  • 15m here too. I don’t know how people do it, but you aren’t alone. I’m exhausted all the damn time, and I don’t see how it’s going to get better. My little guy is a good sleeper, but he kicks the crap out of me when he’s awake, and most of the time and energy I have left when he’s napping or sleeping goes into working and putting the house back together enough to pass as acceptable for human habitation before he can tear it apart again. I haven’t had a decent game session or break in months, and it’s pretty rough. He makes it all worth it though.





  • Awesome man, I’m glad I could help! Remember you’re going to be moving on from your first amp at some point, same with the guitar. I would just get solid pieces to learn on and save for the pro stuff later. A small practice amp that you can easily move room to room is awesome when you start since it can make your first easier to pick up and play anytime you’re chilling out. Make sure it has a way to plug in some headphones so you can practice without waking anyone that might live with you. Always do the bulk of your learning/practice with a clean tone so it’s easy to identify any mistakes. Throw on the effects when you are having fun or finding your tone.




  • No amp is totally fine to start, and it’s better to practice unplugged and save up for the best amp you can buy for your needs.

    My advice is to do the learning on Justin Guitar, and the fun practice on Rocksmith. If you can, find some local peeps that are also starting to learn and that will accelerate your learning big-time.
