Hi! My name’s Rem and I’m new here. Here is my story 
When I was a kid, my mom enrolled me in a music class with a choir. I was eventually expelled with the following diagnosis: “weak voice, lack of musical hearing, and unstable sense of rhythm.” And while I noodled around a little with the guitar as a kid and later with the piano as an adult, I never actually considered singing, because that was simply something I believed was not given to me. Period.
Lo and behold! A midlife crisis hit, and after 40 years of not even thinking about it, I thought to myself: “Hmm… We only live once. What’s the harm in trying?” and started to experiment with singing. And the guitar comes with singing like bread with butter, so I bought myself one six months ago. The last time I had a guitar in my hands was when I was a teen (I tried playing Gilmour’s solos on a crappy guitar that couldn’t stay in tune for more than 5 minutes). I started noodling around, trying to create a program to teach myself. And of course, Justin’s videos quickly became my go-to whenever I want to learn anything new, be it a song or a concept (he even taught me how to change strings on my guitar properly!)
Unfortunately, my brain doesn’t allow me to follow any structured path, so it’s always a mishmash of ideas, techniques, songs, etc. But I haven’t given up on the dream of working through Justin’s courses nevertheless (a man can dream, right?)
And so here I am
It’s very hard for me to listen to myself, whether it’s my playing or, especially, my singing, but I realized that I have to do it to give myself at least some feedback. So I’ve decided to regularly post songs, even when it feels painful.
So here’s where I’m at right now: my current level of playing and singing.
Any suggestions, criticism, hints, or advice would be much welcomed and appreciated.
