The key to practicing guitar isn’t length but consistency. Play for short periods of time no more than 20 minutes a day as a beginner. Make sure to play every day for at least 5 days out of the week to stay consistent. I recommend not starting out with long practice sessions, but if you chose to, be sure to take a break every 20 minutes.

It's not necessary to know how to read music before taking guitar lessons, but it can be helpful. We will teach you how to read tabs as part of your lesson plan.

Playing the guitar and learning a song successfully isn’t about talent, it’s about effort. The time it takes to learn your first song is different for everyone and is dependent on how much effort you put in. If you put in the necessary effort and devote yourself learning a basic song, you might be playing it in about a week.

During a beginner guitar lesson, we will teach you the basics of guitar playing, including how to hold the guitar, how to strum chords, and how to play simple melodies. You can expect to learn at a pace that's comfortable for you.

A lighter pick will produce a clearer and thinner tone while a heavy pick will produce a mellow tone. Depending on the type of music you want to play, different picks can be more useful. For a beginner guitarist who will most likely be strumming chords, a lighter pick would fit better to make each chord sound clearer.

Learning the guitar comes with a ton of benefits. The guitar can improve your memory, improve problem solving, increase coordination, make you more creative, and can really increase your confidence and self-esteem. Lastly, learning the guitar is also a lot of fun and learning to play your favorite songs is amazing.

The earlier you start the better. Experts recommend starting as early as age 7 but believe you are never too old for the guitar.

Learning the guitar is very good for your brain in that it improves your memory drastically. As you get old memory will fade slower. This is because of all the memorizing chords and notes. https://www.guyguitarlessons.com/post/is-playing-guitar-good-for-your-brain

You do not necessarily need to purchase a guitar before your first lesson. Many instructors have guitars available for their students to use during the lesson. However, it is generally recommended that you have your own guitar to practice on between lessons.

In terms of physical health, standing up while playing the guitar is healthier. It puts less strain on your back as you aren’t hunched over the instrument to see the chords and strings. Both sitting and standing require different body mechanics. Playing standing may feel weird at first but getting used to it and learning the mechanics is worth it, so you don’t hurt your back. Neither sitting nor standing will affect the quality of your play.

Both genetics and everyday experiences contribute to musical talent. Scientists discovered that some musical talent is inherited, and it favors people who have the “ear” for music. However, they can agree that most of learning an instrument comes from practice and devotion.

The amount of time it takes to learn guitar will vary depending on your natural aptitude, how much time you are able to dedicate to practice, and your learning style. Some people may be able to pick up the basics relatively quickly, while others may take longer to progress.
