friends for the whole day, but the next day i'll reward myself with a couple of hours of practicing. There are days i practice several times, usually on weekends because i have more time, on week nights after a long day of school i go for at least an hour, or else if im to tired i tend to do half an hour.

How long have you been playing? I remember the first year I began playing I played that much a day. Now that I bought a life on Ebay I don't practice as much.

I play guitar (acoustic) and also mandolin (electric), but only sometimes...

Of course i play more often during the holidays and so, but on school time, i just dont feel like doing it many times...

And yeah, someone mentioned the fact that it becomes kinda boring to play all the same musics. It's true. I don't have a band either, but i end up playing with some friends, on some places, and that's nice to keep on practicing and perhaps learn something new..

I found that its useful not to over-practice. Probably some of you would say 'how can too much be negative?' Well, if you are on an instrument that requires certain strength to pluck a note, doing scales for three hours a day can play a toll on your fretting hand.

So I take a day off every 5 days or so. Even though having the right technique should prevent strain on the fretting... I think I have the right technique down though. I can't imagine possibly playing my bass any other way that is comfortable.
