In a perfect week, I practice scales for at least 15 minutes per day. Then I practice the songs my kids and I have chosen to work on. We meet as a group every 2 – 4 weeks and play together (2 guitars and a mandolin, with a random number of voices), mostly simple songs as two of us (me included) are pretty new to this.

I have a beginner acoustic guitar book that I am using to learn the guitar again. I try to spend at least 30 minutes per day in it. It’s not bad as I can go at my own pace and the lesson incorporate a technique followed by using it in a song, so that makes it fun.

Most weeks I can spend time on the guitar about 5 of 7 days.
