I am fully hoping that I do have to eat his dust. I will then know my plan to encourage him has worked. And hopefully I’ll be not too shabby and have a new hobby.
Thanks for your message. I will ask questions thats for sure!
Thats awesome. Well done on inspiring your daughter, that is great. Enjoy the journey with her.
Thanks Brian. I am having a blast learning, as it’s something i always thought I wouldn’t be able to do. So hopefully the joy on my face at the little wins at the moment, will keep him inspired.
I am really having a blast. Right now, if he doesn’t continue I will hope to get him back to it but I will be continuing to enjoy myself.

Thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I will look into getting looked over at the local shop shortly to see if it needs any changes, as I hadn’t thought of that.
A stand is on the list as well, as I will be picking up regularly.
Thanks Tod

Hello Matt.
May you have years of happy musical families ahead.
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.
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
