Hello from old friend Ray

who is just getting that sore finger feeling again after all these years of wanting to learn how to play the guitar. I would begin every New Years with that desire and one year even made it into April before life derailed me and my guitar fell silent. I’ve recently retired, traveled Europe and picked my sweet baby back up and this time we`re gonna rock. I dusted off my Justin Guitar Book from 2010, got onto this nifty site and I’m truckin’ on!!! In my arsenal I have an Epiphone Studio LT, Squier Bullet and Yamaha FG 800. I am so looking forward to finally getting back into the groove with these old hands!!!

Welcome to the community Ray!

Hello Ray.
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.

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
