So I look him up on the internet and find out he now has an amazing big website with fully structured courses, really improved from just his youtube videos - if that could be possible. Fast forward about 10 years and for whatever reason Ive decided to take up the guitar again. I gave up guitar to concentrate on a different instrument at that point which I preferred. I was very skint back then and couldnt afford to pay for lessons, so that shows how good these videos were, to take a complete beginner through to intermediate level just through wee 10 minute videos. I remember thinking at the time what a good teacher Justin was, and liked the fact that his videos were all round about 10mins long each, so although his Youtube videos took you through a lot of important stuff, i never got bored and actually stuck with them all the way through, and ended up being an alright wee basic guitar player I think, because I did get comments when I played in front of family - they were surprised how good I was starting to get. Years ago I came across these video lessons on Youtube and went right through them all to teach myself guitar completely from scratch. I'm not sure if I will need the next course book but I will definitely buy his other song books Justin's teaching style is firm, honest but with an endearing personality.īuy his books, they will help you as they continue to help me. My teacher thinks it's good to have an alternate option to keep things fresh. The wall was of my making, getting hung on things that held me back. I am still having lessons but I still use both of my Justin books and watch his videos. To be honest though, I hit a bit of a brick wall after 5 months and decided to have proper lessons. I also splashed out on his song book which is also superb. If there's anything I was unsure of, I watched his Youtube videos which go hand in hand with this book. The book is very good quality and clearly laid out, the ring bind is perfect for this type of book.Īfter getting started I quickly got the first 3 chords down and was strumming along to Three Little Birds in a couple of weeks. I bought this book a couple of weeks later having never heard of Justin before, but in my research I was only hearing good things about his lessons and teaching style. With his many years of experience, you'll be in the very capable hands of Justin, who will be your faithful and helpful guide to learning the six string.Īfter toying with the idea of learning to play the guitar for over 20 ywars and a couple of false starts, in early 2020 I took the plunge and bouggt an acoustic.
