Why we gave up on learning how to play an instrument? (lemm.ee)

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?

Honestly. Start playing guitar hero and rock band. Not even joking.

They teach help you coordinate your two hands together in a very fun way.. Assuming you enjoy the music in those games.

More importantly though is what are you trying to do by learning guitar? Are you just wanting to sing a few songs around a campfire? So you want to be a lead guitarist leading those wicked solos or a classical virtuoso with amazing technique?

Musicians come in many forms what is your purpose? What does success look like to YOU?

Already finished world tour and warriors of rock 10 years ago. Is a damn toy and not playing for real.

Ahh no i didn't mean as a substitute. If you already played them then they arent going to help you.

If you enjoyed them, you might then want to check out rocksmith as it uses your real guitar. I however cant wrap my head around the UI in that one so its rough for me, but you might have a way better experience with it than me

Also a friend who is an amazing musician did a lot of content on yousician but i havent used that personally so cant attest to it
