    well first of all, you shouldn't practice 6 hours straight. take some breaks in between, get water/food, let your lips rest. and if your neck starts hurting, maybe you should look into those full back straps. they don't put the pressure on your neck and are sorta like....backpacks on the front? do you really have that kind of time for practicing??
