I would consider myself an intermediate to advanced guitar player. I like to get a little guitar playing in everyday even if it's just strumming the acoustic. I try to get a few good practices in a week to just work on technique. These usually go 30-60 minutes.
How often per week do you usually practice and how long per day?

Dude I practice everyday. Do you have band? What kind of music do you play? What kind of guitar do you have?

I have a full electric band that plays a lot of high energy stuff. Ramones, Green Day, U2, 80's and 90's alternative. I'm also in an acoustic duo who play just about everything...Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Irish folk, Beatles up to Jack Johnson. I grew up heavily influenced by Iron Maiden and Rush.
I have a beat up old acoustic, an Ibanez acoustic/electric, Carvin electric, Epi Les Paul and my prized possession a '75 Strat.
How about yourself?

Back in those days while I was still learning to play the guitar, I would really practice whenever I have time. Enduring the pain caused by the strings to my fingers and patiently strumming the guitar even if its not on the tune.

I know the finger pain very well. I still get that when I don't play for a while then get back to it. Like when I'm on vacation. It still happens occasionally if I play the acoustic for long periods of time.

Hello Rockerfellaco, I play music (guitar or piano) at least three or four times a week, about 45 minutes each time.
Today I read a quote " the musician can stop practicing a day: nobody notices it. Two days: he notices it, the third day: everybody notices it."
We cann´t stop studying. We cann´t stop, so few people understand it if they are not musicians.
Blessings Rockerfellaco... dainy

It really depends on the day. I can practice for an hour or two but I'll usually play at least what you do yourself.
