Hi everyone, I’m Mike and I live in Massachusetts in the US. I’m one of those geezers who’s been trying to play the guitar for 50 years and really just got serious about it around 5 years ago. Like many of us, I got caught up in online videos and such but I’ve been a student of Justin’s for about 2 years and he has helped me tremendously. My technical skills are still not where I’d like them to be but I have plenty of time to practice and I’m committed. I love the blues and blues-based rock, so I’ve been looking forward to this course since I first heard about it. I feel like I’m ready and I can’t wait to learn what Justin and the team have to teach us. Best to everyone!

Welcome to the community Mike!
Hello Mike.
Enjoy BLIM. Have you found the BLIM Class 5 area of the Community yet?
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 - 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
