Having a teacher is great. They might have some way to approach the parts that are difficult for you and "get you over the hump". Just as important, they will make your learning more fun, more stimulating, and help you to tolerate the inevitable unevenness of progress.
All the other input you have already received is really spot on, as well.
I was playing with a friend yesterday, and I was trying some new songs, and forgetting chords because I was listening to him, and a lot of it was just keeping things going a finding places to come back in and trying to stay more focused the next time the same chords came around. It was still a lot of fun, and my wife and neighbors thought we sounded good. Go figure!
