Hi from Faridabad, India

You can call me tonkyponky, obviously not my real name.

I’m 24, from Faridabad, Haryana, India. I have acoustic guitar since 2015, but I never bothered to learn until I found Justin in October 2023, through some online forums. I never had any offline guitar class mainly because most play classical or religious stuff. I don’t mean that they are bad, just not my taste. I play music for the sole purpose of having fun and doing justice with music while staying away from politics and religious stuff.

Now after completing my 1 year here, I really love how much I learned from playing songs which are not in my language of origin but I really love its flavour (sorry, don’t know the appropriate term lol). Example would be Wonderwall by Oasis, I know most here would be sick of it but for me its fun, entertaining and fresh.

Currently in grade 2, module 11 and working on:

  1. Fingerstyle basics
  2. Exploring sus chords
  3. Happy Birthday fingerstyle
  4. Learning to sing songs which I have learnt to play in previous modules.

I am open to learn a song together and share progress as long as its not out of scope of my skill level and preferably in English or Hindi although I’m not afraid of trying other language, so feel free to reach out.

Hoping to soon drop my first AVOYP and maybe update my profile pick.

Cheers,
And keep stumming
