Great app, and the songs are really helpful. The only thing I would change is to make it easier to switch back and forth between the app lessons and the website lessons for those of us who use both. Also, rearranging the order of songs in your playlist is pretty cumbersome and could use a […]

Old app user for over a year. Loved it! The new app seems to need a lot of work. The strum patterns changed, tempos are wrong at 100%, chords have changed and sound worse than in the old app. Worst of all the timing is off on nearly every song I’ve played. Having actual vocals […]

Helpful and good for beginners, tho with some limits. I’m a brand new guitar player (thanks COVID!) and these are great go-at-your-own-place lessons. Not without room for improvements. For example, the songs have 3 speeds and that’s it, you can pause but it blocks the song. I’d like to be able to have a 5 […]

Great app for practicing. I had already been playing open chords when I started using this app. I have been using it for practicing my strumming and making chord changes in time. It’s kind of like Guitar Hero for a real guitar, though it doesn’t rate how well you did. The play along music is […]

Started my journey in March. Never picked up a guitar before, but have progressed through level 5 beginners app. Watched the dreaded ‘F’ chord intro. two weeks ago. Been trying to make my fingers cooperate. Challenging, I’ll say! In the mean time focusing on chord change drills to get the chords I can play into […]

I’m having a lot of fun using the Justin Guitar app. I’ve been at it for a few weeks now and finally have the needed calluses to really practice. πŸ˜€ Justin’s videos are very informative and the curriculum is presented in a logical manner starting simple and becoming more technical. The app is pretty intuitive […]

pretty good app, it didn’t allow full access one time after i paid. had to reinstall app and it voided my progress. it would be nice if u could skip around more and check off things out of order. if app doesn’t work again, not sure i could continue and lose my progress. I hope […]

UPDATE 1/12/19: Right after I wrote my initial 5 star review on the old version I made the mistake of updating the app. Now I can’t practice any of the stage 2 and 3 songs I have been playing. They are “locked” because I haven’t “completed” all of the early exercises I already know!? 1/13/19: […]

EXCELLENT!! I really do enjoy the approach. It works great for me. I can say I tried this app approximately 7 years ago.. lost interest due to life happening. Recently started it again and I was absolutely blown away at the muscle memory I had retained from the lessons 7 years ago. That is what […]

I have never been more motivated or interested to learn than when I am using this app and his website. I have had a guitar for 17 years, tried private lessons, CD, YouTube etc but they were all so boring. This has been an absolute game changer. I’m now on week 5, I’ve never managed […]

Great beginner guitar app. The content is centered around the first 6 months or so. Common chords, tips like using a capo or fingerpicking. Tuner is mediocre, E string rarely registers when Fender Play is quite consistent. Songs are “karaoke” style. Some are better than others. Basically if you want to go from 0 to […]

Robust guitar learning experience. Very reasonable price for all that you get. Still going after 2 years. I can play several songs, and I can practice almost anywhere. The price is still amazing and the song list keeps growing. I just hope Justin puts out an intermediate version after I am done with the beginner […]

Justin is a great teacher. Ive been using this for about 6 months now, i paid for a year subscription to give me a road map and to keep me motivated to pratice. The lessons are well structured, challanging, but accessible for someone with no music background. Also, the song library is great and they’re […]

The lessons are great and the app is structured pretty well. I’m really learning (even if slowly) how to play and I’m excited! But, it crashes. All. The. Time. Especially when I’m trying to play songs. It’s very frustrating. Might cancel my subscription even though I love the service because I have to reboot the […]

Best online guitar instruction hands down. I have tried others, and they either went too fast or didn’t cover the fundamentals as much as Justin Guitar does. He explains everything in detail, and he tells beginners hey you’re going to make mistakes, and your fingers are going to hurt. And he doesn’t rush you into […]

The app was great. The guitar kareoke is fantastic. But they recently removed some of the songs from the lessons. I had been working on One by U2, and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. Both songs recommended in the Beginners course. Now they’re gone. In fact, all U2 is gone. No bueno for […]

The new version is very confusing. Hard to understand what the strumming patterns are, and the chords on many songs have changed. Many songs now use 5ths and other variations, and some have changed keys (Sloop John B, etc). It is very difficult to play along using headphones because the backing tracks don’t give good […]

I’ve tried 5 competitor online guitar learning programs, and this is the only one that clicks on most levels. The instruction is good, and the song presentation helps me keep time and is not overly complicated. A HUGE plus for me is being able to remove vocals, other apps don’t do that. PLEASE consider a […]

Deducted one star for forced autorenewal. I gladly paid for an entire year, the app is quality! However I prefer NOT to enroll in autorenewal like most people. Cancelling the subscription was not only somewhat hidden, it begged be to stay and even re-enabled the autorenewal against my wishes! Getting it working with BlueStacks was […]

So this is going to help a lot of beginners out. Hopefully, they come across this before starting out. I used Simply for months. Still have subscriptions that came with my intrusuments. So I don’t pay it. Simply still has the best tuner on Playstore. But Simply has a tuner app alone, an app that […]
