I’m Chris from Michigan. 53 years old and picking up a guitar for the first time (2 weeks into this journey). I’ve wanted to learn electric guitar for some time and had some minor surgery last week that limits what I can do for the next 6 weeks so using that time to focus on guitar and hopefully get some of the basics down that I can build off of.
Bought a used Epiphone Les Paul Modern that I keep in my home office with me so that I can pick it up for 5 mins here and there throughout the work day and then have been spending time in the evenings on Justin’s lessons and practice.
Looking forward to participating in the community.
Welcome Chris. I also keep my guitars in my home office for when I need a five minute break. That’s a great way to get practice in, especially as you are building up your callouses.
Hello Chris.
5 minutes here and there, every day a little, is a great way of building up.
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
