Would you object to anyone suggesting you should practice guitar every day if you want to be a good guitar player?

That’s all that these type of articles are suggesting.

The most well known creatives create every day. Every art form.



Yes and here are my thoughts"

Day 1, 4, 6, - do this all the time in BiaB
Day 2, 5, 17 - do this all the time with BiaB tracks in my DAW
Day 3 - try to do this with instrumentals and when collaborating with BobH when writing lyrics.
Day 7, 10, 11 - try to do this with instrumentals
Day 8 - not a lyricists
Day 9, 12, 15 - do this
Day 14 - always do this
Day 16 - I do this with instrumentals
Day - 18 - do this with BobH and JonD and others
Day 19 - I try to write instrumentals in all moods
Day 20 - I have my workflow but many times I deviate from it. It is not engraved in stone.

We have the advantage of having BiaB at our disposal 24/7/365. I'll bet that most of us already use many of those techniques.

After spending many years playing in wedding bands and playing what other people wanted I now play what I want and when I want.

I stand by my statement. Working in MIDI takes time and really can't be rushed if I want good results. Sometimes a song will only take a day or two but other times it may take weeks. But I enjoy this more than working with RTs or any other audio track(s).

Finally I know it takes practice to learn songwriting and/or playing any instrument. My songs are a lot better now then they were 20 years ago. My wind controller is better than a couple of years ago but my guitar playing has diminished as I don't practice like I should. But at my age I don't care.

YMMV
