Walt: Ustream, YouTube, do not forget to join in and the special guess Rob Blob who is also well on twitter, Ustream and has its own website and stuff too. We put that in an individual description and so you check it out. Let us get to this question we have a question from ustreamer-32176 “How much does he stink?”
He says right here below, by the way guys this is the live chat. Okay this question is “how long is it going to take for him to get good at guitar when he first started out?” That is a very good subjective question in a sense because if you are practicing three hours a day clearly you are going to get better than if you are practicing ten minutes a day.
Rob: That is absolutely true.
Walt: But that is also a good question too because if I am practicing for a salad 15 minutes that is better than the pricing for a loose three hours.
Rob: Right
Walt: Where my mind is going and going everywhere. So, as you get out of here what would you put into it and how long it take I always say the rule thumb is about three months and it is like rule of the thumb.
Rob: My question to you is that good or is that good enough?
Walt: Well, what is the level of good I mean good is a very
Rob: Subjective
Walt: Subjective words I mean good like Van Halen good? You want some seats
Rob: No I am good
Male1: Okay oh that is a subjective good
Rob: And that is an objective whatever the other words whatever the other word is.
Male1: I was just confused
Rob: subjective and objective. That is a grammar rule.
Male1: Oh dude before anything what is up. I would say how long until you get good at it.
Rob: It is so on your own mind as well, you know I do not think that I am good at guitar but other people have the impression that I am good at guitar
Walt: Right, myself including
Rob: So if you would like it so are you good at guitar?
Walt: I am okay.
Rob: Right, even Walt does not think that he is good with guitar and so it is all subjective at this point.
Walt: If I want to get really good at one thing in my entire life it would be piano. It kills me everyday.
Rob: I agree piano absolutely
Walt: Piano is the one thing that I would had nail by the time that I am 26.
Rob: It would be mileage?
Walt: Yes so I have two years to rock this instrument out cold and all the production work and the studio stuff I am especially not in a day but this I will get that keyboard
Rob: That is good with that.
Walt: Yes that is the keyboard that I am going to add. So that the idea is that if you take me about three months later how do you feel it right. Playing your first kind of chords have a good time playing with your friends clearly you will not be ripping it but then again if you were ripping the guitar within three months then it would be fun.
Rob: Friends it is time to move on to the next instrument.
Walt: Right part of the fun of guitars is it takes you more than three months to learn but then three months you can definitely walk. You are like in the sprinting.
Rob: Yes absolutely, you can play a few AC/DC songs in three months.
Walt: You know you can hang with the big boys and we are big boys here.
Rob: Or big girls too.
Walt: Oh Kathleen, I love Kathleen, Kathleen is my newest friend on twitter. That is what I am telling, killing all right you are killing on it?
Rob: A year
Walt: I would say further than that.
Rob: Two? I mean it depends, if you are putting in the same amount of time it is necessary to be good in three months in to a year, if you can keep that going I will say you can make good in a year but if you are going to slowly if you are productivity on that is going to get slowly get less overtime you surely need it is going to need it is not going to take you longer than a year.
Walt: I mean clearly like I had a different road by most people I mean I did not start playing till I was 16 when I am 17 I started teaching professionally in private lessons. When I was 18 I went to school for it, and so that where going to when you are going to school when you start keeping privately it creates a whole new level of exponenti
