Hello from Steve in Puerto Rico, by way of NY

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hello Justin’s Guitar world,
My name is Steve and I live in Puerto Rico. I am originally from Central NY. I have been a percussionist my entire life and wanted to venture into the world of notes and chords. During the pandemic, I started teaching myself the Saxophone, but realized that it just was not what I was looking for. I bought my first Guitar almost 1 year ago. I do not say that I am self-taught because Justin’s Guitar has provided me with the structure and lessons to make great progress. I practice between 6-20 hours per week. I am eager to begin the Blues immersion course because I love being challenged and pushed… I look forward to learning alongside all of you and getting to know you better, and I hope we all enjoy learning more about ourselves and the Blues.

Hi Steve, welcome to the community forum. Your background as a percussionist will give you a great advantage with strumming rhythms. I’m sure you will advance to 16th note rhythm patterns quickly.

Hello Steve.
Enjoy your deep dive into blues playing.

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.

We also host regular (virtual) JustinGuitar Community Open Mic events for community members.

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
