The new JustinGuitar Community, how does that work?

You could amend it to something similar I guess. If you type @ it brings up a list of users. Closest I can see to your Sandrat (do love that!) is @sandramort ? So not sure why you can’t use it. Time to call for assistance.

@Richard_close2u or @LievenDV can you guys shed any light on why Sandra cannot use her Sandrat moniker anymore ?

Thanks, yes it’s nice! It’s a Freshman Apollo 40C, all solid woods - Sitka spruce top with Mahogany back sides and neck with a rosewood fingerboard, abalone decoration and maple/mahogany binding.
It’s not that easy to play with the 25.5 scale length but you get used to it! I don’t want the action low enough to spoil the tone.

I think I will change to SandyMusic, my obscure YouTube channel.

Just changed to new username: SandyMusic

@RuthSan I think you may have to log off here and back on again for it to take effect, :sunglasses:

We might need a forum listing for old an new names to keep track of who is who!

A new community full of the same old people, but everyone is incognito.

Its only a temporary change for me as I was just demonstrating to Sandra it could be done. But heck do I need to ?? Maybe.

Cheers

Testing to see what my username is :wink:

Is there something I download to access the community directly similar to the old forum app?

Actually, Toby, I thought it was rather cool, to go with the Easy Rider avatar.

And a quick click on a poster’s avatar displays their name unless they choose to run incognito, so not too tricky to put two and two together.

If you open browser on your mobile and use it for a while your browser should ask if you want to install an app.

It was Denis Hoffman now it’s Peter Fonda

You might be right. Did that just now.

Et voilà! OK I see, I need to type minimum 20 words.

@stitch I think @DavidP actually referring to the change of moniker and not the picture but hey I could leave Captain America up for a years or so and the maybe go George Hanson.

Shoot and I’m gonna leave The Madman up ! Yawl know its me !

Hey and I just found you can enlarge the Topic and Preview panel by accident, when I dragged the picture over. That will be handy for David’s long posts !

Hey ! Lets have our first poll and I’ll set what the result is on Monday, December 20, 2021 7:00 AM

  • Stay as The Madman
  • Go back to tobyjenner

I haven’t really figured out how to get involved with the forum yet, but I’ve been learning from Justin for two years now. Giving my first performance tomorrow for people besides friends and family. I’m playing Pride and Joy a shortened modified version where I’ve created my own solo adapted from Stevie’s. Excited and hope it goes well

Welcome aboard, David.
Hey, ask someone in the audience to record some of your performance on a mobile phone and then upload it in the music section :smiley:

Best of luck with your performance tomorrow. Have fun. I’m sure it’ll go well.

Re getting involved in the forum. Just start posting stuff - questions, AVOYPS, tips, anything really etc.
In recent months I’ve become a lot more active in the forum, and its helped me enormously. Helping others out in small ways too is a great feeling, even at my relatively early stage. I think we all have something to contribute here.

The other great benefit is there’s some crazy, left-field, highly entertaining, fun loving, helpful, and of course very knowledgeable and experienced folk on here. Where else would you want to be? :crazy_face:

Hi David and Welcome

I would agree with Brian, try and get the performance recorded and post it here

But general involvement ? If you need answers about anything or specific lessons just asks. You’ll see most of the Categories are self explanatory where they related to courses or Grades. If you post in the wrong place, the mods @LievenDV or @Richard_close2u will move it to the right section.

Keep an eye on what’s being posted, if you can provide answers to someone question, feel free to do so. You been doing Justin’s courses so can provide consistent advice to others here based on your experience.

If you see a topic and have something to say or share, just jump in and reply. Or create a new one to share your own experiences. Start a Roadcase to share and keep track of your journey.

Do all that and you will soon be fully involved. Every one is here to help and be supportive, so just speak up whenever you want. Its a simple as that.

Just jump in and don’t be shy.

Best of luck with the gig, let us know how it goes.

Cheers

Toby

Hi all, missed the news somehow. Was looking for comment underneath the lessons and it brought me here. Will look into it to start a new road case soon. Nice to have a new environment!
