If you haven't already I encourage you to start working on the Fundamentals courses. They are a great place for beginners to start & get the most structure at GT.

The only way to succeed at learning & playing guitar is repetitious practice. It takes some people a shorter amount of time & others longer. But the same thing has to happen in both cases: the student has to put in enough time to make the physical process second nature.

Of course having a well designed curriculum that shows you what to do & how to do it can help you get there faster. So welcome to GT! I wish you the best of success with guitar.

Practice! A lot! Then practice more. :)
