How often should a beginner practice guitar?
A beginner should practice a minimum of 15 minutes up to an hour a day. Practicing the guitar every day will help build muscle memory, develop the habit and reduce frustration from slow progress.
How many days a week should I practice guitar?
No Need to Play All Day! Practice the Right Amount Consistently
| Goal | Time Practicing Every Day | How Long Before Reaching Your Guitar Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Teach Basic Guitar | 1 Hour | Being able to teach confidently will take 6-8 months |
| Play in a Band | 1-2 Hours | 2-3 years |
| Master the Guitar | 3-4 Hours | 10-15 years |
What makes a good guitar practice routine?
A good guitar practice routine will focus on the skills and techniques you need to learn to achieve your goals. It will push you forward and make sure you work on the things you need to learn. This might sound obvious when you read it, but it's something so many guitarists never plan for.
