How long does it usually take to master the basic skills of playing an acoustic guitar?

Question by Horse Gal: How long does it usually take to master the basic skills of playing an acoustic guitar?
I have probably never even picked up a guitar in my life much less any other instrument but am interested in taking guitar lessons. How long does it usually take to learn most of the basic skills required to play an acoustic guitar? What are the biggest challenges a guitar teacher faces when teaching someone like me, with absolutely no experience? Thanks!

Everyone learns at a different pace,but with a good teacher and a lot of practice you should be able to play a few simple songs in a few weeks.
As for the teacher,most of their students start with no exerience so that won’t be a problem.
Remember the key is pracitce the more you play the better you get.
Good luck and enjoy the music
