What will I learn with intermediate guitar lessons?
A lot of advanced techniques and tricks are preached. You'll most definitely learn the craft of bends and slides. Arpeggios along with "hammer ons" and "pull offs" are also taught. Most of the tricks listed above are used heavily in guitar solos and other lead guitar lessons. Intermediate lessons will also focus on some alternative picking techniques, bass-strum, and other complex rhythms.
The salesman at the store told me when I purchased my guitar it was great for beginners. Does that mean I need to upgrade to an intermediate or professional guitar?
Not at all. Beginner guitars are labeled "beginner" because they are generally not made out of premium materials or are not made from a prestigious or reputable company. They're defined as "beginner guitars" because they are inexpensive and not because they lack certain characteristics or qualities to play intermediate guitar lessons. You can play with your "beginner" guitar as long as you would like or upgrade to a better guitar after you become professional.
How much time will I need to set aside for intermediate lessons?
The same amount of time as you did for beginner guitar lessons. That is assuming that you practiced on average 30 minutes a day, everyday. Some individuals will dedicate more like 45 to 60 minutes a day once they hit intermediate lessons. It doesn't really matter as long as the practice time is consistent and you spend the entire time truly practicing.
