Haha, thanks for the compliment but you'd likely be disappointed!

I generally only play for sessions of 45 minutes to one hour max.  Any more than that and mental fatigue creeps in.  I try to practice for short amounts of time frequently, rather than for big long chunks of time.

I also have to confess I don't really "doodle" much.  I'm fairly time poor with a part-time day job and also playing in three bands, plus wanting to spend as much quality family time as possible.  So this means that my practice time is quite structured.  I'll focus on warming up with a few scales or play few tunes that work the fingers out well.  After that each practice has a specific goal, which usually revolves around learning a new song or improving upon a part of an old one that is a bit marginal.  I'm not terribly naturally talented, so I need to keep up to date with the tricker parts of songs I haven't played live for a while if they make a re-appearance into a set list.
