I share dr. Simons thoughts about miracle-cures aswell, all good guitarplayers have been doing the same process: hour aftar hour, day after day, month after month practicing, improvising, playing and reading theory. Musicians are a bounch of dedicated and hard working people and I really think they deserve more respect from the society.
Anyway, keep playing and if you ever think anything like this: "I will never be a good guitarist!" just write your thoughts on the forum and all the great people here will help you finding the motivation again!
Take care dude!
