    One day, when I start working, I'll donate as large of a sum as I possibly can. I owe every bit of my guitar playing ability to you, Justin. Thank you!

    John Mayer is so badass. I think he still doesn't get the respect he deserves because he had early pop success.....and is a good looking dude. I honestly had no idea, until I saw him live on a tour with Sheryl Crowe ( also awesome songwriter/performer) and was blown away.
    Justin.....I love all that you bring and teach and inspire. Thank you for your work. Lot of internet guitar guys out there....some of which are good.....but I always come back here for the best.
    Cheers mate.

      Justin just wondering what your suggestions on soloing would be? Using scales and how to get better at it, over chord etc. If you have a lesson or a very reliable video that you know about. Thanks

    @niklaspilot 7 років тому +60

    One thing I have to mention that hasn't been commented on before is how you absolutely nailed the John Mayer tone! It's what makes this riff really shine!

  • @chrisb8075
    @chrisb8075 6 років тому +5

    This is why l keep coming back to Justin. It's the whole package, tone, touch, technique, alternatives if you have small hands, and respect for the music. All without the hindrance of ego. Top bloke.

  • @pandabearguyman
    @pandabearguyman 7 років тому +532

    I think I might actually put in a comment here, since I rarely do.
    Justin - You're the reason I've been playing the guitar for 10 years and can say that this song is "oh, it's a quick take-in lesson for me." You made everything easy to understand while always being informative. Now I just need to work on my theory and improv skills, because those are lacking for me.
    Cheers, Justin! Keep up the good work!

      @Flyers fan 23 'Broken Arrow' is song by the Buffalo Springfield from 1967 that Neil Young wrote and performed. It's also the name of his ranch he bought in 1969 aged 24, and also the name of his album with Crazy Horse in 1996.

    I find myself listening to this lesson while I prep to speak this afternoon to a music teacher's group. They are having a luncheon and I'm the featured speaker. But just listening to you teach, Justin, is a pleasure while I think and write. Isn't that weird? Who does this? I listen to someone teaching music instead of listening to the music itself. I find that I don't listen to music so much anymore. When I was a teenager I listened for hours a day, and that was before iPods, mp3 players, phones, etc., that could play music anywhere, anytime. That was even before CD's and portable cassette players. Back to work!

    Justin I must say that you are a very rare combination of an incredible player, experienced teacher and a really likable human being. It is not common. I tried many guitar courses and yours are absolutely the best. Superbly structured, well-thought and clearly explained. They helped me develop as a guitarist and a musician in general as no other. Love your work. I can't stop recommending you to everyone interested in their guitar journey. Thank you so much!! :)

  • @Nikkimaya1

    im a beginner. love the sound of this song.it took me one hour to learn the first bar.
    THANK YOU JUSTIN.
    maybe i get back to this song in the future....
    i will keep playing the first bar until it sounds better and my timing is very slow..
    i wish i could play this tune...

  • @SweetcornHeadA266
    @SweetcornHeadA266 6 днів тому

    What makes this tutorial stand out more so than the others is an in depth relation that Justin does to the scales and theory that really help tie this song together. I was unsure of how to tackle this one but its really helped me to understand how this song works. Thankyou! I feel like I can start working on the improv areas of this one now to finish it rather than just playing the basic chords. Also covered the nuanced slides into the notes which I was not getting 100 percent correct!
    Can anybody tell me the scales I should learn for the improv bits?

  • @quailstudios

      “Who says” with emphasis on the finger slap technique he uses in a lot of songs would be killer. Thx great lesson!

    • @jonsepulveda
      @jonsepulveda 7 років тому +1

      MrGdong Have you tried checking out ultimate-guitar for tabs/chords? It is a great place to find chords to songs. I recommend the one titled "I'm gonna find another you tab" verion 2. It's pretty on the money. The only difference I can hear is that I would recommend an F chord instead of the Dm that the tabs suggest. Best of luck!

    Justin - First off, yours is a good lesson to be sure. I have been noticing this song lately online as I rarely listen to radio. Love the song, it's so musical, don't really care about the words, but getting curious about the chords. Your lesson clears a lot of that up.
    I hope this isn't too far off topic but I was wondering what you think of the Mike Dawes version of this song and do you think he strays a bit away from the original structure of the song - thanks

      I agree it's a great song, but it wouldn't be great for a wedding. :)
