I came across JustinGuitar quite quickly when I decided to start learning guitar, online recommendations. I looked around and started Grade 1 a little over 2 months ago, very happy I did.
Piano and guitar were always my ultimate instrument choices. I chose piano first about 6 years ago for some 4 years, but for a lot of reasons my experience with it was a little tainted, and sort of left me with a little earworm doubting whether I’m doing things right, making things like “trusting the process” very anxiety-inducing to me and trusting my own judgement not really easy. Anyways, loving both instruments, I felt a fresh start would be better than trying piano again at the moment and here I am.
I know I want music in my life, so there’s that. I’m hoping to do things differently enough this time, and I think joining such a supportive community like this is a good part of that. Hope I’ll be able to add something as well.
Hello Norhan, welcome to the community .
Learning to play an instrument is so valuable. I feel very happy for you for having started a new and exciting musical journey .
Welcome to the community Norhan, and know that you are not the only one with a voice in your head doubting whether your are doing things right. That’s everyone. You’ll spend a lot of time and burning anxiety fuel doing things wrong - until you start to get them right. Then you’ll move on to something more challenging that you can’t get right - until you do. Remember, if playing guitar (or most any instrument) were easy, everyone would do it.
Hi Norhan, welcome to the community forum. I learned piano before I learned guitar. I think any musical knowledge on one instrument helps you with another, like the guitar. Have fun learning guitar the right way with Justin’s lessons and song tutorials.
Hey Norhan, welcome to the community. Everyone finds their own motivation, for me it was songs, songs songs. Once I learned to play my first song all the way through I couldn’t wait to start on the next song.
