Re: How Long?

I've only been playing a couple of years.I've learned alot of scales and chords,I started just to solo off of scales and than I went to playing tab which I didn't like that much.Now Iam playing chords and riffing and so far that seems the most satisfying so far.Would you guys say that after two years this is a pretty normal path I have taken?I wonder what is going to make me better?Just playing,learning new things or just discovering things naturally by spending alot of time on the fret board?Thanks!

Re: How Long?

I am 18 years old and I have been playing guitar and bass since I was 11 (in other words, 7 years). Finally got a Jem to play with.

Edit: there is no 6-9 on the poll.

Re: How Long?

I guess I am the first of the OLD Guys to take the poll. I started in 1983, the glory days of metal.

Re: How Long?

Started playing classical guitar at 6 3/4, right when I started first grade, so I guess I have been playing for 16 years!!

Re: How Long?

Nearly 2 years now. I'm now venturing into Jazz. Now I've got to find someone who actually teaches Jazz guitar, since my current teacher doesn't.

Re: How Long?

Oh God I hate this question. Overall from the time I first picked up a guitar until now it'd be about 12 years. But that was stopping and starting until about a year and a half ago and I had a huge 3-4 year gap in between where I got side tracked and didn't play, so in terms of learning the instrument it's more like 3 years, lol. I can enjoy it now much more because there is no pressure to be "good" (I know thats pathetic but too many people thought I was going to be the next Hendrix and it made me struggle to provide the goods so I eventually had enough, teenage pressures! lol)

But yeah, if I'm to be truthful it's somewhere around the 12-year mark.
