Hey!

There are two 'parts' to learning guitar: music theory and how that applies to the fretboard. So there's understanding the language of music and then there's physical shapes on the neck.

I see you've been playing for 5 years or more, so you probably know alot of chords. Learn the major scale and it's intervals and know that scales are found inside the chord formations and it will all start falling together for you.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
