I balance repertoire and technique in the same session, focusing on technical issues until I resolve them.

If I have a short time to prepare, I switch to higher gears to get things done more quickly, and practicing twice a day can be more effective than once a day. I focus on being efficient with my practice, spending time on what truly matters and avoiding distractions.

I set a timer for my practice sessions to ensure focused work without distractions, allowing me to achieve specific goals during that time.

I prefer shorter, focused practice sessions over longer, unfocused ones because quality is more important than quantity.

I touch the guitar every day, and on normal days at home, I practice for about four hours.

I separate practice from playing for enjoyment; mixing the two can lead to insecurities during performances, so I keep them distinct. When I practice, I'm problem-solving rather than just playing.

On concert day, I prefer to stay in my hotel room, practicing very little, usually just a short session in the morning and maybe an hour before the performance.

When I need to learn new repertoire quickly for tours, I focus on hitting the notes and playing the music, ensuring my hands are prepared for the technical challenges.

At the end of the week, even if I only practiced an hour a day, I often find I've made significant progress on a specific issue, which is more fulfilling than just playing casually.
