Justinguitar.com Review

I believe justinguitar.com is the best website to go to if you are new and wanting to learn the guitar. Not only does he offer an extensive amount of beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons, but it’s also completely free! I initially found Justinguitar from his YouTube channel, the first day I got my guitar I found his Californication – Red Hot Chili Peppers Lesson on YouTube and I immediately loved his style of teaching and his laidback personality. He made guitar lessons fun when I was a beginner. Later on, I stumbled upon his website, and was amazed at how much content he offered for beginners. Everyday I would try and do at least one full module from his website and I found myself improving so quickly. Looking back on it, he has everything you need to teach new players. He goes above and beyond teaching all these chords, scales, strumming patterns, and songs. He makes it so you never feel bored and that you’re always improving and working on something that feels important and sounds nice. He even keeps updating it to this day, so there is more and more content and lessons to choose from. If I were to give any new player advice it would be to start following along Justin’s lessons from the very beginning because the order of his lessons really help you make sure you aren’t lagging in any areas of you’re guitar playing. I still watch back his lessons and videos to this day whenever I’m in a rut with my guitar playing.

Analyzing the Guitar Fretboard

Image
A typical guitar starts with 6 strings, varying in thickness. The thicker the string, the lower the pitch will be. The thicker strings are at the top of the guitar, and gradually get thinner. The higher you play on the fretboard the higher the pitch is going to be. So let's say that you a standard F chord on the first fret. If you move that same chord starting on the 6th fret, it will become a much higher pitched chord.  In standard tuning the 6 strings are in a E,A,D,G,B,E format. As you can tell from the diagram below, going from E to an F and a B to a C is a half-step apart. Meaning it takes a one fret distance to reach between the two. Whereas, going to a G, A, B or D takes a whole step, meaning it takes would require to two fret distance to reach. It is rather important to memorize the fretboard early on (or at least the low E and A string) to help understand the logic behind forming different chord shapes and solos. The reason why knowing the thickest two strings (E and A) is

Why You Don't Need Guitar Lessons

This debate is more recent now that theirs more resources available for guitarists. You can go online and find so much free content for guitarists at any level. Which sparks the debate on whether or not guitar lessons are even worth it these days. Would a person improve a lot more getting 1 on 1 style lessons with a teacher or instructor? Or does it not matter due to the sheer amount of free content that is offered online. For example, one could go on YouTube and find thousands and thousands of videos about how to play different songs, chords, riffs and information on guitar. In my personal opinion you have all the content you need on YouTube and online to allow a beginner to succeed in playing and eventually mastering the guitar. However, I do things having lessons could only benefit a person. Having someone by your side who knows what their doing and is able to give you feedback and instructions in real time is almost unmatched. Getting the undivided attention can be very helpful e
