I got stuck somewhere in the beginner stage for years. I learned how to do a few bar cords and strum the rhythm / chords for some well known songs but could never progress. I purchased a beginners program from an online guitar teacher (Justin Sandacore) a few month ago and it helped enormously. It gave me some good ideas of how to incorporate drills, a couple of picking methods, and a few riffs. I now practice a minimum of 1 hour a day, and often exceed 2. However, I do need to have online interaction with instructors on sticking points, advice on more efficient practicing, and direction in learning to improvise. I am also studying guitar theory (same source mentioned earlier) and would like to connect more dots in that area.
