Hello!

I've been playing guitar for a year or so. I really like this instrument and the music but I constantly have a feeling that I'm doing something wrong.

I really do not see a progress in my playing and learning songs is still so difficult to me as if it was my first time holding the guitar. I see other people learning new songs so effortlessly, or just really faster than me. I don't understand how they do it. Is it a skill? Or maybe It's just problem with me, my muscle memory or memory in general?

I believe that everyone can achieve some goals in a field they like, including music. But feeling myself helplessly day by day every time picking up the guitar is exhausting.

I've been having guitar for also a year or maybe more already, but I was taking a time off from time to time because of feeling that I play nothing right. And after that I return to my guitar again and again.

Somehow I just can't give up on it.

Maybe there are some tips you guys can share or feel free to tell about your experience having a period like that. I will read everything and will appreciate your feedback.

Thank you!
