I've been pro musician for more than 10 so far,
I will tell you what happened with me,and how. Actually,there isn't much to say or explain. Only thing I do know is that I wasn't thinking a lot, I was playing as much as I could cause I really enjoyed every second spent with my guitar. It's more than just love,it's rather obsession and you can't resist, to be honest,you're not trying at all. So,you shouldn't let in more into your life, it has to enter by itself. -------------------- Youtube

It is normal to lack focus, because you started only last January. You aren't aware of the possibilities, and haven't had enough experience yet to really imagine yourself being a pro musician. My advice to you is keep playing and enjoy your music, don't think about how and when you're gonna become pro. Life is strange and you never know why, how, and when things will happen, but they do happen eventually for the firm believers in what they do. So keep practicing, and gradually the chain of events will take place that will make you cross the border from amateur to professional musician, and you will be aware of it after some time.

I'd suggest reserving some fixed part of the day for practice, no matter if that day you feel like playing or not, just try to be disciplined and practice, jam, learn new songs, record... whatever!
Things that are worth it take a lot of effort, and guitar sure is worth it. Find motivation through GMC lessons and exercises, jamming to backing tracks, record your own stuff, and learn songs from bands you like. Read some of Andrew's theory lessons when you need to expand your horizons. Just keep at it, and it will pay off -------------------- Guitars:

I know what you mean Daniel, it's depressing for me as well not to be able to play, and do feel sad and depressed without guitar and music

I think both Muris and wrk are right.
As wrk was saying, one thing you should aim is not getting bored with guitar. If you go into a hard guitar practice routine for six months but then you get bored and stop it doesn't worth. I quit guitar several times in my life because I was bored, and I completely regret that. Nowadays I just keep myself trying to balance between "boring" exercises and funny stuff. It really feels like obsession as Muris said. This post has been edited by Gus: Oct 30 2008, 10:24 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
