9 years or so... I started really young and have had different spurts in which I really "grow"...all the rest of the time I just try to polish what I have so far...all by ear, but I think I want to get some real theory under my belt...

About 10 years. I took 3 years off at one point to have a kid and get married. I started playing frequently again about 2 years ago after I found this site :wink:

Six months. Thinking about throwing up a cover. How does watchtower sound.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then give up. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

1.5 years and I still completely suck. During that time there were week long breaks, times I did play were not long. This semester I really tried to give it a lot of time but have been busy too. :( So all together I would say a consistent 6 months. :) One of these days I might be good.

i can do those too, but i can also pull off satellite, working on R&R, DIDO, and some of those other fun things. its funny, theres this one kid i was talking to tonight whose been playing a bit over a year and i told him about playing satellite on my 12 string and hes like 'oh man youre so fricken awesome...' - i constantly practice. no lessons whatsoever. in fact im going to be giving lessons soon. nothin special, chords, strumming, maybe some fingerpicking, etc.. good stuff
