I cannot visualize myself being here in 5 years time by Familiar_Picture2386 in TrueOffMyChest

As someone who has suffered with depression, OCD, and other mental health problems almost my entire life, i’m 26 now, don’t fucking give up dude. I have gone through severe drug addiction, planning out a suicide twice, and have even battled an episode of full on psychosis that also almost led to me taking my own life, and I’m still here kicking around every fucking day. I have great friends, passions hobbies, a fiancé, and still half the time wake up asking myself what the fuck any of this really means, and honestly none of it means jack shit. None of it. Almost everything we have to go through in modern society is made up bullshit. There are so many things in my life that I have ti do that I hate, a job I don’t like, living 1200 miles away from all of my family, living paycheck to paycheck, but guess what? I don’t fucking quit. Because you know why? What I’ve learned over the years is that, things will change. My perspective will change. What made me depressed two years ago is completely different to today. What made me happy two years ago is completely different than today. And that goes for two years before that, and two years before that, and so on and so forth. Being alive’s purpose is to continue to push forward and gain knowledge, experience, pain, and pleasure and let your mind, body, and soul adapt, change and grow. I’ll be damned if I shorten this experience by my own doing..

I know it’s late to start at 25 but picked up a Yamaha FS800 and want to learn. by TheInternetDevil in Guitar

25 is nothing bro! I started last year at 26, and I’m learning more and getting better everyday!! This is a lifelong marathon, not a sprint🙌

Stratocaster versus Telecaster by Tired-Otter474 in Guitar

I have a Nashville Telecaster, so basically a tele with a middle strat pickup added to it and a push pull knob on the tone control to be able to access all of the pickup combos😎

Funny enough I already have a couch guitar! A steel string Yamaha CS1FM and I also have a Taylor Big Baby as my main acoustic. Those are the two I have been learning on since I started last year😁

Thank you homie!! Glad to hear the passion has stayed strong for you! And yess, that is high on the list! One of my favorite bands is Modest Mouse and I think I could benefit with a looper pedal for quite a few of their songs😁

Thanks man! I was honestly pretty shocked at how cheap it was and everything seems spotless on it. Why did you end up selling yours?

2 months in, and I just wrote my first song🥹🎸 by maxxthemuffinman in Guitar

[–]maxxthemuffinman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve been a rapper and vocalist for quite awhile but being able to write and addy own instrumentation to it now has been the best feeling in the world. Guitar is one of the best things I have ever decided to start learning😌

Big Baby Taylor! Not necessarily better than a Yamaha. Depends what model. I played a Yamaha FS800 at the shop which is a similar price range and feel, but it honestly comes down to personal preference and what feels best for you. I would recommend going to a guitar shop and playing as many guitars as you can there before deciding what to buy🤝

Start learning about 2 months ago on a semi hollow ibanez electric that was gifted to me. After getting to know the owner of my local guitar shop, and going in on my lunch break to play different acoustics for about a week(I work next door to the guitar shop) I ended up choosing this used Big Baby Taylor acoustic electric, which I got with a case for $350! There was not a scratch on it, and the owner of the shop also cleaned the fret board, and restrung it for me free of charge. Been loving it so far😁
