I started this year and have been playing for about 4 months. I feel lousy b/c I started so late. I’m 17. How long does it take to learn all the basics and how long to become really good.
I’m kind of good, I mean you can see I’m progressing but I’m not that good yet. I should have started at like 13 or something.
it varies from person to person…depends on a lot of factors like how much you practice, what you practice, how quick of a learner you are, self taught/lessons?, goals, ect…
I started learning guitar at 13 along with my best friend. He took lessons and I taught myself and we progressed at very different paces. After a few months I was already playing solos and doing Metallica stuff note for note and my friend was still struggling to do basic chord progressions.
As long as you stick with it and practice you will get better…and as long as you always have the desire to get better and progress…I have been playing for almost 14 years and still have a ton to learn and am always trying to improve my skills/techniques!!
