I was asking questions wrong for years and didn't know it
I mean, I always thought the point of this community was just to get an answer, any answer. So I'd post stuff like 'what's the best way to learn guitar?' and get a bunch of vague replies. The tipping point was last Tuesday. I saw a post that asked 'I have 30 minutes a day to practice, my budget is $200, and I want to play folk songs. What's a good starter plan?' That post got like 50 super detailed, helpful comments. It hit me that my questions were too broad. I wasn't giving people anything to work with, so they couldn't really help. I was basically asking for a lecture instead of a real, tailored answer. Now I try to add at least two specific details, like my budget or a skill level. Has anyone else had to totally rethink how they ask for help here?

Wait you were just asking "what's the best way to learn guitar" with nothing else? For years? That's wild.

Yeah, "what's the best way to learn guitar" is basically asking for a magic trick. No wonder you got nothing back. I feel you though, it's easy to think a simple question gets a simple answer. That example post with the budget and time limit is a total game changer. Makes you wonder how many other people, maybe even @pat_harris over there, are still out there asking for those lectures.
