How long to most people take lessons?

I get asked this question a lot! It really varies depending on a students needs and situation. I have had students take for as long as 6 to 8 years and beyond, and I've had students that could only take one or two years.

It's like any thing else, the more time you can put into it and continue your lessons the more you will get out of it.
How long does it take for most people to grasp the basic's and play simple songs.

(See answer above. Just kidding).

It really does vary depending on a students schedule, ability, former training, practice time etc.
I can tell you that most people with moderate practice time can begin to play simple chord progression's and easy songs anywhere from 3 to 6 months.
What are the Student and Admin  pages about and why can't I access them ?

These pages provide tracks for students to download and play along with plus scale and chord charts. They are password protected and once you sign  up for lessons you will be issued a password to allow you access to certain  pages. This is done at my discretion.

They come in a variety of styles including  Rock - Blues - Jazz - Ballads etc. These tracks are of a high quality and come with PDF files showing the chord charts and suggested scales to use.
How long have you been playing guitar and teaching?
I have been playing professionally for 37 years and teaching for 27.
