Yes; it is a process; seems slow going; and can be discouraging. The process does work over time though as we are consistent. i have times when I do the minimum 10 minutes, and times when I put in an hour or more now that I have progressed some and am also working on a song here and there.
I am a month away from 4 years now; and though started older (I am 71), could not have imagined I would be able to post videos such as I have recently of the Wagon Wheel Chord Progression and Wish You Were Here. They are far from great, but oh so much more than I thought would be.
Keep at it and you will surprise yourself. Don’t wait to get something down pat before you take a next step. Keep playing and watch things start coming together. The best to you.
