Well I have bought a guitar. Never picked one up before and had been looking at the best guitar for a beginner.
I have dj'ed for years and messed about with synths. But, everything sounds a little rigid and predictable. So I have taken the plunge.
I have had one lesson and just stringing a few chords together. Not going to lie, I am finding it kind of difficult. I am also trying to work out a comfortable position to play.
Last night though, I programmed a basic drum pattern into Ableton, sequenced A, E, G, & C on a M1 plug in and tried to play the chords over the top. I had to go about 60 BPM. But, it put a right smile on my face, even though it sounded atrocious.

Keep going it will click if you persist

I will keep going mate. I can read a little bit of music and theory. Learning to mix and scratch was a steep learning curve and I don't expect any different with guitar.

Just got a Hendrix "Woodstock" model Strat,white with maple birds-eye neck.
Put it on a stand and just sit looking at it for long periods of time.
Got it to replace my Buddy Holly sunburst re-pro Strat which has been misbehaving on gigs,so I'm planning a garden burial for it,with full honours,i.e. beer and burgers and hoisting a stars and bars.

It's hard at first mate or it certainly was for me. Don't quit though most give up to soon.

I won't mate.
I want to write songs. No interest in being a shredder. I struggle being musical with synths and drum machines.

Very interesting interview, the piece he plays at 35minutes is mind boggling.

Watched this the other day - he’s an amazing talent!
You might be interested in these as well - one diluted by Mateus Asato (imho not a bad thing)
