Amen William! Walking that very same path. I am four years in and finally starting see my ability to tackle songs I have really wanted learn that are intermediate in difficulty. But, it’s taken a lot of dedication to slowly work my way through Anders rock lessons and resist the urge to move on before I have it under my fingers. Not easy!
I started on GT about 18 months ago after 24 months on Fender Play and I can honestly say I have learned way more on GT. I wish I had more natural talent but I am grateful for the opportunity to grind it out. As Anders said a while back, you only have two choices quit or keep going. The answer is obvious.
Long Live Rock!
