Practice. The only way to learn to play the guitar is through repetitious practice until the physical motions become second nature.

But Guitar Tricks (or any good teacher!) can help you practice smarter! If you haven't yet, I encourage you to start working through the Guitar Fundamentals 1 course.

Keep working on each lesson, tutorial or exercise until you can play it as the instructor does. You can always go forward in the course watching lessons. But do not consider yourself done with it until you understand the concept or can do the skill being taught.

You have to keep practicing what you can't do until you can do it!

Again, I find this service to be really useless because it doesn't get people to do the basics. The videos show you how to do it, but what if you just simply are not able to do it even with practice.

I'm sorry you are finding it frustrating. It might be possible that your guitar is hindering your progress. Some acoustic guitars have high action (strings too far from the frets) or wide necks or are generally uncomfortable & difficult for beginners to play.

What kind of guitar are you learning with? Do you have the option of trying other guitars, perhaps a friend's, or at a local music store? I encourage you to explore this option to see if your instrument is hindering your progress.

Hope this helps! Please ask more if necessary & best of success!
