Don't give up man... Feeling is ingrained in all of us. Knowing how to communicate that to the masses is something that will come in time, and a lot of practice. Keep up the practicing, for a wise man once told me that "All good things come in time, and the sweetest things are those that were earned." There is nothing easy about playing the guitar. I mean if I could master the instrument by placing a Mel Bay Instuction book under my pillow and let it seep into my brain by osmosis while I sleep, I would be the fastest, most influencial shredder on the planet. But alas, the only thing I can shred well is Cheddar. It will come in time.
To me, it almost seems like you are looking at practicing as a chore. It don't have to be, so don't make it one.
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?
