        I’m a mid 40’s advanced beginner who is 4 years into the journey of learning guitar. I have 2 kids under the age of 3, so the time I have to practice & play is limited. Thankfully I was able to get far enough along as a self-taught player in the first year to know what I need to do to make the most out of 20 minutes. Finding this site is the gem I’ve been looking for to help me get to intermediate player. Thanks Brian & cheers everyone!!!

          Welcome, David. Sounds like the perfect place for you. I think Brian is the teacher many of us spent a long time looking for.
          By the way, I’m in Mississauga. In your neck of the woods, in terms of this forum, but not all that close by.

            @charjo cool. Looking forward to exploring more of the content. Already found videos that show step by step on how to add fills into Blues Rhythm, detailed along with jam tracks. So awesome. BTW, I am a former Mississauga resident from many moons ago.

                Welcome aboard David. The site is a gem. I would recommend participating in the Monthly Challenges (regardless of performance ability) and utilize the Forum for friendly banter. You might find yourself making friends and or remote recording with other guitar enthusiasts from around the world. Good luck.
