Contact Justin Guitar Lessons Songs Support

This app is mainly an aggregator of the videos on Justin’s website. Yes, it follows a progression like the site, but the site has a lot more content. The big disconnect between the app and the site is around song playing. The app has a play along feature that is reminiscent of guitar hero. If you want to learn how to play the song, you’ll need to go to the website and watch the video. The site lacks the guitar hero type functionality so in this regard, the app and site compliment each other. The app would be much better if it included the song tutorial videos. Other things that the app leaves out: too much to list. Go to Justin’s website to see all that’s missing. Finally, I am annoyed that I can’t switch between my iPhone and iPad and have everything synced. If I do lessons on one device, I have to manually tag them as completed on the other device.

Overall, the Justin method is a great way to learn guitar and Justin is a gifted teacher. This app really helps get you going on a logical progression for beginners. I have used it for stages 1-5 so far and am very pleased. Playing along with the songs and tracking for your chord change speeds is really great. However, I only gave four stars because there are a few inconsistencies, ie the video on blues shuffle refers to the triplets video that is not on the app (but is on the website) and there is an exercise for ‘old faithful’ but no intro lesson video for it. When I encountered these inconsistencies, I went over to the website and realized I’d been missing a whole lot more content such as the ear training and all the written commentary and practice schedules. Truly, the free website is the best place to drive your progression, not the paid app. What the app provides though, which is totally worth the money, are the songs you can slow down and play along with. So get this app and use it just for those functions!

This is by far the best app to learn guitar with. Justin is an amazing teacher, with great exercises and an easy to understand approach. He’s very encouraging. I loved every stage of this course. However, when I paid for the full access, I did not realize that the first 9 stages were the only stages in the app. I thought all the intermediate and advanced levels from the website would be in the app as well. But it’s only the first 9 beginners stages. So you have to go to the website for everything else. That was a bit of a bummer, as I paid for a full year’s access, but I got through the whole first 9 stages in just a couple months. It’s still good to have the access for more practicing of the basics, but I was hoping for more levels after stage 9 in the app. If they could add all the intermediate lessons from the website into the the app as well, I’d probably buy a 2nd or 3rd year of access. But with just the 9 stages, I will probably stop using the app after year 1 and just switch to his website 100%. However, if you already know most of the basics, and are looking to buy full access to take your playing to the next level, you may not want to buy it here. Just go to Justin’s website and do it there instead. But if you are a beginner, I can’t recommend it highly enough!
