It's been couple of years since the day I started playing guitar. And currently still not able to play a fast lick over the fretboard. I tried watching multiple videos but still my finger moves the way it was before.

Keep practising. Practise a lick every day over and over and gradually push yourself to go a bit faster.

@JudyEv, thanks for that advice. I actually do daily practice holding my electric guitar while watching tutorials online. By the way, I hope you and your sister will definitely see each other soon.

@TheHorse I haven't noticed any videos. You can send me the link. I must go to bed now. It's past midnight in Central Europe.

Hello kabayan! Welcome to mylot! Sorry I cannot help you with that as I do not know how to play guitar. But the only thing you can do is practice and practice and I am sure eventually, you will get there

@Dhabie04 NO. NO. NO. I have no talents for the arts I think. Ahaha I bake, cook, read, do cross stitch. I like to dance and sing but the songs does not like me one bit and I am maybe two to three seconds delayed with the song choreography

@raksi, hi there, too. No worries, everyone seems to try playing any of the instruments even singing or dancing. Do you sing or dance?

@rakski That's fine. We are all born with unique talents and preference. Maybe you have talent in cooking or baking since those are your common/daily routine.

I teach my guitar students to practice scales. I am a professional, but I am not a particularly "fast" player. I prefer "tasty."

@Dhabie04 Can you work on the essential chords, like D, G, C, and A? And then learn some of the essential scales, like G, and C. Once you have those, you can play many of the songs that exist if the Filipino, American, and (etc.) musical lexicon.

@TheHorse, that's cool. I wish I could go to your place so that we can play together and at the same time teaching me with all your mastery about playing guitar.

That's one of my bucket lists to learn how to play the guitar but I think it's too late for me to learn it.

@musicman6 They say it will be difficult for me to learn because my fingers are not easily can bent due to my age.
