Please don’t laugh, but this element that appealed to me enough to learn to play guitar, well, I did not even know what to call it. This tutorial is the MOST IMPORTANT nugget I have ever come upon online. My brother-in-law beautifully uses this technique & he just experimented with it over 50 yrs of playing until he filled his musical toolbox, & for 37 years I too seek the inter-chord notes by trial & error until it sounds right to me. This tutorial will escalate my playing immeasurably. Thank you!
I’m not laughing my friend, I’ve been a user, (donating) of Justin’s fee web site for years. You might also want to check out his app if you want a more structured approach, it’s excellent, but it’s not free. By the way I’m not affiliated with Justin in any way, just a long time fan & student. This stuff is the very best out there, so I’m glad you found it. Hi from Brisbane. 🇦🇺🎸🎼
My family is full of guitar players and they're all very good at it, but they never really get to teaching me this wonderful string instrument. You are that family member I never had. Thank you
This video was therapeutic. 99% of instructional guitar videos are littered with people more concerned about selling their classes than actually teaching you something wholesome enough to expand with. This guy gives off major genuineness vibes
What's amazing to me about learning any type of music is that after 20+ years of study it's possible to have holes in the basic rudiments. While I've always been aware of this particular idea I never really "got it". But Justin, you made it so clear and easy to incorporate.
Justin, you are awesome. You're a naturally outstanding teacher and your manner and playing is wonderful. Thanks so much for all the years of showing us how it's done!
I was studying a flatpicking book which taught some walk-ups and walk-downs but they didn't explain how the transitional notes where chosen. You clarified it, thanks!
This is how I grew up playing gitty. I learned 'em by ear and many years. Heck I actually never thought much about what notes they are, just learned to hit 'em. It's great going back and learning it proper. This will be fun.
I have been trying to explain to my guitar teacher that I want to do this for months and never knew what to call it! Thanks for this, I guess I'd better get practicing...
Thank you Justin. You're videos are superb. I have learnt how to play as a result of your teachings, especially early on when you got me through the plateuing, where to go next stages. This one is great and it has consolidated ideas I was exploring in this area. Fantastic, thanks a million! Happy New Year to you and those closest to you.
Wow, sometimes we worry the intenet knows too much, but this randomly notifying on my phone was PERFECT timing in my guitar journey, and a really fab lesson, thanks Justin, you rock!! 😊

Another beaut lesson Justin, I haven’t done any work on this in ages. Fun simple enough pieces of info, & examples… challenges for some to reach for & achieve, reminders & exercises for others. Point is, new, seasoned, or developing further, there’s something for every level here. Nice one. Tim from Brisbane🇦🇺🎸🎼👍🥳
Hi i saw your very interesting video on " nut adjustment " great video , can you please tell me if nut groves wear down over time & what people do if this happens .... Thanks .
Very nice video! I've been practicing this and am doing well with it. But what is the next small step to make the chords sound a little richer. I don't see any roadmap for improvement.
"Sometimes you gonna go 'Wow, that was amazing!', other times you go 'Meeh'. And when you go 'Meeh' you just dont do it again. And when you go 'Oh that was amazing' maybe make a note of it somewhere". Sounds like a great life advice as well. I mean, if this guitar thing wont work out for you, might wanna switch to life coaching, just sayin' :P Thanks for the video, love recent uploads
Hi Justin, unable to access the website. There's a note saying that it's down and being worked on. I am still using RU-vid videos but would like to get back to the formal lessons. Thank you. Bill

Strongest beat of the bar? Weakest beat of the bar? First I have heard of this. Would you please do a video explaining this? Thanks for the videos you do.
You're just finding some notes that usually sit between the lowest root note of two chords and you play them in a way that sounds good as part of your transition from one chord to the other. Don't over think it at this stage. If you want a little guidance, learn the C major scale and play chords in the key of C = C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am.

How come it is supposed to be just playing two bass notes between chord changes, when in some instances it seems like he is playing more than 2 bass notes between chord changes? It's a bit confusing to me.
You might hear it as 3 notes instead of 2 notes in that video because he plays 2 notes in between and than a single root note of the chord before strumming that chord. Chord . let go of chord. play note . play note . form chord . play only low root note of chord . play chole chord. | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide, Approved Teacher & Community Moderator
