[Rick Lee]

You should play a minimum of one hour per day, every day, no exceptions. That's the bare minimum it will take to get anywhere at all. Better yet is a few hours a day and, if you're a tv watcher, always have a guitar by the couch to plink on while watching tv. One you get good, you can maintain your chops with one hour a day, but you won't progress with less than two hours per day. I have a gig tonight, I've been playing all these songs for 20-25 yrs. and I still feel totally unprepared because I only played about 10-12 hours in the last week.
