Default yes, it can take that long

IMHO, the answer is yes-- it can take this long. I think if you consider learning to read music, notes, etc. and play an instrument is similar to learning a language (as an adult), then a year or more to build a basic skills is not unusual. What helped my progress was taking affordable weekly group lessons. It continues to be beneficial for me because I can see and hear others at my level receive expert advice and corrections on finger placement, strum patterns, etc. Perhaps you've improved more than you realize. You might want to record (nothing fancy) some of your playing and set it aside. In a few months, assess your progress.
