    @JerryCan I’ve actually been exactly where you’re at and thought this is too difficult, I learn slower than others, I can’t play anything and definitely not well. But, I kept at it, and this year, something really clicked and it seems like overnight I was able to do things I couldn’t do before, my chord transitions became more fluid and faster, I became faster, and I was able to sing while playing. I’m so grateful I didn’t stop playing, because this is something I’ve always wanted to do. Will I ever be as good as some of the others that have EPs and other original works, or who can go and play in an open setting for an extended period, probably not. I’m doing this more for myself. If I get to the point I can play for family and friends, that will be great.

    The guitar is a difficult instrument to learn, but it’s not impossible. It just takes dedication and hard work. It takes not only the lessons and practice, but extending outside of TAC and trying to play songs from other sites. If you’re interested, I can message you with some sites that are free. Search for simple 2 and 3 chord songs to play on YouTube. Have you considered private lessons? I supplement TAC with private lessons, and it’s helped a lot. I have a great teacher that doesn’t dictate the curriculum. We have goals and work towards them.

    Anyway, not sure if any of this will sway you not to quit. I don’t even know what you find difficult or are struggling with. There’s always tomorrow and things might be better.
