My name is James, I’m from Ontario Canada. I’m a vocalist aspiring to become a guitarist and learn more music theory.
I’ve been using Justin’s course for about 6 weeks now. I’m completely hooked! I use the app and love the way it’s laid out.
Currently I’m in the final module of beginner grade 1. I’m fortunate that I did take lessons as a kid around age 13. I learned the basic chords but never did get any good at strumming and playing songs. (Typical undisciplined kid and I didn’t practice much…) Eventually I gave it up and had a bit more natural knack for singing. From that point on I just figured my voice was my instrument and left it at that.
Well recently My wife and I inherited some guitars and I started messing around with one and watching YouTube tutorials etc. Pretty soon that led me to Justins guitar app and website and now I’m hooked!
Currently I’m using the app and working through Justins music theory course. I try to put in an hour per day of practice and learning. So days it’s less some days it’s more but I figure daily practice of any kind will lead to some improvement.
I look forward to chatting with you all and exploring the world of guitar!
You’re in the right place to learn! Guitar is a very challenging instrument at times but also so rewarding!
This Community is a great resource for any time you feel stuck in a rut or have questions about just about anything to do with guitar!
Good luck on the Journey!!!

Hi James, welcome loads of friendly people to help and advise on here if you need it.
Best advise I can give is video yourself and if brave enough publish it on here and get critic and support to help you improve or just look at your own issues and try and fix. It takes time but will all come together with regular practice.
Hello James and welcome among us! You’re in the right place for chatting about and explore the world of guitars! I’m sure that you’ll find the Community both a fun and a helpful place to be along your journey.
Hi James, welcome to the community forum. As a vocalist, I have found that the guitar is very convenient for accompanying yourself when other instruments (like piano) are not available and for playing and singing with small groups. Have fun learning to play and sing along with your playing when your guitar playing becomes more confident.
