Congratulations @Himleyn . This is a wonderful site and it consistently helps people make progress. However, there’s more to it than “getting better”.
The real deal is to have fun. As long as you’re having fun, then you are “doing it right”. But again, I would encourage you to work on a song. How to play a song? It’s like Nike says: “just do it”. Pick a song that you know. Preferably a song you sing along with when you hear it on the radio. Then, go find the chords and lyrics and start working on it.
When you start a chorus or verse and then quit, my guess is that you are judging yourself. You think it isn’t good enough. You’re not playing it like the guys on the radio. You will need to get better to be able to play it. Whatever it is, you’re wrong. You don’t have to do it perfectly. You don’t have to do it like the guys on the radio. It doesn’t even have to sound like the same song. You don’t even have to like it. But the more you “just do it”, the closer you’ll get to any or all of those things. By the time you’re good enough to sound like the guys on the radio, you’ll realize you don’t want to sound like them. You want your own sound. It’s easier to do that now. The best advice to playing music after “have fun”, is “let yourself make mistakes”. Some of the best music started off as a mistake.
I hope I have helped. I look forward to hearing about more of your progress.
