Hello Jacob.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space. https://community.justinguitar.com/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.
Hi Jacob. I’m from Alabama too. Also addicted and in about the same place you are.
People here have all been there. Many are in their own version of ‘there’, right now. They know the pain, anguish, speed bumps, and frustrations we go through. Everyone is pulling for everyone else to be successful, so hang in there, brother.
I’m in Baldwin county, have a sister (and nieces and nephews) in Prattville, and have friends and connections in Huntsville, Muscle Shoals and Nashville. If you are close to any of those places, we could connect and commiserate.
Remember Fred Neil?
“Everybody’s talkin’ at me”
“Can’t hear a word they’re sayin’”
“Only the echo-chamber of my mind”
Well, come on down to where the sun keeps shining, through the pouring rain.
Welcome.
