Diplomatically says all that needs to be said.

IMV&E guitar is a [u]lengthy[/u] journey to establishing a personal high level of accomplishment, one which will always require a degree of [u]recency[/u] in the "if you don't use it you lose it" sense.

If one has a conflicting all consuming higher priority truly demanding time and energy, or isn't enjoying the actual journey that is guitar so as to be unable to maintain inherent self-motivation, do the tutorials and commit to a consistent practise schedule required to attain the eventual summit through keeping it in mental sight and visualising it with imagination, then maybe it's just not for them. There's no shame in not doing something you don't truly enjoy deep down inside. And it's near impossible to maintain mojo for the distance in any pursuit where that isn't present IMLE. Quitting because something is hard work. Well...that's more of a character issue and something for each individual to determine for his or herself.

Review and see if you [u]really want to[/u] overcome the stumbling block. The desire and motivation to sustain the long term has to come from within, and ultimately that comes from [u]the joy of the journey[/u] in anything.
