I guess it is just practice, practice and more practice, I wish I could play too but i have never even tried even though I hang out with great guitarists I don't have a musical bone in my body but it would be great to be able to make music.

No rush...
At first, i was thinking about that too, now i'm a better guitar player.
You have to hold on, at first, you just have to keep practice 1 hours a day,that's enough, just just don't give up, you will be successful!

The secret is lots of practice:) i think that's the only way you can play better and even more better.
You may have the greatest guitar player as your teacher and teach you all the high level technique he knows, but if u never practice, it's all useless:)
to be honest i was like you before, i got frustrated too, all my friends learn faster than me and plays better than me, until i think maybe i'm not destined to be a guitar player, but after a while i change my mind and start to practice again. Even though i'm still not as good as my friends yet, but for sure i'm gaining improvement every time i practice.
I become more sensitive to chord progression & melody, and can play much better than the last time i can remember how i play, which is really sucks LOL.
So the key is just keep practicing, don't give up, and enjoy it, since if u don't enjoy playing guitar, the sound that you produce with your guitar will not be good even though you can play with high level technique, since it has no "soul" in it:)

I like the Rock Guitar as I Played Years Ago but I Stopped due to Money & Family
Problems. You need Patience to Learn How to Read the Notes & Music. Lots of Practice & a Good Instructor will Help with the Lessons. Strength in Your Fingers
also Helps to Press the Chords Firmly. But Don't Give Up so Easily.

This brings me back to my high school years. Yes, I know how you feel. I studied in an all-girls school and my friends all know how to play a guitar. It's like, gosh they're really good, will I ever get to be one? I started learning by myself then, got a few friends to teach me, just simple songs/chords for a beginner. I learned but for me it was not enough, I still cannot say I am good. But as the years passed and I got other interests, learned new friends, I said to myself I am lucky to have known/played 1 instrument. What's nice is that even if I am not good at playing the guitar, at least I know how to sing. So cheer up. If playing doesnt suit you, why dont you try singing instead? Who knows you and your friends can start a band, with you as the vocalist ('v')!

If you really want to learn how to play the guitar and doesn't know where to start, find a guitar teacher or a kind friend that will teach you all the basics in guitar playing.
Don't be hard on yourself by trying to play difficult musical pieces at once. Start with the easy ones and practice them regularly. You'll get the hang of it. Once you've learned the basics, move to the next level.

The secret to learn guitar playing? PRACTICE!

There is no secret to playing the guitar unfortunately. People learn at different paces but the one thing they all have in common is practice. It's a lot like typing. Remember when you didn't know you home keys? Hopefully you know them now you may have thought how can I type without looking down at the keys 40 wpm. Well you practice and practice and then before you know it you are typing 40 wpm or more.

Practice with your friends or with anyone who is patient enough to work with you don't try to learn to much at once. And learn basic chords G C D E E minor F A minor A and some basic bar chords. The basic chords are the foundation of playing the guitar Hundreds and hundreds of songs yous these chords and you can build from there just don't give up.

Vampire fcy has some good advice, and that is what I have always believed, Never give up, it doesn't matter whether you learn a little or a lot, the important thing is that you never give up, and keep the faith! 'Cause remember, "the sun is shining on the other side of that mountain"!
