@KayMesser Welcome back. That’s a huge win to be able to step away when necessary, but more importantly to return and not give up.
I’m not sure how long you’ve been playing or how often you play/practice, but your profile says you joined in 2022, so that’s still considered fairly new in guitar. Give yourself a much needed break from the should haves, and look at how much you’ve achieved since first picking up the guitar. I often do this when I’m feeling discouraged and feel I should be more proficient at playing already. I can see that I am improving and progressing at playing. I have to stop myself when I compare myself to others playing. We don’t know their situation. Are they still juggling work, family, other commitments, etc. How often are they able to pick up and play and practice during a day or week. Have they supplemented their TAC lessons with private guitar lessons (this is something I highly recommend you look consider). It’s funny, but usually when I’m the most frustrated that right around the corner is an aha moment or something clicks and all of a sudden I have a burst of improvement in something I had been struggling with. Those are fun moments. I’m not familiar with the song you mention, but maybe look for 2 or 3 chord songs by Googling or searching You Tube for lessons/tutorials for 2-3 chord songs.
Most of all, just take a breath and tell yourself that you’re right where you’re supposed to be at the moment – Be kind to yourself. And then keep moving forward and have fun learning new things on the guitar. It’s a difficult instrument to learn, but the learning gets easier the longer you play, and I guarantee that you’ll continue to progress if you keep playing.
