Is it normal to feel depressed

Ive been playing guitar for two years and i really suck. I can only play one song. Ive tried learning more but i just cant make it sound right. I practice for about an hour throughout the day, maybe 20 minutes at a time. I feel depressed when i play because i feel that ill never reach my dream of being a musician.

    Make sure you learning a song that you really love, so you get that great feeling when you start to get it. And if you get frustrated put down the guitar and do something else; only play because you're enjoying it.
    It can be really frustrating but you'll get there.

    Keep focusing on what you are doing. Some people are slow at learning, but when they do, they sound amazing. Keep practicing and maybe practice for 1 hour straight this time. I've been playing violin for 9 years and I practice 2 hours a day, 1 hour at a time, and I write what the notes stand for below the notes so it will be easy for me to read. That helps :)

    I am in the same boat as you though my dream isn't to be a musician anymore I've sorta buried that dream but I just play guitar I've been playing for almost a year now and I suck and it's frustrating. I can only play about 3 chords. I have an ear for music but I can't seem to play an instrument though I can sing. What you can do is keep doing what you're doing practice practice and practice take it easy and it'll come naturally. Hi5 you can play one song I can't even play a verse of a song(err should listen to my own advice. Chin up you'll get what you get and you'll like it

    It's normal to feel depressed about failing to achieve a goal. Have you really failed though? You can already play one song, that's more than most people.
    Try recording you playing on your phone, and listen to it later. I'll bet it's much better than you think.
    Also, forking out for even one lesson from someone with a lot of experience can be a BIG help.

    Try sucking cocks. You sound like a whiny cocksucker to me. Most guitarists suck cocks too. Give it a shot. Swallow some cum too while you are at it.
