How long does it take you to learn a new song on whatever instrument you play?

I play the piano and it takes me forever. Actually I don't think I've ever learned a song from beginning to end. I tend to play the first parts. Lately off and on I've been working on November Rain. I played the first parts years ago. But now I'm trying to learn that last epic part lol

It depends on how difficult the song is. I have learned dozens and dozens of songs over the years and have written dozens and dozens of songs over the years on guitar and piano. Probably a week to learn a song. Plus these days it's even easier you can just look up on the internet how to play the song.

Here is a perfect example. I have always loved songs by The Eagles. Here's how to quickly learn one of my favorite songs by The Eagles. Lying Eyes. A couple of hours.
