How long does it take to be good with an acoustic guitar?
How long does it take to pretty much master the guitar? Im 14 and i need to be good with it before 19
It depends on many factors… dedication divided in these main points=
1- if you study music theory along with guitar technics (scales, arpeggios, etc)
2-the quality of the teacher or music school, and the method(s) used.
3- how many hours a day -every day-you dedicate to it, divided in a minimum of: one hour for exercises, one for music theory, one for playing along with good examples of different genres
4- time you dedicate to listen and listen to classical and jazz masters (and play along).
If you do all this for five years, say five days a week, you could turn into a very advanced guitarist, depending also in your capacity to learn and natural talent for guitar and music generally.
This is also true to any instrument, and my answer applies to your desire to MASTER the guitar, not to play in a teen band for fun, got it?

If you get lessons and also practice in your free time then you probably will be pretty good by 19, if your teacher is good anyway. If you haven’t enough money for lessons then it is possible to learn by yourself, perhaps with a book or something just so you know the chords. My dad taught himself and he’s a really good rhythm guitarist but he has been playing it for about 20 years now.

Depends how much you apply yourself. I was playing in my first band at age 13 after playing for less than a year.

You’re question is just excruciating to read. By to todays standards you just need to now like twenty chords and switch to them competently. With a question like that I can assume you have no place in the world of creativity and music. Have fun "mastering" the guitar. I’m also going to assume that you want to use it as a source of income. Go f*** yourself instead.

Few people ever "master" any instrument. You get out of it what you put in. Yes, you could get very good in 5 years or you could still be very average in 5 years. The quickest way to get good is with a good instructor and lots of quality practice time.
