Q: I've been learning guitar messily on and off but I really haven't made much progress. I wanna advance but I can't see any clear path forward and I don't know what to do or where to go, I'm watching friends of mine get better and I want to be like them but don't know how. I know some chords pretty decently, I don't know what to practice or just at all how to progress. Can you help me please? I don't know how to go forward.
A: i think it's time to either jump into a band or start producing your own music. think about this: before you played guitar, what are some of the ways guitar was used in ways that were involved in your life? in other words, what were some of the products you consumed that used guitars to make it? (music you've listened to, etc, other ways guitars have contributed to your content consumption). start thinking about your role in similar such products (or something different, if you wish such thing existed)
