I started playing the guitar at age 10. I would practice between 1/2 hour a day to 8 and 10 hours a day on the weekends. School was the determining factor regarding how much I practiced. By the time I was 15, I would spend sometimes 12 hours on Saturday's practicing guitar and "jamming" with my friends. I was obsessed with being the best guitarist I could become!  |

Do you remember any of the things you did to practice by any chanse so i could try?I am 15 years old now |

You're so lucky to have started at the age of 10, I started at the age of 14 and usually play from 1/2 to 5 even 8 or 10 hours a day but school really eats up a lot of time and sometimes I just can't practice even though I want to because I have to be somewhere else. But inspite of that I play my ass off when I have the chance and "jamm" with my friends. |

Do you do exercises with ametronome and train your dexterity, speed and accuracy? Or do you just jamm and solo alot Or even a mixture of it all, that's what I usually do ;D |

I cant really jam with my friends anymore, since 5 of em are in a band together, and work together constantly, and my other friend lives further away, and its a hassle bringing gear etc uo to his house.  |

But when he comes over to my place we will have to settle for my classical guitar or one of my two electric guitars or my keyboard  He usually plays the rhythm and I solo!!! ;D it's so fun  |
