Everybody gets discouraged at some point in time. Do NOT give up. If you keep at it, there's a chance that someday you'll get what you want. If you give up, then it's never gonna happen! The worst thing that can happen is that you don't make it big-but, if you really love music, then it wasn't a waste of your time, because you spent it doing something that you loved!

To become a good player you must not only play well but understand music theory as it is applied to certain elements such as chords, scales, arpeggios, and harmony. This all lies within the realm of music theory which you should also put into your practice for this expands your music knowledge and when you listen to your favorite players, you will understand better what it is they do and why they do it that way. Don't try to get too discouraged if music is what you love. Nothing comes overnight and you can be just as good or better than many others. It's all a process.

I think it depends on how often you play and what kind of music you play - so long as you practice, you'll get good, but there's no timeline. If you read about really great musicians, the time they spent practicing varies from 1 to like, 10+ years before they started playing shows and stuff. Just keep playing, always push yourself and try new stuff to learn new techniques, and you'll be rocking out in no time.

Average people do not become stars. Stars often work for years and are dedicated to their instrument. A year is relatively nothing for professional musicians unless you were playing almost constantly, which you werent. If you are serious drop the poor poor pitiful me stuff, suck it up and start practicing without breaks of a couple of weeks. This is WORK.

At your rate,never. If you can't enjoy playing, then you will never be a rock star. " If you just want to be a star, fate will beat you like a gong, if you want to pick up that old guitar, just do it for the sake of the song." Cris Wall.
