Hi, I'm Michael from Maryland, USA

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

I’m 15, and my story starts with one night I couldn’t sleep, and I asked my brother, what is music theory? so he explained the basics, what are notes, chords, scales, etc. and from then on I just had a passion for music theory.

so I had all these instruments I wanted to play, like I had an entire list and my dad said to just start out with the guitar. but we didn’t have the money to get one, and what happened was I was trying to learning everything there is to guitar, for three months until I got one,

so now I have been practicing day and night for 6 months on JustinGuitar and I already made it to grade 3!

Welcome to JGC forum Michael,
Grade 3 already … well done.
I bet you are finding learning guitar with a guitar much more fun, but I am sure you gave yourself a good start from studying some music before that.
Keep practising, and enjoy learning and playing songs too. … :sunglasses:

Hi Michael, welcome to the community forum. Back in the day (30 odd years back) my son started learning to play guitar, he was 16 years old, and he got to be darn good and darn quick too. So here’s hoping you can stick with it. Good Luck.
