Can any of you guitar players help me?

Question

I'd like to know if one of you can recommend a web page or other source for guitar players to improve speed, tone, or just overall? (all genres)

I'm 29 and I've played the guitar half my life. When i was younger all of my friends seemed impressed and some people even speculated that I'd be famous someday. Fame isn't everything, what really matters to me is love of music, but I keep wondering if I could have been, or if it is too late now.

I just want to be great, just for the love of music, but I am so unhappy with my command of the instrument, I practice for two hours a day, classical and electric, and sometimes my idea of being great, seems absolutely nuts, but I can't give up because I don't have it in me to give up.

If you can help me thanks! I am so grateful!!

I'd suggest stressing less on "what could have been," and spend more energy on "making the music" you love.

Once you have mastered technique, and feel you have gotten as far along as you can in proficiancy, you can, either, seek out a professional instructor or coach (which can be VERY expensive), or, you can find like minded people to "jam" with.

I don't mean that you should form a band or anything like that, but, just find people who like to play and play along with them.  It really matters little at what level they play.  The synergy that developes when different minds meld on a similar track can translate to new and exiting paths for your playing.  EVERYONE brings different experiences to a jam session, and everyone else can benefit from those other experiences.

The exchange of ideas, information, techniques and music benefits all who participate.  You can seek out regulars, with whom you play with every week, or, just hang out somewhere that musicians may congregate, such as a park, or recreation hall.  I remember the countless hours I spent, sitting next to a cool rock at the beach, noodling away on my acoustic, and then find myself jamming with someone walking by with a harmonica, bongos, or another guitar.

I recall one bright day, at a park where a guitarist sat down and began playing with me.  He got slightly frustrated when I couldn't keep up, so, he taught me some barre chords and said, "Practice these for a while.  I'll be back in an hour or so."  I did, and he came back.  We continued playing for most of the rest of the day.  During that time we picked up a conga player, one who had an African kalimba and a couple of female singers.  That jam session went on until dark when the park ranger said he had to close up for the night.
