You're not alone there dude. You gotta put alot of hours into the guitar though to gain skill. I'd suggest learning all the open position chords and getting good at switching them around. Then think about where you wanna go with your playing? Chances are you'll wanna work on some lead bits so learning a position of the pentatonic scale will help you here. That should keep you busy for the next 6 months ;)

Go to www.homespuntapes.com. They have an excellent selection of instructional DVDs and vidieos in a bunch of different styles and skill levels. Don't give up. Tomorrow you will be better than you were today. :)
