Mike, 26 years old here. Six years ago I bought my first guitar OM160-VS for 65$. On high school I was thinking about playing acoustic guitar, because I love music and especially acoustic versions of songs. But when I tried guitar it was really hard for me and I did not know what to do… so I gave up and put my guitar inside case to vault. Now… after six years I am older, ye who would say that, and really interested in learning guitar. I put guitar out of case and found that “horse” (that wood by the hole, where are attached string) was going out. So I took it out, made some brushing and sticked it together… not professional, but I could start. I bought my first ever string which are BlackSmith 11. I was looking on many YouTube videos and started to play according AndysGuitar, but after few days I felt like it is not for me… I was looking more and found guys like Paul Davids and JustinGuitar. I checked Justins page and because there is lot of free stuff I started to learn by him. Now I can play D, A and E. I can play strumming pattern DDUUDU. Also I am practicing Peter Gunn Theme. I am Grade 1 Module 3, but I really feel good, because I can see progress. Like when I first did my chord changes between D and A I was on 24 changes per minute. Two days later 40 and few days later 63. Its awesome how great it works and I am really happy for it.
Few days ago I bought new guitar, because my OM160-VS sounds “without” color and crisp to me. So I bought electroacoustic Takamine GD10CE and I am learning from beginning, because guitar feels a little bit different in my hands. It is gonna take few days and I will be ready to go on by module.
Thanks everyone who read it to this point and I wish you your playing and guitar in a great tune.

Hello Michal,
a hello from yet an other neighbour
I live in Nuremberg, and have been in the Czech Republic countless times over the last 15 years. I love the country so much and I have friends especially in Prague. I’ve been there just 4 weeks ago even.
You seem to enjoy the progress you are making with the JustinGuitar course, that’s great to read. Congratulations on your new guitar also! I wish you lots of fun with your guitar journey, and with and in the community here!
Hello Mike from the United States! So happy for you that the guitar is again part of your life! You are beginning a wonderful journey which is so rewarding & makes one feel so good when goals are reached! Good Luck!
Hello Mike, welcome to the community. Your Takamine looks like a very good beginner to intermediate guitar. I’m sure will will have much fun playing songs on your guitar as you progress through the JG modules.
Cool! I used to travel to Germany around Schwerin on my highschool, cause I am gastronomy guy. Also I visited Drazdany last year. Really like your country, but I struggle with germany. Hope you enjoy playing in guitar.
Thanks Tod, I would like to play some folky music one day like John Butler and… I just want to enjoy some sunrise and sunfalls while I am streaming my guitar. What else could we wish?
