One year of guitar progress (700 hours, self-taught)

90% of aspiring guitarists give up within their first year, and I almost became part of that group... but now I'm here, sharing this video with you. I compiled all my guitar playing from 2023 to 2024, with over 700 hours of practice, to show how a self-taught adult beginner can learn and transform into a better guitarist.
In August 2023, I bought my first guitar as a birthday present for myself, and it soon became my best friend when I had no one to talk to. My journey began with UA-cam guitar tutorials and free online courses like Justin Guitar. During the first few days, my fingers hurt so much from playing the acoustic guitar. A month went by, I overcame the finger pain and started learning songs. I realized the importance of slow practice, so I broke down every song into parts and played them slowly with a metronome. Now, looking back after 1 year of guitar progress, I can confidently say that I made the right choice in picking up the guitar as a new hobby, and there will definitely be more progress to come next year. Please consider subscribing if this video motivates you. Rock on 🤓🎸

I agree but also maybe he;s just a prodigy. Could also be that he started guitar many years ago and got a good foundation and picked it up again recently, thus why his progress in the beginning seems so monumental.
