I would say make a goal for your self,you must have a goal without one you will not improve. 2cd start with the core system. And dont try to learn any kind of song that is out of ur league. There are so many songs on gt for the beginner, songs u can play with only 2 or 3 chords,now ur playing to fill ur apatite.
Take it slow , we ALL BEEN WERE UR AT NOW.
So just hang in there tracy, the rewards are overwhelming.
