I’m Lisa, 28, living in the south of France and I’ve started guitar like… a week ago ?
I’ve trying playing when I was around 14 but stopped because I didn’t know how to manage to “teach myself”. I’ve played a little bit of piano instead, and it really made me feel happy at this time, then I stopped when I started going to college because of lack of time (by the way, I’m a pediatric dentist).
I always wanted to try again guitar, and as a huge a fan of The Last of Us, the new season airing with this “take on me” scene (if you know, you know), just brought again this obsession so I decided to buy a guitar and start. I bought a Parlor because it feels like classic guitars are “too big” for me and the neck too large, and I wanted to feel comfortable. I changed the strings to extra light ones and find this Justin Guitar website which I love and I really wanna be serious about my learning to serenade my friends later
It’s been a week and I finished module 2… let’s see how it goes (my fingers of BOTH my hands hurt now as the left ones hurt because of the guitar and the right ones from some bites from kids )
I am up the other end of the country Bretagne/Normandie borders close to Mont St Michel. Hope you enjoyed your first week, there will be many more to come.
Salut Lisa, soit la bienvenue. Je suis moi-même débutant et mes doigts ont beaucoup souffert également Maintenant après 4 mois cela va beaucoup mieux. N’hésites pas si besoin…
First off welcome to the community. Super stoked you found it. There are a ton of resources and there are a lot of great people who are very encouraging and friendly.
The Last of Us is so good. So many great songs from the show and the game. I am also a big fan of Fall Out, there are a lot of cool songs to play from there as well.
Speaking of The Last of Us, I have been working on the Pearl Jam song ‘Future Days’ I am playing and singing Joels version rather than Ellie, I guess thats really Eddie’s from Pearl Jam’s version. It is such a good song, but It’s so sad . I love your avatar and the background.
Oh yeah, The finger pain is temporary, push through it and soon it will be gone and your fingers will be super strong before you know it.
Hello Lisa.
No cordyceps here, just nice folk!
