    Just when I thought JustinGuitar couldn't be any better, we have this partnership. For those like me learning to play the guitar by following Justin's programmes with a singer-songwriter aspiration, this is pure gold. Chris your approach just strikes a chord with me and compliments all my guitar learning here.
    Watching this video it is reassuring to see how your voice tracks on the tuner, and tells me how to assess my own pitching and what good looks like.
    Justin & Chris, many, many thanks for all you continue to share to help us to learn and be the musicians we aspire to be.

    Thanks Justin for making me discover a singing teacher I can connect to!
    I have started re-learning guitar last spring after getting an acoustic guitar for my 10-yr work anniversary(!). I played classical guitar 5 years as a kid, then a bit of bass and electric guitar as student. But since then (25 years ago), got disappointed by myself every time I tried to play again. Until I discovered online courses and found yours after getting this new guitar. I went through the beginner courses in 6 months to rebuild my knowledge, and you put me back on track with strong motivation and excitement to play the guitar!
    As one of my goals is to be able to sing while strumming, I was also looking for online singing lessons but it was harder for me to find something appealing. I did a bit of “classical” voice training and started to learn and improve (but still don’t really sing).
    Now I am discovering @Chris Liepe and really like several things of his courses: the genres of music in his program I can relate to, the use of the guitar for practice, and his quite different approach to learning how to sing, focusing first on freeing and discovering your voice, and getting comfortable with it (one of my big issues being to be confident enough to dare sing in front of others, or even hear myself!). I also like the using tools that help understand what is happening, and this particular lesson is a good example of how to do that.
    So here I am starting Chris’s Discover Your Voice course to see where it will bring me!
    And soon I’ll jump to Justin’s Intermediate courses, after I have reached my 20 songs I can play start to finish... That is my 2021 plan!
    Thanks to both of you for providing exciting and affordable courses! (and yes I have done regular contributions to @JustinGuitar, who deserves it, and bought apps and song books to support his tremendous work!).

As a 62 year old “newbie”, to this guitar and singing lark, I am totally fascinated by this whole new world, and can appreciate so much more when listening to music now. Question please, I do have limited financial resources, and as mentioned elsewhere, you Chris are using Waves for the tuner, so am I correct in saying I would need an interface and condenser mic to connect to my MacBook to be able to try this technique? Or, is there a cheaper way? (I do have a dynamic mic and amp at the moment). Thanks guys
