music_literature_freak asked:


If I practice every day and have a lesson once a week, how long will it take for me to become really good? I already know how to read music (I play the violin and the piano), and I already have an acoustic guitar. I know this question should be in the music section, but I wanted to put this question in the adolescent section to see what people my age have to say about this.

Also: Is there anyone here who plays the guitar and is good? How long have you been playing the guitar for? How long did it take you before you became good at the guitar?

    It is going to depend on your musical ability. If you are musical by nature you will do well, but if you are not, you may not be very good. But you may not have found your instrument, so don’t give up until you find it.

    I play some, I’d play better if I had lessons and practiced every day - but I had to teach myself. It took about 6 weeks alone to get to where what I was playing was recognizeable as music and was played on tempo with good hand position and good dynamics. With lessons, practice, and talent, you could probably be pretty good in a year or two.

    Really good or just OK? To get really good, I’d say years, but then again when I think of really good I think of Joe Satriani.

    No wait, that’s when I think of perfect or excellent.

    For it all depends on how hard you will fight for it all depends on how bad you want it all depends on how bad you will fight for it and how bad you will fight for it and how hard you will fight for.
    For it and how hard you will fight for it all depends on how bad you will fight for.
