Depends on the instrument and your aptitude for picking it up, I guess. For instance, it took me a good 4/5 months before I could play anything I regarded as reasonable on the piano, whereas I picked up a ukulele 3 weeks ago and can strum out and sing quite a few songs (covers - Paolo Nutini, King Blues and anything that requires the chords G,C,Am,F lol) to an agreeable standard. What instruments are you planning on learning?
I found, for me (as I'm incredibley impatient), it was disciplining myself not to go too fast too quickly that was the biggest problem in learning an instrument. I'd start trying to learn something way too complex, get sh*tty because I couldn't do it and give up for a couple of days.
Sometimes you just got to take a step back and start from the beginning, as much as it sucks. Especially if you do plan on doing more than just covers.
