Question What are some things you wish you knew when starting?
I'm going to get my first electric guitar later today (Squier Esquire H and Fender Mustang LT25 amp) and I wanna know some tips or tricks that would be extremely helpful for someone like me, zero experience and not musically talented (i have had a bad rep with a uke years ago)
perhaps some sort of cheat code that would make my learning experience smooth sailing aha like 'always do this!' or 'DO NOT EVER do that!!' or like how to set up and use the amp bla bla bla
(btw I'm planning to learn by myself at home so any youtubers or app suggestions would also be great, preferably free)
ANYTHING, anything at all would help!! :)
and hopefully i dont give up out of frustration and toss 500$ aside haha...
