Hello everyone! I have been doing this Justin Guitar thing off and on for a year or two. I took it serious in the past 8 to 10 months. I am working on my strumming patterns now and I’m on the beginner level two. I have found that the songs tend to be somewhat repetitive in my current skill set and I get kind of bored with the same four chord progressions. I do find that I like doing the old “mash up” when I’m just playing for me.
I really like the fingerstyle mixed into the lessons. I’m currently working on nothing else matters and can do part of it. I will say I have read many of the topics here but have not posted before but you all have kept me motivated to continue! Thanks everybody!

Greetings from a next-door neighbor in Minnesota.
Greetings from someone about as far away from being next-door in Australia.
Great to meet you. Fingerstyle is a lot of fun and my first love with acoustic guitar.
Look forward to hearing more from you.
Also far away: Warsaw, Poland, but sending my warmest greetings and welcome, nonetheless 
Welcome aboard 
Welcome to the community!
Welcome to the group. I’m Jeff from San Diego California. I was born in Milwaukee and spent my youth watching the brewers play at county stadium where the movie major league was filmed with Bob hurler and Charlie sheen. Good memories but haven’t been back in forever.
I get what you’re saying about it being boring if you go step by step by the book. My advice is mix it up and start playing the songs you love right away. Keep it fun or you will want to quit, record your progress and enjoy small victories. The most important thing is to enjoy the journey. I went from being awful and discouraged to playing on stage last night here. You will get there and you don’t need to be perfect or a master before moving on. If something isn’t clicking put it on the shelf and move on for now.
Hello Zach & Welcome!!!
Having fun is the key!!! Keep a smile while playing & you’ll never stop!!!
