How Long Does It Take to Learn Lead Guitar with Lessons?
What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
She’s got a pretty good grasp of music skill and is pretty dedicated. She got up to the level of being able to play at a school concert on bass with lessons in about 5 months (I think). How long do you think it will take her to be a good lead guitar player? What tips can you give me to encourage/improve her guitar skills?
Cheers in advance. XD
If that is the case, do you guys think it would be better to find a guitarist who’s a bit more competent? I’d hate to do that to my friend but if it will take that long; it might be better to get a different guitarist? The only thing is we’d prefer a Christian guitarist (because we’re a Christian band) but they seem very rare in London!
Lol we switched. Now I’m learning lead and she’s progressing on bass (we both played bass). So you’re tips were majorly helpful! I’m getting lessons at my school with the music teacher and he said today at the first lesson I have the potential to be really good because I already know music theory and he said I’m good at bass so knowing my way around some kind of guitar will help me progress. Cheers. XD
but if you start out learning all of your scales, keys, chord progressions, and techniques it won’t take so long.
it may get overwhelming but don’t give up.
Guitar takes a very long time to learn, and if you’re making up your own riffs, then its harder.
5months isn’t long enough. I think about 3 years at the least to be a good guitar player.
I’ve been playing a year, and I’m not really amazing, and I pick things up quite quickly.
You can’t really give tips. Just practise lots and lots. That’s the only way.
it all depends if the teacher teaches right… dont be a regurgitator…most teacher teach students songs..and nothing behind the songs..like scales..modes..counterpoints..intervals. and chord inversions
hi i think it all depends on the person bass is a bit easier to play but different technique, a lot can depend on how much practice you put in but if you know a Friend who happens to be a good player and you can get lessons or have a jam with them this can help im afraid there isn’t any real short-cuts just practice, but a good dvd could help get a bit further. good luck
