I can’t buy gear anymore. I just can’t. I lost my mind about 4 years ago chasing tone and thinking gear would make me better. In a short span of time I bought a:this ( or something like it) is helpful

I was sick. Eventually I learned gear can’t save me. I had a room full of shit that looked like I was a full time touring musician but I wasn’t even good enough to get out of the basement.
I finally put all my amps and a couple pedals on marketplace. Some moron actually traded me all of it for a real Gibson Les Paul Special and $200 cash. I could not believe it. He was sicker than I was.
I went to Sweetwater bought a used boss katana for $159. Now I just have 1 guitar. 1 amp. The orange boss distortion pedal and the red loop pedal, which is all my rhatarded Buckethead wanna-be brain needs. And I still sound like shit. Weeee…. So much fun.
the guitar trainer is not really "gear" but a very useful tool for figuring out riffs/chord progressions, etc.
if that is something you struggle with and want to improve it's a very well spent couple hundred bucks
(some quality headphones are nice to have also)
Rewind, rewind, rewind, rewind ...
You will never feel you are good enough. That's the thing ... once you get over the thing you're working on, you feel great for about 2 seconds and the next challenge comes up.
Rinse repeat 40 years ..... It never ends ...... I warned you of this years ago.
I dumped all gear in the late 90's and just kept my acoustics, (I now have 7) when I decided to learn how to play without a pick.
Then for some reason started collecting string instruments I can't play ... mando, dulcimer, violin. I can cheat the mando by playing two finger upside down guitar chords. Still can't trickle though...
I believe your quote was 10,000 hours to sound good for 10 minutes then hate that 10 minutes or something like that and it’s so true.
I think I have figured out I’m afraid of success with the guitar. As soon as something sounds good, my A Minor pentatonic or c major scale, I run from it in fear that I could actually be good enough that I would have to have real responsibilities for it. Then go practice something unattainable like a 5 fret stretch from a Buckethead song that no one in the world would ever want to hear and I know that sounds completely backwards and dumb. It’s like I can’t get out of my own way. grrrrrrrr….
His wiki page:
Atkins was a sensitive youth who made music his obsession. Because of his illness, he was forced to sleep in a straight-back chair to breathe comfortably. On those nights, he played his guitar until he fell asleep holding it, a habit that lasted his whole life.

Carroll grew up in a Southern California suburb near Disneyland. In his youth, he was an introvert, and spent most of his time in his room with books, games, martial-arts movie memorabilia, and toys. He also spent a lot of time at Disneyland.[3]
Carroll began playing guitar at the age of 12. He learned to play from an elderly man down the road. He is quoted as saying, however, he became serious a year later after he moved from Huntington Beach, California to Claremont. His playing improved with lessons from various teachers at a local music store. His early teachers included Max McGuire, Johnny Fortune, Mark Hammond, Pebber Brown, Joey Tafolla, and Paul Gilbert. In 2003, Buckethead played a tribute to all his early teachers as the Deli Creeps played a show at Styles Music's 25th anniversary. He then began making demo recordings of both his playing as well as his writing styles, which would later be released in 2007–2008.[citation needed]
The Buckethead persona came to be when Carroll saw the 1988 horror movie Halloween 4and was inspired by the film. He went out right after seeing it and bought a Michael Myers-like white mask. The bucket idea came later that night while eating chicken:[12]

Per wiki:
"Nick Drake is an artist who never fakes. The album makes no concession to the theory that music should be escapist. It's simply one musician's view of life at the time, and you can't ask for more than that."[64]
Blackwell felt Pink Moon had the potential to bring Drake to a mainstream audience; however, his staff were disappointed by Drake's unwillingness to promote it.
