I think till now(I started 10 month ago) my guitar playing has been actually quite successful, but this refers only to technique, because I just recently realized that the musicial part is actually more important. So in the beginning 9 months I did only technique exercises instead of more jamming and now I´m trying to be more creative, and I already (also due to your suggestions) see some progress in my improvised playing. It´s getting more melodic now....
