[@luctremblay7901]

I'm not experienced enough to tell which of the tutorials have the most accurate chords, but yours for sure sounds the best, and most natural. Thank you and keep up the passion.

[@aaronmatulevich454]

That’s typical for him, he always brings the heat

[@pgiant9156]

Sometimes it's best not to have an exact copy of the studio version. You need a version that can work best on solo acoustic guitar

[@alandavies1976]

[@mr5039]

This one brought back some memories!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Yeah! Same here :)

[@khimaros]

Good times 👍

[@windrider65]

Fantastic lessons as always Justin. In my opinion you're the best guitar teacher on KZbin. Thank you for sharing everything with us. Take care of yourself and your family and stay safe and healthy. From Charlie in the States.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thank you Charlie! Wishing you all the very best. :)

[@safenders]

Yup he's the OG guitar teacher on KZbin.

[@rossiniogates]

I’ve watched his videos for a long time such a genuine nice dude Justin I have a few videos if you would have a watch and comment I’d love that haha

[@georgelasko8346]

Thanks Justin. I don’t know where I’d be without you with the progression in my guitar playing. We all appreciate your hard work in bringing these lessons to us.

[@ogidy001]

Outstanding Justin. I have played a heavily simplified version of this song for many years. This is inspiration to clean that up. The rhythm piece is super important. The D minor is lovely.

[@42icee]

I've been watching you for so long. I've bought some of your stuff. You truly are just an awesome person for sharing, caring, and just being you. Thank you!!!

[@francoiswildi8087]

I've been following you for about 10 years, enjoying every minute of it, looking at how your lessons evolve, how you evolve. I hardly ever made comments on youtube. But today I do have to make a comment. This lecture takes us to another level. The song itself, how you present it, your explanations, how your video is edited, your studio, the lighting, even the dog. Everything is just perfect!!! Congtratulations and thanks forever for making all those lessons and making them better and better

[@viciousspike9094]

been watching your Neil Young stuff and decided to stray away from the great Neil to learn some REM. your videos really pushed me to develop my picking and strumming together. I've become a much better guitarist because of you, Justin. Thank you so much. I was a beginner for years and I'm slowly starting to get better.

[@notabot649]

This is the first time in my life that I've been able to follow a guitar tutorial with 0 doubts and complications at the end. This guy does not complicate things, goes straight to the point and is very efficient with time. I am looking forward for more videos! Kudos to you!

[@johnroyce8355]

Wow! This is freaky...... only yesterday I decided to learn this song to put in my solo set after it came up on my Spotify playlist. Thanks Justin, perfect timing.

[@rayclark9643]

Very comprehensive and well done lesson, thanks Justin!

[@CARLOSVSCARLOS]

Dude, you’re the best guy out here to see when you want to learn a song in no time flat. Seriously great stuff, man.

[@dirkr.w.7563]

Fantastic recording, super sound❤️🔥 Thanks a lot

[@gtsipejr]

Justin, just an awesome lesson. I've heard you sing many times, and you really nailed it on this one! Thanks, GT

[@larrypower8659]

When I bought my mandolin, this was the first song I learned. That mandolin riff sets the whole mood. It’s awesome.

[@andreaberardi100]

Your voice is fantastic, i really like your covers

[@inayatsama6059]

Got lots of memories for this one man also great song by Great band, Love REM songs so much, thank you Justin for this good one 💯🤘🙏

[@jpbui]

Wow what a coincidence. I heard this song on the radio last week and wanted to learn it and wondered if you did a tutorial on it and what do I see on KZbin? You've just recently made it. Thanks again! Your rendition sounds great!

[@thomassawyer6523]

Spectacular as always Justin, a great song for the campfire with friends (or anywhere else)!

[@burhankocaslan4510]

you are still the greatest teacher out there Justin. Keep it up!

[@gratengelsker7614]

Great one Justin! Singing is on point as well!

[@edwardhammond9030]

Another great lesson Justin, thanks for posting

[@maryramos7615]

So awesome Justin!

[@fightfan6852]

Awesome stuff thx Justin!

[@billmoss2877]

Beautiful rendition and spot on performance.

[@anitazuck]

Awesome, as always, Justin! Thanks.

[@eamonno9]

One of the greatest songs of the 90s, thank you!

[@hmpsguitar]

I don’t know if you take requests, but there’s this song that has just really been a big part of my daily life the past year and helped me relax through all crap going on. Morning Dew by Matt Quentin. Love your videos Justin!

[@jamesmoon5632]

This is in the list of songs to learn. Thanks Justin

[@robkelman4704]

Wow you have a great voice Justin!

[@mayursonowal]

Great classic Justin!

[@domclarke8182]

First with all my life and now with losing my religion. The most accurate lessons on YT, good job sir 👏.

[@FilmFlam]

Great song. Thanks, Justin.

[@user-nn1es5ll6l]

I really like the way you sing the cord changes, I find this really helps me to learn the sound of the chords and playing the right chord becomes almost instinctive. Just one of the great methods of teaching you use. Keep up the good work Justin. 🎸🤟

[@dimitrifyodorovickaramazov]

Amazing lesson, thank you Justin

[@diffbreak2366]

Great lesson Justin! I always wondered when are you going to do this.

[@112productions]

Justin. You’re awesome!

[@mike.houston777]

Great lesson.

[@sliceofuke]

My very first guitar teacher in Chiswick, London. Thanks for getting me started on my amazing musical journey, Justin!

[@REVENANT-BR]

Você é incrível Justin, assim como essa música fantástica que jamais sera esquecida...

[@alanreid6526]

I love your teaching style

[@mikasaessucasa1910]

One of the best covers. Cool Voice

[@JCloyd-ys1fm]

Thanks for breaking down the strumming stuff. I was trying to play along with the track, and my rhythm was totally throwing everything off. Plus I couldn’t tell whether or nor there was a D minor after the F in the intro. I put this one on the shelf, but will watch this video a couple more times. Thx.

[@ianfleet2376]

Thanks Justin Brilliant as always

[@monicamartinez4604]

awsome justin

[@toonvermeulen5191]

amazing work justin, gonna check it out and try even though i’m a beginner

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Yes! Try this as a Developer kinda song :)

[@AmishFan]

Your voice as born for this song.

[@selenozan3580]

Fantastic!!!!

[@user-tx8uc3iw3w]

Great track ... Lovely sound off your foggy bottom .. I'd like to add one of those to my little collection at some stage .. Keep 'em coming J .. & we'll keep learning them 😎

[@sypex_gg]

amazing guitar tone

[@kathryneast6919]

Beautiful job

[@robnilapple]

Thanks!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks for the thanks 😊

[@jeromegigon6184]

I started learning guitar just to play this song, cause R. E.M. is my favorite band ever Thank you for this tutorial gentleman

[@daggad02]

A great lesson. First time on your channel here. You shine as a teacher, so enjoyable to follow your easy happy approach to learning guitar. It's all just about having fun right ? :) I usually just repeat the little mandolin part instead of Dm+G that I feel breaks the floating rythm a bit. But the bass walk on the Am was great and I adapted that in my version. This is the great thing about learning from each other. One can pick up little pieces that stay with us. And there is no right or wrong way to play guitar, only my way and your way.

[@raydelavega7457]

Classic Song!!! 🎶🎸🎶👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@russellnewton6660]

I can play this in a basic way,but this is another level. Sounds great.

[@anymoretime]

Fantastic

[@fabiogemelli]

You are just THE BEST and this "dog breaks" are just great! 😂 Thank you so much for this perfect tutorial!🎉

[@tuxster123]

Boss that Justin, thank you.❤

[@stephenwhitby]

Hi Justin, Can you please do a lesson on REM's "All the way to Reno"? Many thanks for all the work you put into this...helping me a lot with some stuff I don't or didn't know. Steve

[@mikeszkoo]

Amazing, thank you so much

[@RaffLagatta]

Omg I love that Ziggy joined in on the fun and you didn't chop him out of the video! So cute! We need more of his interruptions. 😂

[@NoJeansBob]

Cheers mate!

[@quars3528]

super precise.

[@user-uf7zq1ti5s]

Really helpful thoughtful video.

[@definitelynotapervert]

This is good, thanks

[@MrDoneboy]

Thanks Justin...I've a follower since 2008!

[@sudin97]

thank you very very much for this lesson

[@yousee66]

Great video...Love this song ❤ Was 24/25 back in '91. Good times! Then after '92 👎 Thanks for the lesson. It sounded amazing & say hi to your fur baby 😁

[@jamesmoon5632]

Best lesson on this song

[@mattbarkers9167]

Good sound

[@lazarzhezhov3493]

Justin best guitarists 🎸 ever. Am watching his videos regularly I learned a lot and I know am gonna learn mutch more from listening to him.

[@amypolonsky]

Thank you!!!

[@ogeidderoger9277]

Thank you very much ^^

[@politicoinutil]

You sing so well

[@kevinrichards1667]

Thats ace man

[@johnboyle2747]

Brilliant

[@solcik83]

Great tutorial. Thank you from the Czech Republic.

[@jorgeg390]

Nice!!!

[@flylippfantom8425]

You have the perfect voice

[@adamrajcarless8145]

Cheers man this was great, nailed it and loved Ziggy’s appearance 😊. Only thing I’d add in is the other mandolin part that links the consecutive verses which would cut short the G (think you can use the A minor chord shape hammering on and off to get it on guitar

[@thelonewolf8333]

Been listening to R.E.M on Spotify recently and I’ve only realised they have so many more amazing songs like Drive, Nightswimming, Imitation of Life, Sweetness Follows and many more gems. Such an underrated band!

[@zacdowland2802]

automatic for the people is a fantastic album, give it a listen!

[@raithrover1976]

It's a masterpiece and one of the greatest albums of the 90s imo. That said, Fables of the Reconstruction is currently my favourite REM album. I can just about play a passable version of Driver 8

[@johnfitzpatrick5404]

I was reasonably late to the R.E.M. party, only discovering them through a borrowed cassette of Green (still perhaps in my top 10 albums).

[@garethrice1266]

Super track this.

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

Nicky done Sir!☮️👍

[@andersonmello8042]

Muito bom, Justin. Uma canção que jamais sai de moda. Justin, ensine castles in the air-Don MacLean. Abraço irmão.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Abraços!

[@alongcamepolly11]

Hey, how did you do These Little Hammer-ons, especially on Am? Do you Hammer on when strumming the Chord or do you lift off (like pull off) when strumming the Chord? Sounds really great, but somehow I don‘t know how to do It. Thanks a Lot for All your work and greetings from Germany!

[@pvanhoeck8042]

Hi Justin, can you tell me what pickup you have in your guitar, the recorded sound is amazing. Are you running it through any special processing unit etc?

[@mastic5519]

This is awesome, and he kind of reminds me of Norm Macdonald.

[@HureA7A]

Good job Justin....nice song ,nice playing guitar......👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇩

[@eghii]

thank you.

[@charynwoodbridge1046]

Justin, would you consider making a lesson on Englishman in New York by Sting ?

[@josenoelzepeda4769]

Up. Thanks
