Yeah I didn't even start to think of playing barre chords until I had been playing for at least a year. Now I am starting to use them a little at a time. Hotel California is the one that I use for practice, but I am always on the lookout for more songs that use them. All I can say is practice and then practice some more. You'll eventually get better.

Good luck!

To reiterate what everyone else has said; welcome. We are glad you are here. Like mekids, I have only been playing or a few months but I try to practice everyday although I tend to "try" to jam and sometimes I think I sound better than I really do. Basically I am driving my family crazy with my my practicing, but I figure they will get over it. Keep up your practicing and don't give up.

I  understand what you mean. I started out playing the dulcimer a long time ago, and I just recently started guitar. I love playing both and I have found that learning one helps me to get better on the other.

I am the same way. I tend to use the same strmming pattern over ad over, until I learn a song, and then I begin to branch out to using different patterns.
