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.
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.
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
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.
Remember that the whole of this course is free on the website :) there are 12 in this lesson - some will not be public on youtube :) www.justinguitar.com/categories/beginner-guitar-lessons-grade-2
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.
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!
C Major - Chord Progressions 😉 : 1: 1-5-6-4 (C G Am F ) 2: 6-4-1-5 (Am F C G ) 3: 1-4-5-4 (C F G F ) 4: 1-6-4-5 (C Am F G ) 5: 2-5-1-6 (Dm G C Am) C Major Chords: 1: C Major, 2: D minor, 3: E minor, 4: F Major, 5: G Major, 6: A minor, 7: B diminished
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 ! ❤❤
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.
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!
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!!
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.
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.

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.
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
Wow, Dude! You taught me how to play guitar some 15-16 years ago! Good to see you are still active! And thanks for teaching past me! (Well, actually, this year I found out, I never could really play the guitar. Listening to one's own recording is quite confrontational... But to be fair also the way you can improve reallly really fast! You hear exactly what you are doing wrong, so...)
By the way, came across this video because I was looking for a list of chord progression (. I have this suspicion that in composing, a chord progression might be a good starting point (previously, I would try and create a hook, via a riff, or lead+bassline or whatever. But that is not a super efficient writing method in my experience. I wanna try chord progression as a starting point now, and practice using the circle of fifths for writing purposes. Any tips about this, are more than appreciated. My music theory understanding is quite limited. Well at least when it comes to the jargon…. But that makes communication difficult! xD
Hey! I am still practicing. I just don't always do it to videos. Learned to play, Happy Birthday, and will need to record it for my son-- before next week! So that's been the latest. I like this. I do like chords progressions.
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!

Hey good day just came across one of your beginner videos today. Have been playing guitar for approximately 55 years, learn some music stuff here and there but just primarily created my own tunes and jammed with people and such and lots of closet recording. You are a great inspiration and a great teacher ! Thank you for sharing this and teaching us all something new. Keep up the great work enjoy playing. PS nice selection of instrumentation behind you in the video.👍😊 stay well have a beautiful day look forward to your videos. Jim
Hi all and thank you Justin for your courses and free contents. I would suggest to listen a song from an italian songwriter, Franco Battiato: the song is "Gli uccelli", where he applies the chord sequence VI-IV-I-V, the second one presented on this video-lesson. Good music to you all !
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!!!👍

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

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!
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!
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 : )

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.
Great lesson! Easily explained what I - IV - V - vi (minor) means! Nice embellishments!
This is a brilliant video on an equally good and relevant topic :) Thanks a ton for making this!
Superb! I really enjoy your lessons and very easy to understand. Thank you very much😁!
Like one chord progression becoming a variation of the other rather than being the same chord progression. Thank you !
Hotel California - Southern Man - Mother - so many easy songs use variations of these progressions - Justin rules, been watching him for years now!
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. !
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
Great information! I will be one fan of you who will be standing on one leg today. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Justin. Marvelous lesson with some very good chord progressions, cheers
Justin - Now THAT's how to teach a guitar lesson!!!
You are a great teacher Justin
Magic! Justin.
This lesson really helps me put things together
Awesome! Thanks Man!
thanks still learning timing of my chord progressions getting the transition more smooth
I love looove watching your videos! thanks for so valuable information ❤
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.
You always give me new things to think about when Im stuck in a rut. Thanks
very useful summary - thanks Justin
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 !!
1st chord progression reminds me of dreaming my dreams- the cranberries
Pop music has the best chord progressions 😺

As always thank you justin!
Very cool thanks sir 😀
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!

@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

Thank you for all of the time you spend helping us. 👍

The first chord progression, 1-5-6-4, is literally Let It Be! Great video Justin, thanks!
Yeah it is
last chord progression reminds me of the moon song from the movie "her"
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!
Excellent lesson
Nice tone from that guitar.
thank your for the lesson you are helping me with the guitar very much you deserve all your subs and likes!!

Good lesson plenty of nice things to play with. I am not so good at hearing a song until someone hints. Thanks
Second chord progression sounds like something used by Eagle Eye Cherry on "Save Tonight"
