This is my introduction and also my Grade 1 feedback since it doesn’t let me post it on the website.
I’m 15 and I started playing guitar with one my grandpa gave me on August 30th. It’s now December, and I’ve finished Grade 1. I’m studying Music Theory, Ear training, I know 5 songs, I know 3 riffs, all 8 basic chords, and even some Sus chords, barre chords, and other chords like F minor. I felt like I breezed through all of it because these videos don’t overcomplicate things like other people; they’re so simple and useful. I love playing guitar. Thank you, Justin.

Hi Alan ,
Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun 
Well done and indeed this is Justin’s great strength, with even more things such as the help of this community when things don’t go as hoped or just to share videos of our beloved hobby when the home front isn’t ready yet for listening 
…or whatever…
Greetings,Rogier

Hello to a fellow Hoosier (I’m in Bloomington, Alan). Welcome and thanks for the great intro
Welcome Alan,
Good to see you here. I think this is a great place to learn good habits. I’m still learning them… Have fun!
Welcome Alan, well done on starting Music Theory and especially Ear Training…you seem to be putting a lot of commitment and enthusiasm into learning, be sure it will all pay off, every single minute.

I know exactly what you mean! Justin is the only online instructor I’ve seen that I don’t find myself saying “wait, wait, what did you just do?” or “you lost me.”
Hello Alan.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space. View by 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.
If you want to record yourself to show your progress and / or seek feedback there is our ever popular Community Recordings section.
Behind the scenes there is a small and dedicated team who work to make the JustinGuitar experience as good as it can be. Check out the Onboarding sessions provided by Fanny.
Justin also has a small group of Approved Teachers he recommends for people wanting 1-to-1 lessons to supplement his courses - of which I am privileged to be one.
We also host regular (virtual) JustinGuitar Community Open Mic events for community members.
That is plenty to be going on with. It is a vast community space so if you need help as you find your way around just ask.
Cheers. Richard
