![]() ![]() After which I was generally proficient, but know where near expertise. I practised for 3 - 4 hours a day, for over 3 years. So, good news, you're 0.3% there!įor guitar, metal guitar, I only have a sample size of 1 of course. Malcom Gladwell's 10,000 hours to become an expert is a well known, albeit overly generalized guideline. I think you very much underestimated the time involved.ħ0 days? Maximally 70 hours? But some days are very short, so 40 hours? But not every day, so 30 hours? But in reality, you're probably where you would be if you started out in your early teens, it's just that you would more readily accept that it takes time back when you had the time to spare. Not only do they have other things demanding their attention (jobs, families, etc.), which can rob them of dedicated playing time, but the progress is so universally slow that they can acquire the same feelings you're experiencing of not seeing the progress they would like to see for the amount of time invested. It's why guitarists late to the game (learning to play in their 20's or older) feel like they're hitting an insurmountable wall and like they missed their opportunity to learn because they didn't start sooner. It's one of those things where the more time you invest, the easier it becomes, but it demands a lot of time in the beginning to really nail it. ![]() I'd say what takes a guitarist at the journeyman level (1-2 years into playing) only 2 months to learn will take a novice 6+ months. That's going to be a combination of established music theory and muscle memory, which will make certain things easier to learn and play. It's a steep learning curve in the beginning, but eventually you'll start to taper off and what you can learn in those two months will be more productive at a later stage than when you're just starting out.
