Is 9am an unreasonable time in the morning to play guitar?

I think there's a difference with useful work that can't honestly be done quietly, like mowing the lawn or sanding/drilling/sawing/hammering. After 9am is ok on a Sunday for those. 10 is better, but 9 is ok.
No it isn't. It's ignorant and selfish, I'm OK f
k everyone else. The same with loud guitar practice.

Im not sure there is a way to use headphones, the only output on the head is for either 8 or 16 ohm speakers.
I think if i plugged some headphones into this it would blow them up!!
No, you are right, electric guitars are only able to be played through speakers....I think if i plugged some headphones into this it would blow them up!!
Come on, you can work the internet well enough to post on here, spend two minutes working out how not to be a dick when it comes to your neighbours.
Edited to add, you have to love the juxtaposition of the don’t give a damn metalhead and the pretty little S2000.

I used to use the midday rule - no loud noises before midday, celebrate the first drumbeat with a beer, and by the time it got to 6pm we were tired, hungry, or drunk, so the music stopped.
Remember asking my neighbours once for permission to play very loudly at 6pm one Saturday, for 20 minutes, just for fun. We spent 15 minutes playing terribly as we'd had a few too many, and resorted to playing Postman Pat through the 200W speakers at max pelt and giggling as we ran down the road at how we could hear it about 6 houses down.
Nothing wrong with playing a guitar at 9am on a weekend but use a small amp or headphones. Contrary to popular belief a decent smaller amp (e.g. a Line 6) won't stcan your guitar quality, and headphones aren't directly linked to the speaker output.
I'm speaking to you now whilst wearing an old pair of Sony headphones I used to use for my backing track when pissing around on the guitars. Except I'm listening to Breathe Carolina instead.

My father was ex RAF music services , when stationed at Uxbridge in the 80's they had a phone call from a chap complaining that he couldn't get enough session work because the RAF boys were getting so much of it.Even now ,3 years after he passed away, we are still discovering people that dad worked with , mainly on trombone but also on bass guitar , his principal instrument was euphonium but that was mainly limited to brass or military band work .
The biggest suprise was to discover that he had recorded with The Stranglers, his usual style being more Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis, Shirley Bassey etc .
