Hi there
In response to my first post, several of you encouraged me to introduce myself…So here we are. I’m 47. I started guitar long time ago but without any progress for many years. In 2018 I started to follow on line courses and it was great but at some point I was stucked with same level/songs.
Now I’m starting a new journey in my guitar practice, including embellissements, improvisation, more complex songs etc…and I dream to play with a band🤷♂️
Hoping that Justin site and some community would help
Welcome Ludo! We all get stuck sometimes in our guitar journey. When that happens, this community is a great place to ask for suggestions to become un-stuck. Folks here generously share experience and knowledge.
Two years ago, I had no idea what to do and now I’m playing lots of songs. I’d say you’re well on the way to be able to play with a band. Glad you joined.
Welcome and I wish you every success that you want.
As I’m over 60 the saying you’re never to old to start something new applies. You in your late 40s so perfect this guitar playing. When I’ve sought help everyone has been brilliant and offered really help information. So don’t worry about asking what might seem a stupid question. Most have already met that challenge and suggest a way forward.
Hello Ludo.
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
