I will be using Rocksmith and Justin guitar to learn and am looking for any and all advice. I don't have an amp yet but I'm sure that's fine.

Thank you for the advice. Rocksmith has been fun so far but I feel like I'm making up too much which is fine for a game but probably not for long term learning/progression.

I am leaning towards the Boss Mini Katana 7 watt amp. Seems affordable and feature-rich.

Justin guitar will give you the technique and knowledge, Rocksmith will give you the repetition and muscle memory. The Katana is dope, though blackstar makes a fun little practice amp too. For a practice one just try to find something used on FB marketplace or Reverb.

My god was this ever useful. I've been checking out FB marketplace since and it is a gold mine. I'll probably get an amp off of there.

Awesome man, I'm glad I could help! Remember you're going to be moving on from your first amp at some point, same with the guitar. I would just get solid pieces to learn on and save for the pro stuff later. A small practice amp that you can easily move room to room is awesome when you start since it can make your first easier to pick up and play anytime you're chilling out. Make sure it has a way to plug in some headphones so you can practice without waking anyone that might live with you. Always do the bulk of your learning/practice with a clean tone so it's easy to identify any mistakes. Throw on the effects when you are having fun or finding your tone.
