James from DFW Texas

Hello everyone! Not sure if I’m doing this correctly, but wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I’m 52 years old and been “playing” guitar since I was at least 10 years old and I’m no better today than when I was when I was 10! :joy:

I just got tired of not being able to play full songs and really needed a structured way to learn how to play guitar. I purchased the Justin Guitar app and said I would give myself a year and see where I end up! I’m excited for the journey and taking it one day at a time.

Thanks!

You are in the right place. There are loads of people following Justin’s lessons who say they tried for years and could never play full songs and now they can. It’s a very well structured course with a great teacher. The community is fantastically supportive and helpful.

Best, Ian

Hello James

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.

We also host regular (virtual) JustinGuitar Community Open Mic events for community members.

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

Hello James & Welcome!
Hope you have lots of success here learning with Justin!
I also subscribe to Justin’s Lessons & Songs app, but do most of my learning through the website… it has more available to you than the app. That said, I love the app also! Mostly for the play-along aspect! It’s tons of fun!
Good luck with your guitar Journey!

Welcome! You’ve come to the right place! Everyone here is so friendly and helpful too! I’m finding the structure of things has worked very well after having tried to wing it for a while. This site and the app, truly a goldmine. Take care!
