I'm not experienced enough to tell which of the tutorials have the most accurate chords, but yours for sure sounds the best, and most natural. Thank you and keep up the passion.

Fantastic lessons as always Justin. In my opinion you're the best guitar teacher on YouTube. Thank you for sharing everything with us.
Take care of yourself and your family and stay safe and healthy.

Thanks Justin. I don’t know where I’d be without you with the progression in my guitar playing.
We all appreciate your hard work in bringing these lessons to us.

I've been following you for about 10 years, enjoying every minute of it, looking at how your lessons evolve, how you evolve. I hardly ever made comments on youtube. But today I do have to make a comment. This lecture takes us to another level. The song itself, how you present it, your explanations, how your video is edited, your studio, the lighting, even the dog. Everything is just perfect!!! Congtratulations and thanks forever for making all those lessons and making them better and better

I've been watching you for so long. I've bought some of your stuff. You truly are just an awesome person for sharing, caring, and just being you.
Thank you!!!

Outstanding Justin. I have played a heavily simplified version of this song for many years. This is inspiration to clean that up. The rhythm piece is super important. The D minor is lovely.

This is the first time in my life that I've been able to follow a guitar tutorial with 0 doubts and complications at the end. This guy does not complicate things, goes straight to the point and is very efficient with time. I am looking forward for more videos! Kudos to you!

This is a song I return to over and over. Amazing lyrics and I have said before awesome professional cover.just hearing this let alone a lesson.

been watching your Neil Young stuff and decided to stray away from the great Neil to learn some REM. your videos really pushed me to develop my picking and strumming together. I've become a much better guitarist because of you, Justin. Thank you so much. I was a beginner for years and I'm slowly starting to get better.

When I bought my mandolin, this was the first song I learned. That mandolin riff sets the whole mood. It’s awesome.

[johnroyce]

Wow! This is only yesterday I decided to learn this song to put in my solo set after it came up on my Spotify playlist. Thanks Justin, perfect timing.

[andreaberardi]

Your voice is fantastic, i really like your covers

My very first guitar teacher in Chiswick, London. Thanks for getting me started on my amazing musical journey, Justin!

[domclarke]

First with all my life and now with losing my religion. The most accurate lessons on YT, good job sir 👏.

[gtsipejr]

Justin, just an awesome lesson. I've heard you sing many times, and you really nailed it on this one! Thanks, GT

[CARLOSVSCARLOS]

Dude, you’re the best guy out here to see when you want to learn a song in no time flat. Seriously great stuff, man.

[GraemeConway]

I really like the way you sing the cord changes, I find this really helps me to learn the sound of the chords and playing the right chord becomes almost instinctive. Just one of the great methods of teaching you use. Keep up the good work Justin. 🎸🤟

[eamonno]

One of the greatest songs of the 90s, thank you!

[RaffLagatta]

Omg I love that Ziggy joined in on the fun and you didn't chop him out of the video! So cute! We need more of his interruptions. 😂

[russellnewton]

I can play this in a basic way, but this is another level. Sounds great.
