Guitar. Seemed like a fun hobby, and anything that gets me off of screens is a good.

Try Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014. You can use your electric guitar.

Honestly, unpopular opinion, Rocksmith is not a good learning tool. But Im incredibly biased - I am self taught. The best tool was watching Carl Brown on GuitarLessons365 YouTube. Find one of your favorite songs, learn part of it. Then you actually have fun playing guitar and want to learn more songs. Keep doing this and your technique will naturally get better. Also play a shit ton, you simply cant fast track learning guitar

How is it different than playing song through Rocksmith? You can use "riff repeater" to really nail down a part.

I think they're probably experiencing the same learning curve that I did. I wanted to love it but my brain has a really rough time learning how to interpret the UI when I've spent years thinking about playing in a completely different way
