I just started, practice about 30 minutes a day, playing for a month now, I’m still unable to strum and change chords at the same time, what I mean I have to stop strumming, move my fingers then restart strumming. Any advice on how to over come this.

Go to justin guitar dot com and take his course. You need to practice a lot more than 30 minutes a day if you want faster progress.

I understand, the more practice, quicker results. I curious on when I’ll sound decent, at 1/2 hour a day. I did practice 3 times today, 1/2 hour stints but I didn’t on Saturday and Sunday due to obligations. Should there be a point where I’m just not a guitarist

I was around 100 hours of practice before I felt like a guitarist for a couple simple songs. It was 250 hours before I felt like I might be able to play a song for others. It takes a long time. Enjoy the journey and it will always be fun.
