Good luck at your lesson!
A Charvel was the first guitar I ever played. Not mine, but a friend's. He taught me my first E power chord and "tried" to teach me the opening riff of Enter Sandman.

What's the problem? Corona virus? Who cooks dinner around the house? Are you going to ask her not to cook your dinner?

You really pay for guitar lessons?
While it is clear you can find any information on technique and theory on Youtube or the like, what you can't get online, is someone watching you play and correcting problems with technique or approach. Unless of course you get an online live Skype lesson, which is...you know, a guitar lesson you pay for.

I think 2-3 such lessons is enough though. Other than that, can find everything on your own.

Meh, if it comes down to it I'll simply live on takeaways

Trump is the kind of guy that will tell you the stupidest thing he can remember so you give him attention. His the Paris Hilton of politics.
The problem being that he's not complaining about "new movies" so much as the fact that "a movie from South Korea" won Best Picture so his invocation of Gone with the Wind, an 80-year-old American film that romanticises the antebellum South to a problematic degree, just reads as him doing a racist dog-whistle to his base (and it's also a little hard to believe that the guy who fast-forwards through the non-action scenes of Bloodsport would sit through all four hours of Gone with the Wind). I guess Sunset Blvd. does fit with him complaining about Hollywood phonies, though.
