Been playing guitar for 50 years and when learning songs, "just getting somewhere close" was always my first option, improving the song you went along. Nowadays my fingers won't stretch as far, so learning the easier way is what I do now. Keep up the good work.
Justin, your love for music is really inspiring. It helps to grow my love for music and also other things in life. For the past few months, I have been practicing and playing at least once or twice a week. I can see my guitar skills improving. Thanks for lessons. You are the music teacher most of us won't see face to face in real life, but if I ever see you in real life, I must give you a hug.
Justin , I really dug the pep talk !! Well done done man. I am a guitar teacher in Vancouver Canada. I only teach beginner classes, and quite often I refer to your lessons to prepare my own [ someday I'll shoot ya a few bucks for that. In the mean time....Thank you very much sir. ] I have shown all of my students your pep talk from this lesson. My students love you , and enjoyed your pep talk, even though none of them like, or want to learn Metallica . Be proud of yourself sir, the people of the world enjoy you and your talents. Someday they may award people like you, 'till then, consider this my and my students' trophy to you. Cheers ,Se@N McDonald .
Fantastic message in this video Justin, something I needed to hear! Also appreciated your personal anecdote at the end. Thanks as always for the great lessons!
This is great, I’ve always wanted to learn how to play this song. I like the way you explain through the lesson, you make it easy to understand.Thank you justin you have a great day.
What's Awesome is that you have remained humble & kind through the years 😊! Always enjoy your tutorials, always excellent!... Thank you so much Justin🤗
I completely agree with the comments near the end about "just play something close" if you love playing a song. I love playing St Cecilia by Foo Fighters and while I know it's not exactly what the Foos play, it's close enough thatnmy kids recognize it and I can play along with the track in my basement. Cheers!
This is awesome!! I found your other video before this, and believe me, I'm not a beginner. I been playing since the beginning of spring and every song I know came from you. Keep rocking Justin!! I love what you do man!
Wow, what a song!! And the thought that a beginner like myself could learn to play this is so mouth watering. Trouble is, I have started to learn so many songs already as well as routine stuff like scales, learning barre chords etc. I really should focus more, but I will be having a good crack at this soon. Cheers Justin
This is awesome! I played a long time ago and am finally trying to get back into it. This is a great explanation and I love the way you work through it! Thanks!!
great vid justin, just one small remark if i may, some parts you explain very thoroughly and some you kinda skip, sorry if it is visible on the video clearly, i am half blind so it makes it a bit trickier, but what exactly is going on at 6:20 between 5th and 7th fret? i understand the F power chord and hammer on, but i seem to have missed audio cues for the gradual build up in between 5th and 7th frets at 6:20?
Hi Beowulf, thanks for the positive response, sorry if some aspects are a little unclear. I have made tabs available for all 600+ songs if you're interested: www.justinguitar.com/tabs On the part at 6:20 ... There are two slightly different sections. All notes are played as eighths apart from the pull-off at the end which is as sixteenths. 1] open E string x2 7th fret A string 6th fret E string open E x3 E string 1st fret pull off to open E string 2] open E string x2 7th fret A string 6th fret E string 5th fret E string open E x2 E string 1st fret pull off to open E string Hope that helps. Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum
i dont even have a guitar, what am i doing here?.. oh yeah... i saw that video about white stripes seven nation army riff .... thanks youtube..now show me where i can get an electric guitar XD
I struggle with the second riff with the barre chord. ( shortish fat fingers) Getting the G to ring is hard. I actually find it easier to play it like the first riff as single fingered notes. BTW. Great lessons. Been a follower for some years now. Like the new approach and the pragmatic tips. More enjoyable to play something 90% right that sounds fine to someone listening than not play it at all. Remember, even Jimmy Page didn’t play all Led Zep songs “ correctly” when on stage.
Nice! I started learning fade to black before hitting this lesson. Started with the intro rhythm section and learnt all except ending solo. The intro picking in fade helped me learn the intro picking rhythm part for this song.
Excellent job like allways nitsuJ. I'm your (online) student (on your website) for 15months now. ATM learning Metallica's Nothing else matters, but after that I'll do my best on this song. Cheers
Brilliant, I'm on your beginners course, and I'm really learning loads, this is a great song Metallica rock🤘 thanks Justin keep up great tuition thank you, J.. 👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Hi Justin! Great lessons, nice songs, really motivating! I started with your web free course like 3-4 weeks ago, gave it some tip after using it for some days (and liking it a lot) and then I bought the smartphone app. Fully recommended to everyone, I can see a step by step improvement, and enjoy my songs sounding less bad (don't dare to say 'sounding better and better' :) ). IT would be awesome to have some of more metal stuff in the course. Keep it up!
Great advice, I wish I could go back to being 13 or 14 and pick up my Jedson Les Paul (with a cracked neck joint) and play everyday. Sadly I didn't-- I'm still a 'beginner' guitarist in my 40s but I enjoy it, and your lessons are inspiring, thank you for helping me & others!!
I needed to be reminded that my best effort is good enough. I tend to overthink things and believe I have to be perfect. I'm going to play the song to the best of my ability and enjoy singing along. With continued practice, I will be able to play the songs I learn more authentically.
I’m slowly making my way through the course and I got to this part I was like “psh this looks so easy my fingers can stretch just fine. This will be a piece a cake.” And I can confidently say I was wrong and will be practicing this regularly
This is a fantastic lesson for my level, and I think a lot of guitarist like me ....... I would love you to do a money for nothing lesson as there isn’t one I can find anywhere that isn’t finger style and a little to hard for me ....... please don’t worry about focussing on it being exactly like the record for advanced guitarists and there are plenty of lessons out there like that ...... Please show us how an advanced beginner could rock “Money for Nothing” with power chords ect !!
When playing with distortion/overdrive, one thing that makes a world of difference is palm muting... it can make the difference between awesome and noise
Maybe I missed it, but I was about to ask what nit suj was. But as I was typing, it hit me lol. Justin playing lefty, right? I'm guessing that's something you've been doing to see how hard songs are for beginners... That's clever. Referring to Nitsuj in third person threw me off 😂
Stuff that my hands don't work using the little finger shape on that first riff. ouch! I use 1st three fingers, keeping the 3rd finger anchored on 5th string and walking the first 2 fingers
I can't get my fingers to stretch across (and stay on) the frets.... They are jumbo frets though. I'm really trying to practice (I got a new guitar that I'm in LOVE with) because I really wouldn't want to return it.. Just keep at it right? 🙈 I'll get it right? Thanks for all your encouragement on this channel, one of the best teachers
Haa haa it's funny you brought up Money for nothin, i've been picking for 30+ years and still can't get that song right, i really like the way you teach and your mentality of play it the way you can and have fun. keep Rockin brother!
Hay Justin this was great , was recently interested in a song by Neil young called hangin on a limb , there’s a riff in it that I can’t figure out and thought why not ask the guitar guy , any chance you could have a look ?
As an absolute beginner greenhorn i decided to tackle enter sandman a week ago and have been struggling with it ever since. Probably should have figured out how to play it correctly by now but i'm not giving up even if it takes 6 more months to figure it out. By then i will probably be so disgusted with my inability to play guitar that i throw it in the closet and take up a new hobby. Being a beginner really sucks!
We have all been beginners. And many beginners burn out and give up by trying to play their passion-songs. Which prove too technically demanding at first. Can I recommend the Beginner Course www.justinguitar.com/classes/beginner-guitar-course-grade-one and then you will have a full structure and path to follow eventually leading towards your target of playing your favourite songs. Small steps take you there. Cheers 😊 | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]
I have been an avid viewer for the past year loved your learning skills as well as your personality but I am angry you have left you tube and you need to pay on your site don't you make enough on UA-cam...I don't believe this was your choice...please reinstate your you tube lessons that you had previously before %99 were taken down
I was literally planning to learn this song. It's like you read my mind.
Go for it. Cheers!
Been playing guitar for 50 years and when learning songs, "just getting somewhere close" was always my first option, improving the song you went along. Nowadays my fingers won't stretch as far, so learning the easier way is what I do now. Keep up the good work.
So appreciate how you break things down and give alternatives for the various learning levels we may be at. Thank you!! 🎸
My pleasure! Rock on :)
First song I learned to play. Like to come back now and then and learn new ways to play
Justin, your love for music is really inspiring. It helps to grow my love for music and also other things in life.

Hey Justin, your advise is the best that I have ever heard. Just enjoy the songs even it may not be exact way of playing it. 👍👍👍👌👌👌

I’m getting my first guitar soon and I have a feeling I’ll be here a LOT.

Thank you Justin you‘re simply the best;-)

Thank you Justin!! I love music!!
Great tip helping to keep you enthusiastic!
I started do that on guitar on piano not worrying about being perfect. Thanks for advice
Thanks Justin!
Thank you so much Justin. You have inspired me again. Finding that second journey in guitar playing.
Great to see your interaction with your community Justin, Great lesson for a great song 👊🤘
Initially that opening fingering is devilishly hard, but with a bit of practice it is so good to be able to play smoothly
I struggle with the second riff with the barre chord. ( shortish fat fingers) Getting the G to ring is hard. I actually find it easier to play it like the first riff as single fingered notes.
BTW. Great lessons. Been a follower for some years now. Like the new approach and the pragmatic tips. More enjoyable to play something 90% right that sounds fine to someone listening than not play it at all.
Remember, even Jimmy Page didn’t play all Led Zep songs “ correctly” when on stage.
Quality tune justin great lesson as always. Could you do some stereophonics or shed 7 plz or even the great Joe Bonnamassa
I second joe
Thank you so much Justin! Gonna learn this right away!! Could you do fade to black next!?
Enjoy! Will add Fade to Black to my request list. Cheers
@@JustinGuitarSongs looking forward to it!! ❤️😁

Genius! Great tips thanks Justin :)

Hola
Excelente
Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de enseñarlo
Gracias

Justin you should totally bring the scowling Tasmanian devil ending back to your videos!

When playing with distortion/overdrive, one thing that makes a world of difference is palm muting... it can make the difference between awesome and noise
100% ;)
Great video!
Hi Justin can you discuss the tone settings on your amp so we can try and sound like the song.
Maybe I missed it, but I was about to ask what nit suj was. But as I was typing, it hit me lol. Justin playing lefty, right? I'm guessing that's something you've been doing to see how hard songs are for beginners... That's clever. Referring to Nitsuj in third person threw me off 😂

Just keep at it right? 🙈 I'll get it right?
Thanks for all your encouragement on this channel, one of the best teachers
Appreciate the lesson. My issue is my inability to position all four fingers with control.
nice idea! :-)
you have saved my bacon thanks i nearly gave up on it before seeing this.
I have pure acoustic guitar should i practice it or not
Haa haa it's funny you brought up Money for nothin, i've been picking for 30+ years and still can't get that song right, i really like the way you teach and your mentality of play it the way you can and have fun. keep Rockin brother!
It's a kick ass song from old
Hay Justin this was great , was recently interested in a song by Neil young called hangin on a limb , there’s a riff in it that I can’t figure out and thought why not ask the guitar guy , any chance you could have a look ?
Nitsuj interesting word 😀 🏴
How do you produce that gritty sounding guitar at the start?
Great tutorial. Why not make a “can a beginner learn Money for Nothing”😁
Guitar full name please
I hope you all know I'm learning this just to blast it in a guitar store
Which guitar are you playing?
Custom made - by Gray Guitars London...
Do you know any sea shanties!?
what tuning is this in??
I only have a acoustic guitar:(
Daft question ... but where can I get that T-Shirt! I'm bunny mad and that looks like a hare in a helmet to me? No euphemisms intended!!!
Tee was from Dirty Velvet. :)

@@JustinGuitarSongs Thank you for the advice. I will check out the course and hope it helps
i know how to play the song the actual way but the barring part is the issue for me
My guitar sounds nothing like this when I play the notes idk why
Man do some polyphia tutorial
Was that a earth quake? Or the upstairs neighbor.
my brain hurts
I wanna know the 2 people that disliked it. Probably ukulele players! Unless its James and Kirk......
This guy looks like Danny D 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
HALO my friend. More people in the world like BTS. I ask for a song by this band ?
Is it normal for your fretting hand to absolutely ache the first time playing this? 🤣
Too many words.

It's obvious that you dont play metal. Fix pms
What tuning is needed for this riff
I am not following what I am supposed to do on part of 2 of riff 2
Same? He never actually explains anything other than the flick off? If you figured it out by now please share yo
