Members Jimmy25 Posted January 13, 2012 Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 Alright So Here's The Thing, I'm pretty much done with almost all of the lessons taught from Justinguitar. com. And originally I was planning on purchasing for a guitar book like: The Advancing Guitarist by Mick Goodrick ; A Modern Method For Guitar By William G. Leavitt, etc. THEN I looked at the content and many reviews, and I thought, maybe it's a bit too complicated for me, b/c most of them are NOT step-by-step but just simply tell you to do sth and moves in a very fast phase. AND SO I came to the idea of purchasing monthly membership in other guitar lesson website like: JamPlay ; Nextlevelguitar ; Licklibrary ; Truefire ; etc. Fortunately, they all have free trials / free sample video to let you get an idea of how their website works and how's the teacher on their website. THEN after I spend some time to try out most of their lessons. I thought, even though you have tons and tons of different choices and teachers to choose from, but the disadvantage is that there might be some really good ones but also not so good ones at the same time. And as an intermediate player, sometimes you can't really tell what they're teaching is good/not, and which end up not getting the most out of it in the time you spent. Most importantly and in the end, my conclusion is that none of them are as clear as Justin Sandercoe, I found some lessons on those other sites confusing or a long lesson but not getting to the point. Thus, I traveled in a circle and came all the way back to Justin Sandercoe, my favorite teacher of all, always getting right to the point, and as always very clear and easy to understand. With that said, and after I did the comparison, I found Justin Sandercoe's lessons extremely helpful and effective, so I thought, why not stick with Justin Sandercoe's products? Besides, I learned so much from him going through his "voluntary pay" lessons, and showed a tremendous improvement, why not thank him by donating / purchasing his product and give him the support that he deserves! Now, I'm just about to purchase the "Practical Music Theory" (ebook pdf.file) by Justin Sandercoe as I believe it should be awesome like all the other lessons I've learned from his website. If it turns out well, I'll definitely buy more of his products and support Justin as I'm a big fan of him now. cheers : ) BTW: any reviews on Justin Sandercoe's "Practical Music Theory", or his other products? NOTE: this is written in my "personal opinion", as some of you might disagree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thurston Posted January 13, 2012 Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 I like his site as well. Some of the videos are a little too long winded for me, but he definitely teaches very useful content and has a great deal of resources available for free. Let me know how the non-free products work out for you Also, try using paragraphs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members animalwithin Posted January 13, 2012 Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 I really like him, he even got an interview with Steve Vai. His finger gym is awesome for a warm up and his lessons are broken down very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jimmy25 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 chill guys.. no offense, and please don't get me wrong here, not saying other guitar teachers / products from other sites are in any way worst or better, each of them has their own unique teaching styles, and you choose what works best for you. While I found justin's stuffs works best for me from "personal opinion/taste/prefrence" as I mentioned in the end of the thread, some others may find Justin's lesson less effective than lessons taught by another teacher or products, and there's absolutely nothing wrong about that. Not doing advertisement, not saying one is better than another, just sharing my experience from my humble opinion, and you don't have to agree with me of course. my apologize if there was any misunderstanding. PEACE and CHEERS : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEACE and CHEERS : ) I didn't see anything wrong with your post, but I understand the skeptical reaction you got. There are tons of spammers and trolls on internet forums - posts like your's can easily set off the spam-o-meter. You shopped around and discovered you were better off with the teacher / program you already have and you wanted to share your experience. I see it no different than the threads people post about shopping for a new guitar. We all end up talking up the brand / model guitar we end up buying. I view it as a natural reaction: People like to share positive experiences with products and services. They also like to share bad experiences. It's part of being a consumer and posting on internet forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
