Thanks, Steve. I’m not very good, socially 
and have a number of ongoing health issues. But if I can overcome some of that, I do hope to be able to contribute something in the future.

Isn’t he? Such a unique talent (also love his acting - check him out in the story in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, if you haven’t already!)
Justin’s easy beginner’s version of ‘Chocolate Jesus’ is in my practice routine and if I can just get brave enough, I may record myself playing that as my first video here.
You have a lovely weekend too, Nicole, thanks! Hope that you enjoy the Indie bands.

Thank you, ukbuk! It’s a genuinely lovely thing to do and to have. It’s not so easy to come back to after so many years, but a positive joy. So glad I did. Enjoy your playing!

Ha ha ha 
“Chocolate Jesus” was one of the first songs, I took a look at myself as well. It’s challenging, especially the singing. There is a live album, where Tom has to do that song two times over, because he doesn’t get it right on the first try. I simply love songs telling stories. And a brilliant storyteller he is.
I actually have to check if one of those streaming services here in Finland, if they have that movie. Never seen it, I think.
There is another movie with Tom Waits in it, and that’s a lovely one indeed. Ever seen " Coffee & Cigarettes"? Coffee and Cigarettes - Wikipedia

Never seen ‘Coffee & Cigarettes’, no. I’ll have to check it out. ‘…Buster Scruggs’ is on Netflix, if you have that.
True. Even on Netflix Finland. Thank you so much

Hi Danny, welcome. My daughter also contributes to refresh my music playlist. Although I knew some of the basics of playing guitar, I did the same than you, went through all the lessons from Level 0 and I stay in a lesson until I consider I cannot get more from it.

¡Hola AA! Gracias.
Yes, it’s good to have other musical input from younger ears! .
I do sometimes wish that I could move through the course faster, but it does get difficult both to get the head to retain things, and to keep the fingers moving as you get older . Anyway, it’s good to go over lessons to reinforce what you’ve learned. I’ll keep trying to get better every day.

Hello Danny.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and the Community. I’m arriving late to the hello and welcome party. You’re now a couple of months further along and I hope you are making great progress.
You’ve a lot of listening that I’m unfamiliar with - it is certainly a mid-old age thing that finding and accessing new music becomes a lost art.
There are many good folk here who will happily offer help and encouragement to those coming up behind them on Justin’s Beginner Courses. They embody and carry the pay-it-forward ethos we have nurtured for many years in our community. There are many old hands too who have years and (hopefully) a bit of wisdom they can bring as they give their support to those hitting the road blocks - which we all do.
Just ask if you need anything else.
Cheers
