>It's easier for guitar novices to stay motivated when everything on the radio had lots of guitars in it.
Statistically when it comes to most things I'm almost always an outlier and I'm unsure as to why that is. Perhaps I'm just a willful person. Ever since I first heard Oasis' Live Forever I wanted to become Liam Gallagher or Noel. Things happened in my life that made it impossible for me to pursue that dream. Then, two years and 11 months ago I thought to myself: hey, nobody is producing radio friendly (pop(ular)) rock'n'roll anymore. I saw it as an opportunity and gave myself three years to write my first song. The fact during these years I never once heard a decent rock'n'roll song on the radio motivated me enourmously to continue practicing. So, six hours a day for almost three years. Practice practice practice. I even called in sick once from my programming gig because I thought I was so near a billboard #1 that, well, I could quit my day job. Well, three years later and I think I am dangerously close to a Swedish top list #1 ;)
Sounds pretty nice, can't understand any of the lyrics as I don't speak or write swedish. Been playing 15 years, and I have yet to write a complete piece. Have improvised with friends a lot, learned a number of songs of interest. Wrote some short music for game jams, but nothing special.
Anyways good luck on producing. So agree with practice practice practice.
