I still struggle with it a lot; feeling like I'll never be as good as I would like. But, it's about the "now" and not about the "maybe someday." Just keep remembering that and play/practice because you love to play. Anna, you are most welcome. I still struggle with it a lot; feeling like I’ll never be as good as I would like.

I am a violinist. I am in the hitting my head against the wall phase where I can't make myself practice because I will "never bee good enough". Your insight that music is supposed to be fun is a nice reminder. Here's to making music fun again. Thank you for putting your experiences out there for others to find. Josh,

I was in the same exact boat as you, so it is possible. Just remember that it's about the joy of playing, not the pursuit of becoming something. Glad it resonated with you.

I was so blinded by that goal that I even stopped enjoying playing guitar. Your article gave me a whole new perspective about playing guitar I hope I am able to make myself understand thats its about enjoying guitar not just becoming better player.
