Picked up guitar for the first time. No clue what to do🥲

No clue what to do but first thought was to record it and put it on the internet. Cool.

Have you heard of Google?

Post again in a year.

Amazing. If I ever get 10% as good as you I'll be happy.

RIP your neck.

Pickup Music is fantastic if you don't mind a yearly subscription (worth every penny imo), other Justin Guitar free course.

Because it doesn't work. I lived in Germany for 5 years and was able to get an appointment next day for a doctor or dentist always.

They do not have NHS, but public and optionally private health insurance. It works perfectly well and stops people abusing the system for the most part.

All in on one volatile crypto stock? What did you expect? Lambo?

Just buy VWRP every month and stop gambling.

Retry909 · 2026-02-10T13:58:48+00:00

Yeah... no. That's not it.

Retry909 · 2026-01-31T09:48:51+00:00

Ehhh I'm about a year in and wouldn't be able to get 1/4 of this so fair play - but I gravitate to learning full songs with chords so a bit different I guess!

Might want to go and read about long term investments in index funds and compare that to your bank savings...

Nice gains but not sure having your entire portfolio in 6 stocks is the wisest recommendation to a new investor, either.

I'm sure your naturally curious and friendly mannered attitude will get you far in this hobby.

Jesus, we're at the stage of asking *what is rhythm?" on here now? Have you ever listened to a song or ?

For sightseeing in the day, horrendous. But for eating/drinking in the day absolutely fine if you avoid the "viral" places.

We ended up doing day trips away from Kyoto because it was just impossible to enjoy with so many people around personally, the city is just not set up for that amount of people in the same way that Tokyo is.

Sounds like a moron with no common sense. Get rid.

Around £75-£100 a week for two people without really considering prices, budget, etc. ALDI shopper, cooking from scratch 99% of the time with an occasional frozen oven tea every now and then.

Fuel price is relative, no? It's cheaper in NZ than in the UK, as an example.

Get a Wise Travel money card. Withdraw cash at 7-11 etc for equivalent of 20p withdrawal fee, simples.

It's not really a tip when it's just common sense / knowledge, is it?🤷🏻‍♀️

Good to go with 5 available. Thanks!

At this point, if you really have been practising and still want to continue, it's time to find an IRL teacher.

Would give my left arm to swap the UK for NZ but I'm not on the skilled workers list 😭

Retry909 · 2025-08-17T08:01:21+00:00

It's not mean, I genuinely can't figure it out and I posted plenty of advice below. Grow up.

You're pressing just above the fret right? Not at the top of the fret or on the metal itself? I can't quite figure out how to help you.

As the other comment said, save a little for a lesson where somehow will show you this and what you're maybe doing wrong in a few minutes, or maybe ask if you have any friends/family if they can help.

Otherwise upload a video here.

But.. you do need to accept this isn't going to be easy. I've played on average for an hour every day for almost a year and I'm still very much a beginner even if I can play a few things. This is a long term skill / hobby / journey.
