Awesome! I'm a 75 year old beginner guitar player and I struggle so much, but by following Justin's lessons, at least I feel I'm improving...very slowly, but loving the journey!! Thanks so much for your help! Dire Straits watch out! Ha Ha!!!👍
There will be times you think you are wasting your time - in reality even if you play around with it for 5 min or so each day you will be doing things without even thinking about it where as before you would have to stop , then slow it down and repeat - you will see results - hang in and get in D and hang on !
Close to 40 and knuckling down to finally learn the guitar. 6 weeks in and I can't believe I'm at this juncture. The grind goes on but I'm super pumped and thankful for your work.
I'm 40 as well.... never give up my friend.... yes...the grind goes on. There is no end to your journey or learning. It's endless. Always a new skill to learn. But remember this.... 90 percent of all people on earth who touch a guitar will all quit within one year..... so if you make it for longer than a year....you are literally in the top 10 percent of all who have ever played. And every time you pick up your guitar and play and learn....you honor all of us who came before you. So thank you. A fellow student.

And here I am with Justin over 10 years later, after learning guitar, doing 100s of gigs and retiring. You were among, if not the first, but def the best. Thanks
Sir, u r a good teacher, I'm 51 yrs, I watched ur videos on guitar. I learned more from u. Now I can play all barre chords. Now I'm struggle for chord changing. I practice every day one hour. I can learn lot from u sir. Ur a good teacher, no words about u. God bless you sir. Almighty shower plenty of blessings on u Justin sir.
Today I was stuck with a very nice book of lovely fingerstyle songs. Looked so complicated and my fingers were all over the place. I checked out the folk fingerstyle module on your website and only after 1,5 lesson it all became clear. Like magic, now I know the method I have to follow to learn all these songs and were each finger goes. Opened up a whole new world. Youre a wonderful teacher, thank you so much.
I don't know if anyone else mentioned these, but progression #2 (Am-F-C-G) can be found in the Offspring's "The Kids Aren't Alright" and Social Distortion's "Reach for the Sky". Thanks for a great lesson.
I have watched your 10 years old videos and now I'm watching your recent ones. It connects me emotionally to you sir ! You are really a great teacher ! ❤❤
Not really been doing much Justin work lately but this has joined a few things together for me, watching him walking up the base line to change chords and adding a few embellishments while still strumming the chords. Seems so simple but I have ignored that so I’m going to get really comfortable on this now as it actually sounds like I can play guitar!
Justin I just wanna say what an impression you have made on so many lives? You are such a hardworking guy and so generous! I really want to thank you for being so brilliant and honestly an inspiration. Bravo!
Strumming remains my weakness. I love the way you can strum so softly and fluently. I also enjoyed how the order of all these chord progessions sound (and quite familiar without being able to pinpoint any songs - although the first one gave me a hint of Neil Young). I know all these chords so this exercise should help a lot.
This just may be the most important insight I have had in the last year! I primarily only ever wanted to play lead guitar and I'm decent at it. But the wifey wants me to learn what I call campfire and party songs. I figure if I can semi-master chrords and chord progressions I will well be on my way. Also the way you create the F chord from a C chord transition was a huge light coming of for me. Thanks for all you do Justin! I am learning a ton from you!!
List of said chord progressions: - I - V - vi - IV - vi - IV - I - V - I - IV - V - IV - I - vi - IV - V - ii - V - I - VI Also I recommend: IV - I - vi - V
20yrs blowing baritone & tenor sax in lots of bands and it’s this lesson where I got the ah-ha moment. One positive of lockdown , I’ve finally got the time to get going on learning the guitar. Love the beginner song app/ course - great for learning and consolidation. That one-minute app is also a great tool for practice sessions. Pure quality and a great ethos on payment.
Dunno at what point chord progression should be introduced I’m guessing very soon while learning chords… I started out with chord books and chord progression were in the book ;) good lesson for beginner - Justin great as always !!
I have one for the 1, 6, 4, 5 Chord Progression. "The Girl For Me" the first Song by Simon & Garfunkel, as Paul Simon self mentioned in an I think 80's Documentary of his music. Its a very common Chord Progression used for many songs of the 50's and early 60's I think.
Was trying to put my finger on a Tom Petty song since watching this video and then started learning Only a Broken Heart, to realize it's 2-5-1-6. Neato! Thanks, Justin!

People always say "play me a song" (OK we all get this) I play a progression and put some words to it and then the request turns to "no,play a song I know". I was getting just a bit bored at practice. I needed this practice boost.
I am not at this lesson yet but cannot wait to being able to just pick up a guitar and play some chord progressions like this. Am currently at stage 1 and am just learning to change from D to A and E.
@@abhinitmodi Unfortunately that's a pretty broad topic about chord variations, but if you're really eager, look up suspended chords for a (relatively easy) taste of this.

What was the strumming pattern??
i have been learning online for years..this guy and Marty are the OG's of guitar teaching..trust me.

why do you charge people for your app if you offering free courses? what does the app offer for $79 that is not available here?
nacho biz the play along song app
Gerry Attrik he has that on his other UA-cam channel called Justinguitar songs but he still charging yearly for the app 🤦♂️
nacho biz I don’t see what you’re referring to. Have you tried the free trial of the playalong song app?
Website is super slow , I had to comeback to youtube :/
And here I am with Justin over 10 years later, after learning guitar, doing 100s of gigs and retiring. You were among, if not the first, but def the best. Thanks

You're definitely one of the best guitar teachers on earth.
Here are all of them: C, G, Am, F -- Am, F, C, G --- C, F, G, F --- C, Am, F, G --- Dm, G, C Am
Thank you, who needs a whole video with soldiers like you 😂
Literally all of my songs use those chords
More Dm.😊
I don't know if anyone else mentioned these, but progression #2 (Am-F-C-G) can be found in the Offspring's "The Kids Aren't Alright" and Social Distortion's "Reach for the Sky". Thanks for a great lesson.
This is my favorite type of lesson.
Last sequence “2,5,1,6” Miley Cyrus “flowers”. Thank you Justin!!! Another great lesson.
I have watched your 10 years old videos and now I'm watching your recent ones. It connects me emotionally to you sir ! You are really a great teacher ! ❤❤

I started playing in Sept 2020, but I have learned more in the last last month from your videos. You are an exceptional instructor!

He is a great teacher!
Thank you so much for the C G Am F progression. I struggle with C and F. This progression helps me learn both and I get to hear a nice tune. Thank you

I listen to you talking and playing and I can’t wait until I can do these things. I am a million miles away but closing in. Thanks Justin
You are such a calm and amazing influence on my guitar playing journey.
Cant thank you enough for all you hard work that you share with us all. !
Hotel California - Southern Man - Mother - so many easy songs use variations of these progressions - Justin rules, been watching him for years now!
Great lesson! Easily explained what I - IV - V - vi (minor) means! Nice embellishments!
Seriously superbly explained and learned a lot from it. Thanks a ton for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Would love to learn more from you Justin sir.
Justin - Now THAT's how to teach a guitar lesson!!!
Thanks Justin. This will help me out a lot with my strumming practicing and plus it’s fun!
What was the strumming pattern for first chord progression?
Awesome! Thanks Man!

- ii - V - I - VI
Also I recommend: IV - I - vi - V
Can someone explain these V’s?
@natureboy tom But this is the way major/minor chords are written in music notation. Uppercase means major chord, lowercase means minor
Thanks for this
@@olonix4780 thank you!
Thank you Justin one more time! Your videos are so useful for mine
Magic! Justin.
Very cool thanks sir 😀
1st chord progression reminds me of dreaming my dreams- the cranberries
Pop music has the best chord progressions 😺
thanks still learning timing of my chord progressions getting the transition more smooth
You are a great teacher Justin
Like one chord progression becoming a variation of the other rather than being the same chord progression. Thank you !

Good stuff, for sure. I've been trapped in 1-4-5 progression, which is okay for rock and blues, but it's time to branch out! Thanks Justin!
This is a brilliant video on an equally good and relevant topic :) Thanks a ton for making this!
Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!and I can watch you playing for hours :) Thank you so much for these lessons, found you just today from India : )
New subscriber here from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you, Justin. Marvelous lesson with some very good chord progressions, cheers
Dunno at what point chord progression should be introduced I’m guessing very soon while learning chords… I started out with chord books and chord progression were in the book ;) good lesson for beginner - Justin great as always !!
Superb! I really enjoy your lessons and very easy to understand. Thank you very much😁!
very useful summary - thanks Justin
Very helpful as usual, thanks Justin ❤
This lesson really helps me put things together
I love looove watching your videos! thanks for so valuable information ❤
Very educational lesson!
Well done Justin!
Dude, your lessons are so helpful. Much appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I play the ads attached to your vids as a thank you!
As always thank you justin!
Which strumming pattern use for that chord progression?
Great information! I will be one fan of you who will be standing on one leg today. Thanks so much!
This is fantastic . Thank you
Justin definitely played “Take On Me” during the ii V I vi progression.
Loved it
The 1st progression ( I-V-vi-VI ) he introduced is "Take On Me". So please listen again. Cheers!
Really great beginning lesson, well done, cheers!
1 6 4 5 The Last Kiss by Roy ORbison also wonderfully covered by Pearl Jam
very good lesson-thank you justin
Exactly what I needed! Great class!
The very first song I heard immediately in my mind when you played the first chord progression was: LET IT BE by The Beatles.
I did too!
Thank you for all of the time you spend helping us. 👍
It really is great isn’t it?!
Awesome lesson and thanks for sharing your tips 👍
Let It Be, of course!
Superb, thank you

Thank You Brother- ( God's Blessings on you )
Well said Justin 👏
THANK YOU !!!
You always give me new things to think about when Im stuck in a rut. Thanks
Nice tone from that guitar.
Really helpful thanks
Second chord progression sounds like something used by Eagle Eye Cherry on "Save Tonight"
great lesson thank you so much.
This was really, really helpful! An eye opener! Thank you, Justin!
last chord progression reminds me of the moon song from the movie "her"
The first chord progression, 1-5-6-4, is literally Let It Be! Great video Justin, thanks!
Yeah it is
God bless you brother Justin
Was trying to put my finger on a Tom Petty song since watching this video and then started learning Only a Broken Heart, to realize it's 2-5-1-6. Neato! Thanks, Justin!
Justin, your videos are always helpful, but this one is super cool! 😜🤓
Great class. It’s getting easier for me over time, hopefully one day it will be as easy as you make it feel. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing chord progression. awesome lesson👍👍💚💛
first progression brought to mind Glycerine - Bush
Excellent lesson
People always say "play me a song" (OK we all get this) I play a progression and put some words to it and then the request turns to "no,play a song I know". I was getting just a bit bored at practice. I needed this practice boost.
Justin, thanks mate, been learning for years but this has sparked an interesting page in this book of learning. Great stuff and all the best.
Thanks for everything you give... first one : U2 With or without U...
I am not at this lesson yet but cannot wait to being able to just pick up a guitar and play some chord progressions like this. Am currently at stage 1 and am just learning to change from D to A and E.
Sneaky Justin, I saw you throw in those hammer-ons and base runs in between the strumming of these basic chords! Nice lesson, thanks!!!
yes that is the best here🤣
Do you know how to do it? What notes to hammer on and when? If so could you please teach me. Thanks :-)
@@abhinitmodi Unfortunately that's a pretty broad topic about chord variations, but if you're really eager, look up suspended chords for a (relatively easy) taste of this.
5:20 how to strum like this with while playing some notes, is there a video about this?
