Electric guitar...

Good man! Things will come in their time, and the number one thing I hear from you is that you’re dedicated to practicing at least 1/2 hour a day. You’ll be surprised that one day that things will start picking up speed and falling into place. When you can stop concentrating on the mechanics, and the patterns will be much more natural. Pick on brother, you’re doing fine!
If I don't practice (once or twice a month) I feal like I'm cheating myself and I don't like to be cheated!...
