I play about 1-2 hours on school days, if I play at all. On weekends/holidays it can be as much as 6 hours, but only if I locking in on a certain FC/high score. *TTFAF 800k cough cough*

As far as habits, I sometimes do reverse Mosh 1 before songs, i.e. uwards quads, but lately I've taken to anchoring green and playing descending OBY and then BYR, back and forth inbetween songs.

When I play, I usually play about an hour. A habit of mine is to fret Mosh 1 in parts where there's no notes (like others), but this habit has gone past GH to the point where I do it at random moments when I'm at school.

Wow, I feel odd after reading this thread.

I don't play everyday. I don't even play every week O_O

Usually, most of my play time in Guitar Hero/Rock Band is when I have friends over, and we are PFO'ing. Unless I have a specific goal that I feel motivated to go for, I usually don't play when no one else is around. Sometimes I go weeks or months without playing, especially if no one comes over >_>

I should really play more

I probably average an hour a day, but it comes in bunches. I won't play for 2 days then play for 3 hours or something.

As far as habits, I don't have a ton of patience for FCing songs and I can only stomach 4-5 good runs through a song before I move onto something else if I don't get it. I like feeling like I'm getting better at the game, so running through Schism a billion times because the song lulls me to sleep isn't my cup of tea. I would much rather bomb hard sections then fret wrong in a really slow boring song. Sadly though, I'm addicted to those shiny green 100%'s which can lead to some frustrations.

I don't care for practice mode too much, but will use it to get down sections if I'm REALLY trying to FC something a la RYLAH solo 3, which I've only hit in real runs after missing in solo 2

Anyone else fret the Red Snake or Twin Solo Desending triplets right before a song? The frets just sound cool, so I do that sometimes...

I also tap triplets during breaks in songs, but I just weird....

These day I can play up to 8 hours at this game, but it's only because I have a bronchitis and I'm not going anywhere.

During school day I play about 1 1/2 hours, 4-6 on weekends when I'm home.

I have some weird bad habits.. When I don't play I feel perfectly fine, but as soon as I select a song my whole face begins to itch

which means that everytime there is a break in a song I scratch my face

Besides that I NEVER blink when the fretboard is running on the screen, I'm just too concentrated

So sometimes I also scratch my eyes when there is time enough..

I sometimes fret mosh 1, wierd how everyone does that

If it's not mosh 1 I just flail randomly or trill.

I usually play like an hour or so everyday, but I've been playing quite a lot recently (like 3 hours a day or something) trying to get top 100 for GH3H PS2, aswell as about 40+ FCs.

Well, currently a maximum of a couple of hours per week, spent playing Rock Band at a friend's house.

Before I quit the game, I spent maybe an hour max per day, though I didn't play every day, often taking short breaks.

As for habits, I just played random patterns:

(Yeah, everybody does Mosh 1 <_<)

etc.

repeating over and over. This was usually done tapping, holding down the green fret, with a 12211 fingering, as fast as I possibly could.

Other than that, I didn't really have any quirks. Sometimes I tried to strum as late as I possibly could right at the end of a song before the fretboard disappeared. :P
