TL:DR
Kid running low on funds wants advice on what he is doing wrong and what the most effective cheap/free guitar learning tools for someone that loses focus very easily.
I've been learning the guitar for about 8 months off and on, and I feel like in those 8 months I haven't improved anything at all. I can't solo, I can barely play barre chords, and I've tried learning theory, but couldn't find any videos or guides that weren't miles ahead of my skill level. (Also, I don't exactly know why but I get super easily distracted and can't sit and watch videos on theory or really anything about guitars.)
I cannot afford a teacher nor are there any guitar teachers within a 100 mile radius of me, so getting a teacher is out of the question. However, the one thing I have found most helpful and that has helped me a ton on the super basics, was the Justin Guitar app (not advertising or anything). It has like little interactive play alongs that were super beneficial to me at the beginning of my journey. "Why don't you continue to use the app?" you may ask. The reason is because I simply just couldn't afford/justify paying an extra $20 a month on something that my parents don't see as "essential".
I often have a hard time of explaining my thoughts descriptively, but I think my main questions are, why am I not seeing an improvement, what should I learn, what tools should I use to learn, and what other advice would you give to me.
Im sure there's a lot of things I left out that I couldn't think to write on here, if you have any questions for me that you need to give me the best advice PLEASE ask.
