Hello All, I have had a brief stint with guitar for 3 months a decade ago. I am 47 years old and am staring again now. I have two guitars: La Patrie - Etude classical guitar (Sophie :)) and a Blue Fender Squire sonic (Elektra :)). Sophie is a bit difficult to handle, but her tone is loud and sweet, Elektra is smooth and she can sing as you desire. Got the inspiration to name my guitars from B.B.King. I am also totally deaf on my left ear since my childhood. But I love music and enjoy the ride so far. I recently got the JG app and almost completed Grade 1. I had so much fun learning and am sure will continue to do so. Wishing the best to all.

Hello Pradeep,
Warmest greetings from Warsaw, Poland 
(Many countries from all continents are represented here, which is fantastic). Good to know you have been fascinated with learning guitar, and I’m sure with some help from this community you’re gonna make progress. You have great instruments to play, which is always a good thing.
Anyway, it’s great to have you here. I’m looking forward to listening to your first recordings, as most of us like to share their music with the community, regardless of the player’s respective skill level.
Good luck,
Regrads

Hi Pradeep, welcome to the community forum.
Welcome Brother!
Recording yourself is so important. You can learn so much about where you can improve just by watching yourself. Later you can look back and see how far you have gotten. Good Work!
