I put this in the Gibson area in case anyone asks, because Mr Allman had a thing for Gibson guitars as we well know.
"You've got to wake up, brush your teeth, and practice, then have yourself some coffee, and practice some more, have lunch, and practice some more, and have dinner, and practice some more. Ya get my meaning? Maybe after dinner, you want to go out for a while and listen to some cats play something different, but when you get home, you practice what you heard that night that impressed you while it's still fresh, and you go to bed thinking about it, and wake up and do it all over again the next day. You have to treat it like a job, but it's not a job, it's so damn much more than just a job. Work at it for at least eight hours a day or it's just another f***ing hobby, and you might as well be building model airplanes with your thumb up your ass. But the cool thing is...while you are doing all of this, you just naturally start going down the right roads. If you are going to make music your life, you'll make certain important decisions, you see...along the line. And if you make those decisions in a logical manner, the top is the only place you go.”
- Duane Allman advising Bill Thames about the importance of practice.
