Indeed, everyone has been very kind and helpful. I called out for help and got better help than I had hoped for :)

Thanks to the advice I've gotten, I'm already starting to see myself improve again, even if only by a small amount every day. Knowing now that learning to play the Guitar takes time, I'll keep working hard until I get to a point where I can perform in front of people who're not friends and family, because it would be so much more awesome to play for just 20 strangers who are having fun and enjoying themselves than it would be to show off in front of one's own family and friends... But before I get to that point, I still have to go through lots of practice.
