I’m pretty new here… just a couple of months. I “played” guitar for a few decades but never put in the work to actually build a fundamental skill set. That is what I feel I’m getting here.
One thing I would stress is seriously and methodically completing the steps in the Quick Start guide if you haven’t already. And by seriously I mean don’t skip anything no matter how easy it seems. Take a full 30 days on the 30 Days to Play and 5 days on the 5 Day Routine Challenge. I started the course about 2 years ago and skipped a lot of that because it seemed to fundamental… I was wrong about that for sure. When I stuck to that plan it sort of clicked for me what what happening. You don’t have to get the exercises perfect before you move on… each makes different connections in your brain and muscle memory and then you’ll find improvements in areas you didn’t even practice… small improvements but improvements none the less. Then it took me about another month before I started feeling the rhythm of the weekly challenges. Some weeks it seems like no or very little progress… others I feel a huge difference.
Lots of great input above regarding other factors. Good luck with your guitar journey or whatever else you decide to do.
