Awesome lesson Justin!

I have one request:

I and I think many other people can hear those wonderful riffs and melodies in my head. When I try figure them out on guitar it just doesn't sound the same and I literally try for hours when I think I got something really good going. Can you please do a lesson on how to get think from your head on the neck or if you already did could you or someone else link me to it? It would really mean alot to me.

Whant to see guitar fretboard all

[nice1centurion]

the sliding of your pinky over the two frets while keeping your original position is tough sheet

The muting the bar thing could be avoided by learning better control over your right hand technique.

this isn't how i learned it...

Your playing in these videos sounds like the sort of music the Stones and the Faces would've done. Listen to the faces version of "Sweet little rock and roller" and you'll see what I mean - thanks for educating us further :)

As always GREAT lesson Justin! Even though I'm used to playing the shuffles with 5th string root barre chords these power chords shuffle KILL m wrist!

Joan Jett's "(I'm gonna) runaway" uses a B power chord. KILLS me every time I play it!

@tombola1990 Basically if you take all of Justin's stuff together, theory, technique and ear training, you can move stuff from ear or head to the guitar no problem. :)
