Hi Mandy, nice to meet you. Good luck with the guitar learning journey. Guitar is a bit more enduro than a sprint so you will probably be well suited.
Best wishes,
Alan
Awesome! Hi back! Great to see some other Kiwis are following Justin!
Hi Alan. Haha! I agree. Itās definitely endurance. I learnt that the hard way earlier on! Now Iām more relaxed about it all. Enjoy your playing as well : )
Hi Helen! Thank you! It has been lots of fun so far! You enjoy your guitar journey as well : )
HaHa Yes! Still physically challenging but in a different way. Teaching my fingers to move fast is quite the task but Iām getting there : )
Thanks heaps Lisa! I wish you the same enjoyment : )
Hi Steve. Gosh yes! The electric guitar is a different kettle of fish altogether! Amp settings just add the equation!! Happy learning as well!! : )
Hi Roger. Thank you for the welcome! All the best for your playing as well! : )
Hi Rachel. Thank you! Yesā¦ I have got a few friends interested as well. Its helping to keep us young (well, we would like to think that it is anyway haha!)
Thank you for the welcome! Iāll check out the Old Dogs thread as well! : )
Thank you Nicole! Iām a year out from the workshop and super excited. I guess thatās called Getting Your Monies Worth haha! Happy playing! : )
Welcome to the mad house Mandy. Good to see that Justin was your bounce back tutor and good to see that you are now staying the course. Youāll have no regrets and have the support of this fine community along the way, to keep you on the straight and narrow.
Thank you! It was so funny having to keep my JustinGuitar habit secret from two of my guitar tutors. They really couldnāt cope with the idea that I was following him. The third tutor appreciated his skills as much as I did so that was great and we enjoyed chatting about his methodology as much as we enjoyed the guitar playing. Happy playing!
Hi Mandy, welcome. Good playing guitar is keeping you busy and channelling part of the energy that you were putting before in you endurance sport racing. Hopefully you have found some physical activity that works for your current physical condition. You can give it a try to as many musical genres as you can as part of the learning, but at the end there would be some only that like you more and motivates you more for learning. Have fun
Welcome Mandy! There isnāt a better avenue to learning the ropes of being a musician than the people here inspired by Justinās tutelage. Rock on
