Just my experience.... As in life, you cant force those 'ah ha" moments. Those moments of clarity. It has been my experience, and truely learning the guitar is no exception, you must find someone or some system you trust. Truly trust. I believe GT is a great source for this. Once you believe in a system, you must turn yourself over to the steps and pace that it dictates. I know it is very hard to comply with, "don't move on until you can play this scale in your sleep, or you must know all the notes on the fretboard to understand this next lesson". But by doing this, you build a solid foundation for creating those "ah ha" moments of clarity. They come, you just cant force them.
