FAQs

Here are some common questions I get asked from time to time.

How long does it take to learn to play the guitar?

How long is a piece of string? It depends largely upon how often and for how long you practice. If you want to progress more quickly, then obviously you will have to practice regularly. Generally, a regular practice routine, each practice session of a length you are happy is better than irregular 5 hour sessions! (Typically, a practice routine might be one hour per day, but really, its what ever suits you and what your lifestyle allows).
