   8 hours on the piano at my peak ... which was a long time ago 
Nowadays (especially since I mainly play bass), I tend to do it two or three hours at a stretch ... Got two hours pencilled in tonight with my band in fact

	About 20 hours on a weekend when trying to learn the piano intro of Firth of Fifth. About 15 hours more on a weekend learning the rest of the song.

	I once was working on a guitar solo for 18 hours straight. If band practices count, my other guitarrist and I were actually working on an epic for about 25 hours straight. Energy drinks will do that to you.

	When being alone I prefer to practice for about 1-2 hours. I' ve heard that your mind writes new information for a quarter and then it kinda repeats those for 3 quarters. This means that stopping every hour for 5 min. is essential. However it's extreamely important to practice EVERYDAY. Even 10 minutes. Practicing for about an hour a week by doing 10 min. of practice every day is much better than playing 6 hours in a row on Sundey and not having touched the instrument for the rest of the week. Drummers like Dave Weckl have claimed that they practice like 12 or more hours every day. I belive him but very few people have the ability not to talk about the patience to do that. 1-2 hours EVERYDAY is the best IMO.

	I don't practice at all - which is why I can't play worth a C**P!
