Hi Zoey and welcome!

I think you will find that you will learn a ton following Justin’s beginner course.

Brain stew is a super fun song to play :guitar: Feel free to ask questions if you get stuck with anything! You‘ll find that many here are willing to help :blush:

Enjoy your guitar journey!

Nice Zoey, I always loved Greenday, plus they are from good old Penole CA.

Keep punking it up and do all of justines lessons starting at the begining, he has so much packed into his beginning series, that if you skip around you will miss stuff. Also I was suprised how much I missed when I started learning song I was not 100% stoked about from the song list. But then wow that technique is so helpfull why didnt I know that? Kind of thing, I figured that out once I started using the filters in the song list. (It was a, ‘Should I learn all the songs from his beginner song book1’? type thing)

At first I was like im not learning any counrty songs, but then I realized they really are helpful with rhythm and chord changing. If you can play Country well you can play rockabilly so yeah good stuff all around.

Keep working justins program and you will be all over the neck in no time.

Hi Zoey,

Beginner here too. I’ve been following the guitar course and the Practical Music Theory course. My thoughts are take it slow, try to get everything solidly under your belt as move through. I just love playing and singing so my course following is quite slow because as I learn and become comfortable with techniques, chords or whatever I wander off track and start learning more songs I like :face_with_peeking_eye:

I’m a Green Day fan too so my advice, as you learn chords, find songs that you know and can relate to and enjoy the journey.

Well, but it’s slow progress and takes commitment and time. :+1:

Hi Zoey, welcome!

I love Green Day too, and might I recommend another easy Green Day song to learn? Warning.

Warning has just 3 power chords - A D and G - and a simple repeating pattern: AAAA, DDDD, GGGG, DDDD. And you can scale up as your ability increases - start with a single strum of A, D, G, D, then as you improve you can do two strums of each chord, and eventually work up to 4 strums.

Anyway, have fun and enjoy the journey!
