Question: Is the guitar just not for me or what!?
I picked up the instrument when I was 16, for the first two years I played an hour or two a day and practiced hard!. I enjoyed playing but then I got to a point where it got too frustrating and complicating for me to learn, I kind of like gave up!. For the last three years I've been trying to get back into it but I don't know where I start from!. Do I have to learn everything all over again or pick up where I left off!? Or is the guitar just not for me!? I love the instrument and it's something I really want to see myself good at, I adapted to it pretty quick and kept getting better but then it just fell apart!. I never learned music theory or reading sheet music and it's something I can't teach myself with!. Please help and give me advice if you can, I'd appreciate it!. Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

try and get together with some other musicians and play!. It'll force you to get a little better, through ambition, or embarrassment!. also, take a class at a junior college!. Guitar classes are usually cake, and you're in a room with 20-50 people who suck as bad as you do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I went through the same phases!. I think that I am really getting better and then I see someone wailing at a local bar and I get frustrated!. Youtube has people that teach you songs slowly and in stages!. That is how I learned Sweet Child of Mine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
