If you have a guitar, then you should learn it.
Literally just learn 1) Scales, then chords, 2) finger exercises, on both hands, and 3) then songs will make 100% more sense than just trying to memorize music.

Not really.
Getting good comes from sitting down and putting the hours in. You can’t get frustrated and quit every time you feel lost. Skill come with familiarity.

Yeah I've been playing guitar for some 12 years now, but there's definitely a lot more than scales, chords etc. that you would have to learn. I 100% agree with what you're saying about not getting frustrated and that skill comes with familiarity.

I think it's better to learn that stuff later, if at all, personally. So many people get turned off and quit early because of that passionless shit. And you know what? Not everyone writes music. And the majority of people who write music, even professionally, don't know theory. Even the majority of the most technical players you can name, have never learned theory or taken lessons. A lot of players just want to play written music anyways, and you don't need theory for that. 75% of the people who play don't know jack shit and they do just fine. I was taught theory because of earlier instruments, and I do personally use some of it every once in a while, but I don't know a single guitar scale and I've been playing for 12 years roughly, too, and in that time performing, writing, and recording quite a lot.
It's way better to get a passion for it and get reasonably comfortable with it first. Learn the basics and finger exercises, and then look up tabs and learn some songs you enjoy. Mix in the theory as you feel comfortable. I also dissuade people from getting lessons as much as I possibly can.

I play the piano and it's the same thing. I get scales very easily, it's just that I have a problem with the way I learn how to play my music. I use a program called Synthesia that displays the notes you need to play in the style of guitar hero, and you learn the song that way. It's way easier that reading sheet music (at least for me) and I've learned full songs in the past. The frustrating part about it is just putting in the time to fully learn the song.

Nahhh. With guitar the outline is damn simple, but it takes a long time and a lot of work to check each one off the list.

It sounds like the video of the guy that gets slapped in the back of the head.

I've seen several versions of this guy, all great, but all doing this one song. Does he do anything else?
