this one time my band was playing this big show and we did 5 hours every day in the week right before it, and the day before we did a full day of practice, literrally like 15 hours...

 

And the show turned out like sh*t any way..

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

5 hours, I think. Maybe 4. With just a bass, that's a LOT of time. I was figuring out Gentle Giant's "Advent of Panurge" and "Cry for Everyone".

By myself? Probably an hour. I'm a slack b*****d

With my band, when we rehearse it's usually for about 4-5 hours, but we're not constantly playing of course.

I played for about 7 hours straight once. I don't know if you could call it "practising" though, I was more just doodling around on the guitar while watching Tv.

Concentrated practise, maybe 3-4 hours. I don't consider that a very long session, though. There's this guy I met over here who practised about 10-12 hours ever day, after he finished school.

on the "Gong Est Mort - Vive Gong" event, which took place May 14th 1977 and was 14 hours long, the late Pierre Moerlen played drums in 4 (!!!!) bands: the band of Steve Hillage, Gong in the "Shamal" line-up, Gong in the "Espresso 2" line-up and finally in "Classic Gong" (who did an overly long gig). there were several other musicians who played in more than one line-up

At one time I used to practise Czernzy exercises and scales and arpoegios for two hours evey day followed by 3 hours of pieces then a couple of hours composition. All this on a piano in an understair cupboard  (2m * 1m). This continued for 3 years then I got a life.

the largest time would sum about 16,17 hours, counting stops for baths, lunch and etc.

i used to be a guitar freak, spending whole days playing and doing exercises, luckily i got a girlfriend who saved me from the dark

now i dont practice a lot cos im really into musical production and recording

10 hours is a long time ... I guess I also did that a couple of times 10 years ago. But I think it's more important to practice on a regular basis - every day, even if it's just 20 minutes.

I once had 8 hours in one day with 2 bands. End of the day was very tired.
Usaly with bands its 4 hours each time.

At one practice, while everyone was getting a drink i stayed in the room and did a 30 minuets bass blues solo. Ahhh how fun that was

Guitar - 8 hours

Bass - 7 hours

Piano - 23 hours...that was one long day, I just didn't want to quit, ended up dislocating 3 of my fingers to the point where the bone ripped the skin.

you're crazy
I never time myself but I'll take a guess, 8 hours on guitar. then there are those days where I just strap it on and do everything with the guitar in my hands playing bits and pieces here and there
