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.

I recently purchase his "practical music theory " pdf and it is something like $15.90 for the pdf. I like how organized it is and how it is in a workbook type format so you actually have to do worksheets which for me helps me to lear more than if I just read it. So I think it is pretty good. Are there better ones? Probably. Is it worth it? Absolutely if nothing more but to support Justin like you originally said.

On a side note, have you tried going to Marty Schwartz's website to learn from him? I love the way he teaches. His site is $9 more than jamplay but if you like his style of teaching, then $29/month isn't bad to give it a try.

Lastyly, have you done anything with song surgeon? It is a software that slows a song down without changing the pitch of the notes so you can figure out a song by ear better. It does a ton more, but if you have complete Justin's site, then you might like song surgeon as Justin is huge on playing by ear.

Jimmy25, have you tried the guitar lessons offered here on the Fender website? I have played along with some of the lessons and found that they are fun and informative.

over the years I spent too much money on videos, books, etc. And while I did glean some knowledge, I seriously needed to have the ability to ask questions and get feedback for clarification on theory, technique, etc.

I finally stopped spending all that money, found a really good, reputable guitar teacher, and he changed my life. Literally. I stopped feeling frustrated, unfulfilled, and got to the point where I am now in a band, having a blast, doing things and understanding them like I was never able to before.

I suggest, get a good teacher. The money will be worth it in the end.
