Hi guys. As some of you know, I'm a huge fan of metal.
Now I think it won't come across as odd at all, to hear that as a big music fan, one cannot help but occasionally think what it would be like to actually be the one playing the music.
Now I'm already making big changes in my life. My diet is going well, and my weight has at least stabilized. I'm going out a lot more, thanks to my close circle of IRL friends.
But I'm still spending most days not doing a lot.
So perhaps, I think to myself, I should start chasing my dreams. I have had a lot of rubbish to deal with growing up, and to say it's stifled my life is, with all due respect, an understatement.
I am not looking for sympathy here; just stating facts.
According to society, stating inside playing video games all day is a waste. I'm actually inclined to agree but I don't know what else to do with my time.
But for some reason, and I say this with a hint of humorous sarcasm, it's downright commendable to stay inside and learn an instrument.
Well, maybe it's time to do that so I can shut up some naysayers.
So going back to the titular question.
Guitarists of the FD community. I love metal. Metal means electric guitars in my case.
What I'm about to say is coming from someone who has next to no practice with any instrument.
Do I start with an electric guitar or should I begin with an acoustic? (To be frank I'm not entirely sure this is the correct terminology)
Listening is great, but I can never help but think, wouldn't it be awesome to be on the other side of the strings?
I'm aware that it would be a long road. But I need to cut down on my screen-time. Thinking logically, an instrument might be the perfect thing for me to learn as I can still stay in the safety of my own home. Indeed, I don't even need to talk to too many people, which is good because I hate situations where people might decide to punch me in the face for existing.
(Based of real experience that last bit)
So, what do you think I should do? Should I continue to mindlessly push buttons for twelve hours a day in video games, or should I try to make something better of myself?
Many thanks in advance.
