this happens to anyone and everyone(the frustration)
don't be frustrated. ur very lucky u can acquire gear in some ways.
back in the mid 90s i know one very talented guitarist who doesn't have any gear,
he mostly practice with his cousin's borrowed acoustic.
to play an electric guitar he goes to his friends,
then trying out gears in Yamaha, RJ, and Perfect Picth music stores.
he does this just to keep practicing...because he doesn't have any gear yet.
he's one of the best and most versitile guitar players i know.
here's one important tip he told me.
he told me to go out and search for local guitar players who can play really good.
attend guitar clinics whenever there's one.
if you can afford then go overseas to see int'l guitar players. watch their live gigs.
and as others suggested hang out not only with good guitarist but with good musicians.
watch every move they do. how they deliver notes.
learn too appreciate good drummers,bass players,keyboardist,singers...all musicians.
approach them and make friends with them.
hear their stories on their way up to become a musician.
these people will guide you what you need to do.
just by watching a good musician closely no matter what instrument they use
can actually make you a better player in a very big way.
for me this is a very fulfilling and very inspirational experience.
it never lets me down.
whenever i see a good guitar player it pumps me up.
makes me wanna go home and turn on the metrinome at 200bpm.
