I recently did the 15 hour workout. I got into some pretty freaky States of mind. My vision is five times sharper, every note seems louder, and I can play effortlessly in almost any key. I lost myself for like 3 hours, and finally looked at the clock and 3 hours had passed already. I have had a plethera of different ideas, and multitudes of inspiration took my mind on a phrygian journey through time and space... and a whole pack of strings. Steve, I truly understand your meaning for these workouts. They have given me more knowledge in 15 hours more than I have played for five months. I truly thank you Steve, or shall I call you master. Has anyone else had such results as mine? The first hour was tough to get by, but when you lose yourself and give in to your bleeding fingers, it is a hell worth it.

I barely stay away for 15 hours never mind play guitar for 15 hours. It is amazing, though, when you play/practise for a longer period of time how your fingers start flying about like never before. I found Steve's 10-hour workout incredibly dull. Instead I just try and master a lick until I've finally got it nailed. Sometimes my left wrist becomes inflamed I've been playing for so long.

I'm still rubbish, though.

Well, after like 5 hours of sitting there playing, I was starting to get dizzy, almost like a really looong reverberate

Your supposed to eat every few hours... Low blood sugar sets in

I wish I could come up with 15 hours to practice! Usually by 10 min into practice the phone starts ringing, kids start yelling, work starts calling, life happens. It takes sacrifice to go out on even a short tour, music is deffinately only for the percevering person! For the Love....

I'm still a kid. I got time... less and less time, but still a lot. And everytime I wanted to eat, I would play something that sounded amazing and u would forget I was hungry

Hah! must have got the wrong toad their mate.

plenty of cane toads here in australia bloody things are every where, though you should try magic mushrooms a few joints instead of 15 hours try 15 days .
the days turn into years the world looks wierd little goblin dance at your feet color and sparks around your finger tips .
as you go through the tube worlds change .
then all of a sudden a boring scale is boring no more my god this is music;

its true years ago I rented an old farm house in the middle of now where I was out of work at this time with a great rig in my garage I would have it so loud I had to stand out side the garage whilst playing ,,,,.
I would jam for days on end the only time I would stop would be to go to the toilet or make a coffee and a smoke and no one would hear from me for weeks at a time ,...it was magic mushroom season is well

I remember my Dad came to see me as no one had seen me for weeks getting into months to see if I was ok he walked away confused at what I was babling to him but he left me some food which was nice of him
thus my playing did improve as a result of this I even ended up in a little rock band for a while when I needed money I would busk at the shopping mall in the nearest town,,,,,.
more to come later

yeah I guess you could go either way with that ,...I miss those good old days now I have a family a job to hold down it dose pay very well but Im not playing my guitar for a living which has allways been the dream ,...but you never know I still enjoy playing very much and its a great feeling when you play as you probably well know.
