How long does it really take to get good at guitar

Just my thoughts on this question.

To me it's like " how long is a piece of string "

I think you've gotta ask yourself what you actually want to do/learn.

My journey thus far is slow going but already mentioned about the Anders quote

" Make sure you have fun"

I wanted to learn lead guitar when I 1st joined this site, although thats still a goal of mine , I've since learned a ton of songs that I can play all the way through with chords.

Unless you have unlimited time each day, you have to have a practice routine of what you want to concentrate on.

Sorry for long post

10,000 hours.

The 10,000 hour rule, was popularized by Malcolm Gladwell’s blockbuster book “Outliers.” As Gladwell tells it, the rule goes like this: it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery of complex skills and materials, like playing the guitar.

Gladwell describes one central study in particular, about which he writes: “their research suggests that once a musician has enough ability (talent) to get into a top music school, the thing that distinguishes one performer from another is how hard he or she works. That’s it.”

More research was then done which adds complexity to the rule. i.e. Practice is important, but what to focus on will accelerate improvement. In other words having a good course or teacher to direct your practice.

Or you can learn 5 chords in a week and then play thousands of songs and be happy.

Perhaps the most important consideration... have fun.

I've been playing for decades, on and off, and still can't shred.
