Electric guitar...

Bought a electric guitar...
Gets here Wednesday...
I need something to keep my brain busy..
Overnight sensation... NO...
Next Eddy Han Halen... NO...
From what I can research on the internet if I was to play it a half hour a day it would probably take 3 months just to be able to be at beginner level and then intermediate level would probably be somewhere in the one year to two years..
And to be pretty good with it probably looking at 4 years. And expert probably a lot longer than that...
And all of that is probably playing at least a half hour every single day...
Generally I'm a fast learner and I don't tend to have a lot of give up in me so I'm seeing where these two immovable forces will take me..
Anyways I'd like to give it a try which is more than I've done in the past...
I'm wondering if anybody else has went down this road and how far they got?...

There is a technique taught recently that skips much of the theory and scales and gets you right into playing cords with some 'triangle system' or something like that. I watched a whole 30 minute youtube info-mercial on it and was close to buying it for like $26 bucks. Snake oil recipe? Dunno, but thrashing chords in a week sure sounds better than learning musical theory for the first semester of band. I wish I had the patience for an instrument, but I think I'd have more fun fixing them.
Crushed pipe on a French horn repaired using frozen water to expand out the pinched point. If it can crack a block, it can force a pipe to expand....Worked!
