You'll never make progress again like you do in the first 6 months. It's a slow improvement from there on. Record yourself often and date the recordings. Play the same thing at future intervals, 6 months, a year, etc. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the progress you've actually made if you commit to this and practice like you should. Also, learn music theory. I can't understand why people are so averse to it. It makes you better in every way.
I'm not a great guitar player but the above was the best advice I received on my guitar journey.

I’d say with the wealth of resources available today, moving into theory can actually be a temptation that you go into too early before the practical/physical guitar skills truly develop. I’m 21 and gen Z has almost too many resources starting out. If you look up how to play Seven Nation Army on YouTube, you’ll get bombarded by videos telling you that you need to know every scale and how to use them to be a “good guitarist”. It can lead to a lot of useless practice/burn out for those who can’t readily see what videos are meant for beginners vs advanced players.
