Guitar & Musician Forums

Honestly, it sounds like you’re just in a tough phase. Many of us have been there! Just keep at it, maybe set small goals like learning one chord or a simple riff. Celebrate those little victories; they’ll keep you motivated. And remember, it’s okay to take a break when you need it.

I’ve been trying for almost 2 years and I can’t seem to be able to play even the easiest song. My fingers hurt every time I try to play, and my wrist hurts trying to hold onto the guitar neck. I can’t transition from chord to chord, and my biggest enemy are barre chords. Is there the possibility that I actually ain’t built for the guitar?
