    I appreciate Justin's no-nonsense demos, and his playing is always superb. Further, you can hear the sound of the guitar instead of the multiple effects that other You-Tubers use, in which every guitar sounds the same.

    Love the aesthetic look of that guitar it's almost as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the ears to hear you playing it.

  • @aidenmohrmann1850
    @aidenmohrmann1850 2 роки тому +4

    I think what separates you from other guitarists on the internet, is that even though you may have many of the same influences and know how to play much of the same styles, you have a very clear and defined style of your own.

    You've got a real keeper guitar right there JJ. I just watched some videos from Mule Resophonic in Saginaw MI. Outstanding workmanship indeed. Rhett Shull and Tyler Bryant are big fans of Mule also. Slide Guitar playing sure has kept it's appeal from the old Mississippi Delta Blues era.

    Mule always blows me away and this is no exception. There are a handful of resonators I'd like to upgrade to one day any of Mule's lineup including this are on that list of things worth buying.
    The tone this thing produces is outstanding. I could listen to this all day.
