How Long Should It Take An Adult To Learn To Play A Musical Instrument?

i may have mentioned this earlier, but the sooner you learn powerchords the better off you'll be.

I've had the similar idea, but I've honestly never been able to put a lot of actual time into building a talent or skill.

 

I really wish I could do that simple corny stuff that a ton of white guys can do, because I can actually sing well and I think that'd be a real lady killer ;)

 

But like I said, putting in the time and effort into learning it just doesn't seem overly plausible right now.

 

Good luck with your endeavors though, man. I'm sure if you're serious about it, it'll seem like no time.

Yeah, I keep trying to peek ahead in these lessons to the powerchords.

Right now, I'm still working on the first three main chords (A, D, E) and just trying to get accustomed to switching between them.

As I said in the Weezer thread though, I am ready to get straight to some Pinkerton, lol...

Baby steps though... baby steps...

SIOS, invest in it man... if you've thought about doing it, then do it. The sooner you start, the further ahead you'll be. I wasted years making excuses, and you definitely do have the time. From everyone I've talked to and everything I've read recently, all you need is about 30 mins a day practicing man, and it will just start coming to you. As with anything, practice makes perfect.
