WHen I was 18 I practiced every day from 9am to 2pm, then made some lunch ad then at 3pm I started
teaching lessons until 8pm then I went to a nightly band practice until about 11 or 12. Where was a night
off from band practice I would practice more scales for 2-3 hrs. Some days when I didnt have any private
lessons I would practice 12 hrs or 13 hrs with a couple of light food breaks. When I was 22 I practiced 14
hours a day on days with no lessons and then on days with lessons I would stop practicng, go teach, then
come back and practice until 3am. WHen you want to be as good as John McLaughln, you have to do what
Mclaughlin does.
