Hi i am Tjeerd in Germany

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

I have been playing some time. Got my first Guitar in the 1970’s, and strummed a little, and tried to fingerpick a lttle. Travelled around a lot since then, and never got to play with other people much. Got back into playing guitar from 2013, and started to learn a little singing as well. Got myself Justin Guitar Songbooks, and worked through some of the songs that I had heard before (Gosh all those 80’s and 90’s songs which I missed and did not know ) Found myself some places and people to play with, have been doing some workshops and DVD courses, and am working on my country blues repertoire, as well as jamming skills. These days I play together with people playing the Bluesharp. There are still so many things to learn…

Where ever I am in this journey, I would not have gotten here without the materials I got from Justin’s website and Youtube channel. So a big thanks for that.

Hi Tjeerd, welcome to the community. That’s a sentiment that rings true for me as well. My parents were both from Germany, I sure enjoyed visiting Germany back in 2006.

Hi Tjeerd,
Or should I say, “Gutten Tag Tjeerd - Wei Gehts?” Milos here from Queensland Australia. Sorry if my attempt at speaking/writing in German was wrong - haven’t attempted it since about 1974 when I was learning it in High School :astonished: Welcome to the Community - I think you will find that there are a lot of us here with similar experiences and the same love of music and guitars.
Regards
Milos

Hello Tjeers, a slightly belated welcome to the community.
Wow, what a guitar journey you have been on and continue to enjoy.
I love the fact that you saw learning opportunities in new songs and new genres, in things that were not familiar to you. Kudos for being open to that and embracing it all.
Cheers :smiley:
