6 months? proabaly not good I was still struggling with certain things mostly chords and and scales.I could play Black Sabbath and stuff like that but to tell you the truth ,My interest in playing wasn't too much .I had other things goin on when I was 16 (girls,parties things like that)But I got into it more as I kept playin and before you know it I was hooked but six months though not too good.
