I started playing for almost 2 month now. Recently I found a song I want to play too difficult, should I keep trying? Part of me feels like it really isn't that difficult but when actually playing the song I just get stucked and I can't really imagine how I play it, and its frustrating. Is it just a matter of getting familiar with the tab? Should I switch to something more easy or will I magically learn how to play it at some point if I keep trying? Right now It feels like bashing my head into a wall over and over.

Picking almost always gives an unpleasant buzzing sound

Hi everyone,

I'm a complete beginner on both electric and acoustic guitar.

I have an Ibanez Gio GRG131DX and a Fender Champion 20 amp. Since I don't have the budget for high-end gear, I was told this setup would be good enough for learning.

I don't have any effect pedals, etc.

Do any guitarists here know this amp? I just can't seem to find a metal setting that sounds even a bit decent or pleasant to the ear 🫤

I'm not looking for a super heavy or dark tone. Just a nice sound to practice chords...

I feel like maybe I'm just bad at dialing in the tone, but this gear should still be able to sound somewhat decent, right? On YouTube, people get tones that really surprise me. Impossible to reproduce it...

Thanks 🙂
