Practice Anniversary
As of today I have practiced guitar every day for the past year.
242 hours and 9 minutes total for a daily average of 40 mins/day. Jan 29th was my shortest practice of only 7 mins. I also had a 9 min on June 5th and two 10 min days. Otherwise all practice sessions were over 15 mins.
Some days were tough as I was travelling or had a busy schedule, but trying to keep the streak alive made me sit down with the guitar to practice just 10 mins. It always turned into more. Not sure if I should keep it going or reset and go for another year.
I still feel like a beginner who doesn’t know what they are doing but looking back over the last year I can see that I have made amazing progress. I still have a long way to go in this guitar journey and I’m looking forward to it.

Best of All Moose as long as you get in your playing time you will advance. Don’t even have to think about how. Just log on and do the thing. Way more to it when we break down the intricacies of the string/note relationships. But It is at its core basic. Do you recall your first session vs Yesterdays?

That is impressive. I had a year streak I deliberately broke once (pressure was starting to rob the joy), but I certainly didn’t average that much time per session. You are to be commended for building such a good habit without letting the habit overtake the fun. You are an encouragement to all us on this guitar journey. You are much better at posting than I am. Perhaps that should be another encouragement for us.

@Moose408 is this information (hours practiced) logged by the TAC site or have you been tracking it yourself?
-
I track it myself. I find the TAC website to not always be accurate.
I use an app on my iPhone called Andante. It gives me great stats and logging capabilities.

Congrats on your streak! You’ve built a healthy and productive habit and are having fun doing it, which is the whole point. I recently (yesterday) started a new daily practice streak after a hectic past six months. I’m looking to make it a part of as many days each week as I can.
I use an Android/web app called Instrumentive to track my practice and have found it helpful in keeping me accountable to myself.
