Let me expand on this a bit. I actually tried a couple of teachers. My first teacher was a perfectionist and would not let me move to the next lesson without perfecting the first lesson. About six months in, I was beyond frustrated, and at this pace, it would be 10 years or more before I could get to the point I wanted. Then I found a new teacher and he was revolutionary. He could tell within 10 minutes that I was just not having fun playing the guitar, as I was trying to perfect every note/chord and I would get pissed when I hit a note or chord wrong. He basically said “you need to learn to have fun playing crappy”. He then had me start to work on Blackbird by the Beatles. I’m like, this is way over my head, and was so intimidated. My progress took off like a rocket ship after that, and the change in mindset was significantly better. After a year with my teacher, I decided to start my own journey. We still keep in touch.
His words of advice still resonate. Don’t compare yourself to others. You will make mistakes, just have fun and be OK with it. Most likely you will be the only one who notices or cares. When frustration sets in, put your guitar down and do something else. Find songs to play that you want to play regardless of the difficulty.
