Question: How long does it take to learn to play the guitar!?
I know it depends on how much time you practise etc!. I have just started having guitar lessons; I understand tab and know what the different strings are and am learning a few chords!. However, I am gettting a bit confused in the group lessons as the teacher is giving us more information than I think we need at this stage (pentatonic scales in week 4 for example)!. I think I need to be regrounded and wondered if I practice a few chords regularly for half an hour a day, how long would it take me to be able to get a grip of it all!?

Any other help would be most valued - I have found guitar tab websites but would be interested in any other free recommended ' teach yourself websites!.'

I think you did the right thing by taking lessons!. We all get frustrated!.
Learning an instrument should be fun, but it isn't 100% of the time!. Stay away from the web sites for another month or two!. Web is great extra material after you have the basics and are feeling comfortable!.
Remember that the teacher has a lot more experience than you do!. For you to decide what and when something is taught is best saved for much later!.
Stick with it!.

Anyone can learn the basics in a short amount of time!. However, to go beyond the basics, takes years of experience!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
