I started playing 2 years ago. Up until recently playing always felt like a chore because I found the guitar so hard and so complex. I played off and on nothing serious. I didn't enjoy it, but I tried to convince myself I did because I love music and I always found the guitar fascinating. I stopped playing completely for about a half year. I just couldn't get into it. Then about 2 months ago started playing again, and since then I have not put it down. I've become addicted. Its all I think about now. Playing puts me in a good mood. I'm seeing improvements in my playing everyday which just makes me want to play more. I'm also beginning to study music theory(not as boring as i thought it would be). If it wasn't for this website I'd probably still be stuck playing mary had a little lamb...actually I wouldn't be playing at all.

So how long did it take before you started to enjoy playing and learning the guitar?
