Just a thought I had today.
I go to a very competitive private school, and between staying on top of my studies and remaining competitive in athletics, I find little time or energy to pursue new areas on the guitar. I attempt to squeeze in about forty minutes a day, but even that's a struggle.
So my question to you all is, what's the bare minimum you guys can get away with playing guitar and RETAINING YOUR CHOPS AND FLUENCY**? Granted, I know it varies sporadically from person to person (pianist Vlad Horowitz said that if he didn't practice for a day he knew it, two and his wife knew it, and three and his audience knew it. By contrast, Shawn Lane would not play for months, instead writing on piano, and his super human chops would stay just that. Super human.)
**Just clarifying my definition of retaining chops and fluency: After a 20-30 minute thorough warm up, you are pretty much able to play at the peak of your technical abilities without much problem.
