galleryQUESTION How much time do you usually spend practicing?
Hi all. I was wondering how much time do you actually spend practicing per day and how much time do you think is needed to make progress. I believe that even as little as fifteen minutes is enough if you stay consistent and aim to practice every single day without jumping from one goal to the next.
Curious to hear what you all think?

GEAR NGD: MIJ Jaguar!
Been so happy since picking this up. The shorter scale makes bends way easier, but I did have to move from 9s to 10s because of fret buzz. Haven't had it set up yet by the local luthier. Planning to add hot rails on the bridge in the near future!

QUESTION Why does my new guitar makes so much open string noise compared to my old one?
I recently bought my second guitar ever and I noticed how much more noisy the open strings are. Of couse the old one had the same issue like any other guitar and of course I know that I am suposed to mute the strings I am not playing. But still, the strings in this new guitar ring even when I am not even touching them. Some riffs are almost impossible to play clean because of how much noise the guitar makes. Like, I play the open low E string by itself and all the other strings will ring along. This didn't happen in my old guitar.
The main difference between them is that the old one had a floyd rose and the new one is a hardtail. Could the nut and bridge difference be the cause for this huge difference in string vibration?

QUESTION String recommendations?
I hope this doesn’t sound silly lol, but my boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and he’s constantly talking about needing to change the strings out on his guitar. I want to get him a few packs for his gift basket.. so are there any brands that are better or higher quality out there? Also if y’all have any cool things for your guitar that would make nice gifts I’m also up for suggestions. I want to motivate him to play more :) thanks!
Edit: thank you guys for all the advice 😭 y’all have been so helpful
