In my experience it all depends on the individual. There are a number of factors that would determine the length of time it takes to get through the beginner lessons.
How often you practice, how well do you comprehend the info presented, etc.
I wouldn't stress on how long it takes to do the lessons, just relax and enjoy the journey.
Welcome and enjoy the ride.
Oh and by no means am I an expert, unfortunately due to life getting in the way I don't practice much so I'm still a beginner myself

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. - John Wooden
Reputation is what other perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most. - John Wooden

I would like to introduce myself. I am a 58 year old female guitar player that is mostly self taught and have had some lessons off on, for about 5 years, mostly off. I cant pass by my guitar, without picking it up. My husband and I are retired and since starting playing around with the guitar, I have since found a passion. I really enjoy it, but feel my knowledge of the guitar is all over the place. I need some structure and discipline in my playing.
I came across this site just today and already am loving it and soon will get into the lessons.

Whats your rush? Do you have an audition with a record label? Seriously. I'm completely brand new myself. I'm feeling a bit insecure about the notes, chords, frets. Ouch! I'm trying to memorize the notes and placement of my fingers of my left hand while my right is trying to pluck. Awkward as heck. So, I do feel your angst. But! Being in a rush and getting frustrated will make you HATE looking at your guitar and you'll practice less. Think about what is frustrating you the most then work on that. Laugh at yourself more. If you mess up, then do it again, but with more flare! Have fun with it. Once you get it out of your system, settle down and try it again. Slowly and with more care.
I know I'm new and probably not one to give out advice. But, I do know that if you make it like work or a "do or die" thing, you'll bum yourself out and quit.
I, myself, have a support system whether she wants to be or not. My teenage daughter. I plucked out Jingle Bells. It sounded good. I rushed to her side, sat down almost on her lap and made her listen as I played it 6 times! But thats because the first 5 I kept screwing up! :)
Good luck!
