Over the past 2 years I've learned to be a little more patient with my progress. By this I mean that when I'm learning a new chord or song it's not like I practice it for a few hours and by the end of those few hours I see a large improvement. That's what I expected in the beginning and it was frustrating. It's often a couple days later that I notice the most significant improvement. Not sure if this is just the rate in which my tiny pea brain can memorize or what but the fact that I realize this keeps me from getting frustrated so quickly and therefore keeps me playing. Makes playing much more pleasant. Good Luck!
