Mar 29, 2010 - Justin, when you play, is the bottom part of your picking hand resting on the guitar or is it floating off of the guitar?

May 6, 2010 - tbh I kinda forgot about this particular exercise heheh, I remember this video but I don't remember what my playing sounded/looked like back in the day I wrote that. Now I grabbed my guitar and tried, I could do 80 perfectly and 100 a bit messy but I guess it was like I did 80 a year ago. I haven't played in a month cos I was on a holiday trip so still a bit rusty, but getting cleaner runs after each try. Done other exercises tho to help me build up speed. Guess I'm in the 100 zone now

Jun 29, 2010 - really great lesson man, for those of you having trouble at highert speeds try keeping your fingers closer to the strings at all times, like dont lift off so much, small as possible movements with your fingers, im pretty sure he says this in one of his lessons but incase u havent seen that 1 yet..

laufke Says:

Jul 25, 2010 - many thanks great tips and advices...(I have the very same metronome :-D :-)

SteadyRepping Says:

Dec 9, 2010 - @LeonPowolski it depends on what key you are in. If you are in the key of G major you only use that G scale you learned throughout the whole neck of the guitar. As soon as the key changes you change what notes you play. But in order to sound "in key" you stick with the notes of the key. If you want to get "abstract" you can venture out but those are more advanced note additions you will learn as you spend more time on the guitar and learn about abstract scales. Hope this helps some.

Jan 3, 2011 - I was just watching the new version of this lesson IM-124 ... and man you were too serious!!! I couldn't help but laughing with the "we'll be playin scales with a metronome...YEIIIII".....Keep Teaching the world how to play!!!!

UtzChips2009 Says:

Mar 7, 2011 - IMPORTANT NOTE: I was having extreme difficulty playing the scale on the 5th & 6th strings. I couldn't stretch my fingers & thought it was because my fingers were so short. THEN!! : I paid attention to where Justin has his thumb when he starts out. It's directly under the 3rd fret & POINTING at him!! Mine was pointing towards the head of the guitar. Once I changed, it all fell in place! Give this a thumbs up so it stays up top & other dummys like me see it!

Mar 8, 2011 - I made an account so I could post how awesome Justin's lessons are.

gigagrif Says:

Apr 16, 2011 - Is anchoring two fingers instead of just the pinky a very bad habit?

Aadil492 Says:

Aug 8, 2011 - I don't have any problems with finger stretching but I have A LOT of trouble synchronising with the metronome clicks. Can anyone help me here? Is it something that goes away with practice?

mbphofan Says:

Aug 29, 2011 - that was me who phoned

TyneGibbs12 Says:

Sep 11, 2011 - What sort of Tele are you using in that video, Justin? I know it's a Tele but is it a re-issue, a custom, or have you changed the pickups and stuff yourself?
