Learning guitar?

If you are, this is by far the best resource I've found:

http://www.justinguitar.com/index.php















His name is Justin Sandercoe and he has hundreds of video lessons available for free on Youtube, including full song lessons. He has an entire comprehensive free beginners course and lessons ranging from metal to jazz to folk fingerstyle. The site works on an honor basis, he doesn't charge money for anything other than a few products, most of which are already available for free, and the site runs entirely on donations. So pay for what you use!

He also released an album last year called Small Town Eyes, available on iTunes. It's a very folky Neil Young-inspired album with plenty of great guitar playing. Justin also sings and plays harmonica, but the best track is probably "From Katie's Window," which is an amazing pastoral folk instrumental piece with a great bluesy solo in the middle. Here's a performance and complete lesson taught by Justin:









And for the record, I have no affiliation with Justin or his site, I'm simply a fan that has learned a lot from him and I want to spread the word.
