imagine having 4-5 hours free to play guitar

For me, every hour is the fourth hour 🤌

" 4-5 hours free to play guitar every day " Damn that's my dream , man i got a day job to eat 😭

if all of you put down your phones, i guarantee you'd have at LEAST 2+ hours to practice, but we aren't ready for that conversation yet 🤣🤣

Man’s got to have absolutely shredded forearms playing that much daily

My daily routine for guitar practice: Step 1. Go to work Step 2. Leave work and pick up kids from school or sports. Step 3. Get ready for work the next day. Step 4. Get to play briefly on Saturday after work before yard chores. Welcome to dad/garage band. And ultimately not being that good on guitar lol. Enjoy your youth kids. Playing guitar is a badass way to spend your time👍🏼

Jesus, no wonder you got so good, so quickly!!!

That unemployed friend:

Even with a full time job. I have also never stopped practicing for 3-5 hours a day. Its all about the dedication and putting in the extra time into doing it. 2 hours before work and 2 hours after tends to work out best. Not that bad.

Some people forget that practice should be fun. Dude's got the right idea

This musician is progressing well and sounds rather good! Continue! 🎸

For anyone with less time, an hour a day of good structured practice and you'll improve at guitar!

Sometimes I warm up sometimes I don’t, but I always make sure to play metal.

Wish I had the time to practice this much.

I started playing guitar 3 months ago and today I finally play the intro to message in a bottle

For everyone commenting, you do not need to practice this much to be a really good guitarist, especially if you’re musically inclined, just do whatever is enjoyable for you and at the pace you feel is most comfortable enjoy the road ahead of you instead of trying to blaze through it

bro got the skills, the brains, and the discipline 💪🏻

I used to have time for practice, then life happened.

It shows man, definitely one of my new favorite guitarists now!

When I was a kid I used to get home from school at about 3.30pm and play until 1am - unstructured, just doing whatever. Writing I guess, noodling, trying to work out how to play things on a record (this is before KZfaq). Over the years you slowly end up having fewer hours in the day for playing. But any time spent playing is worth it. I do miss those carefree days though.

Learning a new riff or song on guitar is a great feeling

My whole day is guitar therapy and sometimes if I hear a song I like I’ll learn it. Recently I’ve been working on chord substitutions and such.

Love the left handed guitar strung backwards 😂 great channel btw I really enjoy watching your vids

i wish i had this much time to play guitar also i just cant find the energy

Honestly, I just do whatever i feel and build up the skill gradually

Can you do a video on what stretches you do?

🎶Oh my good ness oh my damn oh my goodness they goin ham🎶

Unless you’re an absolute prodigy, this is just what it takes to get insanely good at playing guitar. There aren’t any shortcuts. 🤘🏼

Lol...hour 5, practice plugging in and unplugging the guitar cable and then finally for the last hour I practice polishing the guitar

Really, this is how much practice it takes to get good, fast. I wish I could, but not with my job, enjoyed your video !

Honestly God this is a great video and I just love watching guitar videos. Even though I don't even play that much it inspires me to practice but I just don't have the time due to whatever

That’s some serious hardwork right there 💪🏻

Your room , amps and headstock are a vibe 🔥

Can you please do a Strat collection video, would be so cool to see all of them and why you got them

No better therapy than that 👌👌

I'm digging those posters Jimmie front and center cornered by stevie .🤘🏼

Keep shredding Mikey 🤘

Just wanna let you know, between seeing your shorts and listening to kirk hammet for awhile, I've really gotten into playing, I purchased my first strat about 6 months ago and last month I got a Les Paul as a gift, and you're a real inspiration!

I need that nirvana poster in the back ground

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😎

Attention: never static stretch before warming up. Dynamic stretches are fine, but hold off on the static stretches until you are warmed up.

This explains why you are amazing!!! Hard work ftw

I've been practicing to a metronome a lot recently and it's amazing the difference, also like you say bending I don't get to practice everyday as I don't get chance, but I've tried to be a bit more structured and I've found myself playing stuff I found difficult with a lot more ease, I work a lot on pull offs, hammer ons are so easy but it's the pull offs and instead of playing say 1234 I play 4321 playing the descending stuff is far more difficult so I concentrate on that, if you can play it descending anything else will come a lot easier, or at least that's what I found works for me

Lol..”this is my 4th hour “ 👍💯

sims when you’re trying to teach them how to play guitar:

i have been waiting!!!

That's so cool, I used to play 3 hours before precollege. Now I have a full-time job and study in the evenings. Anyway I still find 1-2 hours a day to practice and write songs 😮‍💨

Broo I have a hard time finding 10 mins to myself to practice and heres Mikey with 4-5 hours a day…. I need to re prioritize how my time is spent! 🤘🏼🎸

Yes it is therapy . Its great .

Thanks for sharing!!

It’s obvious that you put in the hours. Talent plus hard work is a winning combination.

Love that hellcat guitar

I have a full time job and a kid so 4-5 hour practice is impossible for me which, at first, felt like there was no point practicing at all cause i wouldnt become the next alex skolnik if i didnt get at least 4 hours in. Then, after some time of selfpity, i slowly began practicing again with 15 to 30 min a day and hoenstly it has worked wonders for me. My alt picking speed is increasing, my eartraining is getting really good and my overall feel is getting good too.

you’re the man bro. i love your content

Bueee este si que se la vive con la guitarra 🎸

Great dedication and discipline

Imma follow this routine

Nice guitar👍cool vid

We just love all those squire strats

you have such a nice setup & playing room

Omg your room is so beautiful

inspiring my man

God bless.

Wow this showed up at the right time thanks bro

In sports we established that stretching afterwards is the important part and stretching before exercise is loosing necessary muscle tension for better results. i wonder if, but guess that this also holds true for guitar. what do you think?

Idk y I get so jealous when I see someone better at guitar than me, it’s something I hate about myself but I feel like if I put in more hours it’ll just make me feel worse I’ve been stuck on the same songs and making the same riffs, it sucks but idk what it is about this vid, it’s kinda giving me hope in a way since I learned that Marcus King riff in like 10 min so I know I can but I just keep myself at a halt, it sucks man but like I said this video gives me a bit more hope for myself to become a better person and NOT get jealous since I’m tired of putting myself down and not accepting the fact that there’s others with years of experience out there. Sorry just wanted to rant since this video kinda made me see differently a bit more, thx :)

I started practicing 5 hours a day and you see exponential growth in a matter of weeks. I split my practice into Technical Skill and Musical Skill. It’s amazing.

Can u do one going into the scales/arpeggios u do?

that super reverb 😍😫

danggg wish i had that kind of time to practice. Whats funny is i set up guitars for work but i often dont get to play very often. Need to brush up my skills

"flexh out" 😅👍🏽

2 hours of practice is my max after that I just can't play either out of soreness or boredom

I’m getting a new guitar 1st electric guitar ever can’t wait to begin learning how to play this instrument. Seems like I can take some of the things I learned from the piano into my guitar learning journey 🤔

Practice makes perfect someway somehow

Keep it up dude. Big fan here.

When hes done hes just in time for more practice

I love Marcus king!!

streching your fingers for 20 minutes is insane

Haha this is basically exactly what I do, scales until I'm bored (usually an hour), riffs from songs I like until I'm bored (usually an hour), I've been doing solos instead of bends and then I just fuck around for another hour until my wrist gets sore. All while watching TV 🫡

Can you do a video on the best guitar stretches?

Thanks for sharing, I'm looking to structure my time better to get better after hitting a plateau last few years

Glad you've got the time

Awesomeness

I have that strat and I love it it’s my go to electric

I usually practice 23 hours a day. It’s really not hard at all it’s just about the passion and dedication to your craft

Thx for this I got my first guitar today👍

MARCUS KINGGGGG ❤

PLAYING MY BASS HELPS ME RELAX

See. I just play when I feel so no assigned time and I'll play whatever I feel and practise whatever I'm in the mood for. Having it all structured makes it less enjoyable and more like a chore

How do your fingertips hold up with this daily routine?

Great player..

You're an excellent player

Some years back I was subject to procrastination on the guitar : either I let the guitar in its corner for almost the full day and only finally played it at the end of the day, or (5-10 days later) I got over my lazyness and grabbed the thing for several hours in a row but not knowing where I was going... (and ended up more wore out than necessary !). Trying to solve this problem I now play SHORTER 3 or 4 or 5 sessions in the day EVERYDAY. That's how I found that during my procrastination period in fact the most difficult thing to do was move my ass and grab the guit. I think it is the key point that allows me to go forward.

When I was 16 and I started to practice we didn't have KZfaq. Around 2003. I had so many books and we actually learned how to read & write music. I used to practice 7-8 hours a day. We learned everything by ear too. I did record myself with a tape recorded and a 8 mil camera🤘I still play 1-2 hours every day.

He stretches before practice 😂

Commitment you stretch longer than i practice could be where I'm going wrong

Hour 2 and hour 4 is basically all I do. I find a cool song to play, play it, and then fuck around for a while.

Thank you for this, was always curious as to what your routine is?

Ive been seeing people say that they don't have energy or something to practice guitar this much. It honestly shouldn't be a chore. If you're not enjoying it for that long then maybe consider a new instrument, bc i believe you shouldn't do it if its not fun. I play guitar, and I don't set a timer for how long a day I should play. I just play all the time, whenever I get a free chance. Because I love it. I get lost in playing and end up playing for hours even though it only seems like 20 mins have gone by. So don't push yourself if you don't really want to. Ur choice, just a suggestion!

Is actually pretty cool to watch some of your videos when you repair guitars so who is your father that you idolize and he plays guitar
