    I know you probably hear this a lot but I really can't thank you enough for all these awesome lessons!! I got my son who's 14 into watching your lessons and now me and him jam together all the time. And spending that time with him means the world to me. So again, Thank you Justin!

    Thanks so much for this easy learning lesson. As you said "Learn by ear" means so much to me to learn to play the guitar at 52 years old.

    About 6 months into play guitar with Justin and come to the point where I am learning the Barre F chord.
    I'm at the stage now where 4 strings are ringing out and sometimes the high E string. I'm finding now though that I'm getting more benefit out of learning a song that has F in it. Wanted dead or alive is my go to, but I love CCR so I'm adding this to my repertoire.
    Thanks Justin for everything you do!

    Justin's videos are way under appreciated. It's basically because of his videos I'm able to play the guitar at all.

    John Fogerty wrote some great songs and this is one of my favorites. And his voice took it over the top. At 74 he's still playing mostly it seems on acoustic using standard chords. Never a credence Clearwater revival song I didn't like! Great song, great lesson!

  • @buddhamus
    @buddhamus 7 років тому +1

    Nice lesson. I'm a big fan of CCR and I hope you cover more of their tunes (especially anything with a John Forgerty guitar solo). Also I was wondering if you have listen to Link Wray (especially Jack the Ripper or Raw-Hide, my two favorites) and would consider doing a lesson on him? His sound is pretty primitive, but he had so much energy in what he did. I might be wrong about this, but there are times when I can hear a Link Wray influence in John's solos. I think there is a lot in what Wray does that would greatly add to a beginners or intermediate guitar players vocabulary.

    hi. Nice job a usual. I'm looking for chord progression over the solos. Specially in the foo fighters cover with JF. I think there are 2 parts of the solos. Chord progression of the 8 first bars is same as the chorus. But for second part, il don't know if it's Verse or chorus progression. Any idea ? Thanks.

    Another great lesson Justin. Big CCR fan. Gotta love Fogerty : )
    VERY Nice performance.
    On another note, how can you show how to play other peoples songs on UA-cam. I thought copyrights and lawyers would stop guitarists (i think some channels got copyright strikes or had to pull content down in the past) from sharing how to play songs online by now. Does UA-cam allow you to make adsense revenue (monetize) on other's songs too? Thanks for the feedback. I'm an aspiring guitar teacher myself and would love to escape the J-O-B myself.
