Hello from Mike - an improver from Leicester, England

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hello all, I have been following and learning from Justin on and off via YouTube for a while, but nothing very structured. I retired recently and want to put a bit more effort into getting better on guitar, so I feel more comfortable playing with other musicians and performing at open mics.
Looking forward to posting some songs, and progressing my guitar playing a bit, hopefully I can put something back in.
Was a bedroom musician in my teens, then really left the guitar alone while I got married, had a family etc. A few years ago my older brother died and it really made me think, you know, if there is something you want to do, now is the time, tomorrow might be too late. I’m sure a lot of you have similar stories.
Anyway onwards and upwardsđź‘Ť

Hello Michael and welcome to our community. :slight_smile:

I think there are quite a few on here who wished they’d started sooner instead of procrastinating about it, me being one of them.

Enjoy.

HI Michael and welcome to the awesome community here.

I’m another one here who started later than they’d wished, but having an awesome time now :slight_smile: You’re 100% right, don’t put things off if you want to do them “just because”, crack on and fulfil those amibitions, whatever they may be :+1:

Look forward to hearing more from you!

Hi Mike

Welcome to the forum mike, your story is so like mine. I picked the guitar up again about two years ago and play everyday also not very structured. That’s the really tricky bit. I think the main thing is just to not stop. As a hobby it has so much to offer.

Hello Mike and (belated) welcome to the community.
The problem with accessing Justin’s lessons via Youtube is that randomness rather than structure can dominant. Now you have found the website proper, and the backup of a place in the community, you should have all the structure laid out as a clear learning path for yourself.
If you need any help or support just ask.
Cheers :smiley:
