I have been playing guitar and writing songs since forever...
I am a guitarist singer songwriter working on my first proper album. The songs up in the player are demos but are not recorded with the band and won't be on the finished album, but will give you an idea of the vibe I am on. I hope.
Many years back I created a web site where you can learn guitar for free - most likely that is how you found this page!! I try and add new lessons whenever I get free time - usually it's donation dependent. When people donate it allows me to take time off my regular work to make new lessons. You can make donations via the web site (as you probably know!).
My day to day "work life" is mostly playing (sessions and teaching), but my real love is writing songs. I spend every free moment trying to get the writing finished for my album, due out sometime early 2009. I am doing some co-writing with some fab people - the new stuff I am working on now has a lot more edge, some cool electric stuff with a whole band, in addition to the chilled acoustic vibe of these demos. That said I am still working on more solo acoustic guitar tunes too - just 'cos I love playing them.
I hope you like listening to these demo's - please join the mailing list on my teaching web site (www.justinguitar.com) if you want to stay in touch with what is going on for me - I'll be sure to barking about the album when it comes out. And planning to do some gigs around Europe and the US when the album is finished.
Thanks for visiting. :)
Wishing you all love, peace and happiness.
p.s - this is not the place to ask guitar questions or make requests - please use the web site forum for that!

Hey justin whats up? i was wondering if you could do a lesson on The God Father Theme song, the way Slash plays it. it is a really cool song it has got a lot of emotion and it is really good practice on my note bending,my vibrato, and lots of other stuff! So if you could please do this i would be very grateful and glad that you actually read my post and did what i want to learn! Tanks man, Your Awesome!
Hi Justin! I've been learning guitar from your website and i just wanna say thank u for everything. I've been playing piano since i was 5 and i consider myself a pretty good keyboardist. i recently just started picking up guitar. i really like your site and just wanna say thank u.
Hey Justin! You are with no doubt the coolest (and best) virutal guitar teacher ever! Treated myself with a nice Taylor acoustic 110 (superb for the budget BTW!!!) and bought strumming, major scale DVD + pre order the new beginner course!!! And peps you should do the same! I'm hooked every night!
Hey Justin. Thanks for teaching me how to play guitar :) It has been two years since I started. And in Tuesday I'm gonna do my third concert (for the first time with my band :) ) We already wrote 3 songs :P (Third one we wrote yesterday :D ) All I want to say is Thank You! You made me understand the instrument and gave me the will to continue.
