I used to put in at least 11 -- 11 to 15 hours a day.
The real answer is always practice more. Damn.

There was nothing to do but play, you know and we had a lot of fun trying to play, you know.
I did, plenty of jam sessions, much late hours, plenty of good food, nice clean living. you know.
But basically speaking -- much poverty.

That's why we've got to start 'em young. I knew when I was 3 or 4 years old that I needed a guitar. In the childhood years, you've got nothing but time.
