It would help to see the error.
I should mention the Arduino as ISP now requires a 10uF capacitor between Reset and Gnd, the stripe toward Gnd.
You should get to the point where you are told the chip signature is wrong
avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e950f (probably m328p)
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328 is 1E 95 14
Double check chip,
You are going to have a great Arduino background before you ever run one of your own sketches.
