    I don't know how you do it Justin, but you take an already wonderful song, and somehow add a whole other layer of emotion to it. This is simply beautiful.

    The coolest guitar players always have the coolest guitars. That’s a beautiful PRS. I could literally hear the words coming out of the notes that you were playing.

      I think the coolest players have a guitar. No attachments or special capabilities. Not knocking PRS. Beautiful guitars sound like crap if the player cant play. Honestly. Justin can jam on a cigar box guitar though and make it shine.

    This is my favorite song ever written. By my favorite band of all time. My entire family knows how much this song means to me. The day after you published this to UA-cam was the one year anniversary of my fathers passing. I cannot begin to describe how mind blowing this rendition is, on top of the insane synchronicity in the timing of you publishing it. I am in tears writing all this just to say, ultimately, THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart. Its as if I’m hearing it again for the first time. 🙏❤️

Such a soothing version. Thanks Justin, you started my new year out great for me. A buddy and myself played this song at one of our deceased buddies celebration of life last summer to remember him. This song brings good, but sad feelings to me. Thanks again Justin.

But if you're having some carpel tunnel issues, don't be stubborn - take care of it earlier rather than later. You're an incredible talent, and issues happen. We need you! If it's nothing, well, then, yay!
