My name is Raghav Goel and currently I’m a 12th grade student born in 2008. I guess I’m pretty young thing here, ain’t I? Despite my age, I’ve always felt that I’ve some kind of pure relationship with music. I’ve always wanted to become a musician whenever I hear songs that purify my ears. When I grew up my interest started growing in physics and space hence I chose science as my main subject in High School. But that didn’t fade my interest in music at all. I used to browse through all over youtube, listening and watching to each and every guitar video I see on the internet. This couraged to purchase a guitar. Then in 2023 I finally bought my first guitar, Blueberry B-D38, around 29€, very cheap but very close to me. But due to studies I didn’t actually got the time to learn or play it but I did get to know about Justin Guitar on those days. Then last year I finally decided to give time to my guitar and started taking lessons around second week of September from Justin Guitar. And WOW he made me LOVE guitar! From then I’ve been taking lessons and currently I’m in the consolidation period of grade 2. I’ve learned so much from here, even I recorded myself and posted it here in the community. I still struggle in some areas but I’m pretty confident that I’ll repair them and Mr. Justin will help me along the way. All I want is to play my favourite songs on guitar whenever I want, but not via looking it on internet but from my own ears. I want to learn the song from the original audio recording. I know that might be very far but I know I can do that. I’m also pretty big fan of fingerstyle, I love when I see people play my favourite songs on fingerstyle acoustic. I also want to do that. I might have higher expectations than my capabilities, but I will do anything to achieve that. I thank everyone for reading about me and appreciate any and every feedback that may help me achieve my goals. Much love.
