Hello all, I'm Art from Melbourne Australia

I joined Justin Guitar late 2022 after almost giving up my dream of learning to play the guitar. I guess I fit into the “old dog” category and I’m okay with that. Bought my first guitar back in the 80’s (an acoustic) and took some lessons, but unfortunately, I let life get in the way and did not finish the journey. I still have the acoustic and have since added an electric and another acoustic, and although I have had a couple of restarts, I had not been able to find a teacher or online lessons that I felt connected with. Until I came across Justin’s website, and a lot of things fell into place. I am now thoroughly enjoying the journey. It now all makes sense. Still consider myself a beginner (at 70 and retired) but loving every minute of it. Thanks Justin.
Regards
Art

Hi Art, we’ve started our Justin Guitar journey around the same time. Looking forward to seeing how we both progress. Happy playing.

Hey Art, great stuff. Glad to hear you are making progress. Playing music is so very rewarding

Welcome, Art, it’s a great place. After waiting decades I figured it was too late to play guitar, yet here I am learning something every day since I really started trying 2 months ago.

Hi Art

Welcome to the group and being a guitar player.

I don’t know where you are in Melbourne but I run a guitar group. We meet monthly, knock out a few songs just for the fun of playing with other guitar players.

Welcome Art and greetings from Adelaide. Nice to have you here with us. I bought an acoustic on a whim about 12 months ago and I’m so glad I found Justin’s site soon after.

Hello Art, a very warm welcome to the community! It’s never to late to start (again). Have a lot of fun!
