Daily practice is most effective, and adult students should allow 45 minutes or more each day to practice (less for children depending on age). In order to develop familiarity and comfort with the guitar and with specific songs, careful practice together with frequent repetition is necessary. Moderate amounts of daily practice are much more effective than long practice sessions followed by days off. For example, if a student can allot 6 hours per week to practice, 1 hour per day for 6 days (with one day off) will give far better results than 3 two-hour sessions during the week without practice on days in between. For a deeper dive into how, and how much to practice, please read my articles below.
