Great point! But most of what I was doing in those days was purely physical practice, up and down the scales repeatedly. It was pretty non-musical and probably not even efficient, but it did get my strength and dexterity together. I could have learned much faster (and more useful stuff) if I had the internet or GuitarTricks way back then. :)

As a kid, you can practice forever and not get as sore or injure yourself as easily. I was only pointing it out as an extreme example, and that these days I practice nowhere near that much. At age 45 a couple of hours is a very substantial amount!
