make your own music

if you want to hear a certain song sometimes you gotta make it first (as an added bonus this usually takes 100+ tries)

so many ways to go about it

i can probably give better tips based on knowing what you want to sound like or be able to do ~ but that said there's some basic guides that go a long way compartmentalize the things you wanna learn and do intensives just focusing on that one new technique at a time. like just fingerpicking, or just slide, or just learning new chord shapes and scales, etc. while guitar is this creative tool, it's also highly physical. often times you're going to understand the new musical concept mentally quicker than you can actually do it with your hands. so be patient, and think of it sometimes more like doing push-ups vs playing a sport. you gotta workout and be strong in order to play 🤪 - take your time with new things, always play things as slow as possible in the beginning. when you get better you'll naturally be able to play faster - learn to play with a pick and without a pick. give your rhythm hand max. flexibility - if theres an artist or specific guitarist you like or wanna be like, study them. this is like extracurricular homework but it goes a long way to just watch or listen to your inspos on repeat - learn other peoples songs - you always pick up a new trick - look up every single way to play the same chord up and down the neck. learning new chords is like buying new clothes -start to learn the kind of guitar you want to be playing - owning an instrument you're excited to play makes it fun - read and understand basic major and minor chords and scales, you'll begin to see how everything is connected and how the language works - which allows you to write your own things and improv and mess around more - memorize frets by their note name, so your association is quick and you can learn stuff faster - play in front of the t.v. on mute - worked for me 🤙

Start by recording them on your phone

just a simple phone recording can be a good start. the most important thing is to have a good song and the best songs can be conveyed with a guitar/piano and vocals. The rest is just ear candy
