Question: Im struggling with guitar, playing for about 3 months, im grade 6 accordion which is a v hard instrument!.!?
Hey!. Ive been playing guitar for about 3 months now and I haven't improved very much!. I dont really practice as much as I should, but I always fit in at least 10 minutes a day!.

I started playing with an acoustic, and bought an electric a few weeks after!.

Im just wondering if it should take this long to improve lol!.
its not that I'm lacking musical talent because im a grade 6 accordionist, I passed my grade 6 exam a few weeks ago with a distinction and it took very little effort!. and playing accordion would seem alot harder than guitar seeing as there are alot more things to have to do!.

Is guitar just alot harder than most instruments!? and if I up my practice time to 30 mins a day how long will it be before I can actually play something, rofl ^^
at the moment the most i can do is play a few chords!. I've learnt the intro to back in black by AC/DC and I can almost play it flawlessly!. still it seems im taking over 15 times longer to improve guitar than it took me with accordionWww@QuestionHome@Com

Be patient!. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and sometimes it feels like long periods (months) will go by without improving!. The beginning- where you are- is the hardest to get over!. You need to strengthen your fingers, learn chords, scales, and songs!. 10 minutes a day is fine!. 30 is fine, too!. It's not how long you practice that's important!. It's how you use the time while you practice!. Are you trying to teach yourself something new each time you sit down!? Are you working on playing something you're working on already better than before!? Are you having fun!? These are the things that really matter!. Improving at anything takes a lot of time!. We live in a society that expects everything to happen immediately: turn on tv and the shows are on, go to a fast food restaurant for an immediate meal, look something up on the internet and get quick answers instead of researching in a library!. It is easy to get impatient, but it's great to take your time with some things, enjoy them, and you'll be playing well before you know it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is not hard if you continue practicing and just playing the guitar!. 30 mins a day is not bad!. i also started playing the guitar 30 mins a day!. but, gradually you should increase the practicing or guitar-playing time!. after a week, you can already play 3-6 songs or even higher, depends on your passion and drive!.
