I'd go along with the TE quotation. It's a good discipline to give yourself targets,but just the same I'd not be keen on beating myself up if some songs took much longer than a day,I've had some stuff still boiling after months.

I was in a position a while back where I needed to learn about a hundred songs in about 3 months,it was a daunting prospect for me,because I hadn't really made much of an effort to learn anything other than the odd song now and again. I actually surprised myself that I managed to achieve my target in the time frame,just goes to show what you can do if you have to.
