Good advice. It can get very frustrating, but don't let a song intimidate you because think it sounds difficult. ( happened to me allot)

I think this is why many people quit playing.
Most people pick up the guitar because they are inspired by something incredible. Then they focus on learning that lick/song and dont learn the techniques first. When they cant do it they quit. Its understandable as it takes a couple of years in my opinion just to learn TO play, then you can start thinking about songs. Not that thats how I did it of course, I took route A above...lol but fortunately I hung on long enough to get some techniques under my belt and am only just now (3 years after starting) able to realise why I could not play anything for the last 3 years. Its taken me this long to forget playing songs and start playing techniques. Now I can play the songs I had so much difficulty with before. The best thing now though is that I can go back to all the things I tried to play before and gave up on and have the pleasure of hearing them come out of MY guitar - awesome feelings. I am having a bit of a retro time at the moment playing lots of "strummy" acoustic songs from the '60's & '70's that I had loads of difficulty with before but now sound good. Its amazing that it seems so much easier to play them now, and yet was so hard before. -------------------- its not easy
