Hi all, I’m Dennis from Melbourne, Australia. First picked up a guitar when I was 14 in the 70s (don’t worry we’ll skip ahead) and have been a perpetual intermediate pretty much ever since. University then work taking too much time for me to ever really improve.
I retired two years ago and the reason I’m here now is Justin’s site was the inspiration for me to make use of my new found time to finally try to improve in a structured manner rather than just banging out the same old stuff over and over.
If only resources like this had existed back when I started, my guitar journey may have been quite different! It’s really fantastic.
I hadn’t been on the site for a while but the ‘how to not suck at singing’ video caught my attention and led me to discover the new community. I followed Justin’s suggestion and posted a link to my (one and only so far) song (First track - Long Journey Home) in the AVOYP topic, largely because that is the culmination of the renaissance of my musical dabbling that started with discovering Justin’s site.
Many, many thanks for everything you do for would be musicians around the world Justin, much appreciated!
Hi Dennis, welcome and have a good time playing guitar and spending time in the community. Very helpful crowd of people, a lot of precious advice from members will help you to progress.
Hey Dennis, welcome to the community, I live in Northern NSW and have a couple of daughters who live in Melbourne. Always good to hear another Aussie speaking up
Welcome to the Community, Dennis, doesn’t matter what brought you here. You are among friends (fellow Australians and citizens from many other countries) and sure you’ll find much more to help you live your musical dreams here.
. No idea why the influx of Aussies lately but I’m all for it!
