Well, how long have you been doing it? Are you trying to do it at a slower tempo? Try playing a metronome or something and just tapping your foot along with it before adding guitar into the mix, just to kind of get a feel for it. Try working at a slow tempo first then building your way up. And you'll definitely make mistakes, but after time the mistakes will become scarce. Soon enough you won't be able to think about what it's like to play without it.

Whatever you do, don't eat limes. A friend of mine ate a lime once and BAM!! Two years later. Herpes.
