Hi everyone!
I'm new to guitar playing (less than one year) and have several friends that play guitar as well, most for many years.

I have a question that I'm afraid to ask any of them for fear I'll fall into an inside joke, so I want to throw it out and see what the general response is.

I was told to expect a "Break Through", several of them in fact, as I continue down the path of guitar playing. One would arrive around my "second month" of playing and then I'd have another one a little further down the road, etc.

Question: What is a "Break Through" and how would I know if I had one? Is there such a thing?

What are the signs?
- Should my toes curl and I bite my lip?
- Should I begin channeling Slash and play "Sweet Child of Mine" behind my back?
- Is there a party involved afterwards?

So please let me know if I should keep an eye out for Break Throughs, or if I should file this away along with Left-handed Monkey Wrenches and Easter Bunnies? (Sorry if I just broke it to you there's no Easter Bunny.)

Thanks for your expert insight into this matter.
