How long should I take guitar lessons for?
Question by Maria: How long should I take guitar lessons for?
How long should I take guitar lessons until I can advance online and with books by myself? Just enough so I can play decently and self-teach myself.
*I’ll probably start with the acoustic guitar.
How long in days, weeks, months, years thing.

this answer is coming from a guy who is self taught at the guitar. i picked it up about four years ago, and have been loving it ever since. but i wish that i would have taken lessons. i’m pretty sure that i’m doing several things wrong, and i don’t really know basic music theory. i do it all from memory and figuring stuff out by ear. i would say to take lessons until you know basic strumming patterns, and have a good idea of music theory, and you can play some basic scales. afterwards, it wouldn’t hurt to take a lesson every once in a while, just to make sure you’re on the right path. everything i know, i figured it out by myself. and i’m an ok guitar player.
