Learn your basics before you move on. I use to have a 1 hour lesion every Saturday morning. As I remember D and C was my first two chords. That's all I had to practice so that was my week, making and letting go so those chords. Next Saturday I got another chord because I had D down. It was boring!!!! But in about 2 months I could make the shapes, not so they rang right when my fingers landed on them, but my fingers knew where they were going. F and Bm took longer.

While all that " " <-- insert you own word(s) .................. It's worse not being able to. This is truly one of those things that the longer you put it off, the longer you hinder yourself.

I use to play a lot of songs I really didn't enjoy playing, but watching the crowd react and enjoy it was cool. So I started to enjoy them, kind of surprised me.
