Exactly! Thats the issue I have with the video. Mex Strats are some of the best instruments I’ve ever tried, for that very reason their guys should get the same wage as the US factory workers, as they’ve often made better instruments than the US ones.
I’ve played guitar off and on for 30 or so years. Started when I was 17. Got a cheap strat copy and later an acoustic and bass. Guitar lessons are great if you can afford them. In some places tutors have quality related affiliations that will let you know the tutor knows what they’re actually doing.
However there are tons of free tutorials on youtube.
What you need to do is ask yourself what you want to achieve. Tutorials are great if there is an end objective (eg join a band, write some music). What instrument do you wish to play - classical guitar? Steel string acoustic? Electric guitar? Buying used will save you a shitload of money if you dont currently have a guitar, though taking it to a good shop to get it set up will help.
