Hello from Portland Oregon USA, my name is Bryan, I am an older musician who’s been playing for 40+ years and decided that I needed to enhance my skills as a guitarist. A bandmate told me about this course and I was intrigued, so here I am. I like what I see so far and I’m excited to work with people from around the world.

Hi Bryan, welcome to the community forum. I was playing guitar for 40+ years when I started learning with Justin Guitar. I found that I was stuck using a handful of strumming patterns, especially “old faithful”. Going through all of the song lesson videos for the songs in his two beginning song books introduced me to a lot of interesting strumming patterns, percussive strums, muted strums and picked strums. I know you will also find some useful skills for playing songs.

Hello Bryan.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space.

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.

Thank you Richard. It taking me a bit to understand and cruise the site. The learning better guitar skills is my first priority. A bit of a learning curve for me using the internet to accomplish that task. Thank you again for your help and support.
