Hi everyone, I’m Dave, a long time lurker here and greedy consumer of Justin’s content since the early days of YouTube. I’m a creative professional from England, working mainly with animation, video and a bit of audio production. I’ve been half-heartedly attempting to learn guitar for my entire adult life, but this is the first year where I feel myself making some modest progress. I’m here to finally get the fundamentals down while learning some theory that I can apply to guitar and keys too.
So as well as tackling the the beginner and intermediate stuff, I am enrolled in the practical theory course too.
I’ve always enjoyed making my own music (electronic / synthwave / ambient ) and my ultimate goal is to be able to confidently lay down some killer improvised guitar over these tracks. I have many cheesy synthwave and retro 80s tracks that would sound brilliant with an epic guitar solo.
So, here I am, learning bit by bit for pleasure only. Looking forward to getting to know some of you and sharing the experience.
Great to have you, Dave!
Also mucked around with my keyboard and recording lots of years ago, but me only on a very basic level.
Hope you’ll have lots of fun with the guitar!
And looking forward to your music!
Hi Dave.
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.
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
