No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The hard part is putting in the time to practice every day. You can't learn music without many many hours of practice. This is something only you can figure out, so while your question is good, I can't answer it for you.
Don't overlook lessons. They are generally fairly cheap. Lessons give you a set of songs to learn that you have a chance at (many songs are too complex to play at an acceptable level - there is a reason everyone starts with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: Mozart wrote it to be an easy first song), choosing good songs is often hard at your level. Lessons also give you half an hour of practice a week (at the lesson) and generally the embarrassment of having to tell your teacher you didn't practice gets you another half hour! Lessons also force you to admit you did really bad in some section and go back and redo it instead of moving on. There is nothing about lessons you can't teach yourself - but most people will not do the above things and it greatly limits their progress.
Before choosing an instrument, remember one of the fun things is to play with others. Thus finding a group you can play with is a useful thing. This can be hard - some groups are jerks to anyone who isn't a master (if you practice 8 hours a day you can join them in as little as 3 years, but most of us will never be good enough) - but others are very nice to beginners. If you find such a group ask them what they need, sometimes they will know that some sound is missing and so you have reason to learn that, and since the sound is missing they will be even more welcoming of you because even when bad you can have enough good moments that add to the group sound.
this is litterally how i learned classical greek. maybe thats the reason why i am more fluent in it than in some modern languages i touched.
