It may not be a question for this Channel but im geniuenly tweaking right now every time i pick my guitar and try to play anything it sounds So off i dont know if its because my strumming sucks or that i hold my guitar the wrong way or whatever i got no clue on top of that i really dont know how do i progress like yeah i watched some youtube tutorials like Marty musics or other channels i tried to practise some chords So far it sounds like someones torturing a racoon then strumming which i dont know if i apply too much of a force to the strings or it may be other thing then playing some of the songs i looked up the tutorial for smells like a teen spirit since i heard its easy well SOMEONE COULDNT BE MORE WRONG my hand placement was So off that my fingers landed on both strings which sounded So bad then came the strumming which as i said went even worse than the chords im not going to even mention switching between the chords or even riffs because the only one i Know is the beginning for smoke on the water. I dont know if its like a normal thing for a Beginner or im Just doing something wrong like honestly im clueless

Its normal. You have to take things slow and spend time with the basics. How to properly hold your guitar, left and right hand techniques, time and rhythm etc
make sure you are in tune. set clear goals, figure out what you even hope to gain from guitar/music
Oh alright i get it but you got maybe some Channel to recommend on focusing on basics like everyone been saying stuff about some bare chords music theory yadi yada and i geniuenly got confused
Well i always check before i play honestly i want to maybe start some niche band or something like that after i move to a bigger city
i recommend investing more time into thinking about your long term goal
and then to set short term goals based off of that
Alright i guess thats a good mindset
Guess ill start with learning basic chords
Thank you!
