Hello from Ben in Germany

Willkommen, Ben - nice to have you!
I think it was a great decision to swap motorbike racing for guitar playing! You’ll notice when you get older!
When your kid will be there, I recommend having a Ukulele lying around, it’s easy to learn for guitarists and your kid could grab (a not so expensive one) it without you fearing about your favourite guitar.But well, if you do so, be warned that lots of cheap Ukes don’t have a good intonation - I had to fix quite a few for me and friends…
WIshing you lots of fun in guitarland,
Dominique in Berlin

Hello Ben. What a lovely introduction.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space.
https://community.justinguitar.com/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.
