One of the questions that the majority of beginners I work with ask is “How long does it take to form guitar calluses?”

It’s a worthy question, considering that their new hobby is just starting, and they want to make sure it isn’t always painful.

The good news is that everyone will develop guitar calluses within two weeks of starting to play guitar. This is assuming you put in regular practice, and it’s my belief that five minutes a day is the perfect amount.

Good luck!
