I just have to say that your new lessons are absolutely fenomenal. I recently found myself stuck in my playing, doing the same boring stuff over and over. Just as I was about to take a break from the guitar these videos came out and inspired me to keep pushing. With that said, thank you so much for your time and effort 🙏

[Blueridge]

Thanks again to the by far best and most inspiring guitar teacher on the internet. With your help really everybody can learn to play guitar to enjoy music with singing and playing actively. And the basics (and these are the really important things if you are going to learn an instrument...) are for free!!! Thank you so much for everything, and keep up your really great work.

I love the instructions. Mostly the part about not caring about the theory so much. I've been playing for 50 years and sometimes I still go back to the earliest songs I ever wrote. It was back in the day when I knew zilch about theory and would just make chord deviations and hear how they sounded. I've since gone back to figure out what I was doing and I will be mystified as to how I knew to to that. Now I realize, it doesn't matter! If you pick it and it sounds the way you want it to, go for it! I've had very limited instruction but honestly, one of the worst tips I ever got was, "Always know EXACTLY what you're doing and why." This came from a guy who was an amazing jazz player. Looking back, I think that stifled my creativity. My more interesting songs were the ones where I had no idea! I'm going to watch more of your videos and also get my daughter to try some!

Just wanted to say a big thank you Justin, I've been messing around with guitars for far too many years and getting nowhere, but having recently found you on utube your infectious style of playing has made me focus, I will be watching ech video and not moving on til I have mastered the content.

[TimBergsten]

I'm not going to think to much about the technical stuff, and these videos are solid gold! Thanks so much.

There's so much to learn and these are things that can be absorbed while we're still at a very basic level.. there's no need to wait until you become much better to incorporate these little tricks into your playing arsenal!! Tks for sharing all this knowledge!! You're great, Justin!

Thanks Justin, just restarted my guitar journey again at 63 thanks to you.
Cannot recommend your lessons highly enough, coupled with your App brilliant stuff 👍

[gabrielskater]

So many new looks and ideas in one video, thanks Justin!

[wesbresee]

Really glad I came across you and your video instruction. Opens things up for me and I've been wanting to expand my style. The way that you instruct and explain techniques leaves all kinds of things for me to experiment with so that I can find my own way, rather than someone saying "Do this, that way's wrong" you demonstrate and then leave it to the watcher/listener to make their own decisions. And every video of yours that I watch i learn something. Perhaps a chord progression or something theoretical that I never thought of before. Kind of helps me to look at guitar from different angles and perspectives..
Thanks so much, this stuff is GREAT!!

[calindosa]

Sir Justin Helpalot! Thank you, man! REALLY quick progress with yout teaching!

[larsdanielsen]

Love your app and how you have continued to develop it. Being somewhere between beginner and intermediate (picked up the guitar again after 20 years) there are some really good stuff there and it gives me sort of a lesson plan. Been a great thing to use to forget covid for a bit every day. Keep up the good work!

[shreeramdeshpande]
