Hi. I've been a member for a couple of months now, and started playing without lessons a couple of months before that.

I've achieved a target I set for myself to hit in 2020 - I played in public for the first time this week! It was just a small open mic/jam night at a local pub. I don't really sing (and certainly can't sing while concentrating on playing guitar yet) so I got involved with some other musicians, playing some blues.

The host looked after me well, and I had a really nice time.

This was also the first time I had played guitar with another person (unless you count the playalong tracks on these tutorials)

Thanks especially to Anders for the beginner blues course.
