Hi everyone, I am Swashata (bit hard to pronounce, so just Swas ). I am a software engineer by profession. Always wanted to learn guitar, but many a things (or could just be my procrastination) got in the way, but no more.
So I got my first acoustic guitar in October and started fiddling with the Yousician app. In a month I realised I am not getting anywhere, especially my sound wasn’t rhythmic and didn’t enjoy it much. A little YouTube search and I came across Justin, and wow!
I got the app and have really committed myself (hopefully). I can actually measure that I am getting better (still a very amateur though). Heard Justin’s advice loud and clear and immediately bought an electric guitar, hehe. I must say, I am enjoying it very much and everything, Justin’s advice, songs, strums, rhythms, riffs, looking at my guitar every morning, everything is so inspiring. I am loving it. It’s like a way for me to express myself. I hope to get better everyday and learn from you all.
PS: Thank you very much for reading all my jibber jabbers
Hello Swashata and warm welcome.to Community! Using the app, Justin’s resources and being with us here will bring you plenty of ways to develop and learn to play and should make your journey a lot more interesting! All the best
Hi Swas,nice to meet you here. I started learning with Justin a year ago with no musical knowledge at all and i’ve made pretty good progress. Good easy to understand lessons, loads of resources and plenty of people around on here to help. All the best, Tim

Hi Swas good to see you here and great that you are starting out on this never ending journey. Also huge congrats on posting your first AOVYP despite only being a few months into learning. That’s is the best way to observe your own improvements and the feedback will be invaluable. Well done for taking an early dip into that pool, Keep them coming.
You’re in a great environment here if you want to progress with guitar. Brilliant teaching from Justin, and a vast number of very knowledgeable and friendly folk here to help you along the way.
Folks here from Day 1 to decades of experience. We’re all here to share and help each other along. So just ask when you need some answers.
Looking forward to seeing you progress.
Cheers, Shane.
Hi Swas, glad to meet you! I think Justin really has a knack for teaching that makes it inspiring. I took in-person lessons for 3 years and although I learned a lot of theory I still couldn’t play anything. I found Justin and am going back to the basics learning things I skipped over before and having a blast! Stick with it and you will go far!
Welcome Swashata! I think you’ll find you’re in good company - a lot of people here tried other methods before finding Justin’s and discovering something they could stick with. Keep up your structured practice and you’ll make a lot of progress.
