Hello from Arvind in India!

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hi! This is Arvind! I’m a 37yr old guy, and have decided to get a head start on my retirement hobby, which is playing guitar for my personal amusement. An absolute beginner… I did start with an acoustic guitar about 13 years ago, however my journey lasted 3 days when my late labrador decided he’s having none of this noisy stuff and broke my guitar, and that was the end of it!

Now I’ve been learning Justin’s Beginner course module one for a couple of weeks and I’m taking it at snails pace. I have worked through the finger pain phase, and am at the callus forming dull pain phase now! Look forward to learning the instrument and hopefully enjoy it for years to come!

Hello Arvind.
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.

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
