How often do you play?

I haven't played guitar for 2 days, and I'm really getting itchy. I keep poking my fingertips with my fingernails just so they can feel a groove. I try to play every day. Sometimes it's just for short periods, other times it could be for a couple hours. Granted, all this playing/practicing hasn't made me any good, but at least I have a good time.

So, how often do you feel the need? Is it a strong compulsion or a sense of obligation? Is it work or play?

It's always delightful if you don't take it as practice. I enjoy making music with an instrument. :joy:

I play everyday; sometimes it's work like I sit down to write a song but most of the time it's just for fun :thumb:

Ironically I play a lot less since I discovered online music/gear/fuzz/fx forums... :facepalm:

+1. A lot of times I leave my gear in our practice space when we're doing a song, so I go a week without pedals, which makes me cry, but on regular days it's a couple hours a day.

My drumz are at my bandmates house and we only practice 1-2 times a week. :cry:

I don't get to play as much as I'd like to, or should be.

I get home from work, and I just don't want to get my guitar out of it's case. After a 40-minute bus ride, and almost missing my stop due to falling asleep on the bus, I don't wanna do much of anything.

I strum off and on all day... I try and at least get an hours worth of practice in if i don't get caught up messing around with pedals.

Gawd, I wish I had time to play as much as I'd like... but these days, I grab my bass whenever I can, and get in as much time as I can... which is usually 15 minutes max. Sad.

But every now and then, I'll snag a little more time when no-one's around and make up for the rest of the week... :evil:

Funny how that little extra time when no one's around always makes for the best songwriting and best playing. And you can dance around and be a fool as much as you want without getting too :whoa:

'ed out.
