Try to learn guitar

I know for me it has to do with the fact that when I'm laying in bed or going about my day and imagine trying to draw or write something I can actually trick myself into thinking it'll be good since I know a decent amount of theory. That feels good and sometimes I start imagining the great stuff I could come up with if I just kept at it and tried my best.

Then I actually sit down and the reality that I have no talent or the will power to struggle through with hard work hits me like a truck and I've ripped up whatever I was working on within a few minutes of starting.

These last few weeks of sitting at home it's happen more than once but I just give up at this point.

WELL, THERES A LOT TO UNPACK HERE!

Seriously though lad you must have anger issues, lacking in the ability to delay gratification, got your head in the wrong place motivation wise for learning a guitar in the first place etc etc.

Come here brother, for I know that feel.

Why is learning new things so shit? How can people like it? I don't understand

you really have to be a masochist, I know from a long experience, it's just pure pain and later you just learn to enjoy the pain

No, learning skills is immensely rewarding if you havent had your brain ruined by instant gratification fast food culture.

The feeling of spending 100 hours (not long at all in the grand scheme of life) learning an instrument to discover progress is orgasmic, then you continue, then you continue, before you know it youre a master. Its not easy, youre just bygoing instant pleasure like sex, drugs and alcohol for something tat will get you far greater rewards

You're all such big fucking babies. This guy is right to an extent. You like the idea of having a skill but you're too impatient/lazy/easily frustrated to do it. Change your attitudes or you'll always be a failure

you know this is bullshit deep down

Useless white people garbage anyway. Dead genre too much work and shit.

Make rap beats. It is actually the robot genre cause you can sell the beats online.

not everyone can become a master no matter how many hours they put into it. most become shitty guitarists, some become mediocre. must suck too after all that hard work

No its not because ive personally spent hundreds (thousands) of hours messing with video editing as a kid

But I liked it so it was more of a curiosity rather than a slog. Now its my full time job.

So I started learning the piano. Only about 100 hours in. But When I played some songs to my parents they were amazed and now im composing music for my videos. It takes a long time to reap the benefits but I feel so complete when it happens.

Yes I agree. But when you start comparing yourself to the masters thats when youve failed. Why cant you set your own goals that you compare to the past you?

>Nigger music
>Mumbling over melodies that were composed by whites

You do realize that early rappers started the whole sampling thing by taking music composed by German and British musicians, right? Not to mention that some of the greatest composer who ever lived were Europeans?

I would consider the process of learning to ride a bike interesting enough though

But I still don't understand why people romanticize these things without actually wanting to do them, even as a master player you're still learning. If you don't like the process, you won't succeed and even if you force yourself, the reward itself will be underwhelming.

just look up tabs and pick an easy song. Play the intro to the seven nation army. You'll wana keep going.

I believe in quality learning versus quantity, so it doesn't have to get frustrated.

You don't feel like a retard at all, if you enjoy the thing you do -the exploration is the part that is truly rewarding and the reward is there for you alone and no one else. Learning a skill for social status is not the way to go.

>tune it to drop d
>cover the 3 largest strings with one finger
Now every time you play a note on the low E string (now low d), you're playing an entire chord. Easy.

if you're tipping over every 5 feet you aren't doing the same thing a person that can ride a bike does, in fact from an experiential viewpoint the two are only related by the fact they are done with a bike.

>At 25 I think I'm too old to ever really master anything any more,
And you are. You can still learn, but trying to master anything will be like smashing a square peg into a round hole.

this is only true after the very beginning. it honestly sucks not even being able to play a simple chord progression or a very basic melody but once you are able to play some simple songs at full speed the learning becomes fun
