>9 months
>50,000 attempts

How much did he make in revenue off < 4.5 hours/day?

If he wasn't getting making decent incoming off it, the attempts/time seems excessive. But trying to do something obscure no one else has done is fine as a hobby. Just don't tunnel-vision.

Thing is though... he dropped that holds around :51, :55, :58, and 1:18 didn't he? Or do dropped holds not break combo in GH?

Probably greater than the likely 0$ (or less once you factor in equipment costs) he would have from learning actual guitar.

You could argue the opportunity costs from a real job means its a bad endeavor by how much more he could have had, but actual guitar is almost certainly a big zero on revenue.

Real instrument skill, including guitar, can make you decent side money in praise bands. Those jobs aren't pipe dreams either.

Every guy I've known with it never managed to do a single job. Every local band is founded by a guy with a guitar already. Maybe that's just my town.

Either way that's sporadic, gig money that you'd need to do a lot of to offset the difference between what he made streaming.

By praise bands I mean Christian institutions like churches and schools that need a regular accompanist on their team. I don't know how much this guy is making on Twitch, but if he's clearing more than a few thousand a year, then yeah.

I believe they got stricter about holds in later installments. It's been a long time, but I vaguely recall holds being basically optional in 3, but there being a minimum hold time in one of the non-numbered sequels.
