Hi Paul @Simbadsdad
Retirement is a great time to start … lots of time, or whatever reason you are at home and can still use your hands reasonably 
… I wish you a lot of fun and a long time learning guitar

Hello Paul @Simbadsdad !
Lots of good times to be had here in JustinLand!!!
Hello Nethan @netahnpaul86 !
Wishing you loads of fun ahead!!!
This whole guitar Journey thing feels like we’re chasing our tails at times… going like crazy & then collapsing in front of the fireplace with our tongues hanging out!!! 
But, if you’re having fun along the way, who cares!!!

Hi Steve, Kudos to you for starting back in to guitar at 67. One is never too old! It seems this forum is a resource I could have made much better use of, before and even recently. I’m curious about the community recordings. Is there a place on this site where participants can upload recordings? If so, I haven’t found it. Will keep looking…

Hi Tod, I’m from Santa Rosa, California. Yeah, I only wish I’d taken the Artist’s Way group sooner, but it made me realize there was a reason I didn’t want to get rid of my guitar. I’m grateful to have found Justin’s guitar site and community. Thank you, and good luck to you as well!

Hi Heather, I had to have it explained to me. You can’t directly upload video or audio recording to the JG site, but you can create an account in YouTube or SoundCloud and upload your video or audio to those accounts and then paste the URL link for your uploaded video or audio into the website post for your recording.
Here is additional info from a similar question in the community:

i’ve been at his from scratch for about 4 weeks - 15 to 30 mins a day - Ive been trying to get to 30 chord chages in a minute on the practice roiutine (A to D) for about a week now - the more i rush the more I fail - upto about 25 but progress seems slow to me - whats others experience like of module 1 and acheiving the targets?

Hi Paul, I have that same experience with many things. If you’re at 25 changes (you’re counting A - D - A - D as “0 - 1 - 2 - 3”, correct?), You might consider setting this one aside for a week and moving on, but returning it to your practice after a week or so. Many people find they start making progress again after a break. Keep us posted!

I looked back at my learning logand it looks like it took me a couple months to get decent chord changes in the beginning. Try not to rush a lot, just a bit at a time, (does that make sense? lol). It will happen.
And welcome, if I didn’t say it before.

@LunaRocket thanks for the reply - comforting to hear - think I was trying to get others experience in terms of how much time it took them to get through the modules/stages - your feedback is very helpful

Ok, I’ll play. 57, been on and off playing for years but it feels more serious this time around. I’ve been taking lessons here for a few years, but never really visited the forum before. So here I am. Scott, originally from the UK, now living and working in Romania.

Hi Scott, and welcome! For me, the structure of Justin’s lessons makes my learning feel more “serious”. I guess it’s because there’s an internal logic to the way Justin presents skills and ideas. Consulting this community has taught me a lot. I think you’ll find that pinions presented here — even when they differ — generally well-considered.

Hello Scott & Welcome!!!
I hope you have lots of fun learning! I’m curious, what are your guitar goals & what kind of music do you love to play? Electric or Acoustic… or both? Also, gear pics are always welcome here!

Hi Scott, welcome to the community. I’m 69 and enjoy Justin’s lessons. I have found that reading the discussions in the community for each of the lessons helped me to learn some things from the lessons that I had overlooked. I also have learned more about planning my practice from looking at some of the learning logs in the community. I have also found posting an occasional video of my playing to the community recordings helps keep me honest as to my progress. I wish you lots of fun as you learn and make progress with playing the guitar.
