I'm an intermediate guitarist, also known as Swannie. I'm all about emotional, storytelling-song driven music with a slightly offbeat, raw feel. I also write and release my own music - my song "From Country to Country" is on YouTube if you'd like to check it out. Exited to be here, learn, and connect with you all!!

Hi everyone! I’ve been playing guitar for quite a long time, writing and performing my own songs, but I still haven’t learned music theory yet :) Recently, I started exploring the open D tuning.Glad to be part of the community. Wishing everyone success!

My name is Reo and I’m based in London, though I travel back and forth between Japan and the UK a lot for work. I only started playing three weeks ago (so very absolute beginner here), just strumming and learning basic chords off YouTube. I want to be a singer-songwriter, so what I want to get out of this community is the ability to improvise freely from existing chord patterns/songs, rather than just playing them exactly as written. So i'm very keen to learn necessary music theory, get inspiration from the creative folks here, and perhaps take monthly 1-1 lessons with Jaco to get to know the instrument and music more deeply. My favourite artists include Paramore, Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, Avril Lavigne, Moby, and The Cranberries (to name just a few!). Paramore, Laura Marling, Avril Lavigne definitely have a special place in my heart as I grew up with their music - they’ve been there for every stage of my life. This community and all the materials here look really really cool, so very excited to be here! Cheers

have you heard this before?

What’s up everyone, just introducing myself. I’m Ryan, I’ve been a pianist for most of my life, but always been curious about the guitar. About a year ago, a few friends started getting together every month to play folk music, and that inspired me to finally pick up the guitar so I could join. Some of my favorite artists are City and Color, Sleeping at Last, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Hope to have something to post soon :)
