Like so many others, I started learning guitar a couple of years ago as a ‘mature’ learner. I had a go when I was younger but with no real success. In 2020, I thought it was time for me to tick an item off my bucket list by learning to play a musical instrument.
I discovered Justin’s website early on and have been progressing through the beginners course. I’ve found his approach very engaging and supportive, full of the hints and tips that I didn’t get when I last tried to learn.
I have both acoustic and electric guitars, although I favour the acoustic as it has a wider neck that can better accommodate my clumsy fingers. I also like the sound of an acoustic.
Even though my playing skills are very modest at the moment, I can see that following Justin’s course will eventually lead to me being a better guitarist.
Welcome, Kevin, another of the many mature members coming back to learn and succeed where we may have failed (speaking for myself) in the past. Follow the path and you will likely improve and achieve more than you may imagine (again, can speak for myself).
Welcome to the community Kevin, great to hear from another Aussie here. I have two daughters who live in Melbourne. We were there earlier this year and enjoyed it.
Great that so many folk are taking their bucket list seriously and this is one great item to tick off. But the secret will be to keep going and for that you have us. Any problems, any doubts, we’re like a dirty martini. Anytime anyplace anywhere, there will be some to help.
Hello Kevin, welcome to the community. You’ve come to a great place and, in Justin’s beginner course, have a structure and a set of lessons par excellence.
Cheers
Richard
