      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.

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.

    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!

    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!!
