Hey everyone,
It is nice to see such a vibrant community here. A huge thanks to Justin for the course and the platform. Never thought I could actually play an instrument but thanks to him I can play a bit now.
Being an introvert took some time to get on the forum to speak about myself but nonetheless here it goes.

What inspired you to start playing guitar?
Always wanted to learn a musical instrument and guitar made the most sense to me. Multiple variations of lockdown and working from home gave the perfect opportunity and time and I took the bait by July '20.
Do you play in a band or have you been playing in a band?
Not yet
Why do you play guitar?
It feels nice to re-create the music that I love and is a way to connect to that music. Probably someday I can play well enough to play it for someone.
What are your goals for the future?
1. Probably get over the fear of performing in front of people and perform at some open mic or few unknown people or even record and upload
2. Attempt to sing with playing
3. Some lead solo-ing
