Firstly welcome to the forum

We would be glad to help you.

Where are you finding that you are getting stuck?

I think after you have played guitar for this long the improvements you make are not as apparent. I find this makes a lot of guitarists demotivated.

Perhaps this is your issue?

Hi Brett, you say you've been playing for around 2 years? One way that would be helpful is if you could learn the G Major Neutral Zero chord. It's pretty tricky to start with but seeing as you've been playing for a while you should pick it up in no time. I understand that the majority of songs that make it into the charts these days use it.


I hope this helps,

Rex :D
