2 hours at times, short 30 minute practice sessions on several occasions, which is usually the latter haha

i dont like using the word practice because its usually associated with work and mundane stuff. i prefer playing as an when i like to and at my own pace.
i usually play abt 30mins everytime, if i have the time. can range from just once to abt 5-6 times a day. i play for relaxation and leisure. ppl play l4d or whatever other games for breaks i play guitar.

learn new songs, play songs u like, and practice some scales every now and then. but i spend most of my time playing songs though. the more i play, the more exposed i am to different styles, licks and scales. i dont practice scales like how some pianists do. i pick them up from songs i learn.

+1 to this. But, L4D IS THE BOMB!
On a separate note, balance your time. There isn't a need to practise guitar like 6 hours a day to be good. Of course, you can. But seriously, who would? =/
Just concentrate on what you do for that 1 hour well, put in your best effort. Can be learning songs for your band's jam, for leisure, or purely for personal interest. You're improving along the way; just that so many of us don't know that

i try to play at least 10 hours a week. on a good day, i can go up to 3 hours. but nowadays, i can hardly find the time to play. :[
i would usually work on technique (learn new ones or improve on existing ones) and build up my knowledge of the fretboard as well as speed. and sometimes some songs too. ;]

simply put, licks or riffs are short passages you play on the guitar, both fast and slow. they mostly have a repetitive pattern and can be played using different techniques (tapping, hammer ons and pull offs, muting, sweep picking etc...)
you should learn new songs by finding songs that you like listening to. which begs the question, what kind of music do you like? and by knowing that, you will be researching for musicians and artists making that kind of music and finding their tabs online and stuff like that. the best part is that if you are keen enough, you'll also know of similiar artists playing in that same genre, and also look for their stuff to play.
i usually go to youtube to find a particular artist or song that i like to listen to it. as always there will be those tags of other artists so do check that out as well.
cheers! hope ive helped

haha most of the time 2 hours.
1 hour in the afternoon and the other at night. spend most of the time practising the songs that my band's going to play on our next gig. but sometimes would screw around may come up with my own riffs. hahaha.
i use it as a break after studies, dont really like to play games during breaks, cos it totally 'kills' the momentum of my thinking. haha hope u kno wat i mean.
coming up with riffs and sitting down to think of ways to make it better just stimulates my mind more you kno. hahaha
