So... Roots, 5ths, Octaves, Arpeggios and Scales. Man, that's going to take awhile to get together... Anybody know what kind of time-frame this takes the average student to master? Please post a reply to me here if you know!

@jippie11261 MASTER? that's a strong word, dude. I'd say 15 years if you stay at it everyday. But to get a good grasp of the concepts and put them to use could take you as little as a year or two

@jippie11261 I remember reading somewhere that it takes about 10,000 hours of practice to be considered a master at anything, whether it be blacksmithing, plumbing, or bass guitar playing. That being said, it probably won't take you 10,000 to get a good grasp of roots, fifths, etc. I would expect maybe 10-25 to get a basic understanding of it.

@jippie11261: There was a survey conducted by Guitar Player magazine where they asked a thousand guitarists one question: Was learning how to play as hard as you thought it would be. The overwhelming majority answered no.

I once heard a radio interview with Pete Townshend. A caller asked him what advice he could give someone looking to start playing. He said "Buy a guitar and lock yourself in a room for two years."
