Moi?

A cheap acoustic guitar from Amazon… That’s what happens when you’re unemployed, you waste that little money you have… I can’t even play it, I though it would be easy to at least pretend to play it but nope, even those “easy to play songs” on YouTube are impossible for me and I’m negated in learning chords, now is a pretty dust collector that I want to destroy.

Also I guess cyberpunk 2077. That game isn’t what it promised to be.

Edit: people, you also can ask about the game, not just the goddamn guitar. Seriously, stop asking about the guitar, the post wasn’t even about music advice.

    If you spent an hour looking at YouTube tutorials and expect to be able to do much, you’re just going to frustrate yourself. I’ve been playing guitar for almost 30 years and I’ve also taught plenty of beginner guitar lessons, and to get anywhere with it you need to practice at least for a few minutes on a regular basis.

    It doesn’t have to take up a big part of your day, you don’t have to spend hours and hours on it, but you do need to do it regularly. For the people I’ve taught I recommend half an hour of practice every day, but even 15 minutes a few times a week will get you to where you can comfortably play simple songs within a month.

    The fact that you’ve bought two guitars now sounds like you really want to learn, but it is going to take work. Even playing as long as I have I still practice often and I still find new things to learn all the time!

      This holds true across pretty much everything, you’re always better off doing a moderate amount of effort regularly over a longer period of time than going all-in for a short period, it’s just being human. Ever since we were hunting mammoths by slowly walking behind them, rather than sprinting.
