Hi all nice to meet you - I'm Andy

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hi, just to introduce myself to the community.
My name is Andy and I have been playing guitar for some years now.
When I say ‘playing’ guitar, what I mean is I pick up the guitar every 6 months or so, play for a few weeks then put away again…no progress whatsoever.
Up until last Christmas, I was playing an acoustic that my lovely wife brought me a few years earlier.
My also lovely daughters got me a second hand electric for Xmas and my wife got the amp and I haven’t looked back since.
That’s when I discovered Justin!!!
His teachings have kept me enthused and excited, and I can see real progress.
Thanks to Justin, I have developed a love of blues music and the blues language.
The next step on my journey will be the blues immersion workshop ( I hate the word ‘journey’ ).
Oh, did I mention I will be 59 this year, I feel I have a whole life of music ahead of me, never too old and all that.
Thanks for letting me be part of a fantastic community.
Cheers !!!

Hi Andy, welcome to the family! Your history of years of intermittent playing without real progress will resonate with many here - it certainly does with me. If you haven’t already you may enjoy taking a look at this post:

Welcome to the community! I too am closing fast on 59, and we are in good company at this age. Justin has been an even keel to my learning for 3 years, and thank goodness because the rest of me is luffing.

Welcome to JGC forum, Andy, … “enthused and excited” with your rediscovered “commitment” is all you need, sir.
Enjoy the ride !

Hey Andy, nice to meet you. I started playing when I was 53 and now that I’m 66 I’m just thrilled with the reward that being able to play music does for me.

Hallo Andy, welcome to the JG family. You’re never too old to start playing guitar.
There are a lot of older people starting to play an instrument. As a 72 year young man I started my journey last april when I found the Justin course on YouTube. I hope your new journey does not stop after 6 months as you wrote in your text. Succes and have lots of fun.

Regards from the Netherlands

Hi Andy, nice back story and it sounds so familiar :grinning:. Looking forwards to seeing that Course too so I’ll probably see you about. :+1:
