I have played guitar on and off for years but also had a long layoff. I took lessons for a bit a few years ago but left after my teacher SNAPPED on me. You see I’m known as an enigma lol…I can play advanced lead stuff but fall flat on my face with even the most basic strumming. Teacher flipped as I was warming up one class when he came in. He screamed WTF!! YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT!!! I said “I know” that’s why I’m hear. Anyways, I left and just devoted my time with Justin.
Aside from all the other stuff I have bought from Justin’s great site. I decided to really dive into the meat and potato’s of playing and finally join my 2 Worlds. So Grade 1 I started and now I at about grade 3 for my strumming but more like grade 8 for some of the other stuff.
I can NOT express how much fun I had with the live class!!! I was able to follow along no problem. As I understood some stuff from my advance stuff I have tinkered with.
In closing my main goal is to bridge my playing to become a fully advanced player in general, both rhythm and lead.
Have a great day everyone and see you all next live class.
Hello Donald, glad to have an enigma like me on board! We’re all very different so I guess you wouldn’t mind if I say that fingerpicking is easier than strumming for me and that Rhythm Guitar is not easier than Classical Guitar for me…love them both anyway I highly reccomend Justin’s Strumming SOS Course, I’ve started last month to work on Grade 2 and see all the goodness of it. Besides re-working your strumming fundamentals from zero will really help you!
See you around
Man, some peeps should not work with other humans if they lose it that easy.
Glad it didn’t discourage you in total and you kept at guitar and bring both worlds together now.
I hear you. For me the issue is finding the time. It’s hard enough these days to just click the record button and lay down some tracks. I may have to start recording practice sessions.
Edit: Haha! I read Ontario California! Time for me to log off of the Interwebs.
I actually wanted to go back and change my intro post. As it comes across a bit crass. Sounding like I know what I’m doing. Like I said I fake it well … but I’m dug in for the long haul till I make that bridge between the two.
Oh yes my friend. Already got the strumming course on CD along with his Blues CD. Basically between the Strumming, online and live classes I hope to NOT be an enigma anymore lol…Have fun finger picking and Classical, good for you. Hard stuff I must say. I’m still working on Greensleeves. but other finger picking songs come at a much easier effort. Enigma all the way lol.
lol…buddy I sooooooooo wish I was still in Las Vegas!!! We would go over to California all the time. Disney Land and Laguna Beach were always my favorite.
I’ve been called worse 
but sure
