How long and what do you practice a day? (bass, rock)

Blain · 08-20-2007, 02:59 AM

Just wondering lol.

Drums I try to practice at least 40 minutes to and hour a day, just so I don't P*ss of the neighbours. At first I just jam, then I go on with rudiments and just whatever my tutor gives me.
Guitar about an hour or so, I usually just pick it up while I'm on the computer and whip out scales etc. Scales, songs, licks etc.

I haven't been practising bass much lately because of tests/assignments. But I'm trying to get 3 hours a day in if I haven't got too much work.

Guitar or bass, depending how i feel, just whenever i feel like it, usually i'm just watching tv and twiddling over a few scales, techniques etc. or i'll grab my acoustic and get the misses to sing along to something.

Not for very long, just jamming over a few tracks. It works.

Guitar half an hour of practice, a couple hours of writing/screwing around.

Mostly six-string electric, sometimes bass guitar, and usually not very seriously. A good portion of my 'practice' consists of me just having a good time and working on new melodies and songwriting.

I'm off to Cyprus tommorrow, 2 weeks without practice, im in a dreadfull state of withdrawl o.o

I hate going on trips knowing that when you come back you're gunna have to step up. 2 weeks without any playing at all can really affect you.

With drums though, I ussually take a practice pad away and just rock away with rudiments.
