Hello, I am starting over my guitar journey after 10 years. I made it to the F chord on Justin’s classic lesson but started again from the beginning and making a real effort this time.

Hi Gavin, welcome to the community. I took several attempts to make it through the classic beginners lessons many years ago, but I never fully mastered the big F chord back then. I played a lot of songs with the Fmaj7 chord or the mini-F with a muted high E. I restarted with the new course 4 years ago and I wanted to let you know that you get a lot more help with the F chord in the new course and you are not expected to master the chord before you move on. So please don’t let that be a barrier this time to staying on your guitar journey. Follow the lessons, learn songs and have fun and have patience. You will be successful this time

Good choice on restarting your Journey… I hope that the time is ripe for some pickin’ - fingerpicking that is!!!
Seriously, keep a smile on your face whenever you pick up the guitar & you’ll never give it up again!
Good luck & have fun!!!

Welcome to the community. Having tried once before and failed before coming back and succeeding, I encourage you to stick it out. The reward of being able to play a song at will from your back pocket is just fantastic and it’s not as far away as it seems. Look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome back. I’ve just restarted myself after nearly 10 years. I was at the end of the old intermediate course and jamming some blues in a band when I stopped. Good luck with it all

Hello Gavin.
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
