A *lot* of good stuff in JJ90's post...including the shout-out to Justin.
Everyone progresses differently. If reaching chosen guitar goals is taking too long, take more lessons and practice more. I myself have little 'talent' for guitar but I overcome that lack with practice. Lots and lots of practice. My progress is moderate at best yet I'm better than I was last month, not as good as I will be the next one.
Two quotations I keep close;
"She wasn't where she had been. She wasn't where she was going…but she was on her way."
-- Jodi Hills
"Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' "
-- Mary Anne Radmacher
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
