Blackbird - EXACTLY how Macca played it! Acoustic all time classic!

YouTube

Literally less than 10 minutes into Justin's "Blackbird" lesson & I'm really not good at fingerstyle, but he's such a great teacher 😁🎸

@dfs another vote for #justinguitar it’s been my source for learning since I got my acoustic guitar around a year ago. His beginners courses are completely free. You only pay for his advanced courses and there’s some apps that are entirely optional

I forgot that this is why I liked the #justinguitar app for playing songs

Finding clear #guitar notation is almost impossible. Chords on top of lyrics means that in addition to applying time info while I play, I have to also extract it while I sing. Not helpful

I think I tried to translate the garbage online to #tuxguitar last time and probably failed

Oooh, I should do that *from the justin app* first to practice the translation skills separately. It's all about solving one problem at a time!

@davidr I didn’t use the app, but +1 as an endorsement for #JustinGuitar

3 years ago, I loved #JustinGuitar for learning #guitar. The website, which is pay-what-you-want, is clear, comprehensive and well-organized.

The only problem is that I found the most fun and useful thing to be playing along in the *app*.

There was an app then, but it's changed. Is it still worth $$$?

(Later, I dropped the app and played to tracks, but I think I need to retrace my steps a bit. Maybe I should just go monthly for now...)

@sianm93 #JustinGuitar is really the go to resource these days.

He has an app, website, and YouTube channel

All hosted by an extremely pleasant fellow who has put a lot of thought into progressing as a beginner.

Most importantly: have fun, learn songs you like and stick with it! You'll never regret picking it up daily, if only for a few minutes.

@MarkHodderAuthor Are you familiar with Justinguitar.com ? It’s a great program and most lessons are free. #justinguitar there’s also a strong community of players, most are in the beginner to intermediate stages who share successes and advice - I highly recommend.
@akien another +1 for #JustinGuitar - I’m about 2 years into his course and it’s terrific.
