        Do you practice using a regular schedule?  Or do you play when you feel like it?  Do you play the same thing over and over and expect a different result?  Do you ever use a metronome or backing track to play along to?

        These answers can help you get better as a musician.

          Thirty minutes to an hour almost every day. I do use Strum Machine some(though I recently let my subscription lapse).

              I try to practice daily. I do best if I can get a practice in first thing in the morning but that doesn’t always work out. I do use a metronome but not every practice session.

                Good stuff!  Beth – yeah I wouldn’t recommend to always use a metronome.  Just sometimes, a few times a week for 10 minutes or so each time.  Some folks LOVE the metronome, others not so much, but it is an important practice tool.  Keeps ya honest about timing as well of course.

                Have fun!

                  Not nearly enough. Don’t have a schedule, or use special equipment. Pick around with Guitar and Banjo

                    Not on a schedule, especially this summer. BUT, big but, in the summer I do “play” my full list of tunes while camping every evening which adds up.  I do plan to start practicing some new pieces I’ve already selected when it cools off and camping stops.
