    I just wanna actually pick up my guitar and practice and learn… It’s right there. I can see it. I have the desire, the motivation, and the time. And yet I can’t. 😬

    I hate it. I hate it so fucking much. It’s like being trapped in a prison but the prison is your own body.

      Then let’s apply this post. Here’s your steps:

      Tune the guitar. Tuna is an app that will make it help, there’s hundreds or physical tuners. This will take between 3 and 20 minutes

      Look up tabs for a song. Wonderwall or zombies by the cranberries are very easy to learn

      Do the finger positions and strum them. Focus on the transitions between fret positions. Do you for 10-20 minutes

      Listen to the song, over and over. You can put it at half speed, but after you feel you know it in your bones start to play along. Focus on the strumming pattern and making the notes ring clear… It’ll be rough at first but keep at it. This could take 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on your standards

      And if this works, let me know. I’m self taught on the guitar with ADHD… My brother taught me the basics, and then I hyper focus on certain songs now and again. I’m not particularly good, but I can learn anything on any stringed instrument if I hyper focus on it
