learning guitar Options

[iSsUeS636]

i've had a guitar for a while now. never use it though. i tried when i first got it but didn't have enough time so i just gave up. i just got it out again today, cause now i really wanna learn. what's a good amount of time per day i'd have to put into practicing to get even decent? between, school, work, my girl, i barely have any time to even work out anymore, i have to skip it alot. so now i wanna try to work around my schedule for guitar. what's a good amount? any ideas?

I practice when I feel like it. Usually that means about an hour every day per instrument, but basically it's up to you. The biggest thing about practicing when it comes to music is that you go at your own pace, no matter what. You could learn and perfect one or two things every day and you'd still be making progress, so even if you've only got about a half hour every day, you're still getting somewhere.

Lessons are really helpful, though. The person who's teaching you can really speed up the process by telling you what to focus on while you're practicing. You'll probably enjoy practicing more, too.
