I’ve been a beginning student of the guitar for quite some time. The issue for me was how I learn. I am notoriously difficult to teach and most of the time have to work pretty hard to memorize things. Now that I am older, that doesn’t work as well because what I work hard to memorize also I forget faster than I used to and I end up starting all over again.
I am super excited about this course. For the first time I am retaining what I am learning because of the method. I’ve been looking forward to the lessons because I remember what I learned the day before and I see progress. I actually want to practice again and this method has excited me about learning guitar again.
Good to hear that Justin’s teaching style seems to be a great fit for you. It’s great you can retain the things you learn here, as they all build upon each other, but come in digestible chunks with a certain amount of repetition. Maybe that’s why it works so well for you and many others (including myself :-D)
Your comments resonate with me. I spent about 2 decades going round in ever decreasing circles until I found Justin and finally found a method that stuck. And that was the old courses 10 years ago. I am now reviewing the current grade system and can only say you have a super roadmap ahead of you for learning, you just need to stick with it. You have certainly found the right place.
This is excellent news.
Having a great teacher that inspires you to practice is a very good thing.
Glad you found ‘here’ and for sure a warm welcome.
You’ll for sure find everyone that I’ve encountered here to be very positive and helpful.
Have a lot of fun Kim.
Hey Kimberly, welcome to the forum. I was born and raised in Kansas a long time ago and have a daughter in law named Kimberly. If you are anything like her we’ll get along just fine!
And you’ve come to the right place, if there was ever a time to really learn and remember it well through the way it is taught on the internet then it is here at Justinguitar
Hello Kim.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and the Community. The Community is large, as is the website. If you need any help with a lesson specific question or with any general guitar learning question then do not hesitate to ask. There are many good folk here who will happily offer help and encouragement to those coming up behind them on Justin’s Beginner Courses. They embody and carry the pay-it-forward ethos we have nurtured for many years in our community. There are many old hands too who have years and (hopefully) a bit of wisdom they can bring as they give their support to those hitting the road blocks - which we all do.
Just ask if you need anything.
Cheers
