Are you still a beginner at the guitar if you've been playing for over half a year?

i'm still a beginner, and i've been playing for 15 years. but that's just how i feel... pick a benchmark song you'd like to know how to play, and when you can play that, you won't be a beginner anymore!





mine's ';Never Going Back Again,'; by Fleetwood Mac.Are you still a beginner at the guitar if you've been playing for over half a year?
Is there a measure or time limit that define when a guitar player ';graduates'; from beginner to either intermediate or advance?


I have never heard of one.


Most professional musicians that I know or


heard-about ,never think that they have reached a point where there is no more for them to learn about their instruments.


I started classical guitar 2 1/2 years ago and


I consider myself (if I must choose a label)


a beginner even when I now can ';decently'; perform about 50% of the music in books for ';intermediate'; players.


Performing music is an art with a never ending road.





The great guitarist Andres Segovia (RIP) practiced for hours every day including scales. He never felt he has reached the end in learning the guitar.





Your goal is to seek inprovement in your skills not to worry about classifications or


';passing'; from the beginner stage as player.





As your skills improve with your practice and desire you will find more satisfaction in your playing.That's what is all about.





Enjoying yourself and little by little you will even surprise yourself about how much you have accomplish since you started.





Good Luck and EnjoyAre you still a beginner at the guitar if you've been playing for over half a year?
It all depends on the Grade you're on. If you want to know the level of playing you're at try getting some ';Rock School'; books if you play electric guitar (grades 1 - 8). I play classical guitar at Uni now and there's a variety of books to choose from for Classical guitar: LCM, Trinity, ABRSM etc. (all grades 1 - 8). These will really help you improve playing and allow you to identify what level of playing you're at.





Good luck and have fun playing - it's the most important part!
Truthfully, you SHOULDN'T be a beginner at 6 months if we're talking about constant practice. But if you don't put in the time, you won't be comfortable considering yourself a being past beginner skills. If you're the one learning guitar, what I can suggest is just keep at it, and listen to as much variety of songs as you can. Good luck!
Beginner is the level of music you're playing, not the amount of time you've logged. If you are able to play intermediate-level music, then no, you're not a beginner.
From what I have seen with some of the students who want me to teach them how to play the guitar... you probably couldn't pass my audition for prospective students... so I would class you as a beginner at only 6 months.
Depends how good you are


go to a musical shop


and get a level 2, 3 and 4 guitar booklet if you can play all of them you are not a begginer :D

It really all depends on how proficient you are. Guitar legend Ritchie Blackmore was a virtuoso after about a year or two.
no not really , providing you have advanced in playing , from first starting but just keep practicing
