Acoustic Guitar Lessons: “How Should I Practice
Lately I have been getting this question from students a lot especially on their first acoustic guitar lesson. “How long should I practice?”
In my opinion the answer is very personal and it all depends and what you want to achieve with your playing. Guitar can be a very easy instrument to learn but an extremely difficult one to “Master”.
So if you want to master the guitar then you would need ten thousands hours at least and you can stop reading this article now and go back to practicing.
If you are amongst the many people that want to learn for their personal enjoyment and to have a good time with their friends things are different. I believe that in just 48 hours you can learn the basics that will enable you to do exactly that. When I say 48 hours I mean a 48 hours of dedicated and focused practice, and no just goofing around jamming a few chords the wrong way. You should have a proper acoustic guitar lesson or instructions and have a good practice routine. I suggest a minimum of 30 minutes a day 6 days a week and in just 4 months you should be able to achieve your goal.
You’ll be able to play a load of easy guitar songs, learned loads of chords and strumming patters along with some basic theory and a bunch of other good stuff.
A little bit every day is way better that a lot every blue moon. That’s how humans learn just about anything really, by repeating the same exercises everyday till we get them right, and in the long run developing muscle memory. Eventually all the chords & rhythms will became second nature.
It sounds too easy? Well don’t get fooled it work! Just make sure you follow a good guitar tutorials.
