Well, I don't know. Yes, learning the guitar is like learning anything else. It takes time and practice. PLENTY of practice. But there are times when there will be something that will have vexed you for a while and then one day "pop", there it is. A good example, for me anyway, were bar chords. I couldn't make a bar chord for the first few months. Then one day, it just worked. I don't know how or why but it did.

I wouldn't expect this sort of thing to happen over and over but you might have a few of those moments as you continue to learn. :)
