New student at the ripe old age of 68 - hello from Anthony in Yorkshire

Hi Everybody, I am Anthony from Yorkshire and at 68 am just starting my guitar journey. I have watched various people on various platforms but Justin stands out from the rest. I look forward to learning with him and not giving up as many people do.

But don’t read everything, it’s better to learn 10 songs in that time :roll_eyes:

Hello Anthony,

Welcome to the Community mate.

Quality environment here, with a great ethos, and friendly people; and with plenty of old dinosaurs way past 68, that’ll make you look and feel young.:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
Stick close to Justin’s lessons, and reach our here anytime.

All the best.
Cheers, Shane

Hi Anthony, I have been learning how to play the guitar from Justin for at least 3 years and still learning at the age of 70. Have fun following Justin’s lessons and learning songs.

Welcome and there are I expect plenty of us on here in a similar age bracket. I have found that retirement has allowed me to devote a bit more time to guitar and there are so many resources available for self-directed learning. Enjoy!

Hello Anthony.
I’m just north of you in Teesside.
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
