Brother, the killer of any hobby is boredom. Personally learning scales bores the hell out of me. Fortunately, most of the songs I like are chord based and only use a scale run as a means of joining the next chord in sequence. So I try to master chord progressions, barre chords etc etc. but that's me.

only you know what you want to learn, music genre wise. Start with finding that out and then learn it, eventually, natural curiousity rather than "you must follow this path" will move you in your direction.

to maintain interest try to incorporate instrument maintenance skills, or guitar/gear collecting. Something related to the hobby that is a diversion away from practice but still keeps you in the arena. [br]in this case, it has gotta be all about YOU baby 😂
