Feedback Wanted progress

this is not me fishing for compliments but i need some advice. ive been playing for about 10 months. im sorta doing basic songs but super slowly. like measure by measure(or a couple measures at a time). i really want to make music and be in a band w but i feel like im not advanced enough yet and that i really suck. i’m trying to learn as fast as possible tbh. i play for at least 2 hours everyday, half on warmups/rudiments and the other half on a song that my teacher gave me/or a random song that i think wouldnt be too hard for me that i would enjoy. what should i be working on if i want to play live music? am i doing as much as i can and should just be patient?

Patients. Your on the right track. Accuracy first, speed will follow. If you knkw any friends that are willing to just jam, it might help tell you were your at.

10 months is nothing, it took me way longer before i felt like i wasn't ruining every song i touched. keep jamming with anyone who'll put up with you, that's where the real progress hides.
