Alex asked:
i started playing electric guitar 5-6 months ago. right now i practice about 2 hrs a day every day. ive been told im improving very fast. within 3 months i could play the first half to sweet child of mine by guns n roses as well as wish you were here (pink floyd), knights of cydonia (muse) (solo included, but this is the only solo i know how to play), stairway to heaven intro, and a few other easier songs. my finger strength and dexterity is aslo very good so far. i do various finger exercises especially for my pinky. the only thing i really need to improve alot on is reading music and stuff
anyway my question is i want to know how much i could learn/improve if i practice 6 hrs a day for thhe next 2 months??? enough to solo maybe?? i only ask b/c i will be starting college in 2 months and i know once i start school, i wont have nearly as much time to practice. so i want to learn as much as i can now while i still have alot of time to practice.

I know this doesn’t really answer your question, but in college you have a ton a free time.

like jerry coker, the great jazz educator, wrote, spend every available minute practicing. Every minute you practice is a minute that you would have NOT played if you had not picked up your axe and practiced. Over time, the minutes of playing add up, and therefore, you want to have the mindset that you will practice AT LEAST 30 minutes every day, and more if you are serious about it.
