I don't think I've actually practiced anything since '76.
I play about 2500 to 3000 hours a year, on stage, in the studio, or at jams, but I never sit around and practice scales or licks.
Once you have down the motor skills to play, it seems like you would know how to play. Like driving a car, once you learn how to drive, you don't go out and practice it. I've never went out to the car and said today I'm going to spend an hour practicing turning right, or pressing down on the brake pedal. You just learn it, do it, and it become instinct.
To me it's the same with a musical instrument. Once your brain knows how to make your fingers hit the notes it wants, then your there, you have it down, now just get out and play.
