I've been learning to play guitar for over a year now. I don't have time to practice daily, but I do spend around 3-4 hours a week practicing.
1. I find that I have improved a lot with my right hand control (with Travis picking), but feel I haven't made any progress with fretting fingers(left hand) in a long time. Is this an indicator that I've hit the peak and it won't get any better than this ? Is it time to pursue another hobby
2. The lack of progress is also demoralizing.
3. The fingers on my left hand start hurting after a couple of minutes.
I'd really appreciate any response in this regard.
