Welcome to the Beginner Guitar Academy podcast, where we explore effective strategies for mastering the guitar.

In today's episode, we delve into the 100-hour rule, a simple yet powerful concept that can revolutionize your guitar learning journey.

Host Paul Andrews breaks down the math, explaining how dedicating just 17 minutes a day to practice can lead to 100 hours of practice over a year.

He emphasizes the importance of consistency, and regular practice, and how they build muscle memory, mental engagement, motivation, and momentum.

Paul also shares practical tips for integrating the 100-hour rule into your busy life and highlights the inspiring progress of a BGA member who achieved a 300-day practice streak.

Join us as we uncover the transformative potential of the 100-hour rule and its impact on your guitar skills.
