"Amen to the committment thing. It aint easy, but it sure is fun!"
The last word in Bryan's statement is one of the most important things. As long as you're having fun with any instrument, you will learn and you will never learn enough, no matter how long you play, but the day that the fun is gone, more than likely, so is the learning.
Thank you guys so much for the advice. I will take it all in and do whatever it takes to learn. I spend lots of time each day practicing what I know and trying to take that next step with my tabs. Tabs are an easier way for me to learn right now. I listen to cajun music every single minute of the day that I can. Its in my blood. I just want to learn a couple songs from someone just to get me on my feet. Thanks again.
