@BrandonK, I did want to mention something that kind of aligns with what @jumpinjeff was saying. I was struggling, putting in 2 hours a day, doing drills, doing scales, and just wasn’t progressing as fast as I wanted given all the practice time I was putting in. I had found a good guitar teacher, and he basically said, “you aren’t improving as fast as you want because you aren’t having fun, and have set your expectations too high”. I didn’t quite understand at the moment. He said, just stop the drills for a while and let’s just work on some fun songs. He kept stressing having fun. Even if I sound like I suck, just keep having fun. After a month or so, my progress took off like a rocket. He said, I know drills are beneficial, but they should be a small part of your practice. Playing songs should incorporate most of your time. Even if the songs are only easy two chord progressions. Hope this helps.
