How long did it take for you to learn the guitar?

Question

Acoustic and Electric?

Answer 1

It took me about three months of constant practice and research before I was playing decent Country, Rock, and Blues. I had gone beyond the capabilities of the fellow showing me the 11 chords that got me started.

I will be celebrating my 52nd year of playing the 16th of this month (August).

I waited four years before moving to the electric guitar--partly because I had just enlisted in the U.S. Army and had to remain mobile.

Answer 2

dude i have bean playing for 35 years i havve bean in a lot of bands and gig allot but i am still learning . one you start learning the guitar you never stop  

Answer 3

I didn't take me long at least six sessions of lessons and i knew all the basic notes and accidentals were simple but chords you have to work on for a bit and that just depends on how much practice you do.

Answer 4

I play both...and to get at least to intermediate level took me a good year or so. There's just so much stuff to learn.

Answer 5

Well, I've been playing since I was seven or eight, and I'm 28 now, and still learning new things all the time, still developing skills through practice, and still looking up to people who know more about it than I.  In all seriousness, you can expect to be able to play a few simple things within a few weeks.  But it takes a lifetime to learn the whole guitar.  

Maybe even two.
