I generally commit to playing six days a week. (I figure even God rested on the seventh day…ha! But seriously, even if I end up picking up the guitar on Sunday, it is a win for me).

I have an office that is my “guitar den.” I have an amp, a mic, and a recording interface that I am just learning how to use. My guitars are on a Swing String so I can grab whatever suits me at the moment. No question about where to practice–I even have a playing area set up with a music stand.

Generally, I play in the mornings, after we walk the dog on some off-leash trails. I do my daily guitar stretches while walking. When I return to my office/guitar den I pull up the TAC lesson for the day and begin playing. Occasionally, if there are errands to run or work to do, I end up postponing until the early afternoon, and very rarely put it off until after dinner. It doesn’t seem to be an issue for me to wait until later in the day to play if needed–the habit is strong and seeing my guitars displayed on my office wall is a big visual cue to get into it!
