Electric guitar...

Bought a electric guitar...
Gets here Wednesday...
I need something to keep my brain busy..
Overnight sensation... NO...
Next Eddy Han Halen... NO...
From what I can research on the internet if I was to play it a half hour a day it would probably take 3 months just to be able to be at beginner level and then intermediate level would probably be somewhere in the one year to two years..
And to be pretty good with it probably looking at 4 years. And expert probably a lot longer than that...
And all of that is probably playing at least a half hour every single day...
Generally I'm a fast learner and I don't tend to have a lot of give up in me so I'm seeing where these two immovable forces will take me..
Anyways I'd like to give it a try which is more than I've done in the past...
I'm wondering if anybody else has went down this road and how far they got?...

Cool. I've been playing since the mid 80s, played for 2 signed bands, wrote and performed my own music (and lyrics) much of what is a prediction, or warning of current events. Also was givin air time on 98 Rock( biggest Station) here in Tampa Bay. I still am learning. If you want to get really good , practice alot. And develop appropriate appreciation for other music that ain't yer favorite. If you like country, learn a lil Bluegrass ,if you are a raging Metal Head, dig some classical, If yer a bluesman, maybe jazz. But it does help to learn the basics first. But if you like pop,learn your 3 chord money riffs.. if you like rap and hip-hop,well, maybe learn Rave / dance elements? Who lnows
