Oh man... How long have you been playing?? Don't quit just like that... It takes time... Anyway, it ain't all about speed...

Maybe you just need to leave it alone for a few days... come back to it again when you feel better about it??

I hope speed isn't that important or I'll have to sell all of mine, too.

Dude... I've been playing for over 30 years and I still need to work on stuff. Stick with it, you've really only just begun...

Is this a joke? 3 1/3 months? I've been playing over 30 years, and I can't play as fast as I would like. Heck I've heard Chet say he can't play fast compared to some others. Give it another 30 years or so before you decide to give it up. What kind of music are you playing? You may try tossing the flatpick and using thumbpick and fingers. That's what I've done in the past year, and it has done wonders for my playing.

Man... you've only just started. A few months is nothing... It takes time and effort. If it was that easy we'd all sound like Hendrix...

Well like anything in life, if you want to get good at something you have to practice, practice, practice. And it takes years of practice. The best players in the world have spent years and years woodshedding to get where they are. It don't come easy.

Speed is overrated.

Pick a note and say something with it.
