"The Captain's Privates" Lesson #1! Lee's private guitar lessons with Justin!

See related lessons, links etc on the website: www.justinguitar.com/modules/...
Lee needed some 1 on 1 lesson to help get him back on track and he's cool with us streaming it, so here we go :) I'm hoping that many people will find they need to work on similar things and perhaps teachers might get some ideas on improving their private lesson stratergy or new ideas.

[@berniegilder]

Lee please don't be embarrassed. You're my hero for putting yourself out there!

[@MrPoilleke]

I agree with you Guys but felt the same today as I got my first classical guitar lesson hmm

[@lancelotlink6545]

I've heard Lee play plenty of times and really admire his playing style. He has good sense of melody and doesn't overplay. I found this inspiring to know that even guys like Lee can struggle to learn something new. It makes me want to learn some new techniques too. Thanks Lee.

[@johnnygault365]

Defo Lee.....we're quite similar in the fact that we're around the same age and been playing the same This last year through youtube I started learning and applying theory Keep at it man .....I've been busking the minor pentatonic for 20 odd years but once it starts making sense the more you want to know and you can see how things are related ....Once you nail the modes of the major scale you'll be that daft 80's robot who always needs more input Rick Beatos channel literally changed my life ...amongst others Good on you for bearing all on here Long time follower ...love you're content

[@geusseppegonzalezcardenas5782]

@@johnnygault365 Another Beato fan here. The guy´s a genius.

[@johnnygault365]

Geusseppe González Cárdenas Indeed I’d love to have a weeks worth of lessons from him I’ve been trying like mad to understand jazz properly Been listening to Zappa since I was about 12 years old Loved it but never really understood it Slowly getting there

[@charlesbeckerson7081]

Lee is one of the reasons I learned electric guitar. He was in the sixth form when I was in the 2nd year and I really wanted to play sunshine of your love like he did in the school concert!

[@Hussmannog]

Lee, I'm with you......been playing the guitar averagely for 30 yrs, and I'm now trying to learn "down, up, down, up"......let's stick with it!

[@SixString_J5]

Been playing for 20 years and I took lessons when I first started but only on a beginner level. I started structured lessons 6 months ago and I've learned more guitar/ music information literally in the last 6 months taking lessons than I have my entire life. Keep at it and if you can make time and find a good teacher, take structured lessons

[@1066wastrel]

back after a 20 year break Brett, I`m with you, average (on my best day 20 years ago) but now with the `net` & a new guitar I`m hoping for big things, this has come along at exactly the right time for me!

[@RNAMusic]

When Lee talks about being embarrassed by having to go so slow... I remember feeling like an idiot in college spending about 2 hours on 4 measures of music. I walked home feeling like a failure. The next day my instructor said "yeah that's what you have to do Ryan. This is really hard music." I thought I was a failure.... turns out that's how everyone has to practice that piece. It was a paradigm shift in my mind about what it takes to learn anything correctly. Never feel embarrassed for having to go slow!

[@imsothemanXD]

RNA MUSIC weird this is the first comment I read thinking the same and my names also ryan.

[@grahamcooper2144]

I really feel for Lee here. It must be very frustrating for him being so associated with guitar via the whole Andertons thing and yet feeling he's not as accomplished a guitar player as he feels he should be. Thing is... I would absolutely kill for his vibrato technique. It's immense. Thanks to that, he certainly has a very musical and articulate 'voice' when he plays lead lines. He's waaay better than he gives himself credit for. I guess sitting in so regulalry with guys like Rob Chapman and Pete Honore would make anybody feel somehow 'less' (totally silly of course) but understandable. But again - whenever I watch an Anderton video I'm never thinking 'Gawd... Lee is shit'. My impression is he's just as musical as they are, given his comparatively smaller palette of riffs etc compared to the other guys. He definitely 'fits' jamming with either of them. It's by no means a competition anyway and he's certainly a really good player already. My ears tell me that. I admire that he wants to get even better than he already is. And Justin is the THE guy to help him get there. More power to your elbow Lee.

[@ullerman002]

Exactly my thought! And Also his rythm playing isn't bad at all!

[@grahamcooper2144]

You're right. Really good. There's no click or drum when he's playing at on Anderton vids - yet he's lock-tight. As I said, he's already a very tasty. player.

[@ullerman002]

Yeah it's impressive. And his tone is seriously never bad o.o

[@gkf9]

I'd be very happy if I could jam like Lee!

[@VincesWoodNWonders]

And I can see that he has grown as a player over the years! Plus having a family and running that store... it is just priorities and it appears he does very well working to be a better player. He is a brave guy to get out there taking lessons to improve guitar playing on the web.

[@mattrgee]

Justin's tips and advice are absolutely golden! You could pay good money for a number of lessons and not hear such important information. Justin has refined the art of teaching guitar and knows the exact information a pupil needs to succeed. Thank you Justin, you've allowed me and many others to learn an instrument to a level I never expected to reach.

[@whiskersb5296]

Matthew Gee Justin is the best teacher in the world.

[@sc5759]

One of the best guitar videos I've seen in a long time. Justin is a great teacher and hats off to Lee for putting this out with him. Can't wait to watch more videos in this series. Class acts from both of these guys!

[@jindyhorses6970]

I think this series will be really valuable for both aspiring teachers and students. I hope the reception is strong enough, and you both have the time, to continue it to some logical conclusion. I don't think there's anything like it available elsewhere. Martin Miller posted a couple of lessons but that's about it.

[@sambenton45]

I've been doing Justin's programs for a couple years and I think this is a great addition.

[@MrBikboi]

Justin I absolutely love this, what a great idea. I'm in my 20's and about a year and a half ago I got an overwhelming urge to pick up guitar. I took some lessons on guitar and bass as a kid but never took it seriously. I've branched off in many different directions, but your free lesson structure was such a treasure, it's certainly overwhelming trying to teach yourself and to have that anchor and to be able to nail down fundamentals with your lessons was phenomenal and not intimidating. Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart. As well as Lee and the Andertons crew, big fan of the channel.

[@nateshewell6509]

I freaking love this! These two gentlemen have been a massive part of my guitar journey.

[@christopherburnett1745]

I'm seriously considering rewatching this and writing down Justin's tips. This is the first time I've heard a solid explanation of why economy picking can be a hindrance. Down, up, down, up... wish I'd started this years earlier! Thank you both for this video!

[@chiparooo]

Oh this format is great! I feel like Lee so this is perfect. I’m sure there will be some shortcomings, but there is a lot of good information in this casual format. Thanks for your honesty Lee! Thanks for sharing!

[@steveferro]

This is priceless guys. Thank you for posting this 🙏🏼

[@pennywise4843]

Lee - nothing but respect for you in taking these lessons and allowing us to view as a fly on the wall. You are an excellent guitarist in your own right and inspire us all. Justin, you’re an absolute legend.

[@spotmfd9431]

Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more of these.

[@christopherburnett1745]

I am only 1 minute in and I'm already so thankful to the both of you for doing this! I love the rutbuster videos and so look forward to this!

[@vjau75]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@ghfdt368]

Justin is one of the best teachers out there period. Justin,Marty Scwartz(marty music), Sean Daniels, Carl Brown(guitarlessons365) and David Wallimann all tought and continue to teach me guitar every day.

[@anthonybags2626]

This is absolutely brilliant. Love you guys. Much respect, Lee. It I'd probably intimidating playing with the shredders. Your style is your style. Don't strive to be something you are not. I've been inspired by this. Justin in the best. Love this guy.

[@JoeDonahue]

This is a great video. I've been butchering guitar for 20 years and I was inspired to practice. Thank you Captain for putting yourself out there. Very inspiring. Justin, you are a phenomenal teacher. Thank you both.

[@ianmartin6414]

Lee by putting yourself out there with no way to hide is just fantastic and wlil no doubt inspire so many of us, we are with you bro

[@tvize3]

Exactly It's a sign of huge intelligence to admit and expose oneself to your flaws to improve and grow. A true guitar hero in the classic sense A hero perseveres in discomfort to achieve greatness Good job Captain!!

[@nettlesome7125]

Thanks to you both for the courage to broadcast these private moments. Justin, as usual...you're a treasure.

[@hugorneto]

I really appreciate what you're doing! Keep going, Lee and Justin!

[@asmundlunde7762]

Lee is doing more for us ok players than maybe he knows. Thanks for being a big part of my renewed dedication to the guitar!

[@johnniepage3844]

Great video!! Thanks to Lee for sharing his lesson with all of us!

[@XLBiker13]

Thank you for sharing Lee. For what its worth I think you play really well and have a great touch. Thanks for sharing what you're learning with Justin. Takes a big man to put himself out there in front of everyone for this sort of exercise.

[@BelligerentHeritage]

This is absolutely awesome. You guys displaying such an intimate thing is immensely encouraging for us guitar players out there that feel we aren't hitting as good as we should be.

[@coolwalda3927]

I really do admire Lee for his courage to practice in public. Thumbs up. Totally interessting to gain insight a private lesson of Justin. Thank you both so much for that.

[@brickupdate]

Seeing this is so helpful -- how Justin teaches an in-person session, and how he and Lee worked together to customize a practice routine. Thank you! Please post more of these if you are able.

[@wsurf11111]

This is brilliant..thanks for putting yourself out there Lee!

[@redmcmannus]

This is probably the most useful guitar video I have seen for a VERY long time. Keep doing these please.

[@feilimoh-einigh6265]

Really admire you putting yourself out there, I hope you realise that your really helping a lot of us on our ever learning guitar journey, keep up the good work.

[@chrisb3389]

Thanks for this video. I'm teaching a teen at my church and this was helpful to see how to better organize a lesson. I like how Justin mapped out the exact amount of time for each item to practice. That's something I need to add to my teaching. Keep these coming!

[@grahamlewis4884]

Watching this has made me feel so much better about all my bad habits, and given me hope that I can improve. Great video. Well done guys.

[@mike5058]

thanks for putting this up. I could watch this stuff for hours. Good on Lee for agreeing to it also - I would not feel comfortable being in his shoes but very thankful he allowed it and I will learn lots from it.

[@user-ik8xl2yk1g]

Go for it Lee! I'm with u on this learning journey

[@elmopablo]

I just watched Justin do an amazing tutorial with a novice guitarist and thought wouldn’t it be great to have an experienced guitarist come in and do a video lesson. Then I saw this.👍 I follow Chappers and the captain so I was really impressed to see his humbleness and show that not all well known celebs know everything. Thanks so much both of you for being real people and willing to help other guitarist to learn more. 🙏👍✊👊💎💎💎💎💎

[@victoriousguitarlessons8637]

Oh my! This was fantastic. It's really interesting from a guitar teachers point of view as well to actually see how more experienced teachers go about their business. There's always something new to learn or get better at undependent of skill level. Thank you for this. More please!

[@weets69]

Thanks Lee for putting yourself out there. Justine is a great teacher.

[@toofypeg7931]

Fantastic idea to do this!! I’m going to binge watch the lessons now and try and learn along with you! Thanks for all your efforts Justin! Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@kimkelleher6371]

Brilliant to see how a good guitarist experiences a lesson & the challenges they have.

[@TBerge75]

This type of video is genius - There are SOOO many guitar players out there who are at or around Lee's level, but want to improve. Much like Lee, I never learned the theory, the scales, the CAGED system or any of that stuff when I first started playing... I just learned the chords and what little licks or solo's I knew was just from memorization, wouldn't have a clue how to transpose if it someone all of a sudden asked me to play it in a different key. To be able to go along on Lee's journey with him, being at around the same level and pretty much get private lesson from such a fantastic teacher is one of the best things I have ever seen on KZbin.

[@WRCStudio]

Justin this series is amazing!!!!! Exactly what I needed to see

[@davidhawthorne5558]

Justin this is top notch & I love your teaching style. Lee thanks for putting yourself out there- I feel many of the same struggles

[@jeffbuckley4453]

the thing about little wing. is it saved my guitar playing. i had been playing for 6 months with no real progression in my playing. then i heard little wing and HAD to learn it. so i practiced it everyday for a year and a half.still practice it everyday. now i can play about 100% of the song all the way through with about 90% of the tricks learned. i play it for my friends and family now and they cant believe i learned it! im not even that good at guitar at all. just everyday practice really helped me.

[@RNAMusic]

Thanks Lee and Justin for sharing this!

[@davidstill966]

Hi Lee I'm inspired by the decision you've taken to start learning again, I play a little bit on and off but now I want to take it more serious thanks Lee for the inspiration and thanks Justin for being a true teacher and not cutting corners

[@SuperRickenbacker]

Great video, love these guys. I have heard Lee play some great stuff. Justin is unquestionably a good teacher.

[@071Tom]

Thank you for this video, to a beginner like myself it was very refreshing to see that the process and trouble spots are the same when learning something new even for someone that has been playing as long as Lee

[@deanharris6398]

I was intrigued by these lessons and have enjoyed watching. It has helped me to develop my own practice routine. One thing I thought I was good at was alternate picking, however, I decided to video myself practising the scale pattern today and found, to my astonishment that I was actually economy picking. Have discovered how valuable it can be to record and watch yourself play, especially if you don't have lessons or a teacher to point these things out. Always love your videos Justin. I am a beginner and have a long way to go but am trying not to get too bogged down and keep playing and enjoying guitar. I have to also say that I love watching the Andertons videos too, I love to see and hear Rob and Lee play and see all the great guitars and gear. Keep up the great work guys.

[@johne5180]

Also, Lee, humble and honest suits you, and we are all in the same boat with this instrument, just different decks. Justin, well done.

[@MrSimonandmandy]

Oh my gosh! This SO good for me to watch! I have struggled with thinking that I am the only 'mature' student who makes mistakes and finds things difficult to grasp. I'm human after all. Thank you Lee for for putting yourself out there. It is like watching a mirror image of me in my weekly lesson....all the same frustrations and embarrassment but all the same level of enthusiasm as well. Thank you Justin as well. I am sure that there are many other students out there feeling a similar sense of relief : )

[@justinguitar]

:) I think many can relate!

[@andrewlock3480]

Thank's for this guys. I don't know about everyone else but I would pay for these video's. Really fun to actually play through the lesson. I missed the first half live. Fantastic inspiring content. Thank you both

[@DanSZiegler]

This is great! Love the Rut Busters series and found this very helpful! More please! Thank you!

[@mhaight]

I love this format. I've gleaned a lot from this.

[@RWulff007]

Cheering for you Lee. Respect.

[@lawrencesimon]

I really enjoyed this and felt a lot of what was said applied to myself. Keep these coming!

This is great content. Really helps to revamp the practice routine. Awesome idea

[@bzbcustoms4520]

Lee buddy your a great guy putting yourself out their.Just think about wear your going and not wear your at and these lessons really help new players realize everyone struggles that's a important to understand as anything else

[@jakemf1]

It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there! Keep it up and great job both student and teacher

[@BluesRootsMusic]

Justin, you are one super talented teacher!!! I'm loving this video

[@mikekozlowski3853]

Well done Captain! This is exactly the video I was looking for!!! Love the Andertons channel and I always identify with Lee and am struggling to play Little Wing myself.

[@twstdelf]

I absolutely love this format. I hope you do more of these. I also think Lee is a perfect student, as it seems so many here (myself included!) can relate to him and his status and struggles. Hang in there Lee, everyone out here's on your side! :) And a huge thanks to Justin for sharing so much for so long, it's definitely appreciated!

[@kruzzo8d]

Justin is like a doctor! Amazing teacher!

The burst on that Strat is just gorgeous.

[@jontypiper9881]

This is really interesting to me as I'm 45 and played on/off since I was 16, my recent period of not playing has lasted 12 years. I've always struggled with the theory side but now want to try again.

[@jomomma193]

I hope one day during a demo Lee just rips in to Little Wing.

This was massively helpful. Watching Lee play in Anderson videos now, his progress in the last 2.5 years has been great. I’m hoping I can make the same progress.

[@jonlewis63]

Although i'm worried I may come across as some nutter that thinks you're doing this lesson with just me in mind . This is sooo relevant to where i'm at with my playing its scary . I watched all of the rut buster vids and found them incredibly helpful with structuring practice time etc . So I'm very excited about following along with Lee and his journey .

[@lalayotka23]

These episodes with Lee have inspired me so much, thank you for this

[@justinguitar]

[@554LH]

This is so much, chatting about guitar, our fav subject.

[@Murphy_Peoples]

Hooked on Lee's lessons. Love these.

[@BurnleyNuts]

Just brilliant. I love Lee's self deprecation and the fact like all of us out here understands his own vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It's been great following Rut Busters and now this. Superb work guys you maybe aren't aware just how many of us you are helping, many who have been also playing for years too. When's the next one?

[@iancampbell377]

Excellent concept. I have played guitar casually for many years during my career and struggled to find time to learn and improve. Since retiring last year, I have been taking guitar lessons weekly and making some progress in learning finger style jazz guitar. It is reassuring to see that others are encountering the same questions and experiencing the same frustrations as I am working through.

[@ch90125]

Three outstanding song choices!!

[@TheKingKrusher]

This was a bit of an eye opener, cos i've always admired and envied The Captain's playing in all the demo videoes he does. Now I realize that i'm not the only one struggeling from time to time. Cheers for being so honest about this.

[@joeleke64]

This is massively interesting! I'm a guitar teacher too and I like learning about your process. Please keep doing these!

[@IPushHard]

I used to lurk at the Justin website/channel nearly every day. Many hours. I did pick up a few things, such as that spider crawl finger exercise. But I concentrated mostly on technique and a little theory rather than learning songs. I'll be going back soon to learn songs....like I should have done in the first place. But also, Im using this "captain" series just like Im getting a lesson. Very helpful. Thanks to you both for making this stuff available.

[@thebossandthebeestonstreet9493]

Inspired me to promise to myself that I will learn Little Wing! Thanks guys. This is GOLD.

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

These lessons were great, and I'd love to see more like this. I think I've watched all of the Captain's Privates, Rut Busters, and Tammy lessons about 3 or 4 times each.
