Justin Guitar review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Justin Guitar is a clear first choice for adult beginners who want a proven, step-by-step course and songs matched to their level. Players past the beginner grades should look at a larger catalog such as TrueFire.

What Justin Guitar is

Justin Guitar, published by Musopia, turns guitar teacher Justin Sandercoe's beginner course into an app. The description lists 210 video lessons (36+ hours) across beginner Grades 1, 2 and 3, a 10-minute Daily Practice Routine, One-Minute Chord Change drills, a color-chord system, a tuner and progress tracking. Its song player shows the next chord, the strumming pattern and lyrics, with adjustable tempo, across more than 1,500 songs.
