Frustration is a natural part of the process, and frustration will continue to happen at various stages in your guitar journey. I don’t think we would get better without frustration and perceived failure. For some, it motivates them to get better, and they work a little harder, and play a little longer. For some others, they give up. If you’ve been playing for over a year, you’re past the point where most people quit. I would call that a major win. I try to accept the fact that I WILL get frustrated. Whether working on a complicated song, chord, or combination of both. I’m cursed with being a perfectionist, and when I get this way, I just walk away for a minute, just being aware of my frustration, but not dwelling on anything. Once I’ve allowed the emotion to peak and recede, I jump back into it.
I’m just over 5 years in. Almost three with TAC. I do remember how I felt the first couple of years. It was pretty difficult, I was lost, but I got through, and I know you can too. The magic is about to happen.
