Hi there, I'm Claudia - new to guitar & the blues

Hi Claudia, welcome to the community. With your musical background you already have a head start on many of skills needed to learn to play the guitar well - a good sense of rhythm, a good ear for melody and harmony and the understanding of the effort and patience needed to master any instrument, including the voice. I have never been a professional singer, if you don’t count singing for a few weddings and funerals. I did have two years of university voice training and a year of private voice coaching. I haven’t emphasized my singing as much on this site, but with your background I couldn’t resist directing you to a post I made in my log while following the singing lesson in module 19 - Steve’s singing tips
I will leave it to you to judge whether any of my tips have merit :slight_smile:

Also Justin has conservatory of music classical guitar training that he discusses in his lesson Flexing Time: Falling Leaf. So classical training shouldn’t be an impediment to learning the blues :grinning_face:
Have fun adapting your classical background to new areas of music like the blues.
