Damn right I am. I've been following Justin "HEYahowyadoin!" Guitar, and I'm currently doing beginner course 2.
Just learned Wonderwall today, with the right strumming pattern and all.

Drop D and Soundgarden songs were the first time I had a smile on my face at my own playing. Outshined. Learn that shit. You'll feel cooler.

It fuckin blows when you havent played in forever so you cant just pick up and get the satisfaction of playing some fun riffs and licks. Fawk.

I find it's even more difficult to actually play along to songs. As soon as I mess up, I stop and get completely lost. When you just play by yourself, you ignore the mistakes and the little breaks you take, and you sort of trick yourself you're better than you are.

Expectation:
Reality:
But seriously folksh. Any guitar playing brothamen here with some tips for a beginner? I can easily play power chords and I'm a drummer, so I at least have decent musicality, but I can't just pick up a guitar and play something that sounds good on its own. Should I look up instruction videos or what?
Been playing for 20 years. Just look up tabs of your favorite band's songs and start trying to play them. You'll suck at first but eventually you'll get an entire song down well enough to play it with the actual record and most get pretty hooked from there.
If you want to speed up the process, start practicing scales whenever your hands are free. You'll probably hear a lot of people repeat this because it's really the most reliable way to learn the instrument quickly.
Watching TV? practice scales. Long work call that you don't actually need to be on? Mute the mic and practice scales. Staring straight ahead at the wall trying to pinpoint the moment that the wheels really fell off your life and lead you to become the worthless piece of shit you currently are? Practice minor scales to give it a backing song.
But most importantly, just stick with it and play as often as you can. Don't let frustration obscure your ability to see the progress you've made.

There's so many free lessons on YouTube that you shouldn't have much of a problem.

I just learned how to use the looper on my pedal. Soon I'll be able to go straight into Layla, just like Eric does!

you need to play until you've got little toughened pads on the end of your fingers, not even joking.

DM me for lessons.
Normally I could swing $30 and hour.
But for a fellow pest? Mm, $45.
