i've been playing guitar for like 5 years now, and i'm so shit. i practice 30mins-1 hr a day usually but recently ive been practising a lot more like 3-4 hrs a day. i dont feel as though in the past year i've achieved anything at all guitar wise and i've never been so demoralised. I really want to be able to play fast stuff, not metal type sweeping and stuff but just be able to solo fast and well. i've put in hours of metronome practice and got no-where.
it literally feels like i will never improve past this point and its literally making me close to tears at times. I love playing the guitar a lot but its losing all of the fun it once had as i feel like im taking one step forward and two steps back.
an example of this is how i'm currently learning the stairway to heaven solo. i've learnt it all up until the fast string bend bit and sometimes ill come to my guitar, and play what i know perfectly 3 times in a row. i'll come to it another time and play it like shit and even when i practice it doesnt seem to work. i really dont know what to do because something i love so much is slowly becoming something that depresses me. i know this is a massive wall of long boring text but can anyone help me ? i just want to be able to play fast and i dont seem to be able to get anywhere.
