I’m an older beginner on guitar but have played saxophone in the past so have some experience with music & music theory. Found Justin’s site back in 2019. Have been starting and stopping on this guitar journey for these past 5-6 yrs so not much progress to speak of though lots of inspiration from Justin’s site. Mostly interested in Blues, Jazz Ballads/Standards and Classical guitar, but like most any music. Just watched the Beginners Club session on Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight. I use to play this on the sax so looking forward to giving it a go on the guitar.
Thanks.

Hi Tony, welcome to the community forum. I followed Justin on and off for a few years and started making progress when I found a time during each day that I could always find time for guitar. That was early in the morning for me, but any time you can consistently play guitar is good. Consistency leads to progress. Actually, for me, it took consistency, following Justin’s recommended practice plans from the beginning, starting a learning log, recording myself and making sure I was having fun learning and playing songs. I hope you have a lot of fun in your guitar journey.
Hi Tony ,
Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun 
Greetings,Rogier 
Welcome to our Community Tony. How nice to have some musical background already, it’ll be helpful in your guitar journey!
We’re here very supportive to eachother so that some frustration along the journey becomes “shared” and more bearable…oh and the little victories along the way, we try to acknowledge them and it’s like having a party together at each one achievements ( big or small).
See you around here

Hello Tony.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. There a whole host of golden oldies over in the dog house.
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

Thank you to all for the warm welcome. I’m looking forward to finally have sometime to spend on learning this instrument.
