Question: With 7 hours a week means I will not become a decent guitar player in 3 years?
Answer: An hour a day is good if you’re just beginning. I encourage my new students to do that much on a daily basis and it seems to work fine. You can increase your practice time as your skill and interest in guitar increases. If you have more time available and want to practice more, by all means go ahead, but you should do OK at the current level.

What a great guitar lessons question:
Question: I haven’t heard of a guitar player taking 15 years of lessons…
so 4-5 years is enough to be competent?
-8th month and doing 1-2 hours practice daily
Answer: What you haven’t heard is about the coaches that work with even the best. Many continue to work with coaches for their entire career.
If you are satisfied with being competent and think you are wasting your money, then quit or find a teacher or coach that will take you farther than playing notes, learning chords, playing scales. Study Theory and composition.

We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of learn guitar. Let’s take a look:
Question: * I had a guitar player tell me once that "Pantera" (Dime Bag) is very technical and hard to play the lead guitar to and is easier to play the "Tool"?
* I do not play the guitar so I can not tell the differences in complexity of the guitar playing.
* "Pantera" or "Tool" which has the most complexity lead guitar playing?
Answer: Dimebag’s lead style was exceptional. He had a very individual approach to harmony and by far, he excels when compared to Adam Jones from Tool, although as previous people have said, Tool have a far more adventurous rhythm section (and probably one of the best drummers ever!)
Dime is a shred head, whereas Adam is far more feel based. Both are great, but to learn Dime’s stuff, you would need to do a lot of foundation work on your chops

A guitar lessons question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: I have an acoustic guitar and has couple of books to teach myself a guitar, however, I have not yet learned how to play. I have learned about 10 chords, but knowing these chords does not make me a guitar player….. I have been thinking of taking a guitar lesson, is it worth it?
Answer: >>I have been thinking of taking a guitar lesson, is it worth it?<<
Guitar lessons (not just one lesson) are totally worth it. Statistics show that 90% of people who try to teach themselves, fail. If you’re serious about learning to play the guitar, take lessons. Good luck.
I really love playing it. Can’t say the same about what i’m going to be learning. But yeah thanks for the input.
. With both piano and guitar the music you will be able to play will range from famous classical pieces (MOZART piano concertos
