I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
gig once a week average and rehearse 2-3 evenings a week.
I also totally agree that the less time I spend playing the more I gas for stuff I don't really need.
Are you saying us GASheads are making up for a shortfall elsewhere?
You're probably right. I try to practise, but lose my way, noodle the same old things, and don't really progress....
I try to get in 1 hour a day, sometimes I do, mostly I don't.
I'm better on early finish as I have a proper evening and time to do it.

I sold my games consoles years ago and I don't watch TV unless I'm eating. Guitar is more fulfilling than either as far as I'm concerned. I would like more time to exercise if anything! Right now music is my no1 outlet and takes up the majority of my spare time.
:-\"
I doubt if I manage more than 10 minutes overall per week at home.
The room I play in at home has been used as a bit of a dumping ground over the last couple of weeks so I've only really played in the lounge, but that'll get back to normal soon.
GAS is absolutely inversely proportional to the amount of playing time that I have, or perhaps that's the other way round!! But if I'm not in the mood to play at home, I don't beat myself up over it. If I'm lacking in inspiration, I've got a list of tapping, chords, slide guitar, country, hybrid picking and modes to delve into, not to mention new songs, so it just depends on how I feel as to what I play.
But when I'm in the zone of learning a new song or technique, I feel very enthused and time flies by when practising, normally for over an hour each evening in those situations.

The best thing to happen to me was to stop shift work. I felt like I had no time for anything then.
