When it comes to questions about your setup and work, I'd like to know what you do yourself, how many employers you have and what they do, what computers you use and what software you use.

[@David0Perez0]

Hi Justin . The video about the setup and software you use will be interesting but I really would like to know what you think about amp modellers (headrush prime and so on) and if you think they can be an alternative to have different guitars. I love you keep the passion

[@hrishimittal]

Love your channel and website, Justin. You are the best!

[@rocky83ify]

Thanks Justin. You‘ve been the cornerstone of my guitar journey. Great knowledge, lovely guy. Keep up the good work! 😀👍🥳😊

[@franklee1205]

👍👍 Thank you , my friend😌 ! ( Justin) you were...🤔Definitely one of the first online guitarist that Was out there that really helped me learn one of first songs through detailed close up instructions, with bright clear lighting, for those that were there in the early days, ...🤔 of the on online podcasting movement , everyone wanted to 'show "their stuff". ...(despite bad lighting, and unedited material , and sometimes, people that wanted to help 🤔...but skill set was not totally "With it" .So what happened as a beginner is that you learn a little but, the little bit was not so accurate... Justin's skill level was fun and well above average. ( my skill set being average😂)... , he helped take me ( a long with a few personal instructors) to a higher level ... DEFINITELY grateful and Appreciative of that ,"Era" of online guitar instruction or online school of guitar 🙏😌! ....🤔....At least for me there are five to seven people , just a hand full, that have "made" online guitar "boom" Justin and his unique stile is definitely one of the original "Pioneers" of what has become a great movement 😉an area that is VERY saturated NOW. ... IN terms of all things guitar and music appreciation, .. ...🤔of course Rick Beato (Pioneer), and... there are a few relatively "New guys" on the block, so to speak, that have really "dialed in" on the particulars of getting things "Tight" 😅, the teaching well, of learning a song.... but pure guitar instruction of a particular song or stile Justin was my "go to". ...then and still is today in my handful of go-tos on guitar instruction ✌️💖☺️🙏

[@steveunderwood8121]

Such a legend. You helped me get through my divorce 10 years ago. The only place I could find the best guitar teacher living in sleepy Gaborone, Botswana. Still playing to this day, only a 4 chord strummer but brings so much joy to my life. Thank you Justin for all you have given to me and thousands of guitar players around the world.

[@simontemplar3359]

It was 20 years ago today, when Justin taught the lads to play! This could easily turn into a Sgt. Pepper thing here, but that's not important. What is important is: congratulations! You rock! And thanks for sharing your knowledge and kind spirit with us all!

[@OregonBreault]

I tried most of the online courses, and it was Justin that was a life changer for me. Patient instructions, enduring humility, combining life lessons with guitar…..it’s been a 2-year journey and I can never be more grateful for Justin sharing his passion and life with us - so we can join in the journey and share in that passion. Wonderful.

[@perryd6761]

Congratulations on your 20 years of giving. You are a great person who deserves all of God's blessing. Looking forward to the next 20 years.

[@brandonklerer5859]

Justin! Thought I'd share my story - I started playing guitar just under 10 years ago at 18 when I had quit the sport I spent my life pursuing. I ended up going through just about every course/lesson you had and fell deeply in love with the guitar. I ended up quitting my job and attending music school. I now teach guitar full time for a living and actively gig in a couple different bands. Thanks for everything - you truly changed my life!

[@albietzaesthetics1064]

That’s so awesome, I wanna find my thing in life like that so bad…. I’ve started guitar about 4 months ago

[@yavorcho]

Justin, you are a true trailblazer. That rare combination of great personality, proficiency, talent and dedication is the reason why many thousands of people chose you for their guitar journey. Congrats and thank you!

[@YskarAlbumLuna]

Yeah, he's like the best teacher in the world. There's no way.

[@JonnyKaine]

greatest guitar teacher of all time. thanks for all of your videos man.

[@johnlocke7097]

I think you hide your light under a bushel, you may not be a headliner and always in the news but you are an insider that is known by just about anyone in the music world. Well done you deserve to have what you have. Keep it up and Thank you.

[@BigGary79]

Thank you, Justin. Congratulations on all your success. You've changed the world for the better.

[@bryan_che]

Thank you Justin, this guy from Uganda got his lessons from you at no cost, i am eternally grateful

[@bodge6886]

Several years ago I was still strumming open chords and then I found Justin Guitar from a guy I was teaching basic strumming patterns and I found your teaching style really useful and as a result I expanded my skills to actually playing “impossible” bar chords and yes I got your books. At 67 I do struggle with memory but playing keeps my brain working. So thanks for the new skills and the very many lessons👍

[@davidadkins2563]

It was 20 years ago today,,Justin guitar started to play..KZbin was not in style. But online lessons brought a smile..so may I introduce to you,, the guitar teacher you have know for all these years..the one and only Justin Sandercoe…..dun dun dun

[@brandonfleming4183]

Thank you so much Justin! My guitar skills greatly improved once I joined your website and watched your lessons. Thanks for being a great teacher and for everything that you and your team do!

[@jasoncullen2067]

I started watching your videos 17 years ago. I’ve had the honor of a Skype conversation with you after learning “Page 99”. I’ve learned so so much from you. You are my guitar teacher and you always will be. Here’s to 20 more years!! ❤🎸🔥

[@martynspooner5822]

Justin is definitely one of the gooduns, he has been a great benefit to guitar players everywhere and I couldn't evenguess how many people he has taught to play. Thanks for it all.

[@kls8705]

I'm a music educator in the US, and your videos have been immensely helpful to me when I had to begin teaching group guitar to 8th grade students. I'm primarily a concert band director who also has to teach general music classes. Guitar was one instrument I had to teach myself and I stumbled across your lessons. SO THANKFUL for your series! It's fantastic and accessible for all ages. You're a natural teacher!

[@robocop6444]

Your content is fresh, enthusiasm is pure. The impact and influence you have had on people over 20 years could never be measured. Top, top man.

[@alexbillings7623]

Hi Justin, this is my first time commenting on one of your videos. I have been following you since about 2010 when I learned how to play Silent Night for my grandma. I’ve learned so much from you over the last decade and even though my guitar playing has taken a back seat in the last few years I still enjoy checking out your new videos. I signed up for the monthly PayPal donations in about 2015 and I would encourage others to do the same, if they are fortunate enough to be able to afford it. Buying this guy a beer every month is worth it :) here’s to the next decade man, keep up the good work.

[@cycomiles4225]

Justin, thank you for everything you do. Even though I only play for myself in my bedroom, you have brought me so much joy.

[@tomasromeiro2985]

Justin mate, a big thank you from someone who first picked up a guitar at 18, 14 years ago, by watching your original beginners course and all that you've put out after that. The importance this instrument has had in my life is beyond quantifiable. I've moved from Portugal to the UK quite a few years ago (London, recognise many of the places you've mentioned in this video!) and I have made so many great friends through music and guitar here. I can't imagine what my life would have been without it. Again, a massive thank you mate! Here's to another 20 years 🍻 and hope you eventually organise some sort of London Justinguitar meetup, I owe you a good pint at least!

[@rg65box]

Thanks for your dedication to teaching. I’ve followed you for years and have learned many good lessons! - Florida Man.

[@chazlevine1468]

Justin- You, along with Marty Schwartz, are my main two teachers when I fhink of a song I want to learn. My main focus and goal is I plan to have more time for my personal hobbies. I will be playing more guitar, and you my friend will always be one of my great teachers. Thank you for all you do for this vibrant community.

[@patgleeson1934]

Teaching is a vocation. You obviously found your vocation early in life. You make it fun, you make it logical and sensible and you encourage. What do they say, 'if you are doing what you love then it isn't work' or something along those lines. Congrats on 20 years and keep doing what you love!

[@samstring6827]

I myself have been following Justin for around 10 years now. I have made a lot of progress now and I am as good as non professional ho hobiest guitar players can get. A lot of what I know in guitar I owe it to him. Thank you Justin. Keep inspiring.

[@everythingpotatoversion1201]

I started playing guitar at the age of 15, 2010 ... You sir and Marty are online guitar teachers since then .. thank you very much sir... never stop teaching us ..

[@niceman8815]

Its quite strange to acknowledge the fact that I have been recommending your website & KZbin videos to budding musicians for almost 20 years now . . . heres to another 20!!🍻cheers Justin!!

[@tesm_jsf]

Wow he’s been teaching for my entire life 😅I started playing with your courses in Sept 2021 I still play everyday and I am forever grateful for your lessons! Thank you Justin!

[@Potatofella]

[@anthonystark5412]

Congratulations to one of the best teachers on the planet!

[@saglave]

Just donated after watching this video till the end. Justin helped me learn when I could not have paid much for guitar lessons. Thank you for being the humble, kind, and giving person you are.

[@jamesgibson3557]

I gotta say. I've watched you from day one, I'll never have your skills but you've taught me so much. America loves ya brother. Here's to another 20

[@paulcote9988]

Thank you Justin for all you’ve done and continue to do!

[@fdnieves]

Justin! I’ve been using your App for about 2 months now. All I have to say is that using it is like having the greatest teacher at your home. I can feel your love for the music and that’s so hard to achieve through an app. Thank you for creating this, it has a great impact in the world and people like you deserve the paradise.

[@SunshineSmiles189]

Justin, you have changed so many lives with your excellent teaching ability and your positive attitude! I recommend your videos to literally anyone learning guitar. I watch your videos and I your books are so well-organized and easy to follow. I can say without the tiniest bit of doubt that learning guitar has been one of the most joyful experiences of my entire life and JustinGuitar has played a huge role in that! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

[@julessanchez9216]

Justin, your life journey is truly inspiring. Congratulations for your courage to endure the trials along the way. You come across as a very caring and devoted person in all the things that you have learned along life's path. I have only been learning guitar for a few years and as I came upon your videos I felt that you were the cream of the crop !! The best to you in your future !!

[@CarolynAnnVaughanRN]

I have always been impressed by how generous you have been with your teaching - bless your heart

[@martinpicker1773]

Justin, I've watched a lot of guitar teachers on KZbin but you are THE BEST. And I've played guitar for 50 years. Thanks and keep up the great work. Billy. USA

[@OK-Satori]

It's really cool seeing this twenty year introspective. Great musician, excellent teacher, and seems to genuinely be a good guy.

[@stevedecker1166]

Thank you, Justin! I'm so grateful for all you've done.

[@annanikia7949]

These old videos are so adorable! Thanks for sharing!

[@keeganthambiran1375]

Thank you my teacher. Congratulations on all you've achieved over these 20 years. Your lessons were and still are invaluable to me❤👊🏽

[@John_2Much_Coffee]

Congratulations Justin. Thank you for all your lessons. Must feel amazing helping all the people around the world learn guitar. Thank you and Cheers from Canada

[@MrMastera]

Can't believe how time flies. I bought a guitar some 11 years ago and I've always learned from you. So a big THANK YOU for all your efforts and for being the wonderful teacher, guitarist and person that you are.

[@MarcoZaniRovereto]

My first guitar teacher ! By following your basic lessons I learned that I could learn even at 52 years of age .... :-) Grazie di tutto.

[@negatto]

Thank you for reminiscing with all of us and talking through all of the years and wonderful memories. No one is doing this KZbin thing any better than you. I'm here for as long as you want to keep doing this. Cheers Mate.

[@astrofire68]

Thank you Justin. 7 months in to my lessons and loving it. Your appeal to me is (a) your ability to deconstruct a lesson and deliver it in the perfect sequence to incrementally build capability, (b) you’re sense of humour and (c) your humility. A true master doesn’t need to tell everyone they are, they just are…and that’s you. Looking forward to many more years on this journey with you. Bless you and your family. 🤓👍

[@baynesstreetblues]

Definitely your superpower Justin - breaking things down and explaining things simply. I really enjoyed this 20 year review. You have definitely made a huge difference to many aspiring guitarists lives, and that is as good an accolade that you could wish for. Many thanks. 🎉🎉🎉

[@SillyMonkeys]

[@OwenManuela]

Gee Justin I can't believe 20 yrs have gone by, I was there at the beginning of your channel, and along the way got lost. Belated congrats on being the best at what you do and the help of your lessons in my progress as a guitar player.Onto the next 20 yrs.

[@kwu2242]

Thanks for all that you do! Your labor of love is much appreciated!!!

[@ishimurabeats6108]

Oh boy. What a ride this was. I think you can't even imagine what joy you already brought to a lot of musicians. You're like the Bob Ross of guitar playing

[@crunchchannel8788]

I really like this description. Yes, that is how I see him. Like a Bob Ross. I have learnt so much from him.

[@ShellChelby-wc7qz]

Oh yes. Bob Ross of the guitar world. 🤗🤗

[@davidhills389]

Congratulations, Justin. I picked up the guitar 16 years ago and found you on KZbin very quickly. You have been my tutor and guide for a decade and a half. Thank you. Keep on keepin’ on!

[@eamonmac2751]

You’re the reason I kept learning. Best teacher on the web. Thanks for the last 20 years.

One of the best on the internet and You Tube! I have followed you for years and recommended your lessons to many new guitar players over the years. Excellent teaching skills, positive spirit, enthusiasm, and high quality videos….. congratulations on 20 years!

[@paullanglois3768]

Congratulations Justin. Thanks for everything. Best of luck for the next 20!

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

Congrats Justin on 20 years! And thanks for what you are doing. On to the next 20 years!!!

[@xxxxneoxxxx]

Justin, I found you like 15 years ago; you've helped me in a way beyond imaginable both to improve my English, learn more about music theory and of course, learn to play the guitar and find my voice within the instrument. I thank you and I honour you for the work you have done helping so many people across the world to learn guitar along these 20 years. Muchas gracias! Much love from Peru!!!

[@jameslabs1]

Justin, Congratulations, thank you so much, God bless, and I wish you peace and prosperity. I started watching around 16 years ago. You and Marty were ahead of everybody.

[@walkerhjones]

Been with you and Marty the whole time! Congrats on Anniversary, look forward to next 20 years. Thank You!!

[@duncanrose7985]

Amazing contribution to the community of folk wanting to learn how to play guitar. Thankyou, congratulations and looking forward to learning with you. From a 52yr old fat fingered Les Paul lover 🇦🇺

[@jaghond2]

justinguitar felt like a goldmine when I discovered it for the first time, I feel lucky to have had this resource when I started out. I still don't understand how you have managed to keep your content free, but it has benefited countless youngsters starting out on their guitars who really cannot afford to pay for classes. You are an absolute legend, and my personal hero.

[@jakejohns7987]

You're a great guitar teacher, helped me out loads over the years. Thanks for all your lessons.

[@vancouverboy72]

Congratulations and thanks so much. I've watched your videos on and off again for most of that time. I haven't been able to quit my day job to play guitar, but I've always enjoyed your content and I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. I eagerly await your new blues content.

[@EvgeniyNeutralMusician]

Congratilations, Justin! You are definately one of the best guitar guys.

[@merkyh2o]

Congratulations! Keep up the great work. Heres to another 20.

[@vikashchandra9917]

One of the greatest human beings on the planet! You're a legend Justin!

[@theycallmeglen]

Congrats Justin! So well deserved, thanks for being an awesome teacher!

[@pauldbrown1010]

Lovely update Justin. I watch a lot of KZbin lessons, and ultimately if I don't come to like the personality of the human being in front of you, I stop watching, irrespective of the content. Your enthusiasm and well, humility ie not subtly showing off in the lesson, is what we return for. Love your work 👏👏👍👍.

[@williamfloyd9024]

After several failed attempts at picking up guitar your beginner module is what helped my finally stick with it! Happily playing guitar 9 years later and better than I ever thought I’d be! I’ve told so many people over the years to use your beginner course and will continue to do so. Thank you so much

[@immagic1]

Congratulions Justin. I appreciate all of your hard work and enjoy the next 20. Best of luck

[@thomascaldwell6751]

Congratulations Justin! Not just a fantastic teacher but a fine gentleman

[@richgray5762]

Congratulations. Many happy returns.

[@simonbarnes507]

Justin I can not thank you enough for all the hard work and time you have spent helping people like me.I first found your website 12 years ago and watched so many videos you have helped me for fill a promise I made to my uncle 48 years ago he said he would buy me a guitar if I learned how to play it I can not thank you enough cheers can’t wait for the next 20 or so

[@moboei]

Congratulations JS. And Thankyou

[@RussDeLong]

Congratulations on 20 years!! I'm another that wouldn't be headed on this journey if not for your teaching. Enjoy the next 20+ years!

[@Gustralia]

Great to hear your story Justin. Love your tutorials and you are far too modest about your ability! Congratulations on the 20 year anniversary. We are lucky to have you share your talents with us. Best Wishes from all your fans and down under here in Australia.

[@jtroutt19]

Your system has helped me so much justin! Its been amazing. I tried to use tyler larson guitar super system a couple years ago. But he talks about his formal education in music so much as well as all his friends formal education and it gets super discouraging for me. My mind is like all these formally trained musicians how will i ever be near their level. You system is not like that. I appreciate you very much!

[@MKRumble91]

Absolutely love 'We Came As Strangers'. My daughter and I even did a cover of one the songs from your early stuff. Your constant enthand artistry has been an inspiration for years!

[@pietroswing]

Grazie Justin! I use every day your “student record” pdf in order to keep track of lessons with my students. I am grateful of your work. Your positive attitude is gold

[@timlock]

Been with you almost the whole way. I still have one of your original song books from your website. So stoked to see you still on top of your game. Here's to another 20 years!

[@GS-vb3zn]

Congrats, Justin! You've been a great help to me over the years... AND I have been coming 'round here for many, many years, Cheers.

[@hedleytimbs]

Good man Justin! A quick 20 yrs! Back in the day your website and then your books and DVD courses really helped me and my mates here in NZ.

[@30farms70]

Congratulations. I’ve been subscribed to your course for about a month and have learned ton. Thanks.

[@cornett0]

Thank you Justin for your time over the years producing high quality content... I'm sure the majority of guitarists in the world have learnt a few things from yourself and your channel. Keep up the good work

[@michaelp8856]

Dog walks and guitar talks - yes, i'd luv for you to do more of that. i really seemed to grow in learning from you after watching that series. i felt humbled that you would share yourself in a personal way.

[@thushankathimira9587]

Thanks for your service!❤🎉 cheers for another awesome 20 years of teaching!!

[@katie.loxo144]

Amazing! Congrats! Happy 20 years, Justin!! I've been following your lessons since about 2014 🎸 ❤

[@paulkennelly5604]

Justin. Thanks for gentle approach and dedication. The world's a better place with you in it. 😊

[@ShellChelby-wc7qz]

Loved this. Thank you Justin. I will certainly be with you for many years to come. You are lovely and yes, an excellent teacher. The best teachers know exactly how to break the learning down into chunks, sequence them to achieve the end goal and explain each step at the student level. That's you. Lockdown turned out quite well for me too. I enjoyed working from home but realised that I enjoyed my guitars, my other hobbies and just being at home (oh and spending more time with my husband of course! 😁) so much more. When I had to go back to work I resigned and took very early retirement! So now I spend even more time with you. Am working my way through your blues course so looking forward to seeing how you revamp it. I'd like to see a video on the process of making a lesson from the first sketching it out through recording and to uploading and more musings as you walk the dog. Congrats on 20 years. You're looking good kid! 😉 xxx

[@hoisin75]

Thanks Justin - there are a lot of great guitar teachers on here and you’ve taught me the most
