Chris from UK

Hi, I’m Chris from the UK. I bought a cheap electric guitar a year ago and tried to learn by watching YouTube videos. I got frustrated, put the guitar in the loft where it stayed for about 6 months. At Christmas, I thought I would give it another go. I started following Justins Beginner course and made some progress. About a month ago, I upgraded my guitar and now I practice every day. I have stopped trying to learn too quickly, and am sticking to the courses. So far, things are going well. I forgot to mention, I’m 55 and never played before. I hope I haven’t left it too late.

Hey Chris

Welcome to the community. You’ve definitely not started too late. I started when I was about your age and now, some 13 years later I’ve played over 100 open mics and music is now a big part of my lifestyle. The rewards are just fabulous. Hang in there, and you’ll be amazed at what you can do in only a relatively short time.
