No one else's accomplishments can ever diminish your own

>>37076517
But Kurt Gobang wasn't even that good, technically speaking at least.

>>37076517
As someone who has been playing since age 12, there will always be people better than you. You just gotta deal with it.

I'm 18 and bought a guitar 6 months ago. I thought it was too late but I'm getting pretty good. I've practiced everyday since I bought so I've put in the work.

I really love music and if you do too and won't feel like work. If you want to do it stop being a bitch and making excuses.

Disgusting. The jorts of guitars

Why is there no variety in guitar stands?

Secure ones, that hold the neck as well.

I play a dean ml

Muscle memory is what helps you.

Also learning an instrument when you are young isn't always best. I tried to learn the bass at 13 and gave up. Learned the guitar at 18 and have been playing for 9 years.

I still suck but it is a ton of fun

>all these people posting nice guitars
>tfw I play a ten year old fender squier with a broken high E string and a raised bridge on a squier amp

>>37077551
>broken high E string
nigger just buy a new one for like 5 bucks

I'm a NEET with no money and a fear of the outside world, so that's easier said than done.

Yeah it's not the most friendly shape, would have preferred a traditional strat variant.
>>37077496
Awesome gear man, had a lot of fun with that pedal you have when a friend let me try his. You have a favorite amongst those guitars?

>>37077749
Are you not having one single dollar in account?
And
>fear of out side world
Just use amazon

>>37077813
Yes, I have literally 0 dollars. I'm a NEET.
Next Bday or Christmas I'll ask for strings lol.

>>37077780
Probably the Jackson, the neck is super comfy. Gotta get rid of the crappy stock pickups though. They're really shrill. I have the treble backed off really far on my pedal and amp to combat this. It works, but still wanna get better pups anyway.

Is your brain stuck in 1999 or something?

>>37076866
YouTube has tons of great lesson series. That site is my go to for learning new songs. Sometimes they'll even link tabs in the description. YouTube is the ultimate guitar teacher really.

Changing them is pretty fun, wish I could recommend some, but I've been using emg for years now and don't have anything to compare it to. They're also expensive as fuck by themselves.

Just do it for yourself and because it's a lot of fun, you faggot. Instead of comparing yourself with people who have a lot more practice than you, you should give it a try and start practicing and compare yourself only with yourself. I totally suck at guitar, but I certainly suck a lot less than I did when I started playing it.

You're right, thanks for the strong words anon.
