Cheers everybody. I thought that with just turned 50 years old, it might be a good idea to learn a new instrument. I’m not completely new to strings, play a little bit of bass and have since years an acoustic which I’m noodling around every once in a while. Just pulled yesterday the trigger on an electric guitar + amp. Looking for some online resources I was stumbling over this platform and thought I’ll give it a try. Looking forward learning some Blues…
Best, Boris

Welcome Boris. You chose the right place. Follow Justin’s structure and you’ll be well on your way. It sounds like you have a good head start already.

Hi Boris and welcome 
You’ll find life with 2 more strings on a brand new electric as you work through Justin’s fantastic courses, Blues included, will see you having a whole world of fun you couldn’t have imagined.
Excellent lessons for you
When you’re ready, we’d love you to share your recordings with us here.

Hi Boris! I too look forward to the blues, it’s a long way off, but in my sights also one day. Enjoy that new guitar!

Welcome to the Community, Boris.
Not sure exactly where you are in terms of playing from your intro. It may be an idea to work through Justin’s Grade 1-3 lessons, to review your foundation before diving into the blues. That said, there is an intro to the blues in Grade 2, module 13.
