When everyone's schedules coordinate, which isn't as often as I'd like. But when practices do happen they'll last anywhere from 3-5 hours. I don't necessarily practice guitar anymore, but I do spend pretty much any free time I have working on new riffs/songs.

It was 3 hour nights twice a week, but since those days I've gotten wrapped up in a few more projects, so The Ronald Raygun practices 3 hours on Wednesdays and Saturday nights are for my recording/ other projects.

First off, one of your guitarists should switch to Bass, or find a Bass player. You need a decent rhythm section (bass/drums) to NOT suck. If you are in a band together you must have similar interests. What do you guys like? Punk? Metal? Country? Learn an easy Green Day song or the Ramones. Just play and play together. The key is Rhythm, the beat.

Depends on what were going over. We practice in a storage unit so we are only allowed after 7 when the place closes so depending on everyones school and work schedule anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. 2 if were going to just go over the set a few times 5 if were going to play the set then work on new material.

Ummm, did you mean to put this in the myth-busting thread, or is it sarcasm or what?\
Or are you really just that stuck in the status quo?

The Bumps practice for two/two and a half hours, one day a week. Sometimes someone will get together and work on a new tune and bring it to the rehearsal.

Mecha Shiva practices for three to four, sometimes longer sometimes shorter twice a week. Being all improvisational it kinda depends on our energy and inspiration level. We also spend a lot of time hanging out and listening to our recordings.

I pick up my bass at least once a day, for how long depends but an hour or so a day. How much I would actually say I'm practicing is a different story,...mainly I just noodle about.
