G’day, Tom from Loftus NSW Australia. Been on JG for 5 years I think and just finished Grade 2. Now working on songs and ear training. Getting close to retiring too. I have learned a huge amount from the JG team. My wife met a lady the other day and he just retired, he is in a band and she asked where he learned - he learned from JustinGuitar and the team! Small world!
I do not post much as I do not even really know how, but I thought I would just try the Introduce section and try new topic.
Hi Tom, welcome! Looks like you’ve got the basics of posting in the Community down pat. It’s a lot easier than learning guitar! Hope to see you around.
I’m Gilles from Canada and going to visit Australia for a month, leaving in 2 weeks !!! Like you, I’m beginner and really enjoy JG. Good for you, hope you’ll enjoy retirement !!
Hello Tom.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space. View by Categories.
We are a supportive and encouraging group of students and guitarists from across the world. Essentially, we are all here for music and to improve as players. We truly are a ‘community’. Members help and support one another and a friendly, positive attitude underpins this. We hope that all - young or old, experienced or new players - adopt and foster the pay-it-forward ethos that Justin personifies and embedded all those years ago when he started the website and forum.
Also, please make sure to read the Community Etiquette announcement for some important information and guidance.
If you want to record yourself to show your progress and / or seek feedback there is our ever popular Community Recordings section.
Behind the scenes there is a small and dedicated team who work to make the JustinGuitar experience as good as it can be. Check out the Onboarding sessions provided by Fanny. Justin also has a small group of Approved Teachers he recommends for people wanting 1-to-1 lessons to supplement his courses - of which I am privileged to be one.
That is plenty to be going on with. It is a vast community space so if you need help as you find your way around just ask.
Cheers. Richard
