I do about 90 minutes every morning now. Well most mornings anyway.

Sure, just write little bits and peices on one topic, they dont even have to make sense, and just randomly put em into a song. Its hard to say what I do excatly, I just write down whatever. Personally I dont give a damn about what the lyrics are about, just as long as they're there. And only write songs when you really want to, dont force youreslf to
Check out my little story in, "post mindless blaber here", or whatever the topiccs called....I posted it last night, so it should be somewhere on the 1st page.

It pays my bills so I guess the best answer is as much as possible, i.e. When I'm awake.

+1, I wish I could play for that long, but I'm lacking in songs at the moment.

Stick at it Riley and you can achieve anything you want. I am very lucky I can make a living doing what I thoroughly adore but she don't come easy bro. Nevertheless, the world is there for the taking!

I love it more than ever now, I've come to far to stop now .
Thats my dream, to make a living out of my music, that'd be so awesome.
Its good to hear from you, I haven't seen you on here for ages now!

Thanks Riley, I appreciate that!

Yeah, I'm still floatin about, just been very busy with band which is always good. The only thing better than thinkin and talkin about it is actually doing it after all.

You are a young pup Riley and you seem very interested in guitar, keep at it and you can go as far as you want!

Cheers,

CC

Good to hear things are working out for you and your band, hope your having a great time
Thanks for the words of encouragment man

One to two hours a day. I just spent 9 days away and really missed having a guitar. But it seemed to be easier when I got back to it this morning. Go figure.

Two hours a night. I call it guitar therapy.

These days... probably an hour or two, but always after midnight or during lunch at work (if I can face the thought of hauling my guitar all that way... usually takes me an hour and a half on public transport). I'm not very happy with the current state of affairs, as it doesn't permit me to work on anything new. Still, I guess it won't always be this way. It would be nice if I could coast on all the practice I put in twenty years ago, but it doesn't work that way!
