Hey all, recently I started learning the guitar, being a musician myself I've always had an interest in it, it's a steep learning curve coming from percussion and I'm wondering how do you set yourself up to learn a new skill effectively?

Humans are natural learners—and we learn best when we perform the tasks we’re trying to learn. No matter how good your grades were at college, most of your learning takes place once you enter the workplace and start applying what you've learned.
Let's say you’re trying to learn SEO. Don’t invest all your time in learning the jargon and theory—dive in as soon as you can to master the skill through trial and error. Start a blog. Write a few posts. Find out for yourself what works and what doesn’t. The more you do it, the more you learn. mythdhr
Better yet, build new habits to enforce your new skills. Start small and reward yourself to start building a pattern of behavior that will reinforce what you're learning.

I will be honest that I usually spend a lot more time than I should reading, researching and watching videos to learn something. It's a lot easier to consume than to practice and also it help you get more confident that the skill you want to learn is the right one and that you find good content to learn it.
That being said, I've learned anything without a lot of practice. What works for me is to pick a time for at least 3 days per week and stick to it. I've learned spanish like this, iOS coding and so on.
I wrote about it 10 years ago but I think it's still relevant: https://medium.com/@robmoraisjr/...

Learning new skills can take time and patience, as well as motivation to succeed. We should practice constantly and evaluate what we have learned. I am the founder of https://digitalmindinc.com and the NFT project Metafrens. But, these days I am learning to trade and the stock market. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn a new skill.
