my, friend, i can feel ya. i began this past sept. i still feel i'm not making any progress, but i'm not being honest with myself, i'm being impatient. my add is gnar gnar; and coupled with a slight ocd the perfectionism is also something i deal with. i am making progress. i try to play and watch and read at least daily. here's what i have been doing.
uncle rod's bootcamp: pick a key, might as well start with C. go through it and make notes on date and how you went through it. do the sheet a few times, and say the chords out loud as you read and finger them. at the end of each week, not progress, and move to next key, but in second week, include previous sheets.
UU: uu has some great great lessons, some free and some for university students, and aldrine is great and an awesome teacher. (i plan to go annual as soon as $ tree bears billbuds)
hms: aaron at the hawaii music supply is also fantastic with his instructionals
some of the vids i wathed 8-10, sometimes 20 times berfore something just clicked. it wasnt but last week, that the CAGFD system clicked. (still familiarizing with scales and their positions).
keep at it. art isn't absorbed through osmosis, and obsetvation alone only goes so far. perfection is the product of the squares of practice and persistance.
