Neither.

Honestly, I practice at band rehearsals and not really otherwise. I may pick up a guitar between rehearsals and play something, or work on writing a new song, but not really "practicing" n the sense of trying to learn a new technique or perfect an old one. At band practice we run through the songs. Usually in the order they're played. Maybe work on arranging a new one.

That's it. I'm old and set in my ways. I know how to do what I need to do to play the original material done in the bands I'm in. I'm not really interested in learning other techniques that would only be necessary to cover other peoples' songs or to play genres I'm not interested in playing.

@ninja636 I can understand your dilemma and know how you've got to dig deep sometimes to get a session in. I wrote a post with 5 practice tips for beginners last month. Like @wolfsbane67 mentioned: 30-60 minutes of solid practicing per day is sufficient, as long as you're consistent with that time each day.

A specific tip from my post: Play hardest scale or tune first. Hope this and the other tips can be of some help. Cheers!
