Sounds beautiful Justin ! I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and great lessons you've done over the years, you'll go down in history as one of the greatest guitar teachers of all time ! I started out watching your videos a few years ago and then I bought your beginner book and it helped me tremendously and then moved on to your intermediate book and have used your website more recently too (your overhaul of the site is impressive, well done) Subscribed to your music theory courses on the webpage too and loving it. Anytime anyone asks me how or where I learned to play guitar I instantly tell them about you and recommend your books (bought the beginner for my sister, uncle and a few friends for christmas over the years) Anyways keep up the great work , your a legend Justin. Cheers from Canada eh ! :) THANK YOU THANK YOU
Really elementary for me as far as chords, but I'm very much a beginner at finger picking. So this was excellent for giving me something to practice with my right hand without worrying about the left. Thanks, Justin.
Awesome, thanks for posting this! I play this often but mainly just strumming. Have struggled with the finger picking pattern and had never quite figured it out. This will be a big help. Now, practice time!
What a fantastic lesson. Such detail for just 3 chords but you structure it so well that a beginner and improver won't feel overwhelmed. And I love the song. I remember my mother would play it on her hifi in the kitchen when I was a child
Great playing Justin! Can you recommend a course to learn to sing? I think my vocal range is similar to yours but I'm impressed how you can play and sing at the same time.
Thank you! I'll look into it. BTW, just become a monthly donator as an appreciation for all the great things you do. The work you do makes the world a better place.
I think this is a great tutorial ‼️ especially to practice finger picking style. Thanks!!! Happy Holidays!! Oh yes, and simple beginner Christmas songs would be great!!! 🎄
Hallo Justin, I come from Czech Republik and see your videos to learn from you, you are very gut teacher und kind excellent work from you Thank you very much. Vladimir K.
Dear Justin mate, thank you for the best TH-cam lessons. I used to get into your lessons in the early 2010's and it helped me a lot... then, I've crossed the worst years of my life and somewhere down the line, one gf smashed my guitar against the wall, and I haven't played in 6 years ... I just found you here, while looking for this JD gem... Mate, we don't know each others and you seem like you're going thru Hell, lol... rekindle the spirit...
thanks Justin! really enjoyed this. I was wondering if it is ok to replace the D with a D7. I'm a beginner and I find it easier to come out of the C and go to the D7 instead of the D. Does that make any sense?
Really enjoying this content and loving the guitar lessons on your website. Also to note, your App for the IPhone and Android is a must for anyone learning. I love the play throughs and have to say it really does help. Very well put together and easy to use. Highly recommended to anyone just starting to learn. 😊😊😊
Another great song, that for years I thought was by John Denver is "Maybe" by Thom Pace. This was the theme song to the 70's show Grizzly Adams. It is a beautiful song to play and sing, and suitable for beginners I think.
Justin, great video again! Been following you for a long time already, and it nice to see for myself that I am able to learn this within 30 minutes or so after following your beginner course. So, thank you for that! I would also like to see some more advanced John Denver stuff, like ‘This Old Guitar’ maybe? Also a beautiful fingerpicking song :)
Can you do a lesson on "Annies Song" please Justin. Is the finger pattern that you use in the lesson a "Travis" picking pattern?. Great lesson! thank you for posting. - James
Hi Paul. It really will be personal preference based on the sound quality, the timbre, the volume and dynamics you want to play with. Cheers :) | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & JG Forum Mod [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]
Hey Justin could you please teach separately the iconic intro to leaving on a jet plane by John Denver from the greatest hits album because most people do not cover that call, or teach it incorrectly!
Hi! Great tutorial, thank you. I understand English just a little and you speak very fast, so I don't understand a word :D But your way to explain, in some way, is clear even without words (I see the chords you use and the fingerstyle pattern and even listening you to play is useful. And I understandwhen you sing the names of the chords ). So, this video helps me a lot... even if I loose all the spoken part (I'm sad for this: I'd learn much more if I can understand it)
When you are strumming through the chords and doing the G chord, C chord thingy your singing voice sounds like James Blunt. Good job Justin. Merry Christmas from Australia.👍🏻🙏❤
@@michael.trotter Yes please what is the tab although I don’t really care for tabs much I’m not that patient. Would’ve been nice if you had taught that iconic intro
Yes, the thumb is moving between two different bass notes and playing on all of the 1, 2, 3, 4 beats. www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/basic-travis-picking-fo-108 Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher
I daren't listen to this one, but you have helped me so much in the past Justin, but listen my friend, try a different style of hat, if you have to always wear one (which you don't), but ask a female friend for tips for a new bonnet, of just frisbee it off camera and have the conviction your playing has.
I must say you can really finger pick a guitar beautifully but as for me I can’t sing and I don’t even try to sing I’m a solo instrumental guitarist at least you try but I learn how to play instrumentally and not sing because I don’t have a good voice at all not that I’m saying you have a bad one but you’re a for sure no mama Cass Elliot that’s for damn sure 😀🎸🎸👍
That pattern never plays the thinnest string on G and C, but the whole pattern moves down one string on D. So you don't play the 6th string G note in the G chord (you still get G notes from the 1st and 4th strings), but you do get the 6th string F# in the D chord. The pattern ends up being, I think, G, G, D, B notes on the G chord and D, D, A, F# notes on the D chord.
I'm glad to see the sing along at the beginning of the lesson has returned. Was always my favourite part of your channel. 😊
Combination of fingerstyle, John Denver song and Justin is something I just cannot resist. Thank you!
Always love your lessons. Thanks for sharing and helping me learn new songs.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you Justin......you're a Great Teacher! God bless you! ❤

U welcome, Mike! Good luck with the finger picking. :)
I didn't even know I wanted to learn this until now! Thanks Justin!
Enjoy! :)
Lovely song well done. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for listening! :)
Fantastic Master
Took me about two months to almost master this song as a beginner but my ohh my, it's an absolute blast and totally worth it!
A huge respect for you!!! Doing huge no of great lessons from last 13 years !!!
I have been following your TH-cam channel and ur website for a long time now.....you are the best guitar teacher I have ever seen.
Oh, :) Thank you! Happy Holidays!
There is a clip on YT of JD performing ‘Jet Plane’ with “Mama” Cass Elliot, that is sublime.
Awesome, thanks for posting this! I play this often but mainly just strumming. Have struggled with the finger picking pattern and had never quite figured it out. This will be a big help. Now, practice time!
You're very welcome! Good luck with the finger picking, I'm sure you can do it. :)
great lesson! Would love to see more fingerstyle lessons in future!
Bloody hell. The best guitar teacher is developing and improving his trade. It speaks volumes. Bravo Justin.
Love your videos, love your lessons, love everything you do for guitarists worldwide. Thank you!!
Thanks!

so very well said
Thank you so much. I love the tutorial style you have used here.❤
Great playing Justin! Can you recommend a course to learn to sing? I think my vocal range is similar to yours but I'm impressed how you can play and sing at the same time.
Hey Peter! Have you taken my course on ear training? There are really helpful vocal/singing exercises and tips there. It's on my website. ;)
Thank you! I'll look into it. BTW, just become a monthly donator as an appreciation for all the great things you do. The work you do makes the world a better place.
So many gigs I’ve been to with this sort of strumming pattern in use in the stage. Great to have a lesson on it.
3:26 we know what you were thinking.... and sort of appropriate for this song mate!! :)
Great lesson man !! 👍👏👏👏😊🎸🎤
Great song. Love your course,and so glad this lesson has arrived.
This song never fails in making me feel emotional
gotta say, wasn't expecting to see you here
@@Asimov_ I really like this song
@@MickyD can relate
Ur the best !
Thanks! :)
I think this is a great tutorial ‼️ especially to practice finger picking style.

I should probably learn this one since in my job I'm always... leaving (usually on a jet plane). Thanks.
Super comprehensive. Thanks dude

"Goodbye Again" is very similar with a minor chord or two. "My Sweet Lady" is a great finger picking exercise.
Thanks
Fingerstyle showoff! 😀 Quality tutorial Justin. 👍
Glad you liked it!
Many thanks Justin! Your lessons are brilliant👍 i have learned so much from them👍👍👍
Great Man.
Could you please do Carolina in my Mind by James Taylor? I think it’s one of the best guitar pieces ever written.

Thank you so much for this! Beautiful song and a new fingerpicking pattern to practice and train my time feeling 😍
Wonderful lesson justin, thanks
Fantastic as always!!!
Thanks, Justin.
enthusiastic singing voice
Another great Vid! Thanks Justin! - Happy Holidays!
Thank god you did this I was waiting for months🤟🤟... you're the best teacher
Awesome lesson 👍👍 Perfect for the beginner course grade 2 module 11.
Im so happy i stuck with your lessons. Im about 3 months in and having so much fun!

Always the one .Justin
Wow!

Brilliant lesson. Other JD favourite is Take me home Country Roads.
Wonderful lesson Justin 👌🏻😊 btw which guitar and what strings have you used in this video? Sounds blissful 😇
Justin, great video again! Been following you for a long time already, and it nice to see for myself that I am able to learn this within 30 minutes or so after following your beginner course. So, thank you for that!

John d fan here...Best fingerstyle.
Can you do a lesson on "Annies Song" please Justin. Is the finger pattern that you use in the lesson a "Travis" picking pattern?.
Great lesson! thank you for posting. - James
Great lesson! Would appreciate a breakdown of I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
John Denver had such a high voice that it’s difficult to sing it in his range but does not sound right if you’re singing it in the lower range octave
Hi justin, do you advise to play this pattern using a pluck or a finger style is better?
Hi Paul. It really will be personal preference based on the sound quality, the timbre, the volume and dynamics you want to play with.
Cheers :)

Would you pls consider doing “Annie’s Song?” Others have done it but they don’t teach it well. Thank you. This was excellent.
Do you have a lesson somewhere on strumming with fingers? I've tried a few times but it feels odd having always strummed with a pick.
Great tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love you man
Lots of love back to u! ;)

Happy Holidays for you too! :)
@@JustinGuitarSongs Thanks so much Justin. A lot of Australians are very proud of you and your success.
Thank you for doing this. I've been trying to 'degug' this song and you have help me 'compile' a good version. (you see what I did there?)
Great choice Justin. also I want to say your guitar course is just fantastic, I highly recommend the purchase by others!
Can you please teach the iconic intro from the greatest hits album?
@@michael.trotter Yes please what is the tab although I don’t really care for tabs much I’m not that patient. Would’ve been nice if you had taught that iconic intro
Hey it’s my song I started after week 6 of your lesson plan! So glad you did a tutorial
My first Travis picking song
This of course only works if you can get to the chords without fumbling. Been trying to get to C for weeks but my fingers are just not playing ball!!
was my first fingerstyle song :-)
Me thinks you could finger strum in your sleep. Awesome!!!
Hey Justin, I hate keeping fingernails. I use the pulp of my fingers to fingerstyle. Do you think this puts me at a disadvantage?
Nice, Justin 🌹
:)
Idk how u popped back here on my page, i follow u since years now and last lesson i took from you was 4-5 years ago,!I should get back into it
Welcome back then! :)
Can you do Annie's Song by John Denver
"Lyrics that you try to play..." 11:14 Justin gets busted by himself!! 😆
That was great. Any chance of Rocky Mountain High too?
Justin, is that a Froggy Bottom acoustic?
Yep!
Is it ok if I played this song T 2 T 1 instead of T 1T 2? It's hard retraining my fingers.
You are talking about coding now? :D That is my job... playing guitar is to clear the mind. Hahaha
Is this a form of Travis picking?
Yes, the thumb is moving between two different bass notes and playing on all of the 1, 2, 3, 4 beats.

I just like seeing you!
Hey Justin it would be a great honour if you reply to me
I didn’t know a single chord before I found your channel
Now I’m an intermediate guitarist
🙏🏻
Hi, Avaneesh! Great to read your message, I'm happy for you. :) Good luck on your guitar journey, and keep up the hard work!
@@JustinGuitarSongs
Oh my god you replied!!!!
Thanks a lot Justin!
I promise you I’m gonna continue with the hard work❤️🙏🏻
☝️ 👍 ✊ 👊 Thanks for another great song to learn singing and playing. "once per bar" might be my only hope right now. 😆

Am I missing something here, the annotation for the C chord on screen is 3 0 0 1, should it be 3 0 2 1 as you play the 2nd fret on the fourth string.
He's not holding down the string for the C chord so it won't show on the tab. 🙂
What guitar is that?
What make of guitar is that Justin...
Must be a ton(ne) of John Prine songs you can play with this finger picking pattern.
So fingerstyle, you never play the G note on the high end for the G chord, or the F# for the D?
That pattern never plays the thinnest string on G and C, but the whole pattern moves down one string on D. So you don't play the 6th string G note in the G chord (you still get G notes from the 1st and 4th strings), but you do get the 6th string F# in the D chord.
The pattern ends up being, I think, G, G, D, B notes on the G chord and D, D, A, F# notes on the D chord.
@@TJStellmach thanks, somehow I missed that shift.
