A long time guitar(s) lover since I was 15 years old … Used to play in our band (rock & folk) initially covering Neil young songs (there are a lot … ) and then moving progressively to our own songs. As a rythm guitar player + some melodic / solo lines (not improvised …), I’ve always been impressed by improvisation skills of unknown guitarists playing as “on the fly” bands in blues / rock Jams / gigs …As our Rock & Folk band has just splitted (we stay big friends anyway :), I realized that it was maybe the good opportunity for me to climb “My Everest” = playing and jamming the blues anywhere with anyone in any blues bar in the world … So on stage and no more just watching it (which I enjoyed a lot by the way).
I know we’ve already met in the Blues Immersion area … so welcome out here in the full community too.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space. View by Categories.
We are a supportive and encouraging group of students and guitarists from across the world. Essentially, we are all here for music and to improve as players. We truly are a ‘community’. Members help and support one another and a friendly, positive attitude underpins this. We hope that all - young or old, experienced or new players - adopt and foster the pay-it-forward ethos that Justin personifies and embedded all those years ago when he started the website and forum.
Also, please make sure to read the Community Etiquette announcement for some important information and guidance.
If you want to record yourself to show your progress and / or seek feedback there is our ever popular Community Recordings section.
Behind the scenes there is a small and dedicated team who work to make the JustinGuitar experience as good as it can be. Check out the Onboarding sessions provided by Fanny. Justin also has a small group of Approved Teachers he recommends for people wanting 1-to-1 lessons to supplement his courses - of which I am privileged to be one.
That is plenty to be going on with. It is a vast community space so if you need help as you find your way around just ask.
Cheers. Richard

It’s good to see an Intermediate level player join & especially that you are going through Justin’s lessons from the first! Good for you! Hope to see you here in the Community often!
