When I first tried guitar I lasted 6 weeks and quit in frustration. I came back to it a year later with the attitude that I suck at guitar, I’m going to suck at guitar for a long time and this is OK. This attitude has served me well. I still get frustrated at times, but just have to step back and realize that I’m learning and these things take time.
Just like golf, I wasn’t able to make par on any hole my first month, I don’t expect to be able to play the guitar in a few months either.
There is a GREAT book that explains how the brain learns and it has helped me tremendously in my guitar journey. It’s called, “The Laws of Brainjo” and I highly recommend it.
