Man your vocal game is rising off the charts since I started following you 8 years ago or so..

Great lesson sir! You have always been my idol. Lots of love to you from the bottom of my heart....I started learning guitar from you when I was 17, now I am 31. Now I run my own music institute. You are amazing sir. Love you sir.

Justin: Don’t go ‘Out of Time’.
Me: But that’s one of R.E.M’s best albums!

I tried the riff first, just to see if I could do it! Turns out I can!! Tks so much!!

[dimitrifyodorovickaramazov]

Learned it in 25 minutes. You are a wonderful teacher

[Chuck-U-Farlie]

thanks for doing an REM song as i think the world needs more REM these days.
I think a great one to do would be 'Cuyahoga" as it's super fun to play and showcases a bit of a less strummy guitar part than Peter Buck is known for. Also a great message.

[scotthunter]

That strumming and picking looks like magic.

Justin, a couple of adjustments.. (love your teaching btw).. play the Dsus2 throughout the whole song.. I hear that open high E ringing through the whole song, no G on the high string when you go to the D. Also, when it goes to a G "A simple prop..." lift the G note on the high e string up and down, then next chord (D) play it like a Dsus4 but again lift the top string up and down from 3rd fret to open (like the previous chord), then leave that G note on the light E string when playing the next chord (C) and this time lift the index finger up and down on the B string (C note then open). It's what I've always heard and used to play in a band... I think it sounds really cool (and what I THINK) they sound like they are playing.
Love your lessons though, great tunes and keep them coming! Thanks for everything you do here!

So imagine this, a guy from Tasmania gives me the best lesson I've seen on an REM song. REM, a band that's from near where I grew up. Small world when it comes to great music. Great lesson man, thanks!

[ViraDrama]

Thanks, your singing also really good.🎵🎶🎼

[Loco_Pizza]

Absolute genius, brother! I was in the middle of the video and I thought "man, this guy is freaking great at teaching", you do it in a very organic way. Just great.
Thanks for it, brother.
Greetings from the faraway land of Chile!

[FPInvention]

well done for pointing out that while playing guitar you don't stop if you make a mistake! Always telling people to carry on and not stop

[klausfritsch]

Hey, thank you so very much. I need to play this song in 12 days electric guitar only with two singers, and this video helped me immeasurably in developing my version for that. Not much to do with your acoustic version, but without you, I would have been up a certain creek with only my Les Paul for a paddle.

[christopherpsaros]

I just found this song a few weeks ago and love it, now you made a lesson on it. Thank you, I can’t wait to give it a try!

[Leandruzo]

Nice lesson!
Some day teach us "Social Distortion - Ball and Chain", Justin.
It is a wonderful tune for begginers. (I - V - IV progression with simple rhythm, and a cool middle song solo).

[sid]

A beautiful song and another great lesson. I agree that Michael Stipe is a great artist and a fantastic songwriter. I would love to see a leason on his song No Time For Love Like Now, a guitar version. Such a great song.

[jamesmurray]

Wow your singing as got so much better man.

[phillip]

The singing lesson are paying dividends my friend. You now sing as good as you play. Terrific version.

[skibum]

Another super lesson on a great song. Thank you for everything you do. Hope you and family have gotten back to health.
