well i've taken guitar lessons for several years, but with teachers i guess i lucked out because most of my memories of lessons were quite good. idk, most of the teachers i had were more easygoing than most, while they didn't let up as far as throwing crazy excercises at me, they wouldn't really have that militant attitude about music. possibly because i was a teenager then, but the teachers i had were guys i could have regular conversations with, like buddies you play with.
as for feelings of frustation, i think every musician feels that, but really that's the thing that should be pushing you to do better. honestly Lateralus i think you'll be able to do great on the bass with enough time and dedication, just like many other skills.
