Same here. I usually practise till I get it down completely.

I can so relate to the being patient comment. Improvement certainly is in such small steps we (certainly me) often think it never happens, but it does.

I've been playing for a little over 4 months and I've been practicing too much...sometimes 3 or 4 hours a day...and longer than that the past two days. As a result, I'm forced to take a couple of days off to rest the wrist of my fretting hand.

So be careful of over doing it, or you'll end up looking at your guitar and wishing you could play it.

Good advise GeetarGal101, sure is easy to over do it in the beginning.
