Justin Guitar

There are hundreds of free guitar lessons here and it's taken a lot of work over nearly 15 years for me to create it all. It's important to me to help everyone that wants to learn to play the guitar, not just those with money for tuition, so I run it on an "honour system" and I rely on the honesty of users like your good self to make a donation if they can afford to.

Donations allow me to keep it free, so if you like what I'm doing then please support the site, don't leave it for "everyone else". This site is pretty much my full time gig these days, not a hobby, I want to continue making it THE best place to learn guitar, but I need your support!

Wishing you love, peace and happiness (and a fun guitar journey!), Justin

Can't believe my daughter is 3 months old already, time flying by so fast, think she's having a growth spurt and not sleeping as well as she has been and generally a bit more grumpy... which means I'm escaping to the studio more :) just kidding... kinda!

Well I'm going to have a full on few weeks. I'm taking a short break with family before heading to Tuscany for the workshops (yes it's a very hard life!) and so I've got a LOT of stuff to get filmed and finished before then, so I'll be pulling a lot of long days in the next few weeks. On top of that got the first overseas trip with baby which is presenting a whole bunch of new challenges...

Fridays will now alternate between Beginner songs and songs from the new Aussie Classics Songbook (now shipping), and I went crazy last week and got a bunch done... enough to last until November :) I've started filming the new Blues Lead 2 course and that'll start on Aug 2nd, but I've only a couple in the bag, so that's the next big project to hit, as well as the "Something For The Weekend" series of rock classics - and start on some blues too! So that's what I'll be doing!

The publishers are a bit behind on the Note and Rhythm reading books, not sure the hold up just now, but am on it and hope they'll both be out in the next couple of months.

There are still a couple of spots left on the Funk Workshop in Tuscany in September (a couple of people dropped out) - they really are all kinds of awesome - you get lessons with Dario Cortese and myself every day and we have a band that comes in the afternoon to jam the songs we learn - so you get great lesson, fun jams, great food and wine and beer, amazing location and the chance to make new guitar friends from all over the globe!! Bring your partner too and they can go explore Sienna, or horse riding, take language classes, or laze by the pool. you now you want to :) Go check it out!

I did a workshop in London last week and found it really good fun to be teaching in the flesh so am working on a new series of half day workshops to start in October, more news on them next month I hope. It's a bit of a hassle to organise them but they're so much fun and I got a lot of great feedback about them - thanks so much to all that came along.

Hope life is treating you great and you're finding plenty of time to practice (and enjoy yourself!).

Wishing you lots of love and laughter :) J.
