Why we gave up on learning how to play an instrument? (lemm.ee)

I regret buying a guitar, I can't even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube... I dunno if it's laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like... Maybe a mix of both?

I really don't care about ukulele though

Tenor guitar strung in a fourths-based tuning (DGBE, ADGC) and not fifths sounds much more like six string guitar, it's how I usually tune mine. You can go full electric on them too.

Cigar box guitars can sound pretty damn good amped up as well, and are often much cheaper to get. I picked one up from this ebay seller almost a decade ago, and still enjoy playing it. He might only make three stringers now, but those are even easier to play. Or if you're handy, you can even make them yourself.
