As a counterpoint to the two previous posts I was playing songs, at least a resemblance of a song, at 3 months. I’m now 9 months in and can play a dozen or so songs and feel like I at least know what I’m doing with the guitar. Everyone is different and everyone learns at there own pace. But it does take time.
I tried guitar 18 months ago and quit after 6 weeks because my ability did not meet my expectations. I restarted last June with the realization that I’m going to suck at guitar, and I’m going to suck for a long time. That lowering of expectations as served me well, although I still have to remind myself periodically that I’m still a long way away from being a decent guitar player and that I’m OK with that.
