This is valuable information...best learned EARLY instead of having to "discover" all the technique LATER the hard way through experience. I use all these "tricks" to alleviate pain while playing. Sometimes just relieving one or two full barre chords and substituting the abbreviated shape will stop cramping enough. Also, you are dead-on with the lighter string gauge use, it is HUGE !! I play a '68 GIBSON "DOVE" dreadnought with D'Addario EXP 10's on it and I would not switch EVER from these strings. Easy to play, bend, hammer, pull-off and the volume and tone are awesome !! You have covered in 12 minutes what it took me 4-5 decades to "figure-out" for myself. Love your playing style, sir....keep doing and growning, you are poised for greatness.

How I wish there had been a KZitem when I was young and experimenting with musical instruments. If you don’t “get it” when one teacher tries to teach you, you can find other teachers who explain it differently. I might have been more encouraged to stick with it. You are an insightful teacher. Also an amazing guitarist. Much appreciated! I thoroughly enjoy your music.

Another fine lesson from the Master, thank you Justin!. Not only were you born to play the guitar (and many other instruments too!) but you were also born to teach. You inform with such clarity and make everything so easy to understand... even if it will take a while to learn to play. On another note, I have just purchased from you, and received, your entire CD recordings and all 6 tutorial DVD'S and they are all AWESOME!!. I will be purchasing a number of your online guitar tabs from your site and I see that they include you performing the piece too. Would it be possible if they could also include a backing track, of all parts minus the lead, so we can have a 'ready made band' to jam with once we have got to grips with learning to play the tune?. Thanks for all your output... You bring so much joy to so many people. Best wishes from Steve in England.
