Just a brief intro but I’ve been with Justin since 2013 when I started the old Beginners Course.
Got my first guitar in '96 but never really found the right teaching materials or had the right focus to make it a success. When I retired at 55 in 2011 I decided that needed to change and after a while of more self teaching, I found Justin’s website and the rest you can say is history.
I still see myself as an Advanced Beginner, currently working on Blues Lead and the last year more focused on singing and playing, which I just could not do until a year ago. I have just gone back to learning fingerstyle, as my objective for 2022 is playing fingerstyle AND singing at the same time ! To date I’ve recorded over 60 tracks including 2 originals (audio and video) that have charted my progress from born-again-beginner to where I am now, which I have shared with the JustinGuitar Community. And I guess that’s about it, so thanks for listening.
Sample of my recordings can be found on Soundcloud
And I see my avatar … profile pic … came across from the JustinGuitar website automatically.
When I have power again (don’t get my started) then will work on the picture as per the newsletter request and perhaps use the same source to improve the profile pic.
Hello there Mr P ! Nice of you to drop in. I’m kinda glad I screwed up my retreat timeline, as it gives me a few hours to mess around here ! Every cloud…
Yes the @ tag is a nice feature.
As to the Roadcase, could not see a heading for that in the list of “categories” but early days. I will have to rewrite the intro at least, so it makes sense as it started 5 years ago and re populate many of the photos which were hosted on another site but all up on IMGUR these days.
And I just discovered that there is an option to see which post you are replying to by clicking avatar in too right corner of the reply, pretty cool. However quick reply is not adjusted to phone browser as if I click a few options those are sort of out of the screen, I will post it in my feedback post.
Hiya everyone,
Just signed up and logged in. I’ll take a while to mosey around and read what you all found out before I start spamming myself.
Good to see you on board Toby- I was afraid you were spitting the dummy
Never seen so many posts from a madman in such a short time, esp. right after announcing a period of 24-hour silence.
This is gonna be great (and much easier than playing guitar!)
As much as you try, you won’t get rid of me that easy lah !! I am just old protective godfather, who will lament the loss of such treasured information, as if it never existed, while the new kids on the block have their words carried into eternity or until the next rebuild, Anyway with you me and David we’ll soon fill this new fangle doofer thing up with meaningless waffle, pretending we are guitar sages. Keep typing Grommet !
