A short YouTube clip by Lauren Bateman advising beginner guitarists to practice 15 minutes daily, splitting time into three five-minute segments: strumming and rhythm; chords and chord changes; and finger dexterity/picking. The video also directs viewers to a free Guitar Crash course at laurenbateman.com.
Practicing the guitar does not need to take hours. Oftentimes, I recommend to my beginner guitar students, try for 15 minutes. Why 15 minutes? Because you can practice the three fundamentals of guitar for five minutes each. That's strumming and rhythm, chords and chord changes, and finger dexterity and picking exercises. Now, if you're looking for a structured way to get started with the guitar, then I highly recommend that you check out my free Guitar Crash course.
