Don’t fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other guitar players or musicians. Look to other guitarists for inspiration, but do not compare yourself to them. The great guitarists and musicians were once struggling to learn their first chord, or how to improvise, or how to write songs. They did not become amazing over night. No one does.

Instead of comparing yourself, focus on your goals and what you need to do right now to reach those goals. Make sure you record what you’ve been practicing and what you’ve accomplished. Over time, you will be able to look back and see how far you’ve come and that you are making progress. That will further motivate you to work on reaching your goals. In musical training, success tends to beget more success.
