I gather you are both on Guitar Fundamentals 1, follow each lesson and practice what you have just learned until you can play the lesson fairly well. This may take more than a few days in the beginning. 60 minutes every day is excellent to start with. Some times things can get hectic in life and you may only be able to do 30 or 15 minutes, that is fine. The idea is to have the guitar in your hands every day. Learn easy songs to reinforce what you have learned. Remember everyone started out the same, you get what you put into it. You don't have to master each lesson, push yourselfs to go on to the next lesson, when you go back to review what you thought was hard you will find it easy. That is when you know you are learning and getting better. Lastly don't think about how long before you get good, just learn one lesson at a time and the "good" will come.
