hi there, I’m Shannon. I live in rural Ontario, Canada. I’m just about to turn 56, and picked up a guitar for the first time a few weeks back, and I’ve become consumed by it. I really want to learn fingerstyle, but am starting from the first lessons, and learning fingerstyle patterns as part of my daily practice. nice to be here.

Welcome Shannon! I’m a bit biased, but I think you’ve found a good place to learn guitar. You have good instincts too, it seems - knowing your goals, and still attending on all the steps leading to accomplishing them (that is, the non-Fingerstyle lessons 
). Hope to see you around the Community!

Hello Shannon.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space. View by Categories.
We are a supportive and encouraging group of students and guitarists from across the world. Essentially, we are all here for music and to improve as players. We truly are a ‘community’. Members help and support one another and a friendly, positive attitude underpins this. We hope that all - young or old, experienced or new players - adopt and foster the pay-it-forward ethos that Justin personifies and embedded all those years ago when he started the website and forum.
Also, please make sure to read the Community Etiquette announcement for some important information and guidance.
If you want to record yourself to show your progress and / or seek feedback there is our ever popular Community Recordings section.
Behind the scenes there is a small and dedicated team who work to make the JustinGuitar experience as good as it can be. Check out the Onboarding sessions provided by Fanny. Justin also has a small group of Approved Teachers he recommends for people wanting 1-to-1 lessons to supplement his courses - of which I am privileged to be one.
That is plenty to be going on with. It is a vast community space so if you need help as you find your way around just ask.
Cheers. Richard
