A few weeks ago I started learning Alive, by Pearl Jam. I can play the solo at around 75% speed. I don't spend a ton of time focused on this one song, but I do throw it in the rotation of daily songs/riffs I work on.

I'd like to hear from people who can play this solo at full speed with no problems and also from people who aren't quite there yet. How long have you been playing guitar? How long did it take for you to get where you currently are on this song? Do you play every day? How long? What kind of practice routine?

I guess I'm a little disappointed in my progress. I started playing guitar 7 years ago but only got serious 1.5 years ago. I feel that I should be faster and have less trouble learning songs. I play every day, anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours.

Advice please.
Thanks.
