I got a fun question the other day... it was basically "how do I find time to practice?"
I'm with you, I have 3 kids, a wife, a job, a house... just like everyone else (though playing guitar is a pretty great job most of the time I'll admit.)
But at night, I like to watch a little TV and wind down from the day, probably like a lot of people.
Turns out that by law, the FCC mandates that the TV station has 42 minutes of "show" every hour. That means they can have up to 18 minutes of commercials.
Well since the commercials pay the bills, they pretty much use that 18 minutes every hour.
So every time the commercial comes on, I hit the "mute" button on the remote, grab my guitar, and run some licks or some chords, or whatever I'm working on at the moment.
Even if I do NOTHING else on my guitar in the day, at least I'm getting on there for 18 minutes. And to be honest, it always ends up being more because I get into what I'm doing and don't notice that the show has come back on at least once.
So if you find you're having trouble getting some practice in, give my *tv practice* a try and see if it doesn't get you some time you forgot you had.
Later,
Griff
