My Name is Kevin, I am 29 Years old and live in Hannover (Germany). I started with music as a Child, when I got Violin lessons. It really wasn’t that much fun, but I stuck with it quite some time. After that I had an off-and-on-relationship with guitar for about 10 years, and then stopped playing music all along for a couple of years.
But then - Covid! Suddenly I had a loooooot of spare time and started making music again! I found JustinGuitar pretty quick and loved it! I started with Modul 1, Lesson 1 and did every lesson, until Modul 5 over the last two years. It was great, because I could finally fill in the blanks that I had.
Right now I am playing a lot of Fingerstile stuff, like Jazz arrangements, and already posted one video here in the forum. Really thankful for your great feedback I am super curious for the Jazz Lessons in Module 6, but I promised myself to not skip lessons, so I think ill stuck in module 5 for a while still (It is great content anyway! )
So… In a pretty chaotic world (I know, very dramatic), with my guitar I finally have something that would depend on anything else but the work I put into the instrument. That really helped me a lot, and I am super grateful to Justin and his wonderful team for this gift that got me through the last 2,5 years So, thanks a lot to everybody involved - I couldn’t have done it without you!
Hey Kevin, welcome along!
That’s some musical background you have there, I think many of us relate only to well to Covid being a kickstart either into or back into music. Sounds like you have a pretty diverse skillset as you’ve already shown in your AVOYP post.
Terrific to have you with us, no doubt you’ll take alot from Justin’s courses
Thanks for adding and Intro and sharing some of your background, Kevin. I look forward to your continued participation and continued sharing of jazz standards.
