[@michaelbarash3565]

Justin is such an amazing teacher. His blues coarse really opened my eyes about how to play that style. Can't recommend it enough.

[@justinguitar]

Cheers dude!

[@peterhall4852]

​@justinguitar As a current learner...Both the blues solo and rhythm courses are fantastic. They both gave me a huge leap in knowledge and ability.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Damn this is so refreshing to see. The perfect instructor with the perfect student. Lee knows what he doesn't know and Justin can see exactly what he needs to know and when. Perfect.

[@frmcf]

Lee! It's not really true to say that you only play for yourself, when tens of thousands see you playing on youtube every week. You've got a bigger audience than 99% of guys with guitars, so if you need a reason to practise, there it is!

[@davecarsley8773]

That's actually true. Yes, Chappers might be a better guitar player technically, but I regularly break down and learn the licks that Lee plays during their jams (since he's more at my level). He has a bigger audience -- and is more or a role model -- than he thinks.

[@barduck42]

This is fantastic! You guys work so well together. This series is so informative and yet feels so casual and fun. Applauds to Justin for being able to convey any topic so clearly and hats off to The Captain for having the balls to so nonchalantly admitting all the stuff he doesn't know and goofing around in front of a large audience. The only complaint is that it's too short! Or it should be a daily show :)

[@TheScottCard]

Justin you are a gifted natural teacher!

[@justinguitar]

Cheers Scott!

[@johngbradt]

Anderton is the perfect student because he asks all the questions we have for us lol 🎸🤟😎

[@stirlingarcher2141]

Justin is the best I've seen for keeping & bringing a topic back on track quickly :-0

[@northof50now]

I've been learning guitar over the internet for the past 4+ years. There is a wealth of information. Unfortunately, it lacks the continuity and linear delivery [as well as the structure/guidance Lee referenced] that a one-on-one teacher would provide. Lately, I've been wondering if I would be a better player if I had a personal teacher. Justin, your courses are the closest thing I've found to having an actual teacher that knows how to teach and set up instruction. You are clearly the best [used correctly] guitar teacher on the internet. Thanks for all you've done.

[@justinguitar]

have a look at new.justinguitar.com - you'll find rather a lot of structure and linear delivery!

[@northof50now]

Absolutely Justin!! I did Marty's course for a year, then your beginner, intermediate, blues and jazz courses. Currently, working with Tim Pierce. I've purchase several of your backing track recordings and books. The structure you provide is second to none! Best on the internet. Your courses actually look like you had a plan when in development - unlike all the others who seem to put up whatever motivates them that day.

[@northof50now]

????? Please spare me the "mojo" nonsense. Learning does not come from within. The desire to learn, the desire to dedicate time, the desire to push one's self come from within. Learning, comes from external stimuli, new to the catalogue of information you already have. If learning came from within, we would all have "all the answers" already. Unfortunately, your opinion is one of those "flowery BS" lines that have held people back from actually mastering their craft. Respectfully

[@uriteimwrong7317]

northof50now if u can, get a personal teacher. I think it’s quite different than learning from the internet. Eventually, you will move on if u want from an actual person and at that point the internet is very helpful. The internet’s great for people who can’t afford a personal teacher but there is something missing. Like you can’t ask any question you want or ask to learn things you want in particular etc.

[@jburdsinfuse]

If you’ve been playing for that long, find someone else to play with. That was the ultimate rut-buster for me. You pick up licks, timing and it forces you to get better because real people make mistakes for you to work around. Just a thought.

[@lecmb]

The Captain ripping right up 😊. Justin is an incredible teacher. The best I've ever seen.

[@konnektlive]

Great teacher with great skills and wonderful approach to teach complex topics in simple ways. Keep up the great work Justin! And thanks Andertons for these, please keep them coming!

[@malicesmom]

I am just finishing up the Justin Guitar beginner course after almost 2 years (in between work and kids). This little collaboration series have given me confidence that I will be able to get this whole blues improve thing. Thanks Justin! Your teaching is the best!

[@JonasGovaerts.]

Justin, you've been my main guitar teacher throughout my learning jouney for the past two and a half years. I'm so grateful that such a motivational teacher as yourself guided me from 'the search for a nice hobby' to a truly passionate guitar pupil. Your courses are the best foundation to build my music exploration on. With a guitar playing passion there is a slight risk of falling in love with all sorts of guitar gear as well.. To see you with the people of my favourite gear channel truly makes me happy! Thanks a lot for everything man!

[@MrKapeji]

This is by far the best tuition I have yet found online, I am at a similar stage to Lee and like so many others find the rut makes me pick up a guitar less and less, but the 5 minute practice idea is surely the best way ever to improve, I am looking forward to spicing my playing up with this series, what a great resource. Thanks to Lee and Justin here.

[@matteosaottini930]

Justin is such a gift to mankind. Thankyou Justin.

[@simdoyle]

Guys this is great viewing, loads of little tips and tricks that are well set out and presented. Captain, kudos to you for putting yourself out there dude.

[@markeecoward]

I LOVE THESE. Justin is the best teacher I know. You are so lucky to have him teach you. My two favourite channels together 👌👌

[@kjmdrumz3]

23:14 you can see the sense of accomplishment on the Captain's face! 23:29 I've never been so excited for someone on a video. He NAILED that change!

[@alfredquecksilber79]

Keep doing this, you two. Good vibes coming through youtube to the other side of the channel. I like

[@SamlonHoldfield]

GREAT lessons from Justin. So nice to see him on this channel. Excellent addition! Thanks.

[@peterrailton2046]

The British Captain Pugwash animated television series, which originally aired on the BBC between 1958 and 1967, is widely believed to have featured characters with risqué maritime names such as Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy. In fact, the crew of the famous Black Pig ship included sailors with no such names. Present on board were Master Mate, Tom the Cabin Boy, and Pirates Barnabas and Willy. (No character with the designation of ‘Seaman’ appeared in the show.) Series creator John Ryan successfully won retractions and settlements from Sunday Correspondent and the Guardian after both newspapers claimed that the show’s characters did indeed have smutty names, and that the BBC had taken it off the air as a result.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Peter Railton I believe what I chose to believe sucker! Why don't just piss on Santa while you're at it!

[@twinleaf3076]

What?

[@royandergoogle3012]

You learn so much more than guitar here 😂

[@martindodd6045]

Love this series. I have quite basic knowledge of music theory so a simple guide to when and when not to use notes outside of the generic box is great and gives me inspiration to experiment a bit more outside of my comfort zone. Thanks guys!

[@SpedSpedding]

Liked this video a lot. Delivery and control is second to none Justin. 👌🏻

[@russpbg]

These lessons with Lee are great for me because I feel like I’m at a similar point in my music theory. I have a feeling a lot of people are stuck in the pentatonic boxes too. I love Lee’s willingness to set his ego aside and ask the questions we are all wanting him to ask. Great job!!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I feel so much better now. What Justin said at the end about not worrying what mode or scale that note falls into just play the damn thing because it sounds great and have fun with it. Damn. So spot on. And Lee is a better guitarist than he thinks, he just doesn't know it. And Justin is just a killer teacher.

[@JKM395]

I just want to take a moment to say thank you to both of you. I'm completely self taught, and can play well enough to do small shows but, since I never had a guitar teacher, I've simply had to pick things up along the way. Effective ways to practice however, isn't really something that comes up. I've watched Cap for years now, and found you through them. I can already tell that I'm going to be spending some time in your back playlist. Thanks again.

[@mdowney14]

I love this series! Brilliant idea. Please keep them coming.

[@sethleary1877]

This is such a dope idea for a series, and what sets it apart from all the other video lessons is the fact that the Captain can ask questions. The same questions we'd all be asking if we were getting lessons. Keep it going!

[@superflea72]

great stuff Lee and Justin, loving these great lessons/tips...please keep them coming! 😎

[@johnnyhoulihan]

Great to watch Lee, someone we trust with great advice on gear etc struggle like the rest of us. Makes us feel human. Very generous, great content guys.

[@alcurtis93]

Lee is coming on really great

[@bernoulli884]

This series is remarkably helpful. Captain's got very similar concerns I have and good on him for putting this out there for all to see.

[@leewintle3506]

Really informative lesson - even the deviation from the main topic was interesting and fun to watch. Its really refreshing to see someone being taught during a video, asking the same questions that would come to my mind and dealing with the same confidence issues when tackling something new. Thank you so much for this video series and I hope to see more!

[@lynxer29]

Another awesome lesson. These are perfect for where I am at with my playing, keep it up guys!

[@koenlauwaet6045]

I'm a justinguitar student and love Anderton's videos whenever I have a GAS-attack 😀... The two combined however is pure magic! Thx guys !!

[@danjcobleymusic]

Justin - i know I’m nothing special, so I don’t mean to sound like a **** but always thought I was ‘past’ KZbin tutorial videos despite being in a rut for a while, so ignored loads of people who recommended your channel, until now! Just came across this and it has opened new doors for me. Explained some theory and explained some notes I already play but didn’t fully understand, without being too simple or too plain boring like some of the painful theory videos I’ve tried to put myself through! I’m convinced, and you’ve got s new subscriber! Cheers!

[@hugefatdong69]

These lessons are fantastic. Keep em coming 😀

[@chr15tree]

Learned more from just the first two episodes of rutbusters than £100's of lessons. Loving this series. Thanks guys, this is unique fun and perfect for loads of us stuck in a rut players.

[@Cornan1980]

I was just wondering when there'd be another episode in this series. You guys have to keep doing these. I'm in such a similar place as The Captain is and these videos have already been a huge help. Thanks to both of you!

[@green_beats]

That Is The Most Ambitious Crossover Event In History! Two best guitar channels in the world coming together!

[@Guitarplayer724]

this is great, I love the atmosphere of these video's. Keep them coming..PLEASE.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

These guys are good! Everytime I watch one of these I am fired up and really tear into the guitar. So much great info. Even if you take one little nugget, you're a better player

[@luvin2fly]

Lee. Thank you for your Channel. Theres a large body of water that separates us. But watching all of you has opened up do many new ideas and has helped my playing. Lee watching this episode is like its talking to me. This is where I'm at. Thank you for it all.

[@madgeniusmusic]

Great again. Enjoying these.

[@AndyInTheUK]

This combination really works. Justin is an awesome teacher and The Captain is perfect entertainment. More please guys.

[@JerryRossCreative]

Excellent lesson! I learned a lot. Keep them coming.

[@mike5058]

you 2 are great together!! Great idea this collaboration is!

[@alanohagan6999]

Awesome again and mucho respect to the Captain for putting himself out there like this

[@mikedr1549]

This is great Justin - in some ways it's more helpful than just having you sit by yourself giving a lesson. The Q&A part of the lesson is quite helpful.

[@nicirvin1994]

Whoa.. Feel the progress.. You've opened up a whole bunch.. Obviously listening and learning from Justin.. Its working really well.. And of course Justin is 🔥

[@danielguitar5150]

Absolutely love this series!

[@clench13]

Great work Justin, the captain actually seems to be listening to you. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next one.

[@VinJapanGuitarShop]

Justin is a fantastic guitar teacher. He explains things very well. Nice and slow and in the right order!

[@justinguitar]

Cheers!

[@riffmagos]

Justin, you're a bloody legend. Thank you for helping me with my own guitar journey.

[@chrisofnottingham]

Just to say I think it is far more useful to present one idea over a whole decent length video and explore it, talk about it, play it etc. than to make a "Top Ten Ways To Rut Bust!!" video which goes in one ear and out the other.

[@russpbg]

Totally agree!!

[@benstewart9014]

Brilliant. Clarity. Please keep making these.

[@jhasseld]

What!!! You guys are breaking the interwebs right now! Awesome!

[@nostaticatall]

Justin is a truly wonderful teacher. Cheers.

[@Kryptic1234]

This one was a lot smoother than the first! Really enjoyed the discussion on the 6th. Even though I know all this stuff in theory, it's still nice to hear some more examples and really hammer the idea in.

[@peterllewellyn9655]

Great couple of lessons, please do some more!

[@ojabog]

Captain and I are struggling with the same stuff. Mucho respect for Justin after seeing this.

[@3cardmonty602]

You should make this a monthly lesson show. It would be great with Justin. This was GREAT theory talk. In Poland they only have one note - V - for Vodka.

[@EscPointDev]

Started on your blues lead 1 course a few weeks ago and I accidentally used the F# in the second position of the Minor Pentatonic scale when improvising. I have been using the 6th without even knowing but this cleared up how to actually use that note! Looking forward to the next rut buster! :D

[@davidkeane2399]

Great job lads. Cap'n coming on like a champ.

[@ront8270]

I do’s hope u and Justin do way more of these

[@fgml08]

This crossover just made my day, been watching both these channels for years now

[@justinguitar]

:)

[@VERBANDTREM]

Stick with it Lee! you were sounding awesome mixing that 6th in there!

[@dashripkin]

Worlds colliding! Seriously, though: love it. Keep it up!

[@HC_GUITAR]

Justin has been so influential with his youtube content. I have learned so much from his videos.

[@paulppetersson]

I really love these videos because of the Captain as right at that level between intermediate and blues maestro. Like he knows the basics and now it's just pushing it all a step further. Very helpful for a player like myself! Keep it going, guys. Next time maybe some phrasing or more of those "color notes" out of scale to spice up the playing.

[@davepayne164]

Really great series, gents. I’m at a similar place to Lee so this is incredibly useful. Thanks and please keep em coming.

[@sirderpsalot]

Really digging this series of videos. Keep 'em coming! :D

[@chiparooo]

Great stuff! I feel like you Lee as far as knowledge and ability. You are asking about a lot of the same things that confuse me. Thanks for sharing! Love this series.

[@mmcc321]

This is great. Its really helped me come along in my playing!

[@MarkKliethermes]

You guys are both awesome. Kudos from the USA!

[@robgruhl3439]

Fantastic lesson, thanks Justin!

[@Ryanphsproductions]

Guys please, please keep doing this. A couple a month would be bangin'.

[@jockelindgren]

Justin you are a true inspiration! Thank you!

[@edwardtcrump5312]

That was great. really satisfying to watch. Very helpful and revealing (the bit about what the harmonic scale notes are from was really helpful 9basic knowledge that everyone seems to skip over when talking about harmonics)) and all in all muh better thatn the first episode where you seemed to be on different pages

[@tward3928]

Fantastic lesson thanks Lee and Justin

[@drutgat2]

Great lesson. Thanks to Lee and Justin.

[@kentigern68]

Keep this coming. Bravo!

[@Lemmysfinger]

Superb teaching. I can see I’m going to learn a lot here.

[@sbadali1]

THIS IS ACE! Please keep this going!

[@joelflmartinho]

This was seriously some coool content.. This Rut Busters series rocks :)

[@Numb3r_47]

Love this colab! Both great channels!

[@petermarkovic8837]

Great stuff guys, please keep this series going :)

[@harryn4397]

Great lesson guys, great fun. 👍🏻😎

[@brocluno01]

Well done. Good lesson and cool note to have in your bag. Now I know a bit more of why ... This is a great addition to A-Tv and shows how to learn as well as teaching cool stuff. Can't beat that :)

[@0TheDudeHAHAHA0]

This series is really good!

[@hectorheath]

Love that LP

[@michaeldorrenbacher8977]

Fantastic lesson! Thanks so much!

[@J0nny61]

Another brilliant tutorial, thanks fellas

[@noodle845]

Justin is a legend 👍🎸

[@thebossandthebeestonstreet9493]

Fantastic lesson! Thank you

[@nickyp8708]

Great lesson 👍. I think a player of any level could learn from that one . Cheers

[@rodballou2713]

Please continue this series. The Captain stating his shortcomings as a player and Justin addressing them makes for a lesson that reaches me. I find myself trying to think my way to better playing. Just great stuff.

[@daviecampbell5215]

again great episode love this keep it up lads

[@Thirteen31Music]

Justin really is a great teacher.

[@jimmyowenmusic]

Amazing stuff as always! That intro Jam !! Lord =)

[@CFLDumpsters]
