I'm trying to decide whether I should get an electric guitar or a bass, mainly as a tool to learn music theory with - Its proven pretty hard to wrap my head around how chords work theory wise and train my ear to recognize them when my instrument cant play chords. Plus its much easier & cheaper to find music I like for guitars than it is for the brass family. Can also practice much quieter with electric instruments than a horn, better for my shit sleep schedule, can play whenever I want.
I could get a cheap, well reviewed starter guitar kit now and do set up myself, get playing sooner. Or I could wait until I can afford a bass or a more quality guitar and all the accessories I'd need.
I'd still like to learn both eventually If I can, but I need to pick one to start with. I'm already familiar with basslines from playing tuba and honestly prefer playing bass parts, but guitar is going to be much better for understanding chords and melodies since I'd like to make songs at some point even if I'd choose to play bass if I were to play in a band someday.
Basically I'm not sure If I should start with the instrument I prefer (not that I dislike guitar at all ofc) or the one that will make it easier to learn the things I want to learn though doing instead of studying.

ended up getting a guitar, is still on its way. while waiting mostly been coming up with a game plan on how to teach myself most efficiently, and learning that I've really underestimated my knowledge of music theory and best practice habits because I mostly keep finding videos that validate the plan I've made. ignoring the "get good in 30 days" guitar gurus pushing their online courses of course.ClevelandsMyBro wrote:

plan so far
for every practice session I'll split the structure into three parts and do them in order: warmup/technique, theory/ear training, then learning/making songs and I'll try to at practice 5 min every day to get the technique part in at least If I really don't feel up for it or have time.
gonna start with the spider exercise, then a series of exercises to learn the notes on the fretboard, then work on learning a song with the help of TABs and go from there, eventually trying to start learning by ear or sight reading instead as I get better (think I'm gonna start with This Fire by Franz Ferdinand - was the song used as cyberpunk anime op. either that or the rhythm guitar to Trust by Megadeth). probably going to practice my singing too, even If I never get good its amazing for ear training.

plus I figure learning bass later wont be too difficult, same notes on the frets in standard tuning, but bigger fret board and new strumming techniques.

I could get a cheap, well reviewed starter guitar kit now and do set up myself, get playing sooner. Or I could wait until I can afford a bass or a more quality guitar and all the accessories I'd need.

i too am learning guitar again recently after 8 years (so i'm pretty much just starting from the ground up again). i find it cool that people actually have plans instead of just going on a wipm. i dont really have any long term goal than just "play this specific song" or "be able to do this".
i'm playing on yamaha's silent guitar from my dad (i say "from my dad" yet i used it w/o permission), he used to be a guitarist himself so it makes sense he would have these stuff lying around. however i would need to plug it into an amp to actually hear audible sounds and its really messing up my practice. he also have an accoustic but the guitar case is locked and i honestly dont have the guts to ask him to unlock it.
anyways, i unfortunately am on my last semester (yay) so the only time i would be able to have the slitherest of time to play is after the college entrance exam in may or at the weekends, and even then it would be littered with assignments and studying.
btw may i ask what guitar you bought? cheers lad.
Hope you can find the time to practice soon man, looked up the silent guitar, is a very nice guitar - seems it actually has a amp built in and can just output directly to headphones if its powered assuming I found the right guitar.ClevelandsMyBro wrote:

I ended up getting this: https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Electric-Guitar-Amp-Kit/dp/B08XYGJ8BZ
not the highest quality thing, but from what I could find in the reviews and on youtube videos it is the best starter practice amp kit that I don't hate the look of (gotta want to pick the guitar up, yk)
after a set up it shouldn't be too bad to start on, and if it needs fret work or something Im not confident I can do, my brother is an apprentice at an instrument repair shop.

I just started learning digital art but more specifically how to draw characters and people. I don’t know if I should keep drawing gestures and anatomy or should I start moving onto individual parts like faces and such.
Also it’s so hard to develop my own style for gesture art and anatomy. I’m looking at other’s to copy and learn from but they are all so different yet I haven’t found one that fit my style. Some focus hard of 3d shapes, some use more circular objects and some use simple lines. This really hurt my head.
Any advices on learning to draw anatomy would be appreciated.
