I don't know how to put a timeframe on this, but.... stick myself to a practice schedule and stay committed... be able to strum and switch cords and follow along with the rhythm for 1 entire song... With the ultimate goal of being able to strum along with a another player at a campfire, without throwing off the rhythm of the song.

It's got a strong rhythm like Every breath you take from the Police.

@Jake Yakes Yes, me too......."My biggest struggle is accidentally muting strings with my sausages for fingers 😂"

I meant to post this a couple days ago when I was practicing, but and...well... Here goes. I'm now 53. I've been trying to pick up the guitar and practice on a regular basis. And learn some stuff for the last five plus years, I get really motivated for a month or 2 then falls aways ..... I'm still very much at the beginner learning phase. Figuring out cords and strums and with strings to press without muting other things. I've used various things like youtube and some online classes from youtube guitarists, as well as the application called yousician... just activities of life keep pulling me away from taking the necessary time. Best win I've had was getting a full month of daily practice in at one point and I haven't gotten back there yet. Here is my guitar, I also have a little mobile Amp.
