Are their some people that just can't do this?

We`ve all gone through it. Some days everything just seems to flow and other days everything seems like an insufferable chore. Guitar is no different. Progress is not linear; it takes all kinds of detours and side streets along the way. Just wondering: How long have you been working on this lesson ? Some lessons take a lot longer than others. I recall one lesson in GF2 that took me literally weeks of daily practice to get through. I must have practiced the practice tune over 500 times ! Even then it wasn`t perfect but I deemed it good enough to move on.

My point is this. Anyone can do this if they have the perseverence and patience to do so. Most people who try to learn to play guitar will give up along the way. Otherwise everyone would be doing it, as the old saying goes. It`s a lifelong endevour. Enjoy the journey and know that every hour you spend playing will make you a better player, even if it doesn`t always seem that way.

Lastly, if you`re REALLY stuck on this, consider a one on one lesson to help get you over that hump.

Good luck !
