Have you considered getting a lefty guitar?
It might feel more natural for you.

I gotta tell you that you spelled Blut Aus Nord wrong but in doing so probably improved their band name

Yeah that’s a good rule to go by, I didn’t wanna go all out for my first guitar just incase I didn’t like it and I definitely wouldn’t say I don’t like playing but very annoying when it doesn’t sound perfect first time haha

One of the best free online courses for beginners. Guitar, like any instrument, takes time.Try not to beat yourself up, keep at it, never quit.
I've only been playing for a couple of years and still suck, but I have fun with it and that's all that matters.
My no1 tip would be to have your guitar on display and easily accessible. Daily practice of 10 - 20mins each day is better than 2 hour sessions once or twice per week, and having it on view will make you want to pick it up.
Make sure you're using the very tips of your fingers, not the flat part. It's going to hurt, but callouses will form faster than you think.

There’s also tons of great music that’s popular, on the charts, and easy to find. I’m tired of people acting like everything mainstream is shit and the only good stuff is underground.

Here was me thinking he'd do a Bowie and decline. Ah well - another one bites the dust.

I remember when I first learned morst chords I played sounded like shit. I would say focus on easy chords, E, A, D and their minors are all relatively easy chords to play without too much hand cramp action. As you play make sure your not fat fingerering / muting other strings and you will get better with time, slowly add harder chords.
Then one day you will find a song you want to play that is bar chords and it all starts over again.

Her debut was a banger, let's take nothing away from her and her brother. What shot her into superstardom was a unique style and energy and being relatable for Gen Z/Tik Tok

You're asking for songs about WW1 or music that the WW1 soldiers would have heard during the war?

Yes, many people do. And now OP is attempting to change the way they consume music by ALSO listening to albums. Both things can be true.

Depends on how much you're willing to stick at it. I believe learning to play on a crap instrument first made me a better guitarist in the long run and, when I finally "upgraded" I suddenly felt like a guitar god in the making.
IMO you should only invest your hard earned cash in an expensive guitar if you're 100% certain you're not going to quit after a while.

As a beginner yiu should not have your thumb all the way wrapped around the neck ala Jimi Hendrix. Keep it back in the center of the neck.
