I consider all time spent with a guitar strapped on to be useful and worthwhile.

At the same time, I consciously avoid long stretches of aimless playing or working on things I already have down pat. There have always been the biggest time-wasters for me.

I have 3 types of practice.

1. My songlist, woodshedding each day as much as I can do.
2. Creative noodling
3. Random noodling

I waste tons of time on random noodling. Creative noodling is where I work on new song compositions. I have special guitars for each one!

For songlist I use J45 and or Taylor 314.
For creative noodling I use Larivee D40 or Martin GPC 16, they suggest new melodies
For random noodling, Martin D18 and Yamaha APX600.

On electrics, either I compose - Kramer SM1 or Squier Strat 2000 issue
I noodle using my SY200 guitar synth, Jeff Beck Strat or Tele (for country pickiing only_)

Each guitar is a unique way to waste time!
