Hello! I’m Ronnie Franco from Peru. I’m one of the (very) few Latin American or Spanish-speaking students here. I have been around for a month now but I’m finally here to introduce myself.
My guitar journey started when I was 17 years old (I’m currently 33) when my dad bought me my first electric guitar. I spent years playing metal riffs and power chords and never got to put myself through proper lessons. Yes, believe it or not, it’s only now that I’m learning chords, scales and, FINALLY, music theory. I mean…I can play Metallica’s Master of Puppets (except Kirk’s solo though lol) but I was never able to play other simple chord songs. Crazy right? lol But I guess it’s better late than never. One advantage I have is that I noticed that I don’t have much problem with quick chord changes because I guess I’m kind of accustomed to quick riffs and power chord changing. The one disadvantage I have learning through Justinguitar is that I’m learning notes in English (A B C D E F G) when in Spanish we use the classical European terms (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si). I still struggle a bit matching letters to note names. But it’s really a tiny disadvantage compared to the fact that learning here is a lot better than learning through any guitar lessons websites in Spanish. I tried a few but none really did it for me. I’m really glad I found Justinguitar and be part of this community!!
