Hi Justin, do you get more into details in these courses? Need some help on rhythm
I remember when I had to look at the guitar to change chords. I remember when bar chords were hard to do. I also remember when I couldn't sing an play at the same time. But now all that's gone. Practice practice practice. You will get there!
Thank you Justin, I learned from you.
@Dana O To help with barre chords, I switched to the next lighter set of strings and got a good professional set-up on my guitar. It made a big difference for me.
@Dana O LIP
You're welcome - always great to have feedback like yours. :)
I can almost sing and play at the same time. Nice to hear that others have/had that challenge.
I also learned from Justin! I recommend him to everyone starting to play and look for his tutorials first.
Justin, I've been playing guitar for 54 years and I still learn from you. I don't think we are ever done learning as guitarists, or humans for that matter. Thanks for all your great content.
Very well stated!
Learning is life, thank you for your experience sir!
You're right! The day we stop learning should be the day we stop breathing 👍
Not me, I've completed guitar 😉🤣
Hands down the best person on internet for anyone at any stage of their guitar journey..tysm Justin!!
Him and Marty Schwarz. Love them!
Yep, I find myself going back and watching Justin's videos several times over. Sometimes months apart. I really should sign up for his courses!
Yeah he speaks to you like a good friend and I've never seen him cross. Very unique soul.
I used to have a strumming problem until I changed my pick.
He is excellent. Not condescending, very innately friendly and really shows you all the techniques and songs with no personal motive to show what he can do, Just a patient teacher who likes to teach people what he loves
Excellent teacher. Patient with humor and a comfort level that shines. Really appreciate what you do .🎸😎.
If it helps anyone, I started playing in lockdown 1 (June 2020), I do have a musical background (drummer), BUT I cannot recommend this man highly enough. In the short time I’ve been playing, his beginners course, videos and advice have been so remarkable and second to none. - He is a musical treasure ... even if you play, I guarantee you’ll learn something ... a truly naturally gifted teacher. Thanks Justin (off to practice my strumming!)
This is so helpful. I am learning late in life. I was grinding so hard on keeping the right rhythm, I wasn't feeling the right rhythm. My instructor tells me that I can make things my own if I only trust it and you have emphasized that. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge. You are keeping many people from quitting and you are helping them advance.
Thank you so much Justin! I had a guitar for several years and finally am learning it properly with your lessons! 💜
Just bought a Justin T-shirt. Dude, I owe you so much, I’m probably now closing in on ‘intermediate’ guitar skills and all thanks to you. Best guitar teacher on the interweb by far....
Thanks for supporting JustinGuitar - it's really appreciated! :)
How long did that take?
Yea how long did it take and how many hours did u practice
Just like every good coach knows, when efforts collide with results, you have to return to the basics. Well said Justin!
I played a little few chords back when I was in high school and now re leaning at 66. I’m excited and music is a huge part of my life. Thank you fire the lesson…. Very helpful!
Thank you Justin for the tip about consistent strumming, keeping the arm motion going even when not touching the strings. I've watched videos by other creators before, but that particular point was never so clearly noted. Your communication and teaching style are just as fluid as you urge your learners to be with their guitars.
This is best guitar lesson I’ve had in 40 years. Great advice I wish I’d had when I first tried to learn guitar. It would have saved me countless hours unlearning really bad habits. I really wanted to learn finger style because I can’t sing to save my life but I loved the sound of the guitar. However, now decades later I definitely realize my journey would have been far easier had I’d first learned to strum properly and develop the sense of rhythm.
I've learned alot in the 5 months I've been playing, I can play some pretty difficult riffs, even a couple solos but my strumming is terrible. Thanks for all the help man, great video. Subscribed
It's always good to see you talk about beginner stuff. I'm at lesson 3 in my journey and practice every now and then with nitsuj. He's really cool too.
Brand new to the guitar. I'm on practice lesson 2 for about a 5 weeks. It took me from the middle of August searching TH-cam to find you and your great lessons. I signed up right away.
I do struggle with the strum and pick sliding around but I try to spend at least 10 minutes each session just on strumming. I would be hard pressed to save I have improved much but I'm determined to keep at it. Your instructions and encouragement mean a lot. Thanks for that.
Did you stick with it?
Thank you a lot Justin! I've learnt the basics guitar skills and had mastered the first songs I began with, I'm eternally grateful to you
Many thanks Justin. Clear, concise and generous with your help.
So detailed and helpful. Ive been sort of stuck since i started playing a week ago and since i discovered his videos i have been excited again! Thank you Justin!
What a great teacher you are Justin. Keeps me involved and attentive. Thanks
Best guitar teacher in the world. Have learned a lot from the guy in his tutorial videos and it stays with you. Thanks Justin.
Justin 🖤 You're an absolutely amazing teacher. Even the most unskilled player would pick something up just from your beautifully positive energy. Thank you for doing what you do. I wish I could hear you sing and play full songs.
Wow, thank you! 😊

Great video Justin! This is my first time checking out your actual TH-cam channel. Subscribed! Figured I’d leave a comment that you probably get all the time.
I’ve gone through your old beginner course, all the intermediate modules and your music theory course. You have absolutely changed my life. A year and a bit ago I couldn’t play anything on guitar. Now I can improvise, have a quite a few Hendrix tunes under my belt and feel comfortable playing. Without you my progress would have taken ten times as long. I hope you realize what an absolutely massive impact you have on tons of people these days. Keep up the good work. Thanks! When times get better and I find work I’ll be sure to donate through the website!
Fantastic video and really pleased to see this new series. Thanks, Justin, for always going into such detail and highlighting all the different ways people can learn =D
Thank you so much for all your lessons Justin!
You are a really great teacher and you always motivate me to get better!
Interesting video on guitar strumming. Thank you.
Hey Justin, 60 year old self taught back in the 70's with Burt's original play in a day! Now your teaching me all over again, and my Telecaster sounds better than I ever made it sound.
I love it. I found the music mojo again.
Great to hear!
Cheers 😊

When you first start out you should learn song’s completely. The whole song. Then learn three or four all the way through. You want to be able to play something if you have a guitar in your hands if somebody asks for a song. Justin is good for this. He gives you songs that are like that and some quite tough. He’s a good teacher.
I think you're the only man in the world that can pull off that kind of hat. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for all the great info you give out!!!
Mr Justin's teaching is so concise and his voice is soothing too....
I am a finger style guitarist. I add bass lines and pick more than three or four strings at one time and place of strumming because sometimes too much strumming gets boring after a while. This is why I chose to be a finger style guitarist. That’s why it breaks the monotony of all of the strumming, although I do strum, but not quite as often as most guitar players do if you watch Chad Atkins, he hits a baseline and then hits three or four strings at the same time. This is what he does in the place of struming. I love being a solo instrumental guitarist. It’s not so boring. I’ve been playing like this since 1974. You’re are a good teacher better than most on TH-cam. Thanks for your videos I really like them have a beautiful day.😁👍🏼❤️🎸😎
You are awesome , you have categorised the classes..I will make my extra efforts by watching your videos.
Thankyou
So true about irregularities returning to the established flow so they serve as a break before returning you back to that flow.
As a novice so focused on the chords, I couldn't figure out how to fix my strumming which clearly sounded awkward and unpleasant. Thanks Justin ! The more tense and uptight I got, the worse it sounded. Now to relax and try this new approach.
Same here, only because I tend to aim for perfection, anxiously.
Thank you once again for giving so much useful content and your attendance through years of learning and all those lessons!
Justin, I just started a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving your course on your app. I bought a Fender Starcaster when my daughter was born 13 years ago, but found the enclosed DVD tutorial too difficult to follow or something. I just picked it back up with your app and I'm having so much fun learning. Thank you so much!!!!
Great to hear! Welcome aboard. See you around ;)
Only two minutes in and you've already changed my life ! Keeping that strumming hand moving ! I never approached it like that before . Definitely improved my sound .
I haven't enjoyed any guitar video on youtube as much as I Enjoyed watching this video ! Many thanks Justin.
Great instructor Justin. Your input really is helping me to become an excellent beginner guitar player.
Ur right
Analyzing the way we feel.
Great as always. Thanks Justin. Also THEE best cap you've ever used. Nice one.
This is definitely my issue. Thank you :) I'm going to practice your technique.
Hi Justin, I’m following your beginner course. It’s a really good pace for me also have your app with full access. I can strum, plays chords and so on, not perfect yet by any means. What I’m finding difficult is putting it all together, foot tap, strum with a pattern, change chord etc to the beat!
So happy I’ve found your lessons. Teaching is an art form and you have the magic touch ❤️
Wow, thank you! I love teaching and that's a compliment 💙
This is just what I needed. I was classically trained as a kid so I don’t have a problem with picking, but I’ve been really struggling with strumming. I’m going to try these tips. Thank you!
I think you're on to something here - because I too started on classical (when I was a kid) then picked it up again on and off in my teens onwards - I've always struggled with picks as well (so trying to retrain myself to use them now).
Same here i can do the picking but strumming has been such a hassle from day one.
Hey hey Justin , wanted to tell you Thank you for your talent and your time in putting these videos together. You have really taught me a lot and times when I was felt like giving up guitar you would make a comment about the struggles and encourage me to keep going . You’re the best ! Thanks Kc
Legend for teaching us all the little details so extensively! Petition for Justin to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame !!
Thanks Jutin was waiting for this
Enjoy!
Definitely the part of my playing that lags way behind the other skills. Thanks for addressing this again Justin 🙏
This helps a lot! Thank you!
great teaching technique. easy to follow.
Very clear! Thank you!
7:00 I was so used to down strums when I started guitar that up strums felt very odd. But now it makes sense to have rhythm going with strumming and trying to keep as consistent as possible
I got my acoustic for my 15th birthday this January, and Justin was the first person I turned to to learn. I'm still pretty horrible, but I love his lessons. Thanks Justin!
Such a good age to start Siddhant. Wishing you a lovely life of playing. I didn’t start to learn until I was 67. Still struggling but love it.
@@Suninitib Thank you Kathleen, same to you! No age is too late! Keep rocking 🤘🏽
Thanks mate. I’ll get started.
Thank you so much! Just seeing you enjoy strumming so much made me want to give it a second chance☺️
Awesome lesson and thank you for sharing your tips👍👍💚
Always great lessons, thank you so much
As usual Justin, your video is very nice and easy to follow. Thanks.
learned a lot thanks again
Thanks for your this nice motivation video
The best tips I've seen, thank you Justin!
Great job! As beginer i found it very helpful. Thank you very much.
Great Teacher
Great tips!
Oh, man. This so takes me back to my first few weeks of learning to strum. That Down Down Up Down Down Up Pattern so saved my ass. Then a few weeks after. I went to a music therapy group where they were all playing drums and percussion instruments. It's then that it really started to come together for me.
Great lesson with small nuances explained very well..
Tysm...Justin
With best wishes and regards....
Great stuff. Many thanks.
This is the first video of yours I've come across - and I love it - your teaching style is clear, relaxed, relatable and very, very useful. Fantastic. Subscribed. 👍👏👏👏
Same. First video and subbed after reading the positive comments.
Very useful lesson. Thanks.
lessons like this is why your the best! Thank You!
thank you so much Justin great video.
Much love and support so inspiring and kind thanks ❤️
Thank you for sharing 😎
thank u. I was told to strum straight down the strings but my hand wants to tilt to the side a bit so I am working on that. I still love fingerpicking that is my favorite for some reason. Great lesson thanks again.
Awesome lesson, A plus.
I’m having trouble tapping my foot and also making different strums louder. As soon as I try to strum louder on Beats 1 and 3, I lose my rhythm. I think I need to go back to some of the earlier lessons and work through the course again. Thanks for all the wonderful lessons.
This is the best teacher ever! Thank you Justin!
Thank you for this lesson
Always appreciated the attention to strumming on your song tutorials - hardly anybody does, and you’re the best for that, and it’s so clutch! Are you a drummer too?
👏👏👏 Awesome video, thanks Justin. Really useful. 🤙🤙🤙
Happy to help :)
Thanks for the tips
I'm learning so much from you this year! Thanks Justin 😎🎸
Glad to hear it! :) Rooock on!
