I’m 73 and was right where you are nearly a year ago! I too, was frustrated with my seemingly slow progress. But all the repeated advice given (progress over perfection, be consistent in your practice, take it slow and in smaller chunks), I finally had a mind-set change, and realized guitar wasn’t learned in a day (or 3, 6, 12 months, etc.). No question I am better than I was a year ago, but I recognize now that I still have limitations in what I can do, particularly barre chords. But I have a bunch of songs to learn that use simpler chords, and am working on pick accuracy etc. Your goals are reasonable enough, if you are easy on yourself. If you haven’t already, try some or all of the skill courses accessed from the left side of the home page. They should help you get a better handle on some of the techniques offered in the weekly challenges.
Hang in there, you got this!
