Agreed, in my third month of learning, and I concluded around 6-8 weeks in I really do need to find an in person coach/teacher/mentor. I know not everyone can afford weekly guitar lessons, and it doesn’t need to necessarily be a professional teacher every week, but l think @Ping would benefit from just finding someone locally who is an experienced player/teacher who she can meet with in person from time to time. Perhaps someone else here on TAC is close by who could help her?
If she hasn’t gotten past this issue in a month on her own, I think she really needs someone to sit down with her in person. (Assuming she is actively practicing daily etc). You should see some level of progress after that much time, and since she still isn’t that means she needs some help, and clearly, internet recommendations aren’t getting it done. I give her credit, extreme credit, that she is still working hard after a month of little to no progress.. but I would fear, she may not be able to get past this on her own, and nothing is more likely to cause someone to quit, than frustration without progress.
