Hi Ray! Any advice for adult amateur musicians who might be struggling with feelings of inadequacy or feeling frustrated with lack of progress?

I believe when people have feelings of frustration or inadequacy from lack of progress, it speaks to their personal metric for success. If you shift your mindset of what determines success for you (for eg. If your goal is to be able to play with others or if you're measuring how well you play against others) then you'll be in a much happier and healthier mindset that allows you to enjoy music.
