Stay focused but remember this is a LONG DISTANCE ENDEVOR... THIS IS NOT A SPRINT! Stay focused but relax if it doesn't work right away. This real benifit of this pursuit is to enjoy the joruney, not fixate on what you can't do yet. Most all things guitaristic take time. Getting your concious brain to play nice with your Muscle Memory is not a straight path and it goes where it goes. The trick is to figure out how you can enjoy that surprising ride. This more than anything is how the guitarist get seperated from the wantnabes....

Worring about what you will become in some distant future is a great way to needlessly stop playing guitar.
