i have been playing piano for 13 years and clarinet for 6 years.
do you think it will be easy for me to learn how to play it?
and how long would it take?
it just looks kinda hard cuz ur not actually looking at the guitar, and u don’t know where ur hands are going.

Well it will be not that hard to learn how to play the guitar for someone like you who is really into music. Most especially if you have good guide on learning how to play the guitar, it will not take some time.

my cousin just gave me his electric guitar and i wanted to learn how to play it but there is no place around where i live to get lessons…some people in school can play the guitar but they are all boys and im too afraid to ask them to give me some lessons so i would like to know how long it usually takes to teach yourself how to play electric guitar?

Here’s a breakdown of the stages of guitar learning and the approximate time it might take you to get there.

- Playing Basic Chords – This is usually the first benchmark most new players reach: The ability to strum and switch between the basic guitar chords. At this point you don’t necessarily have the chords memorized and aren’t able to play many songs, but you’re managing to fret and strum them. This level can be reached within one week.

- Playing easy songs – You’ve mastered more guitar chords and have been practicing them enough that you’ve got most of them memorized and are able to strum and switch between them without too much hassle, and without looking at the fretboard when you do. This means you can play songs! This level can be reached in two to three weeks of daily practice, though for many it might be longer.

- Playing Barre and Power Chords – We’re moving right along and you’re advancing to a level where most self-taught guitarists never go. Barre Chords are much more difficult than open chords and learning these takes extra practice and a whole new set of strength in your fretting hand. It’s possible to play most barre chords in two months, quicker for some who practice a lot.

- Fingerpicking – The ability to pluck individual strings and play simple riffs (short solo pieces on individual strings) is a new skill your strumming hand needs to learn. This can usually be achieved in two to three months if you start to learn and play easy guitar tabs.

- Lead Guitar – A Lead guitarist is the guy or girl who’s got the audience at his/her beckoning. Playing solo’s and using techniques like slurring, vibrato and palm muting is a whole new set of rules and I’d give it three to four months. This might be way off depending on what kind of music we’re talking about – playing acoustic solo’s might take less time, but playing rock or metal solo’s will probably take longer.

- The improviser – A guitarist that can improvise riffs and solos on the spot (and in the middle of a song), have moved from the realm of amateurship to being a pro or semi-pro. Depending on how much talent you have and what you’re musical background is, this might take anything from six months to a year.

Please note that these time lengths are given as a very broad estimate and aimed at people with little musical experience. If it takes you longer than a week to learn the basic chords, don’t get upset. These times are not set in stone and you have to learn and develop at a pace that’s natural and comfortable for you!

I used to learn the basics(notes,simple chords etc) on accoustic in elementary,im 20 now and i can’t remember much..anywho,does anyone have any good tips for someone who wants to start out on learning again? like what i should start learning first? i feel like i should’ve of started taking classes before i turned 15 so i could have mastered the guitar right now :\

please and thanks

ps:extra question:is guitar classes necessary or learning on my own ?

I just started taking lessons not long ago, it is a pretty big music school and there is many people a lot older learning and some quite good. I would recommend taking lessons. I self taught myself for a couple weeks before lessons and right away my teacher was telling me bad habits I had and why I should fix them. I figure I will take lessons until I get to know what I am doing well and then see if I want to continue or not.

Scales and chords and finger speed are what I think is the basics which everything builds of off.

I’m left handed and held a guitar 1st like a lefty. I forced myself to learn guitar right handed and now I’m wondering should I change Guitar Playing like a lefty?

Hello there,

It depends on why you would want to change. Is there a reason you need to change? If so, change. If not, why bother.

I can play either way. Even though I have done that for 40 years, it can be confusing to switch back and force.

There was a time when I hurt my left hand and could not play for over a year. When I started playing again, I played mostly left handed until my right hand finally healed enough. Then I switched back to playing right handed.

For me, I can do more with my left hand than my right, that works better for fingering the guitar. I play almost entirely right handed any more. I can play left handed and did to show a nephew who was left handed how to start playing. Other than that, I find no reason to play guitar left handed.

However, I should add that I always play the bass left handed.

Later,
