Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hello everyone,
My name is Stephen and basically I have just discovered this part of justin’s site.
I have owned a squire strat for several years, which never got the serious attention it deserved, and I wondered why I wasn’t getting better quicker. Last new year I decided to start from the beginner course grade 1 again… But properly. I am now consolidating my beginner knowledge by working through the old lessons. I pick the guitar up everyday and I am really enjoying it… Which is the main thing. I like that this community exists and feel it is a great way to talk to people going through the same process a d maybe get some pointers along the way. :relaxed:

Hi Stephen welcome to the forum!

Well done for giving learning another go and sticking with it its not easy.

My advice so far is to ignore all those people who warn against GAS

Thanks Rob… So I had no idea what GAS meant. Searched topics and realised that anybody warning me against gas would be too late anyway. Haha. Lockdown encouraged it :rofl::rofl:

That’s fantastic. Keep at it. We visited Northern Ireland and 2006 and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Welcome to the community.

My advice is that GPS is far better to catch for improving yourself with the guitar as compared to GAS.

Hi Steven welcome to the community. Glad to see you’re restarting your playing never any harm to go back to beginning. I remember doing that several times during the Old beginners course. Slow and steady wins the day. Any questions just shout out plenty of people here to help out.

Welcome aboard, Stephen.

Look forward to hearing a bit more from you (esp. twanging the 6-string)

Hi Stephen, welcome to the community! I think for many of us having the positive vibes and support of this wonderful community is just as important to the journey as Justin’s fantastic lessons. I know it really helps keep me going when I start to stall and get discouraged. Looking forward to seeing you around and hearing and seeing you play sometime in #record-yourself-progress-performance:audio-video-of-you-playing !
