I was listening to some random playlist when came “Where do you think you’re going”, and I just said “hey man, what you call this thing”. Then I learnt about Dire Straits and I eventually came to the conclusion that I should have learned to play the guitar. I started only a month ago, so I believe I’ve got a long way to go.
Everyone warned me about the difficulty of Mark Knopfler’s style but I hope with Justinguitar’s help and the app I’ll get close.
I’m currently using a really old and dusty accoustic yamaha but if I’m lucky I’ll get a fine squier sonic by christmas. I just hope the chords won’t snap before then.
Welcome, Paul. I’m currently learning Walk of Life, easy chords (after a year for me anyway). I doubt I’ll ever be able to play it like Mark, but it’s still fun!
Welcome to Justin Community. You will find it to be a really helpful place and with lots of nice and encouraging people.
I took up guitar because I wanted to play a particular type of music but it’s been so much fun playing all different things that one and a half years in, I haven’t even started what I originally intended to learn. I hope you get to eventually play like Mark Knopfler but most importantly, make sure you have a lot of fun on the way.
Hey Paul,
bonjour, bienvenue and g’day from Australia
You are indeed in a great place for learning with JustinGuitar. Just keep following the lessons with patience and practice and you’ll go far, but most importantly, have a lot of fun!
This community is very friendly, helpful and supportive too
Hi Paul ,
Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun
Ooo yes, that’s a nice one, isn’t it… I sorted this one out a long time ago, but I’m still missing a number of important notes, the solo has come a long way after I learned that there was such a thing as pentatonic scales and I so you hit fewer wrong notes…thanks for the reminder
Welcome to the Community Paul you’ve found a great place to learn and loads of supportive folk to help you on your journey.
Might be worth checking these folk out as your in Paris. I’m over in Normandie but used them earlier in the year when let down by a large distributor. Really helpful and quick service.
