Hi all! I’m Jeff. I’m a 46yo guy outside Atlanta. I played guitar for about a year when I was ~13, but hadn’t touched one in decades. With some new time on my hands, I thought I’d take it up again recently and picked up the Fender Squier Dreadnought about 2 weeks ago on the advice of a Reddit guitar forum. Similarly, that Reddit led me here to Justin Guitar. I started with the website and liked it enough I picked up the app to work with.
I’m learning nice and slowly, which is how these things go as I recall, but I’m really looking forward to seeing some great progress over the next few months and beyond.
Hi Jeff, welcome to the community. Nice and slow is good. I raced ahead without getting the basics sound and I am having to return to Beginners Grade 1 now to iron out some problems. Whatever, enjoy the journey.
Hey, Jeff, … 2 out of 3 ain’t bad … … you stopped playing, you bought an acoustic, and you joined JG.
Plenty to keep you on track in here this time around.
Welcome,
Hey Jeff, welcome to the community. I dreamed of playing for many years and waited till I was 53 to get serious about it. So you have quite a head start! It’s so worth it, now that I’ve been playing for well over a decade it’s now part of my lifestyle and oh so rewarding (yeah, and frustrating at times). Hang in there and keep your head down, you’ll be amazed at what you can do very soon!
Well you have found a great teacher in Justin and I see there is no need for me to add my “Its a marathon not a sprint” mantra. Take your time and enjoy the ride,
My advice to noobies is to keep the guitar on a stand or hung on the wall… play a little bit any time you have 5 free minutes… coffee brewing? Pick it up & strum a few minutes. It makes a big difference! Oh, learn songs too!!!
Good luck with your musical journey!!!
Hello Jeff. Welcome to JustinGuitar and the Community. The Community is large, as is the website. If you need any help with a lesson specific question or with any general guitar learning question then do not hesitate to ask. 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.
Cheers
