Self introduction - hello, I'm Blue

Community Hub Introduce yourself ...

Hello everyone.
Just want to intodruce myself. I am Blue, in my mid 70s and not really a newby on my guitar. I know Justine since several years, own some of his books, a lot of his YT videos and love his style of teaching. He really knows how to put his stuff in a nutshell.
After several circumstances I lost my possibilities to practice as I should. The result is I lost lots of my skills and dexterity. So I decided to try a complete newstart from scratch. I know thats the best way to keep myself away from bad habits. Looks like a hard way but with Justin it‘s gonna be the fun way.
My gear:
Guitars
GIBSON LP STANDARD 2015 WCR
EPIPHONE LP STANDARD PLUS VSB
GRETSCH G5622T-CB ELECTROMATIC
SQUIER JV FENDER STRATOCASTER
YAMAHA A3R DREADNOUGHT

AMPS

BOSS KATANA 100 HEAD MKII
ELECTRO HARMONIX 15 W HOWITZER IN COMBINATION WITH BOSS GX-100

Hi Bernd,
Greetings from Poland! :slight_smile:
So nice to meet you here. I’m 71 and enjoy playing guitar like I have never before, perhaps because I now have lots of time to fully immerse in my passion. I believe you’ve found a great website here with a friendly and helpful community, should you need any assistance.
Great photo there! Oh, and your gear is admirable, to say the least.
Regards
Tomasz

Hi Bernd, welcome to the community forum. That is a nice collection of guitars to practice and play on. Starting again is a good plan. You will refresh your memory and even learn a few new things from the beginning lessons. Have fun as you get you guitar skills back.

Welcome Bernd

Starting again from the beginning after a long break is definitely the way to go.
I think you’ll find most things will come back surprisingly quickly.

All the best
Mick
