People always look at the end results, want it, but don't see how much work and practice it takes to get there. It's always the motivation to overcome the difficult frustrating parts in the beginning, that is the hardest part. This is true for most anything: learning an instrument, learning how to program something the first time, learning how to draw art, many different crafts and sports...

But as you improve, it's like it becomes more and more self-sustaining. At some point, it stops feeling like a chore and actually feels kind of pleasureful to just pick up and play something, anything, for a few minutes.

That said, I've been playing guitar for 20 years now, I have certainly improved and enjoy playing, but there's always room for improvement. And to continue improving, still has some of a frustrating element to it. I suppose that's just how it is when it comes to improvement. No pain no gain, as some people say.
