Hello, friends! Hello, guitar world!

Hello, friends! I am very happy to join you and become part of the community!

My name is Alexander, I am 37 years old. As a child, I studied wind instruments at music school, but then I quit! And now, as an adult, I have picked up a guitar—a real one :slight_smile:
I was very happy about that!

I asked the GPT chat to recommend the best guitar course, and it suggested Justin. At first, I was skeptical because there are many instructional videos on the internet, and they are all quite peculiar!

But this course exceeded all my expectations! It’s such in-depth work and there’s so much material! I’m just amazed! I’m very happy to be with you!

I’m currently studying the first module.
My specs are a 2000 Gibson SG Standard and a Boss Katana 50 Gen3.

Welcome Alexander, we’re glad you’re here! You’ll surely enjoy playing that SG much more than the not-real (perhaps of the air variety :rofl:) guitar you might have picked up before! Hope to see you around.

Hey and welcome

Glad to tell you ChatGPT was right :wink:

If you start on the justinguitar.com website and start in the beginning, it is a very comprehensive beginner course; not only how to teach you how to play but introducing you to some concepts without going too much in depth at first.

Although the form may vary over the years, Justins personal style and authenticity is always there ^^

good luck and see you around!

Hello Alexander & Welcome!!!
It sounds like you are on the right path to learn guitar! Justin’s program is a tried & true method for those who want to learn!
One thing I recommend to “newbies” is to get a stand or wall hanger so that your guitar is always “handy” to pick up & play when you only have a few minutes. I like to play while my coffee’s brewing in the morning… I just don’t plug it in so it’s quieter & that way everyone else can sleep!
Also, make sure to keep the “fun factor” in your practice sessions… some lessons may focus on an area that doesn’t interest you (although they’re helpful to learn techniques). When that happens, shift your focus to something that is fun… don’t let frustration hamper your enthusiasm & motivation!
Good luck!!!
