You shouldn't feel bad. Rule number one to playing guitar; enjoy what you play and how often you can play. If it's eight billion hours or twenty minutes, if you are enjoying playing or the process of learning, win!

That's the point of playing; enjoyment.

Guitar players have (a bad) history of competitiveness and comparison. It's a natural part of the human condition really. But when it comes to something you want to do just to enjoy it, it's not useful.

Like the saying goes; you do you.

If its due to time restrictions, it is what it is and you may want to maximize that time by 'micro-focusing'. That is to say, just get one little thing down in that session and work on that. I say to my wife often that small improvement is one of the most important tools in anything you do. We always feel like we're supposed to move Mount Everest when we try to learn or do something. A small victory, well done, is better than moving a mountain but not doing it very well.

Don't sweat what's said in this thread. We all have different paths.
