Some of the best guitarists around don’t really know what they’re doing - they’re just feeling.

That’s because toan is stored in the balls.

Also yeah, I used to be a concert snare player and then gave up drums entirely. I picked up guitar at 18 and was a better guitarist after a year with no formal training versus 10 years of snare. Once you learn basic chords, you can generally follow a chord chart pretty easily, only needing to learn more when you get into the more complex shapes. Music theory is great but not required to make neat sounding music (I still don’t know it, I just find notes that sound good with each other).

Ukelele would be a good starter though, it’s similar enough that it’ll partially translate but is also like $20 to get into and the strings are cheaper.
