Hi! I’ve posted on some other threads but never introduced myself. How rude of me.
I’m from Scotland, and played guitar as a student (used to regularly play at open mic slots as a duo in Glasgow). I was never too good and only knew a few chord shapes, but luckily I had a more talented partner to do the heavy lifting!
Life came along, the electric guitar and amp were sold to fund my studies, then the acoustic stayed in its case for too long. Now at aged 50, the acoustic is back out, I’ve bought a Epiphone LP and a Katana 50, and I’m trying to learn to play properly (rather than just know a few shapes). I’m currently on Level 3 of Justin’s course.
Hello Colin.
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
