Hey all,

I wanted to get some insight into some of your practice routines and what you see as important vs. a waste of time. First how much practice is enough to be a great player? For 4 years i can say i average 2 hours every day, and that is just an average. Days off i can practice about 6, and regular days 2 maybe 3. I miss a day on occasion. I can't find for the life of me what my guitar heros Paisley and Urban did, wish i knew. I know Steve Vai claims these 10 hour workouts, but i've never bought that, i've tried and my brain about popped at 7. Is learning songs something that should be set aside from practice or is it something that by learning say, "Hot Wired" for instance, you can benefit a great deal? I have a regular routine, im just trying to make the most of my time and get as good as possible as quickly as i can. Any help would be appreciated.
