I've been "playing" guitar for 35 years but thanks to your lessons now I can play guitar!

I could read ten articles on this topic and I'm left scratching my head. I watch your single video and I now finally get it. Well done!

Thank you Justin. Simple explanation with great examples.

One day, Justin Sandercoe will be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, for his influence on future Hall of Famers. Incredible lessons.

Came to refresh my memory with this one. I started to play guitar ~10 years ago with Justin's beginner course. Really enjoyed it even though my taste in music is different than some of the stuff. Such a great teacher.

Your lessons are a treasure trove! Thanks for your dedication!

You make it look so simple that it becomes a motivation to attempt complicated ones played in this style.
I am basically a singer who uses the guitar to back up the voice. I wish I had your videos in my youth.
Never too late.

Thanks again Master Justin. It's clear as crystal & took me just once to understand this😃

Very well explained. I now understand the way 1, 4, 5 works and where the term comes from.

Thank you very much Justin for your YouTube videos on the 12 bar blues ! This will help me play my favourite 50’s and 60’s and 70’s 12 bar blues songs on my guitar ! :) eventually I want to learn how to do solos over 12 bar blues chord progression too

I've been "playing" guitar for 35 years as well, . I have always found it easier playing by ear then trying to memorize bars and chords. To me these instructions seem like rocket science.
