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 strumming is a nightmare I agree, but even the simplest songs that only require 2 strings without wide strumming are impossible, accidentally muting the strings, not pressing enough, moving the fingers fast, using your pinky… Is such an impossible instrument

      Dude it’s just practice… Id suggest spending 50 bux on a classical guitar, the nylon strings and far enough apart and gentle on your hands. You’ll be amazed.

            Months. Not years, I would NEVER try anything that take that long, not even videogames

              You must think people pick up guitar and are touring with their bands in “months”? Sir, that’s not how it works. That’s not now ANYTHING in life works. The fact you brought up video games for some odd reason makes me think you must be a kid. Practice and hard work is what’s going to make up your whole life. Guitar may not be for you but many things in life are going to challenge you.

              Best of luck.

                The typical “hur dur videogames are for childs” in what decade are you living, the 80s?

                Sucking for months isn’t fun, that’s it. Also bands are literally doing THEIR JOB. Of course they can’t be doing and practicing that for just months.

                  So you insult people too?

                  You’re a disrespectful, baby! Crying on the internet about how lazy you are. Looking for attention.

                  You need to put down your phone more. People don’t interact in meme format in the real world. Get your shit together.

                  Man, most bands start as a group of friends playing together for fun. Yes, sucking isn’t fun - the fun comes from surmounting those obstacles and seeing yourself improve. I sucked at Dark Souls when I first picked it up, but I wanted to be good, so I sat down and practiced parrying against basic enemies until I could get it consistently. I suck at guitar too, it hurts my fingers and makes my hands cramp and it wasn’t worth it to me to push through that to get good.

                  You know what I did about it? I sold my guitar on craigslist and moved on. I didn’t go on the internet and whine about it, nor did I get impudent with people who took the time to offer me advice - really rather good advice, in this thread. Your attitude sucks. Adjust that, and then either sit down and practice or find a new hobby. Nobody gives a shit that being bad makes you sad.

                  Wow.

                  Have you ever heard of the band class in school? I remember the first year students end of the year concert. Guess what? It was terrible. But then next year they played better songs and people improved. Then by high school you had some really talented kids playing instruments like it’s second nature. We had “rock bands” forming among the students and battle of the bands competitions would take place. Very rarely does someone come along as a prodigy.

                  You want the answer to the question you asked on the body of this post?

                  You’re lazy. And by the looks of how you interact with people… You’re rude and unpleasant.

                    That’s not a reality where I live so fuck me I guess. Also I’m an adult. Not a “kid from a band”
