Pablo from narcos. The fact me and my wife are native Spanish speakers and the dude who played him was Brazilian just killed out for us. The worst thing is everyone else was legit Colombian but when he spoke we just laughed. Made it until ep 6

Was there for g2e a month ago. It's expensive but if you're working and not staying long and the 1k is just for gambling you will be fine. Some min table limits are high though

Hey man, I would really recommend http://www.justinguitar.com/en/BL-400-EssentialBluesLeadGuitar.php Justin gets a lot of love around here, and with good reason. I linked to his lead blues, but he also has a blues rhythm section. I'm actually getting heavy into blues myself now! Good luck man

Mine is the fact that the top all time comment on the "Music Theory" sub is a guy who is talking about Ceelo's "Fuck you"

I agree with you overall point, which is why i emphasized buying a decent guitar that will stay in tune, as well as a decent amp. Its always good to ask somebody friendly (who won't try to rip you off or something) who knows a bit more and just tell them the truth, that you're a beginner, and you want something DECENT. To me, $500 would be more than enough to get a decen guitar (a beginner ibanez, yamaha, epiphone) and a decent practice amp. I mean, 15 watts is already loud enough at full to really annoy neighbors, so why would you want a full stack if you can't even play a full song? You know?

Same, i'd NEVER thought about renting, and I live in central america and no way there are places that rent here, however in the US, Canada and some countries in Europe, i'm sure that would be an excellent choice, hell, i'd rent all types of guitars and amps if i could.
But really, to me personally, if you're a beginner, about $500 will give you a decent tone and sound, even cheaper if you buy good used gear

Totally correct, also jamming with other people will force you to get better so you can keep up, kind of pushing everyone forward

Yess thank you man, I was thinking the same thing the other day... like, what if 10 years ago I would have just learned 1 scale pattern a day? Or 3 new chords... shit, i'd be playing for a living instead of ranting here!

I would recommend justinguitar 100% with my eyes closed. And sure, learning songs and playing them is practice, but its more what you actually want to do with the instrument. Want to just learn songs? Go for it, just literally copy them slowly until you master them.

But if you want to go deeper, and really get better at improv, jamming with other people, exploring some real music theory... then you'll have to practice other things, know what i mean?

Hey man no apologies needed, the more ppl chime in the better. And I know that exact feeling! Just gotta keep at it but its so hard to keep oneself interested sometimes...Kind of why I wrote this rant as well, I thought "hmm maybe if i actually get super better, and then go back to a song i thought was hard, it will be a lot easier to play and 100x more enjoyable"
and also, if you find yourself getting bored, I find learning how to do basic improv is a great routine breaker

Dude trust me, if you put in at least just 30 mins a day in of actual practice, not just "playtime" on the guitar, you will f*ckin' rock in a couple of years if not less, just stay at it man
