[@tobiasjohansson1534]

Love this! Just learned this song off of tabs but watching this lesson just makes it that much better

[@wouterten-haaf2991]

Tech has me stumped

[@Human-ks5rk]

Thank you so much for such wonderful lessons. I live in Russia, but I have loved country music since childhood. And now, at the age of 42, I'm finally playing Country Roads! You are great at explaining and teaching with heart! I wish you all the best, God bless you!

[@djibou37]

Country G take me D. That is my favourite part. Great lesson btw - as usual :) Thanks Justin!

[@rakehell404]

Favorite part: Chord sing-along. It never fails to make my laugh but I love it! I'm always impressed with your sophisticated teaching style. Many people can play, but few can play AND teach. Thanks so much for posting this video! Bought a package of your learning materials - book, DVD, etc - and they were fantastic!

[@Human-ks5rk]

Yes, the chord singing is something incredible! How cleverly it helps to memorise everything in the lesson.

[@sean3994]

The Alternating Bass really makes this song mesmerising, I could sit and play this one for hours - it's like therapy.

[@srm8866]

John Denver was one of my favorite guitarist and music performers of the time. Still play his music to this day, and I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the day it was announced over the radio that his plane had gone down and he had died. Would love to see you cover more of John Denver's songs. Cool video, thanks. Cheers,

[@Sean_Farmer]

This song came out when I was 3 yrs old and by the time I was 5, it was my favorite. I used to sing it with my mom and had close family friends with teenagers who played this on guitar. It actually led me to get my first guitar. It will always have a special place in my heart.

[@kjohn5224]

I've been watching you for something like 17 years now. Time flies. You're great Justin, an amazing guitar player and a good human.

[@taiter]

Thank you Justin! The way you start by demonstrating the simplest version and then later on showing a more advanced version is such a great way to learn

[@davidzachar5145]

We can't be thankful enough for what you are doing here and teaching us how to play songs on guitar. I just started learning from you and Marty Schwartz! You guys are awsome!

[@gtsipejr]

Ok, Justin hits it out-of-the-park again. Great song and way to play it. Nice way to spice up strumming with base note-strumming plus hammer-on picking.

[@windrider65]

I've already learned this and play it with old faithful, but the little extras at the end of the lesson is what I needed to take it to the next level. Thank you for another fantastic lesson Justin. If you can't feel it you'll never play it good. Thank you for all you do for us. Take care of yourself and your family Justin. From Charlie in the States.

[@Cranbearry_YouTube]

This is absolutely PERFECT for me because I play piano, but I'm trying to branch out. So I've taken up singing lessons, and I'm learning guitar from you! But for singing I'm learning this song! So I could learn this, and sing along!

[@themadplotter]

I just realised I love this man twice, I can play songs I gave up years ago and he looks like the late and very great Norm Macdonald.

[@kevinkeener]

My favorite part of Justin's awesome tutorials is when he uses the chords for lyrics. It's very practical, yet it always draws a laugh out of me.

[@sun29datta]

Life is G there ... Em than the Em

[@campbelldaniel58]

Hit C like a G, baby. 😂 Love it. If he doesn’t have a video, I don’t learn the song on KZbin.

[@madisongraham9307]

Very nice… my wife and I got to see John Denver perform 3 times in the 80s - once at Red Rocks and at park in Denver Colorado…got to say hello at the park concert as leaving… to his staff he was most worried that someone had grabbed his guitar for ride home! Thanks for the great lesson.

[@stevehughes240]

Such a great guitar mentor- I just love the fact that you always cater to developing your technique. Invaluable. Thank you so much!

[@peterhamer1572]

As always, Justin. bloody great lesson. This was one of my have-to-learn songs back about 10 years ago. You teach it so well. Thanks, mate.

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

Justin, you share your talents here so others can become better guitar players. Love and Respect

[@sebbastiantalom5803]

Visit ur channel after 5 years... How u doin' justin ? I Used to learn from ur channel n now I'm the lead guitarist of my band n all credit goes to u.. U've been a guide through my whole musical journey.. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏

[@madisongraham9307]

Justin- very nice and great tribute to John Denver. Was fortunate to see him live three times. He is sorely missed. Great video- cheers from Austin Tx- live music capital of the world.

[@dnanoodle]

What an astounding teacher you are, Justin. You make this stuff so very approachable.

[@LAWRENCIO11]

Always nice to see a new lesson, especially when it’s a John Denver song! ‘This Old Guitar’ would be a nice song to have a lesson on next ;)

[@dawnfoxmusic855]

Ive been listening to this song just for a few days and all of a sudden i see this video like a blessing ❤️

[@stipeboban1766]

My grandfathers favourite song… he passed away few months ago… thank you for this tutorial, it brings back memories! Thank you Justin!

[@Q8sanjoob]

Mad respect for keeping it up all these years.

[@joshuabeebee3324]

Been learning guitar just off KZbin from people like this good man Justin. Searched this song and see the video only got released 13 days ago. much love cheers!

[@fuerszler]

Loving this, thank you, Justin! The hammer technique on verses and then mixing it up during chorus and bridge with old faithful makes it really fun. Beautiful song!

[@dogsareboss]

Thanks for being a total legend, Justin! I've just popped this one into my repertoire. X

[@lauracorzo7403]

I Am a shower singer and I never was able to learn more Than the typicall chords (in Spain we call them something like the "Scout boys songs chords") , but... I Love it. Thanks for Your lessons, they make me very happy. Kisses from Barcelona.

[@Cbermeo75]

Justin bringing down the hammer 🔨!!

[@batman48195]

Great Lesson as alway Justin. Thank you!

[@jonathanreyes114]

Just the song i need! Justin make my days

[@MustafaBaabad]

It is extremely important that you sing while playing the guitar so that we know when to change chord. Thank you very much!

[@runderwood1201]

i love it man! the guitar part is easy for me, but im just now trying to learn to sing and play at the same time, and this seems like a good song to start. It's great to be able to start out really simply and slowly make the guitar part harder. Keep rockin Justin!

[@MustafaBaabad]

Surely I enjoy the lesson. I am impressed with your way of strumming and your patience to explain it. Thank you. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@johnsmith-lb4mo]

Great song Justin, i play with my fingers but i guess i really should practice with a pick...thankyou for the lesson.

[@adaltroczguitar]

Great song and great opportunity to practice different strumming patterns! Great lesson as always! Have a nice day!

[@jeff.dev.insights]

Great lesson Justin!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@sbslowlife4763]

Thank you Justin I have been waiting for this song from you for years

[@jameslovesey1758]

Awesome as always, Justin. Your singing has really come on loads, as well!

[@theclassicrock8644]

nice feel and rhythams.loved your song to play on the guiter.thanks a lot for the lesson.

[@rakesh5870]

Justin , u r awesome. One of the best teachers of guitar 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@the_door_opener2622]

Ooh, this is very exciting! I’ve only been playin for 5 months, so most of the songs I’ve learned have been from KZbin tutorials. Country Roads is one of the few I’ve taught myself by ear, and I’ve been playing it for about 6 weeks now. After playing it myself for a while, I’m interested to see how you recommend I improve my technique in his video!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

That's awesome! Enjoy - hope you learn something cool :)

[@daved7231]

Justin is the best. I’ve learned a lot over the yrs

[@larsfrommars1378]

Daaaamn, Justin is a great singer, proven once again

[@merliphlan2]

Yeah ! Love this song so much ! Thanks Justin ! From France ^^

[@RichGuitarWissen]

The Pretty Country Roads...I Like it very much. Thank you for the phantastic Tutorial

[@Nate_doggy_dawg]

For the last “yesterday” in the bridge I think it sounds great to play a Dsus4.

[@soaringeagle5227]

I bet Justin can make a kick-ass video lesson on Hard Luck Woman by Kiss arranged for one acoustic guitar 😉

[@gratengelsker7614]

Great vocals as well on this one!

[@inayatsama6059]

[@nixternal]

Oooh, I really need to revisit this. This was my 1st F chord song in 2019 :) I've been doing some Bluegrass studies and I love this song. Great lesson as usual!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Rock on!

[@sophie8243]

I love this song you are so talented guitarist amazing 🤗🎸

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

That is very kind! Enjoy :)

[@GBakerish]

Thanks 🙏

[@gregoryariel2431]

Well done mate respect from the 🇺🇸

[@TheAlanSaunders]

Thank you Justin, even though it is extremely American oriented I like this song. Almost every song that ever wanted to learn included the 'F' chord, an incentive to learn it! I was once accused of looking like John Denver (nerdy, shoulder length hair and glasses) by a guy who was trying to form an ad-hoc band. As a fellow aviator I was particularly saddened by his death aged 53 in a careless, totally avoidable, possibly survivable ditching. BTW, Whilst your guitar and singing is nicely reproduced, for some time now your speech semms 'clipped', like you are a long way from the microphone.

[@jatunkari9292]

I think it's fine, it's easy, I'll do it, regards

[@luizfigobr]

Great teacher

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thank you! 😃

[@ChrisMoewesBystrom]

Great lesson. This is the first song my 11 year old and I learned together. I was hoping for maybe some alternate chord voicings (maybe a short on this??? ) This seems like a good place to have one guitar capoed and playing same chords in a different position?

[@rhythmaich3940]

If you are a beginner like me and haven't yet learned the F chord, you can try replacing the only F chord in the bridge with an Aminor. Sounds almost similar to me.

[@pauleskine]

Try playing an F major 7 or an F over C - these are great work arounds. ✌🏽

[@user-qe6nc7ud6h]

Top Best. Good job

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thank you :) Cheers!

[@MrWongle]

Wish the app included links to the relevant KZbin videos.

[@TheGreatSpl00ge]

Ayyy!

[@CallMeBigWorm]

Is it just me... or is anybody else getting Stewie from family guy vibes when he is singing out the chords?? 😆 but good lesson tho. Thank you for taking the time to break it down. First time I actually bothered learning to play this song. I never knew it was this easy. I really enjoyed learning it.

[@markbowerman7554]

Ah totally get the stewie thing when singing chords!

[@CallMeBigWorm]

@@markbowerman7554 I honestly didnt think it would be that helpful trying to learn a song but it is a funny way of realizing it and relating it to learning.

[@oldviking2873]

Can you add whole cover at the end of the video? There was few songs that was made this way

[@nemuccio1]

Hi, great tutorials :). I wanted to know what model your guitar is, thanks.

[@linsentunes]

Dang Justin! Have you been talking vocal lessons? Sounds great man!

[@Richardclarkson7819]

Hey Justin... How long is the free trial and what is the cost after the trial is over? can the lessions be on a computer rather than a phone. I'm having a hard time finding the link on my android phone and don't know the name of the file to search it in the playstore.

[@Buck-ti9wd]

Please make a video on Hank Williams Jr. Family Tradition!!!

Very nice!
