Hi Stuart and welcome.
Just to say if you were not aware the BC book refers to the old course that was rewritten a few years back so will not correlate with the new grade system but its loosely Grade 1 & 2. The old classic course is still available on the site an mirrors the book. But the new grades have more content and some updated teaching methods.
Good to see you playing again.

Welcome Stuart! Justin’s Beginner Coursebook is a great source, although I would highly recommend to use the website to follow the course, as the content has been relaunched and updated. Nevertheless, the books are a great addition. Have fun!
Edit: just saw, the @TheMadman_tobyjenner was faster than me and already answered, while I was typing!

Welcome Stuart, don’t be afraid to ask. Someone is always there with advice and it seems everyone has been there before and knows exactly how to help beginners out. Good luck

Hi Stu, welcome to the forum. I’m in my 13th year of playing guitar, having a ball with it, and the Justin Beginner songbook is what I started with. Look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Stu, I’m in UK too and started years ago with JGs beginner book, and the CD strumming course 
which was brilliant but life happened and I gave up! Fast forward a few years and his website really provides everything you need so have been working with the free stuff. Then bought more books, bought the beginner app when it first came out too so I could properly revisit everything and get all the songs (and pay a bit back) .
Now on the Blues Immersion and am mind blown 
but enjoying my studies.
Good luck on your journey. Little and often is best for your fingers until they’re stronger.

blues immersion is where I’m aiming for once I get going again
Hi Stuart, welcome to the community forum. I learned with the Beginner course book and the classic lessons (when I was learning it was the only lessons), Then I started at the beginning with the new updated lessons. Grades 1 and 2 in the correct website lessons covers all of the classic 9 stages of the beginner course. Grade 3 is now all new lessons. Be patient and practice a little each day and it will eventually get easier and less painful.
