Hello Jeremy, and Welcome to the community 
.
As Iām a curious person, would you mind telling us a bit more about you and your guitar background 
? Have you just started your guitar journey or do you maybe have already some years of experience under your belt? Do you play an acoustic or electric? ā¦?
No problem, if you donāt want to write more at the moment - as Iāve said, Iām just curious 
.

A bit more about myself?
Well, Iām whatās often called by Justin āan advancing beginner.ā I have been playing off and on again since 2005. My skill level is somewhat complicated to explain because I tend to jump around to a lot more advanced things before I probably should, because itās my learning style that works best for me and it tends to work to my advantage. I am grade 4 in the beginner course, confident with my barre chords now too; yay! lol
I have 5 guitars, 3 electric (fender strat, Gibson les Paul, and my first, a Mark 5), and 2 Accoustic (one of which is an electric Accoustic) one of my Accoustic guitars is a Fender, which is the electric and the other is a Yamaha.
Anything else I can fill you all in on?
Sorry for the late response.

Hi Jermeny ,
And a late welcome from me, ā¦ but you werenāt very busy here 
It is good to read that you do follow the course from the beginning and continue with it, ā¦ and looking past that can of course do no harm at all, ā¦ as long as you donāt make it as much/crazy as I did 
,. ā¦but my goal is/was something else with learning the guitar than just be good ( i hope that will happen some day ofcourse 
),ā¦so all the time that I didnāt spend āusefullyā on getting better, I did have a great time and I have the time on my side
Do you now the section AVOYP?
Greetings,Rogier

Jeremy, welcome to the forum. I started on this site as an advancing beginner also. My barre chords are still a little iffy, so Iām hanging out in Grade 3. It took me a while to know what everyone was talking about with AVOYP (A Video Of You Playing) It is a section in the JG community forum where people learning on the Justin Guitar website post links to videos of them playing a song, both to share with all of us and get some feedback.

Hey Steveā¦
I got better with my barre chords by practicing with my acoustic guitar, because itās more difficult to fret the notes, this improves your grip strength making it easier. Itās something I discovered after I had been playing around with my acoustic half heartedly just for fun. It ended up improving me a lot to my surprise. Now I donāt struggle at all with barre chords lol.
When I switched over to my Fender strat I was amazed at how effortless it was to play the F chord haha.
Iām also somewhere between grade 3 and 4, but because of rhythm and also my changes need improving. I am doing Justinās new strumming course which is really helping a lot.
