Hi folks, Viktor's gonna get you wherever you are!

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

To start with, I am closer to 50 than 45, yet I bought my first ever guitar last December. One day I woke up and felt the irresistible desire to have my own electric guitar. Had never learnt music, never played any instrument before. Never too late to start, is it?

I received my first ever :love_you_gesture:Iron Maiden :love_you_gesture: tape when I was 12, I’ve been their fan ever since, seen them on stage 7 times already, the 8th will be in June (fingers crossed).

I had completed the first two levels on Yousician when I signed up for a local guitar forum in Hungary a couple of days ago where somebody recommended that I try justinguitar.com. Justin, I thought, who the heck he could be? Can’t be Timberlake, can he? Then I checked the site and it was love at first sight.

This is something totally different than I have seen before. Justin is a nice bloke, I like his style and content, I have already completed the first few beginner lessons. I really believe this is a game changer.

My key learnings so far (some did not come from Justin):

  • Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie
  • Big Cats Eat Fast
  • my posture is wrong
  • I hold the pick with 3 fingers whereas I should hold it between the first two :frowning:
  • pinky is a damned finger
  • hate chords

I loved every minute of it!

Greetings to all wannabe rockstars and guitar lovers from Hungary.

Hello and welcome Viktor. :slight_smile:

Stick with Justin’s course and you will be romping along in no time. You’ll see your own progression and it’s a wonderful thing.

Hi Viktor good to see you here.

I guess as a Maiden fan that Eddie phrase must have jumped out at you. Also a big Iron’s fan but I have been slow to get a copy of the lase album, despite having the full back catalogue. Welcome to the JGC !

Cheers

Thanks, Toby.

Actually this phrase is not my idea, I first heard it from Marty Music, he is also a very nice guy.

But it is very easy to remember, honestly speaking up until now I have not associated this Eddie with THE Eddie. :slight_smile:

But from now on, THE Eddie will come to my mind whenever I strum the thickest and thinnest string. :slight_smile:

Welcome Viktor, know that you are not the only one close to 50 who has recently begun. I’m not too fast but I’m having fun. You will too.

I started at the age of 53, ten years later I’m so glad I stuck with it. Such fun
