Hi Christina. Welcome aboard.
Yes, it can be frustrating at first. I think it is because we have expectations that it will be easy to start with and then we find out that there is more to playing the guitar than we thought.
It is a process of time and effort and lots of practice.
Just take it step by step. Do not rush forward and gradually you will start to reap the rewards.
Learning any musical instrument is a slow process for the majority of people but the journey of discovery can also be exciting and bring great enjoyment.
It is a great feeling of achievement when you are able to move forward, even in little steps.
I think Guitar Tricks will provide you with everything you need to become a competent guitar player and I wish you every success in your journey of discovery.
If you are ever feeling frustrated or need some inspiration, come on to the forum and share your experiences,ask questions or speak to your instructor. You will always be certain of a good response.
Kind regards
Joe
