So I try to 'pick' out the notes and/or see if I can find tab online. And then I practice those few bars until I can play it recognizably, which was my goal from the beginning!
That's about where I started when I first picked up guitar. Four years later, I'm still not great but I'm doing things I never would have imagined myself doing. Keep it up, and never pass up a chance to jam!
