Hi @saybaw273gmail-com , welcome to TAC. I have to kinda echo Lorain’s comment that guitar is not easy. That being said there is a hard way and an easy way to learn. I know, I tried both. Here at TAC I found the easy way. By having fun everytime I picked up the guitar I stayed motivated and engaged all the while picking up the kinesthetic awareness, and strength necessary to make the guitar do what I wanted it to do. To get to your question? how long to play a song correctly. As long as it takes. Your time and my time to learn the same song will likely differ and if we compare it to the prodigy kid down the street who can play a song after hearing it once it may not serve our interests at making progress. My progress today is joyful progress, it never happens fast enough and yet it is alway happening. I have a great time so I don’t really sweat it. When I was solely focused on the time and not the joy of the process my progress was hard and slower and in many instances unpleasant. What I learned is when I put effort as my priority and not the results, my progress happened faster and my experience became wholly more satisfying.
