As long as you can sit upright comfortably after the surgery you should be OK
If you practice at least 30 minutes a day for 4 months you'll be amazed at the progress |

Yeah, you should be able to get quite a bit down in four months. Just keep at it. And remember, don't get frustrated and force things. Build your muscle memory, go slow at first, and gradually build from there.

When you can crush a lit cigarette on the tips of your fingers you will know your practice routine is where it needs to be.

Build your muscle memory, go slow at first, and gradually build from there. This. I've been at it for just under two months. I practice an hour to an hour and a half per night and have noticed improvement. Not getting frustrated is very important. I have very little patience and want to improve immediately. When that happens I get frustrated and my practice sessions go backwards instead of forwards. Check out http://www.justinguitar.com |

30 years ago I went from never playing to a pretty good rendition of Crazy Train in just a couple of months.
You just have to be willing to spend the time on it. |

Find a song you want to learn and stick with it. It might sound great when you play it but then you go listen to the song and its off. I listen to the song dozens of times so I can play it perfect. I have discovered that after you can read tab good, its all about muscle memory. If you are picky on what "perfect" sounds like to you then you will play well. That probably didnt make any sense but I gave it a shot.

Make sure you get something decent that stays in tune. And learn how to tune.
Nothing will discourage a beginner faster than a guitar that doesn't stay in tune. Being a beginner, they don't realize the guitar is 'out of tune' and they blame themselves for not sounding like anything and give up. |
