Have to wholly agree. Don’t give up before the magic happens. I almost gave up after year 2. The magic for me happened 4 months after my 2 year anniversary. Everything clicked, and I’ve been getting better ever since, and I have so much fun. I would have missed out if I quit too soon. It is difficult in the beginning. But it will start making sense and with practice and sort term goals, dedication, and focus, you can get better and play.
Question is, what made you want to play? What do you absolutely love about guitar, or the acoustic guitar. What is your end goal? Then break it down into baby steps. Make sure you participate in the 3 month check ins. Make note of where you were at the beginning of that 3 month period, and then where you are at the end of it. Have you improved. Did you work towards your 3 month, short term goal? Why or why not What is the driver within to keep going?
All these questions and more. Write out why you wanted to learn guitar. Write down what drives you the most to keep playing. The best is to make sure you share all your small wins, regardless of how big or small. These are what you will build upon.
People don’t just pick up the guitar and begin playing. It is a process, and one where you never master it. You will always be learning. Bring your expectations down to a realistic goal.
