Hey everyone! I started with Justin’s beginner courses a few months back and I’m just about to cross over into Beginner Grade 2. I’m also using another platform for vocal lessons and have been writing alot of lyric over the past 6 months or so. It’s always been a dream of mine to be able to play the guitar and sing and my goal in the future is to perform on stage. At 55, I got a late start but I’m putting the work in every day and starting to see (and hear) my progress. The teaching style has been great and after messing around with other platforms and apps, I’m all in on Justin Guitar for the long haul. I use the app too and it’s been a great addition, especially the chord changes for me. I love learning and practicing and have really been enjoying the journey so far. Excited to now drop in and become a member of the community!
Hello Chris & Welcome!!!
Congratulations to you for finding Justin Guitar & for finishing Grade 1!!!
Grade 2 will be introducing a lot of new material, try not to rush through… take time to internalize & absorb each lesson. I went through Grade 2 as fast as I could because I was so excited. Then ended up repeating most of the lessons later!!!
Having the App helps too! The guitar karaoke aspect is fun & useful! I like to watch the lessons in the app at times when I don’t have my guitar (like in a doctor’s waiting room for example) & then do the corresponding lessons on the web site when I have my guitar. Seems to help a bit!
Most importantly, always keep it fun!!! The more fun you’re having, the more you play, the better you get & the more fun it is!!!
Also, this Community is a great resource for when you have questions or issues!
Good luck!!!

Welcome @cpaulrhodes! What platform are you using for vocal lessons???
Welcome to the community Chris!
Hi Chris, welcome to the Community, take it easy, take it slow and have fun
Hi Christopher, welcome to the community. I wish you the best in reaching your goals of singing and playing the guitar. You can do that with help from Justin’s lessons. I find that the Song Lessons on the website are great for learning to play and sing. Justin shows how to play with simple chords and strums and then how to make the song more interesting as an accompaniment for your voice. You can filter the songs by grade, by chords or by genre.
Hi Christopher ,
Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun 
Greetings,Rogier
Hi Christopher
Welcome to the forum. Nice to hear that there’s another singer/guitar player joining the community.
I would be interested to know which vocal course you are following, and whether you recommend it, as I was thinking of starting to do some voice training.
Best, Ian
