ā¦ in life in general 
Guitar-related: Those moments (few and far between) where you suddenly realise how crappy you play, considering all the hours of āguitar-related-activityā you have invested over the years (incl. this forum 
).
Thankfully they donāt last 
ā¦ and people who create a repeat Christmas song thread instead of posting in the one Rogier already created. (only joking )
I did apologize for that in PM
It simply takes time. At first it was the same for me, I couldnāt maintain the shape, the hand got tired very quickly. But the majority of the songs I play have power chords (very often only power chords) so I had no choice but to keep playing them and eventually they became natural and very easy to play.
I guess the answer is always the same : practice songs songs songs and more songs
As sad as it sounds I havenāt found any other working methods yet.
The B chord and itās evil cousin B flat.
@brianlarsen , if we are getting into ālife in generalā, this will be a long threadā¦
But you are so right, especially as the world gets more complicated and crazy and of course we get olderā¦sigh.
Another frustration in guitar is the thumb over. I have average hands for my size which is smaller in general and I like wide nuts, so thumb overs are just not feasible on the guitars I play the most.
Then I try and learn a song from someone like the āSixString Fingerpickingā guy, and he casually throws his thumb over the 6th and even 5th string on a classical guitar with a 52mm nut.
Maybe we are a different speciesā¦.
Oh, and one more thought I just had.
Frustrations are mostly just us pushing against our limits and accepting them as challenges drives us forward.
I will remember that whole piece eventually, and I will find a way to play that chord without the thumb over.
Remember the frustration of trying to play the D chord the first time?
Yes, itās something i have to get used to. I was just expecting that after quickly picking up the F barre and then easily moving that shape up and down the neck, that power chords would be a quite easy. Turns out that muting strings is not so easy.
Iāll get there in the end!
Actually, I donāt skip any modules because, even if a module doesnāt look as interesting as some others, itās often a nice surprise and turns out to be very enjoyable. I wasnāt too excited about learning finger style and really wanted to move onto module 12, but then it turned out that I really enjoyed finger style and immediately wanted to do more.
im watching the video ( while working ) and OH MY GOD ! you have to mute the strings 
its getting worse and worse 
As its only Top 1 Iād say sextuplet licks !!
After all the licks we have learnt during BLIM there are 2 in the last unit that are doing my head in. There is a slow medley containing these licks at just 50 BPM so super super slow but with the equivalent of 24 notes in a 4 beat bar that works out at a crazy 300 BPM. But I wonāt be beaten by them oh no sir, they will be tamed !!
Frustrating ? Not arf, said Fluff.
Unwanted string noise!!
Iāve spent the best part of 3 years learning how to make a noise with the guitar and now Iām trying to learn how to keep the damn thing quietā¦!!
Palm muting. I canāt seem to get the ābounceā and end up with a dull thud
Funnily enough, Toby, I came across a lick with sextuplets in it the other day and it looked wild but I gave it a go. The best I could do was split the beat in two and count it as:
1 2 3 + 2 3 2 2 3 + 2 3ā¦etc
Might be worth a try.
1-e-trip-e-let-e-2-e-trip-e-let-eā¦
Say that fast after a couple of festive drinks
Its not counting or playing it. Iām good for the equivalent 210 BPM plus which is 70%.
It is playing it at tempo
I smashed my Kemper by tripping over it 
now got to sort out getting it fixed; more
That and I STILL canāt play Key to the Highway which I marked down as the No1 Blues song to learn this year. Itās worse than that, I havenāt even started practising it because I havenāt decided how and which version to learn it yet. The Eric Clapton version is not really my favourite one. I really like the recordings of Brownie McGhee but I have to figure that one out by myself so there you go. Excuses excuses excuses and annoyance with myself.
Am struggling before a couple of drinks! 
Start out slow then get the missus to tap the tempo up when youāre not looking. 
Playing faster sections in general is a major problem. I do practice this and it is improving, but very slowly.
