This guy has to be the internet's most prolific guitar teacher. I've been learning from him for over a decade - for free! What a legend.

[@yeeyee2018]

Marty has him beat but this guy is pretty good too

[@brucechavez9535]

​@@yeeyee2018This guy is one of the Big 3 KZbin guitar tutor...I will put Carl Brown as Number 1, then this guy, Justin as Number 2 and Marty in Number 3...😂

[@baldbearded9601]

I absolutely LOVE the fact that you start the video by playing the song first !! Please always do that if not already done haha, because it allows us to simply copy what you do instead of watching the whole tutorial and this is a huge issues in many other videos ! THANK YOU !

[@maryroberts5877]

Ah Justin ... you were born to play all genres of guitar! Always a pleasure to hear you.

[@Ronno4691]

That darn chord after the chorus just before the line, "....lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die" doth elude me no more! Thank you, Justin - you're a gent.

[@dankenton]

I think that it's actually happening with a first fret mini-bar on the top 3 strings with the open D - the same Bb9 top chord tones. Why? Well first it's easier to play but there's also a hammer-on in there from Eb to F on the D string which would not work with the fingering Justin is using (minor 7 b5 shape).

Love it, back to the 70’s for me, far out, man!

You are a legend. You present lessons in such a way that I can follow along and actually make music. I love jazzy chords, but sometimes I can't quite reach so I modify. I still find it hard to believe that I'm make music.

[@parttroll1]

Great chops!

[@budandbean1]

Way to go Justin, this really takes me back, a l l the way back to high school. This is one of the first songs I actually learned with the first band I was in. 1976 and I was fifteen. We looked at the video of this for a solid week to try to learn the chords and we did! That was back when there was no internet to show you how to play songs... All the 9 chords, I think that's why anything 9 is my favorite chord...Ha! Great Lesson Justin!

[@behzadshababi]

🙏Thanks, you're awesome!

[@hansolo9316]

Don't be calling him that - are you saying he deliberately staged this lesson ?

[@KJusticeLEAGUE]

So talented!!!

[@catcutekitty]

wow, perfect - thanks for sharing sir Justin

[@AwjwJiminez]

Very nice!

[@stellapatton7700]

Wow amazing

[@gdiggs92]

Any chance you could do a tutorial on how to get a good funk tone out of your guitar/amp?

[@af2w131f]

I'd say get a good American Strat(if you have enough money) and change out the pick-ups. You can see his bridge pickup in this video has been changed out to some boutique humbucker type. Fender's pickups are noisy beasts that destroy the tone. Then second thing is get a nice amp. Amp and pickups are where the tone comes from, also of course you need some guitar skill but you already knew that!

[@tonykennedy8483]

He's playing a Suhr strat, it comes with the humbucker

[@SaxJockey]

@@tonykennedy8483 In the video of Wild Cherry playing this on KZbin, both guitarist have Les Pauls (Humbuckers). I somehow associate funk music with a Strat.

[@SaxJockey]

@John Smith Yes, even a basic Squier Standard and a modest Fender amp will do nicely.

[@ramseydawg]

Why is the E9 chord so fricken hard to play. My ring finger is genetically incapable of barring the first three strings and my middle finger keeps muffling the 4th string. I hate you Justin. Just kidding. Great video! Out of all the people making vids, this by far is one of the best.

[@nickarmage8311]

Little secret...play dom9 chords on the 4 inner strings (like he showed for the E9 in this tune) with all 4 fingers first and get the feel for that solid and then the ring finger will naturally start to lay flat (after 2000 times) and cover all 3 of the high strings freeing the pinky finger up to move up 2 more frets on the high E string. That fingering is all over jazz and blues tunes which is where I started.

[@sangrantes7073]

thanks master funk!

Never thought I’d say this, but I liked the ad. Curb!

[@1978jimi]

I really learned a lot`~~TKS~~

[@scootergreen3]

Great job Justin! Great sound and very funky. I have a new Tele with Medium Jumbo frets. I am used to the 1970s thin wire frets. It's harder to slide chords across the fretboard. Does your Strat have med-jumbos and have you had any problem with that at first? I guess you just get used to it right?

[@lwebber123]

love it... I'm not great at the amp settings... how can I get that tone with out any pedals....thanks

[@xtc1957]

"Suhr" did a nice job on that one, Justin. Thanks.

[@jadipeperzak4034]

Amp settings please!!! such a cool tone

[@lucagiorgini6357]

Hi ! Can you explain how to count it ? Excellent vídeo

[@mitchkincaid6680]

Please could you do "Blackbird" by Alter Bridge!!!

[@Fatstrat1079]

Justin, great lesson! Question: why not play the Bb9 on the 13th fret since your already playing the G9th on the 10th fret??
