How long does it take to become a live performer?

The amount of time it takes to become a live performer as a guitarist and singer can vary depending on several factors such as individual talent, dedication, practice, and opportunities available.

There is no specific timeline for this, every individual is different.

Some individuals might have a natural talent for music and might be able to become a live performer in a relatively short amount of time. Others might need to spend several years honing their skills through practice and dedication (like myself!) before they are ready to perform in front of an audience.

In general, to become a proficient guitarist and singer, it is recommended that you practice for at least several hours a day consistently over an extended period of time. However, the amount of time it takes to become a live performer can also depend on the specific style of music that you want to perform and the type of venues or gigs that you're interested in pursuing.

Once you have developed your skills and feel comfortable performing, you can start looking for opportunities to showcase your talent in public. This might involve performing at local open mic nights, coffee shops, or other small venues. As you gain more experience and exposure, you can work your way up to larger venues and events.

Ultimately, becoming a successful live performer as a guitarist and singer requires a combination of talent, dedication, hard work, and persistence. By continuously practicing and seeking out opportunities to perform, you can increase your chances of becoming a successful live performer.
