I regret buying a guitar, I can’t even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube… I dunno if it’s laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like… Maybe a mix of both?

    The most important part about learning a musical instrument is consistent practice.

    1 hour twice per week is not as good as 20 minutes every single day. And you do have to play every day if you want to improve. Work on one thing at a time and most importantly: use a metronome.

    Guitar is a meditation exercise: you have to learn to love the process. If you aren’t having fun, maybe it just isn’t for you.

      This. Except the metronome part, which is optional.

        Yep. If you are not having fun, probably pick something else… Although you have to know that sometimes you have struggling stages and you should persist.
