how long do you think it would take a novice guiatr player to be able to play older chests?

novice is in the eye of the beholder

just go for it and start practicing... it's how you get better... you just start playing whatever you want to learn and work hard on it... good luck!

you just gotta be determined and keep at it until you get it

im learning Hellelujah at the moment and finding it difficult as iv only been playing since before christmas but you just gotta push yourself

Older Chests is a simple song in terms of the chords/Notes you need to play. The real challenge is in the feel of how you play it. That is something that is not so easily taught. If you play it and enjoy playing it then that's all that really matters though.

try just strumming the chords lightly first, rather then concentrating on the accuracy of the fingerpicking, try to take it from there... Killian is right too, to learn something that's genuinely going to push your playing up a notch, you really have to challenge yourself.

aww man, good question I too have tried to play older chest and can play it but the feel, like sifteruk mentioned, is the key, when I learnt to play this song i tired it with the cd and got lost cause its not just playing the correct chords an notes the whole time its paying the correct chords and notes while feeling out the song and changing things as you go, its confusing, at least to say, but maybe you get me, anyways, practice= the key, only by practice will anyone ,good or bad at guitar, will do anything...

I think older chests is generally easy for a novice, it was one of the first songs I learned. You just have to be determined and love the music. Hell, the first Damien song (or any song for that matter) I learned to play was I remember
