Can I teach myself guitar or ukulele?

How long does it take to learn guitar or ukulele?

It depends on your goals and practice habits. Most students start playing simple songs in the first few months. With consistent lessons and weekly practice, you can make great progress within a year.

What’s the best age to start guitar or ukulele lessons?

Ukulele is great for ages 5+, and guitar typically works best for ages 7+. That said, readiness matters more than age. If a child can focus, follow instructions, and show interest, they’re ready to begin.

Should I learn acoustic before electric guitar?

Not necessarily. Electric guitars are often easier to press down and great for beginners. If you love the sound of acoustic, start there. The best choice is the one that keeps you excited to play.

What kind of guitar should I buy as a beginner?

A comfortable, properly sized instrument makes a big difference. For younger kids, a ¾ size or mini guitar works well. For teens and adults, a full-size acoustic or electric guitar from a trusted brand like Yamaha, Squier, or Fender is a solid start. I’m happy to give personalized advice before you buy!

How often should I practice guitar or ukulele?

Consistency matters more than long practice sessions. Even 10–15 minutes a day can lead to real progress. Regular practice builds muscle memory and helps you stay connected to what you’re learning in lessons.
