I’m right there with you, and I’ve been dabbling in guitar much longer than you. I used to practice but never thought of myself as a player. That changed after I heard Tony say that once you pick up the guitar and start playing you ARE a guitar player. That re-frame helped my guitar work be inspirational and aspirational. I started keeping a pick in my pocket at all times as a reminder.
Now, you’re not at your goal today, but can you say you’re better than you were 6 months ago? If yes, even a little, then you’re progressing and that’s better than those who keep their guitar in a case under the bed. Skill can ebb and flow as well. You may have awesome growth in one 30-day period, then plateau for a while. That’s OK.
