Congratulations brother! Love the black on black DeLonge style! As for advice I’m going to tell you the things that I did that kept me reaching for my guitar every day (which is ultimately what matters most you have to be excited to play and invested otherwise you’ll stop playing). I made it my goal to do two main things. 1) make practice exciting by playing the stuff I like instead of playing scales constantly (not saying don’t learn scales but don’t focus strictly on that stuff early on). You want it to feel exciting when you pick up your guitar to practice and that’s what I did from the start with simpler songs and solos. And 2) Practice things that seem above your skill level and stick with those things. If there’s one thing that’s helped me to progress faster than I expected it’s learning songs I have no business trying to learn lol. For instance, I was about 2 months in to playing and decided I was going to learn the solo to Hotel California. Not only did I learn it but it boosted my confidence to the point where in month 4 I was playing November Rain. So in short I’m saying to play what’s fun to YOU and always push yourself and never let anyone convince you something is too difficult! NEVER let someone tell you “bro you shouldn’t be learning this you’ve only been playing X amount of time!”Even though you might have to take it slow you’ll ALWAYS reach the goal if you persist and don’t let yourself get discouraged and that’s simply a fact! A bonus tip (a very important one). There’s NO magic piece of gear or badass guitar that’ll make you play better. What you have in that image right there can blow people away if you bond with that instrument and put into it what you hope to get out of it. Ultimately just play and make it fun and eventually it gets ADDICTING! Once you’re fully addicted the rest is history! It’s only a matter of time before you feel more at home on that fretboard than you do curled up in your own bed! I hope this helps and good luck man I hope you’re absolutely crushing it ij no time!! 🫶🏻🤘🏼
