You asked for advice so here it is; do your schoolwork, try to understand that it IS the way to a future as a serious musician.

Alright man I hear you but I keep hearing this over and over. I'm sure one day I will understand it the way you do, but I must apply this to now, I can't do it on faith. Please explain why a solid education can help me. I will listen.

As far as not doing your schoolwork until you get your ax back, come on dude get a life! I assume you are at least a teenager, old enough to not act like a little kid. What next, are you going to hold your breath until you turn blue if you don't get your way?

well I was asking for an alternative, "There must be a better way!" I realize it is childish and I could probably attain the guitar quicker some other way. Thanks for the rude awakening. You must realize I came hear only a couple of hours after learning of this.
