You know I only play for my own entertainment. If I only play a few scales I am happy even if I screw up half the time. I have been playing for just about 4 months and I do mean playing. I don't know a single song hahahah. But I have fun learning and practicing. I really want a new guitar the one I have is a really cheapy-do beginner guitar just to see if I would like it. I do but hey I am broke but I am still happy with the one I have. If I was you I would get that guitar and keep playing for sure :) I can relate to your situation but only barely. I can't stand and play thats for sure and I really am not very good but considering how I was 4 months ago I can jam! Stick with it if nothing else it should make you happy just playing,
