I played trumpet in grade school where I learned how to read sheet music, and count beats and so on. I started playing guitar my freshmen year in high school, which would be in '99. I've played off and on since then. I've stopped playing all together for a 2 year period and for another 2-3 year period. Now I look at playing guitar as all about the journey and not an end result. IDK if I count as one of the experienced players, but here's my 2 cents. Also sometimes if I get disappointed and think to myself that I stink at guitar, I don't worry about it because I enjoy it, and so in 5 years, or longer, I'll be much better.

I saw that you've been playing for less than a year, so I anticipate that you're in the stage were you gotta push on through the boring stuff, then it will get much better. (Also I didn't learn chords until like 2-3 years ago, for all the time before that I just played riffs because I didn't have the patience to practice chords, and when I did get the patience to do so I used to watch T.V. while I practiced them, I wouldn't even attempt to play music, I would just drive home the muscle memory so my fingers went to the right place w/o me having to think about it.)
