Re: practice makes perfect.....how long

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

How did you do this? Was this all playing along with the record or did you 
write down any of the notes in tab or notation?

By phrase or by trying to play the tune from memory after hearing it a few 
times?

Or by playing along with record and matching as many notes as possible until 
you match all of them?

How long does this take? For a 2-3 minute tune?

now call me old fashioned but practice to me was always sit in front of a

that was for up to 3-4-5 hours a day (i was brought up in thatchers reign...but 
we won't go there) and even then when i was working it was nearly always an 
hour most nights, just when i hear cats talk about 5 mins it really stumps or
