It took me weeks if not months to get where my fingers positioned so they didn’t mute adjacent strings. Just keep trying and you will notice improvement in a week, then more improvement after that.
Frustration is caused by our expectations not meeting reality. You need to lower your expectations and realize that guitar is hard and it’s going to take many repetitions before you will get any of the skills being taught. What helped me was telling myself that I’m going to suck at guitar, I’m going to suck for a long time, and it’s OK to suck as long as I’m improving.
There are going to be a lot of things that Tony teaches that you will struggle with. I’ve been here 11 months and was unable to do all of yesterday’s Daily Challenge. That’s OK, I tried, and will try again the next time it comes around and will get further. The goal is to try and realize you aren’t supposed to get it on the first try. Maybe not even the 20th, but eventually it will come.
