How many hours a week do you play your prs?

[ozboy]

I am about 10 hours a week for the past couple of years

 

[11top]

10 is about right including rehearsal time. We gig about once a month which would add 3-4 hours that week.

 

[Boogie]

Even in my current lazy state, with gigs it's 5-10 hours a week, but closer to 5 atm.

 

[shinksma]

Tricky question for a couple of reasons:

I gig the occasional weekend, so when I do play out that adds three hours to that week, plus we usually practice a bit more in anticipation, so there might be a few more there. Some weekends I get to spend a lot of idle time noodling on my guitars, some weekends I never get a chance to pick one up.

And...I don't always play PRS (shhh!). I mess around on an Epi Casino I keep at the girlfriend's place, plus occasionally I want to play my Strat, or LP, or an acoustic (I don't have an Angelus...yet).

So in total probably a bit over 10 hrs a week total guitar touch time, averaged over a couple of months. But probably a bit less than 10 hrs per week of PRS-touch-time...

Too many... and yet not enough.

This time of year my playing is highly biased to acoustic and most of that is not on PRS. Lately my electric time has also been non-PRS. Recently my weeks probably break down to:
2hr classical
4hr other acoustic
2hr PRS electric
4hr other electric

long term average is more like
3hr classical
3hr other acoustic (maybe 25% PRS)
5hr PRS electric
2hr other electric

 

[Spikedog007]

I try to play for an hour a day, everyday. Most times it works out.

 

[DuncanCE22]

I aim to play half hour a day minimum. Most of it on my PRS but I do occasionally pick up the Srat.

 

[László]

I'm about 12 hours, give or take, if I include recording work.

 

[gball]

I'm in the majority here as well. Probably right around 10-12 hours, more if I do a jam or little gig.

 

[Sekunda]

10-20 for me. 3-4 hour band practice at least twice a week, plus evening noodling on the couch. Then add any time to learn new stuff... How do we still have fingers left after all this abuse?

:dontknow:

 

[flimbo]

I wish I could do 40+ hours. Might be quite good in a couple of years. :wink:

 

[jchix]

I used to play like 20 hours a week until my son was born 2 years ago. He unfortunately doesn't let me play very much, but that will change when I can teach him to play with me !

 

[Dancing Frog]

Lately, two or three hours. I have been playing mandolin and singing and acting in a musical, and I have been focused on that.

 

[sleary]

I normally play 3-10 hours a week . Since almost being killed last week, not much until I heal......

When my daughter is around we jam and make up riffs for her band ....

 

[tiboy]

Technically 0 because the PRS has not seen the outside of the case in months. But throw in the Gibson VOS cousins and I'm at about 15 hours a week. My skill level is more commensurate with 15 hours a year.

 

[hpr]

Well, I just got mine today, but for the past three months I've actually been averaging something close to 120 hours of playing per month. After a few years of not really playing at all I was invited to a band about a year ago and my playing has continuously increased as I again felt the need to improve and enjoy it like crazy again.

 

[CoreyT]

Right now, less than two hours a week it seems, and I only play from Friday evenings to Sunday.
No time on work nights at all to play when I get home from work.

But...with Thanksgiving coming up I have a four days off, so that will go up.
And I have 17 days off at Christmas time,. so the guitars will be getting lots of attention.

 

[Zack Matzanias]

I play my SC-58 as my primary guitar, but I also pick up my strat, EVH and Les Paul on occasion. Probably 12+ hours each week of total guitar.

 

[Mikegarveyblues]

Virtually none at the moment. Once I get the music room set up and get back in the groove I'll possibly do 10+ hours. When I was at college doing music it was probably 5 hours a day minimum most days a week. Wish I had that time these days!
