Imo this is your best lesson yet. Blues is what got me into guitar and this is the lesson that has got me playing in time and improvising in a style i love. I wish I could shake your hand, if it wasn't for you doing these lessons all for free there's no way I would have stuck with it. Cheers from Canada - you rock!!
All you new 🎸 playas 😎, confused on the web lookin 4 the best teacher??!!! Look 👀 no further than this man and His channel! Start at the beginning and proceed to be playing after your first lesson ! Justin is the most thorough, and easiest to learn from on ALL of TH-cam! Trust me! Boston 💪
Absolutely brilliant, in-fact just what I was looking for. Justin you genuinely are the best teacher on the net by some distance and I can only thank you.
Justin I am finding these invaluable, I skipped a lot of the fundamentals when I was a young psychedelic hippy guitarist, over the years I embraced theory and periodically come back to the roots, I am having a blues renaissance, but the greatest joy right now was going to our local priddy folk fayre here in Somerset west England and buying a tanglewood steel string for my youngest son who will be 18 tomorrow, at his behest might I add, I have turned him on to your channel, and this skater boy/photographer on his way to art school uni in London will have the company of this wonderful instrument and all the adventures that lay ahead, I can't thank you enough, cheers mate.
Great teaching Justin, if you haven't seen Justin and Chris Buck it's a must watch. Justin teaches, he is not here to impress people with his skills. As a 69 year young beginner I like that he bluntly says it's the 5th string or 3rd string. For those who give the string name G B e, it sends me to Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie and takes more time and makes me "fall off the groves" trying to find the string. If you know the string names great but you can also count the strings. Hats off Justin🎩
I know Ive seen Justin play this shuffles dozens of times in various videos; and I bet you can add a few thousand to that with the times he's played off camera. After all that I see the same enthusiasm and finesse in every strum. Just pure enjoyment in the moment! Probably my number 1 reason for wanting to learn guitar....just that true in the moment focus on something you love. 3 weeks in and "3 little birds" is slowly coming together. Thanks Justin!...will certainly be buying app subscription when finances allow. Really appreciate the free stuff. I better soak up before you realize that you're giving away gold plated info! 😉
Thank you Justin love what you do and how you do it. Always my first port of call when I'm looking to learn a new song or skill. I would urge anyone who uses Justin's lessons to support his honour system! I have gained so much over the years.
Dude didn't age a bit. Started learning from him. Back in the days it was buy a coffee ☕️ If I recall correctly. Bought probably one of his first books. Thanks for the lessons!

cheers J. Very professional lesson youre setup format appears new from some of your earlier videos. shows how long youve been at it....and the presentation is top drawer too. congrats and every success to you and your back up team. im lower intermediate and new to the blues having spread my wings from and on line jazz tutor. looking forward to exploring the genre. Thx again
Oh I just love you. I can already play 5 songs based on your online course and as soon manage to learn F (never gonna happen lol), there will be more. Thank you Justin.
Fantastic lesson and loads of fun to play through. I like the mixed major/minor in the intro and splashes of chromaticism in the 2nd 12 bars. It definitely gives me some ideas to play. Thank you!
Justin is the best ever. I signed up for the tabs on his website, hoping it will be more comprehensive soon. A teeny feedback mate, sorry to be intrusive, but the green screen can be a little further away if possible..the lighting is making the green colour reflect on you from the back.
Dear Justin you make a lot of good guitar vidoes but u r also a great singer. Could you please make videos on how to sing specific songs?(it could be a good video series) Just a fan request.
Great video, can't wait to learn the Blues.....just about to start stage 3 of the beginner course and lovin' it, good selection of songs to learn. Maybe some Maria McKee songs could be added to the catalogue (please) ? You're a fantastic teacher, even I'm already playing along to songs after 1 month, thank you. Take care. : )
I have been following your teachings and you are a great instructor. Is there anyway you can make a video on the strumming pattern for "Blessid Union of Souls- I wanna be there". ?? Thanks a lot
That background must be digital, it's weirding my eyes out. Are you green screening? Love the variations and the climbs, I'll work some of that out later. Cheers!
Hey, Justin I have been watching your TH-cam videos recently and it’s been great. I’ve been wanting to learn how to play guitar ever since This quarantine began and I finally got my first electric guitar a couple of days ago and I’m ready to learn. But I’m not really sure how I should start in terms of learning how to play. You think you can help me out? If you could great! Keep up the good work and the videos, always so inspiring to watch you play
If I may...I'm in your same boat, only about 3 weeks ahead. I just got a guitar out of the shop freshly set up at the end of October. I've used Justin's lessons every step of the way. I assume people learn in different ways so I wont push my routine, but maybe I can tell you some things I underestimated in hopes that you can expect as you experience them and know that it will get better 1. I underestimated the finger pain - Justin talks about this very often but I think experiencing it is different and I probably over practiced the first few days and pressed to hard. It got to the point where my mind was willing but the flesh on my finger tips was weak (About 7 days to go away, now I feel it but I can get through a practice session everyday without issue 2. The connection that is made with each note - for me I see it as a triangle between the strum, the fretted note and my brain. To play a clean note/chord all three of these points have to happen at the same time and if one is off (happens very often), my note suffers 3. The temptation to go above and beyond your limits - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the blues and its so tempting to branch out and start trying things I'm not ready for. Its easy to get discouraged that way, because you get quickly reminded how far the road is. I will say that I think learning the minor pentatonic scale position 1 is a good use of extra time when the first chords get boring. The scale makes you work on your finger interdependence which is certainly needed as you progress. Good luck as you continue and stick with it, use a metronome at the slowest speed when you're ready...... for everything. Above all, ENJOY!!
@@CP-hi5pn wow I did not expect this. Thank you so much. Yeah the finger pain came as soon as I started. I really need to work on my fingers interdependence since I haven’t played an intrument before enough to get my fingers to position the way it should. I’m going to keep trying it has been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Thank you so much for your input I’ll definitely use it.
@justin - you mentioned that the tab is available for download in Guitar Pro - where can I find that please? Thanks again for a super awesome lesson...I still sound poor but its poor with style...
Hi Justin! I see performers at venues reference a song sheet they made and brought. and when the audience asks for something off the set list they go to it. I have tried to create sheets to reference the chords and anything to help remember something i havent played for years but cant seem to find a clear way of entering data. What should we have on them?
I literally been searching every where for a it so i can cover that song and I couldn’t find one so if you can make a video on it i would really appreciate that
Any particular reason you play this on an acoustic rather than an electric? Does it become harder to play on an electric with distortion since u need better palm muting?

This lesson is GREAT for a Blues beginner, you can shuffle with tons of variations, great lesson, as always!
Most brilliant guitar teacher (Yoda). Thank you so much, Justin.
Thank you Justin love what you do and how you do it. Always my first port of call when I'm looking to learn a new song or skill. I would urge anyone who uses Justin's lessons to support his honour system! I have gained so much over the years.
Pleased with myself, I got it down, though achey tendons, been playing loads, gigs, recording etc, but these blues varieties are irresistible.
You will always be my go to for guitar lessons, thanks for all the lessons. I would love some more chords to noodle with.
Thanks for your support! :)
This looks like enough "finger-food" for a week or two. Very well presented, thank you Justin
Dude didn't age a bit. Started learning from him. Back in the days it was buy a coffee ☕️ If I recall correctly. Bought probably one of his first books.
Thanks for the lessons!
Another great lesson from one of the best teachers on You Tube

Best blue beginner lecture!
I was looking for inspiration to liven up my blues shuffles. Excellent stuff. I knew you’d have something to help.
Thanks for blues lesson on the acoustic! Glad to see the blanket made it to the new digs!
cheers J. Very professional lesson youre setup format appears new from some of your earlier videos. shows how long youve been at it....and the presentation is top drawer too. congrats and every success to you and your back up team.
im lower intermediate and new to the blues having spread my wings from and on line jazz tutor. looking forward to exploring the genre. Thx again
Awesome lesson. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Man this is off the chain!!!!! I can’t wait to learn it! Thanks!
Oh I just love you. I can already play 5 songs based on your online course and as soon manage to learn F (never gonna happen lol), there will be more. Thank you Justin.
Keep practicing the F. One day it will just suddenly click!
@@Adamturner2 Thank you, I will give it another go. :)
I needed this, currently recording a version of falsom prison blues and lownand behold a refresher lesson for this. Thankyou!
:) great fun to mix in with that song!
Thank you Justin, that's a super lesson!
Fantastic lesson and loads of fun to play through. I like the mixed major/minor in the intro and splashes of chromaticism in the 2nd 12 bars. It definitely gives me some ideas to play. Thank you!
Another absolutely brilliant lesson, Justin, thank you. This was just the "step up" I was looking for.
Cheers 😊

Great session, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man Justin, I just started learning a month ago and you make it so much fun, I really appreciate you, WAY different from “Simply Guitar”
Spot on, Justin ! Thank you so much ✌️
Justin excellent Lesson , you are really the ultimate guitar teacher! So smooth!
Love this one even more than the last, Thanks Justin
Yess another study, last one got me busy for a week! Love this format
More on the way too!
Awesome lesson, i love these new blues oriented lessons!
This one is gonna keep me busy for a while.
Not sure if you've done it somewhere already in your lessons but I'd love to see a lesson just on the Blues in A that you played near the end.
Great lesson, you explain it all so well 👍👏👏👏
wonderful lesson justin, thanks once again dude.
New to blues practicing here. I’m assuming the right hand should be rested or anchored? Small finger on body?
Awesome as always, thank you Justin!
ur welcome Phantom!
Justin you have done fantastic lesson. Would you do video mixing with chords and some licks. Thank you
Love the blues studies series. are there more coming? like blues standards?
Dear Justin you make a lot of good guitar vidoes but u r also a great singer.
Could you please make videos on how to sing specific songs?(it could be a good video series)
Just a fan request.
Man can you do more of this!!?
Great lesson!
Great video, can't wait to learn the Blues.....just about to start stage 3 of the beginner course and lovin' it, good selection of songs to learn. Maybe some Maria McKee songs could be added to the catalogue (please) ? You're a fantastic teacher, even I'm already playing along to songs after 1 month, thank you. Take care. : )

I have been following your teachings and you are a great instructor. Is there anyway you can make a video on the strumming pattern for "Blessid Union of Souls- I wanna be there". ?? Thanks a lot
I haven't seen it ill look. But when you sped up showing to practice changing it around. I heard Fast as you "Dwight Yoakum
Great lesson as always, but I miss seeing your studio in the background.. I'm glad to see the old blanket though...😀
Another great lesson,thanks Justin. A quick question...if I used this as a backing track would I use the Am or Em pentatonic?
Em would be the most logical choice :) | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant
Love it! Thanks mate!
Cheers! :)
That background must be digital, it's weirding my eyes out. Are you green screening?
Love the variations and the climbs, I'll work some of that out later. Cheers!

Justin in his green-screen sauna?!
Nice backdrop Justin 😂
The two that didn't like this were... what? Looking for Instagram influencers? :) Fantastic.
can you make a video tutorial on how to play the song scenery by ashmute pleaseeee
I literally been searching every where for a it so i can cover that song and I couldn’t find one so if you can make a video on it i would really appreciate that
👏👏👏
Any particular reason you play this on an acoustic rather than an electric? Does it become harder to play on an electric with distortion since u need better palm muting?
Electric and acoustic are both fine for this.
Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com
Crack 😎 !
:)
You in a sauna ? 😀
Kinda looks like blues clues
Love your lessons and your approach to teaching but thats a shit load of adverts which just breaks up and distracts the viewer.
Why on acoustic?? Why not electrify it and give it some dirt?? So much cooler!!
The guitar is plugged bro
Are you using a greenscreen because you're in that new office space? haha
No, he is teaching in his new sauna. Winter's coming ...
ANyway Justin remains the best teacher on the Tube.
Come on Justin I know you can play anything I know something I can't play RL Burnside black Maddie. Make that guitar dance
Please remove the green screen it looks weird
