How long will it take to learn guitar?

Q. I am an accomplished pianist (playing and taking lessons for 12 years). I've taught myself cello but haven't gotten over the beginner level for the last six years. I sing a lot, especially while I play piano. I know my notes and piano chords and advanced music theory.

I don't have a lot of time on my hands but I'm wondering if I could learn how to play and sing one song in four months.

Also, can I start on a half-size toy guitar?

A. Could you learn to play and sing one song in 4 months? Possibly. Depends on the difficulty of the song and on your own musical aptitude, manual dexterity, and willingness to work at it.

You say you've taught yourself cello, but "haven't gotten over the beginner level for the last six years", that doesn't bode well for your ability to teach yourself guitar quickly, however, especially if you don't have a lot of time to practice.

Can you start on a half-size toy guitar? If that's all you've got, I guess you can. It will undoubtedly sound like crap and probably be impossible to get or keep in tune, but if you don't care about that I guess you can manage. I know guys with big beefy hands who play mandolin and fiddle beautifully -- if they can get around on those itty-bitty little fingerboards with speed and accuracy with their thick fingers, you should be able to manage the fretboard on a half-size guitar.

Original Question

Is it ok for me to master the piano using piano chords instead of the notes?
Q. im having a difficult time playing the piano by notes and i think its easier to use piano chords, what do you think?

A. I have known amazing piano players who can't read music. Or think about pianists such as Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles! What does that tell you? You don't need to be able to read notes to be a fantastic pianist.

But that being said. I think it's good to learn to read the notes too!

Original Question

How do I make piano chords sound less boring?
Q. I use piano chords to accompany myself as I sing, but it just sounds boring.. Any tips on how to make it better? Like some notes to add or something? What do I add?

A. Instead of just playing straight chords, try playing broken chords. For example, where you would normally play CEG at the same time, play each note just a fraction of a second after the first. Another thing you could try is playing the notes of the chord in a different order, so again for example, instead of CEG, play ECG.
