THE ART OF BLUES GUITAR...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Blues is one of the most versatile styles of music, and the feel, inflections, techniques, & tones that originated in early blues music have been applied to nearly every genre. The styles of blues guitar that have developed through the years are nearly endless, but here's a little trip through some of the heavy hitters.
Many of these styles owe their name to the combination of genres that led to their creation, like Ragtime Blues, Gospel Blues, Blues Rock, Surf Blues, etc, while others are more of a sub-genre within the Blues idiom, named after the region they sprung from, like Delta Blues, Hill Country Blues, Piedmont Blues, Texas Blues, etc.
Many of the compositions themselves don't define the type of blues, instead it's the instrumentation or production techniques that create the overall feel of the genre. For example, upright bass and slap echo on the guitar create the Rockabilly vibe, while the combination of early Rock & Roll, Country, and Folk instrumentation and tones create a distinct Americana vibe.
While this is, by no means, an exhaustive list, these are some of my favorite to play and record. If you want me to cover more in future videos and recordings, let me know!
00:00 - Country Blues: "Deep River Blues"
03:08 - Delta Blues: "Whiskey Sippin' Music"
09:47 - Hill Country Blues: "Hill Country Stomp"
14:33 - Swamp Blues: "Whiskey Barrel Blues"
17:55 - Rockabilly Blues: "Bootleg Turn"
23:08 - Boogie Blues: "Baby, Please Don't Go"
27:28 - Gospel Blues: "Amazing Grace"
33:39 - Blues Rock: "Loose Change"
38:35 - Ragtime / Folk Blues "Make Me a Pallet on the Floor / Freight Train"
42:27 - Surf Blues: "Avalanche"
47:10 - Dark Blues: "Son of a Witch"
52:04 - Americana Blues: "When That Full Moon Rises"

My 66 yr old brother who was healthy caught Covid in Jan. 2022. He passed away on March 3. Yesterday marked 1 month. He introduced me to you, Justin. He loved your music. Amazing Grace was one of his favorite hymns. Thank you for doing your own rendition of this song. Your music has lifted my spirits and has been helping with the grieving process. Bless you Justin.
I'm sorry for your loss Kathy, may your brother rest in heaven and I hope you and family circle have been able to find peace, strength, comfort and peace in memories of all the good times.
God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
RIP Brother 🙏
Bless your brothers soul. He had great taste in music. Amazing grace is my favorite from Justin as well.
When I was in the hospital last year with covid & pneumonia, I would bring up Justin's long videos and playlists to help me through being stuck in an isolation room.
Condolences
Holy shittt!! That was erm….wow!!!
57min long Blues Bible! 💙🎸😎👌
Hello, My name is Johnny Cash. Proud that JJ honors the Man in Black with John's signature guitar.
💃🕺 that needs is a whiskey.😎👍🥃
This is my new friend with glass of coffee😎
Wonderful blues Justin i like it very much pure natur💐 LG Elisabeth.
Sudenly remindme Steve Vai´s style, minute 37:10 {..}
Theres not many things that leave me "agape" but this was one
Here I am again, a beautiful Saturday night 🌙 and I'm grilling some pig and chicken and trying to watch JJ, I listen while I'm prepping the food but I need to watch the Master. 😁 the only way I can explain it is, I'm so proud for JJ like he was my only son? Don't get me wrong though, I have two sons I'm very proud of and I love them so much, but it makes me very, very happy to see someone so into their element and give so much to us, it's like when someone says, the planets are aligned and good things will come. The endless hours of hard work that JJ puts into every set is astonishing, I've never seen anyone make it look so easy, And maybe it is when you're doing something that you love and live? God bless Justin.
And the wizard blesses us again with another banger.
This song still holds up many years after it was released. That is a sign that music lasts through generations
I don't know much, but a man knows what's pure and natural. And listening to Justin has got me through some tough times and I absolutely appreciate him 🙏, thank you God for recommending him to me? I sure as hell know it wasn't the algorithm 😂😁
I'm not sure how he popped up on my recommendations either (GOD) . But man,I gotta say, ever since I found out about him it's become like a nearly constant soundtrack for me. I hardly watch anything else any more (it's starting to get a little ridiculous if I'm honest lol) I wonder sometimes, if most of the like,1/2 million views he'll get on a video are, just fifty of uswatching them over and over again ?lol . cheers!
Wundervoller Blues❤❤❤Ich liebe diese Musik❤❤❤Dankeschön❤❤❤
This is youtube at its best: fantastic music, watching a master at work, and an education in the topography of the blues world, too.
I haven't seen more than 2 min yet... but I guarantee this is going to be an hour of awesomeness
LOVE YOU!!!! My Friend!!!! BLUES!!! V
You are a great guitarist MR. Justin Johnson ! Thanks for sharing your life with me my friend 🤘🎸🤠
Love when you jam with your friends.
YOU ARE THE KING OF MY HEART AND MY SOUL, THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! 🤩
I don't even normally like this slow guitar stuff, but this is beautiful. Can't stop listening to this guy. He's awesome.
He's amazing 😍
Impressionnant de facilité...pour lui
If there's a man or woman that can play better than Justin Johnson , please ; I'd love to meet him / her . Thanks Justin , to me you're the best of the best ! Thanks my friend for sharing your life with me . 🤘🎸🤠
Beautiful to listen to and hope to learn from.
Love listening to this Justin, I have one guitar and haven't started playing it yet.. I'm 61 one day I be motivated pick it up.. In the mean time I will just enjoy watching you play.. Awesome.
Justin Johnson is not only one of the greatest living bluesmen today, but he is one of the all-time greats, right at the top of The Mount Olympus of Blues, where there are no better or worse, just G.O.A.T.S., not to mention he has one of the coolest collections of guitars and equipment in the world. After a long period of being bored and losing interest in the Blues, I am in LOVE with the Blues again!!!!
He's the best guitarist PERIOD nobody ever will surpass him, you are so right. I'm talking about this guy smokes BB KING.
@@patrickshannon4516 chill
@@8OBO8 why someone needs to say something about it and I'm just the person to do that
😂
😢😮b❤😢😢
Yes blues played with such an eclectic style help the grieving process. My hubby passed away from Covid too Oct 2021. Sorry for everybody's loss. On that note what a pretty shell.
Added to my list of music to listen to while I work.
Every note was pure enjoyment
With eazy just the way my joint burns great music good sir .
I'm with that
DR.DOOM IS in THE house 👈
SOUNDS GREAT ❤❤❤❤❤
You kick ass love you videos
God I've got the blues just listening to Justin. Love It!
And another stunning song collection to add to the Saturday night Justin mix 😎👍
Ridiculously talented. Most people could practice 24/7/365 for 30 years and never reach this level. At some point they'd hit a wall where their talent has peaked and from that moment forward they're just maintaining their acquired skills. Justin is in rare territory that very few can reach regardless of their devotion to the craft.
Nobody will ever be as good as he is best guitarist of all time
A thousand likes
So much heart and soul to this man's blues
touch my soul, your playin drives me up way up
Really enjoying this on a cold Spring night in Ireland, thank you.
I can only wish I had the talent in my hands like JJ and all of these guys that are rocking and have a little bit of fun in their lives? My old arthritic hands aren't able to do this kind of beautiful playing anymore and mind you? I've never, ever seen anyone with so much talent and love for playing? I mean yeah we all love the old blues and jazz and rock, and not everyone wants to be in the world spotlight? Sometimes this is what makes us different? Some people want fame and fortune, and others just love it for what it is? Just the simple love of music and playing.
I just learned, thank you Justin, seeing and hearing is worth more than any words
Thank you Justin,
Really needed your sweet sounds tonight...
Mamma mia! Love your surf music!
Was thinking this to my self as i was listening, Justin Johnson what a memoric name you’ll definitely be one of the blues greats in my books i hope you never lose interest in the guitar Justin i wish many blessings for you
Good lawdy mama that put a smile on my face
Justin, you are an amazing, gifted talent..
Beautiful gift you have Justin thank you for sharing your love of blues 😃🙏🏻
WOOHOO! Smilin and stomping. Thanks man!
When one song from Justin isn't enough, this hits the spot. It's some of the very best blues being played today! 👍👍👍👍👍
Amen
Damn str8 it is
Sorry to disagree… not “some of the best”. I say THE BEST, because there is no style inside the genre where he doesn’t excel. There are some great players out there, but many are a bit one dimensional. But not JJ. He can and does play every style.
Indeed 👏👏👏
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
D😊eltabliues!!!⁰
❤Baby please dont go Totally out of this world guys 💙
This guy is not only a great guitarist but a giving one; allowing you to see what he’s doing. Cheers!
Impressive real blues resurrection, real black blessed spirit.
Just loved Amazing Grace....so smooth
When I was in the hospital last year with covid & pneumonia, I would bring up Justin's long videos and playlists to help me through being stuck in an isolation room.
I love the Bluess !
I Swear... it's like Justin Johnson has Stevie Ray Vaughn's Left Hand and Jimmy Page's Right Hand... the way he blends Classic Blues, Old School Rockabilly and Modern Rock & Roll is so Masterfully done...
Don't leave out the Doc Waston- Ry Cooder- Tommy Emmanuel influence
and Stone Gossard's face
Justin has been inspired by some greats, and has become an inspirational great himself.
I don't ever get tired of listening these guy ! Amazing
Quesque c'est bon d'écouter du Blues si joliment joué ! Voilà une personne qui maîtrise sa guitare.
Bravo à lui
Musicalement
Thank you dear sir for making the blues alive today again. Keep on playing the classic vibe !
Love what you are doing. Blues is the way to go.
All the people playing in the studio with JJ are great also, I'm so glad there's digital footprints now, not like back in the 20's or 30's and before that, so much has been lost over time because it wasn't possible back then, so many greats from then.
What a great picking technic,every note rings out clear and true,one of the best finger style,blues guitarist of our time.
Just what I needed on a Sunday evening to chill to. Thank you Justin.
Still half expecting Justin's guitars to burst into flames when he does his intros. Lucky for us it hasn't happened yet or we'd miss out on some truly phenomenal guitar performances, thanks Justin for sharing them with us
The wooden parts must be made with a fireproof sealant. That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Still hot enough to melt the wax in my ears though LOL. A young master who will no doubt continue to expand and entertain ALL of us for years and years I pray!!👏👏🎵👌
YES
Saw sparks coming off his fingers
@@secondvisions9759 did ya now wow wow wowee
I just can't stop to listen these tunes . Respect young man !!!
Justin you always bring the thunder in your songs. All of them! Thanks for posting all your videos. You're just fantastic!
Justin jams ...keep it up !! Enjoy all your pickin
Hey, nice trip down memory lane. You know I love all that you do, but, it gives me a real thrill to watch you jam with your fellow musicians ! Thanks and bests to y'all, m.m.
This is so beautiful. When you hear it, you know this is what you've been waiting for. Bring home the blues, Justin. There's no one like you.
Wow, great music...
Man! That is some serious blues
excelente compilado.. i loved!
Justin,
Everytime I listen to your guitar style I'm drawn towards my guitar with renewed interest. You are more than inspiring, you are an amazing teacher as well, that finger picking video really helped me learn.
Thanks a bunch!
That first thirty seconds just sets that hook in your jaw.
JJ reelin’ in all kinds of new fans He sure knows how to make that Martin get up and run!
Beware of people pretending to be Justin. If they try to get you to download Bitcoin app, it's more than likely bullshit.
Mighty fine pickin' as always Justin, keep on keepin' the blues alive!
I would totally love a second part of this format including more styles of blues, for example Texas Blues
Thanks Justin, you‘re the best 🔥🔥🔥
👁️✨👁️ aloha Justin
OMG I so glad to see your upload today does everyone's heart good MAHALO💖
Love....😊
Божественно...!Спасибо за непередаваемые эмоции!
Listening to you just gets better and better! Please keep it coming
This is great. I also love Doc Watson's "Deep River Blues"
Dude this is gold, makes me grateful of being alive.
Esse cara é incrível
Justin is an absolute LEGEND!!! I thank the Devil at the Crossroads for letting him pass.
Absolutely amazing ! I am so inspired, thank you Sir, you have touched my soul.
Ohhhh how wonderful, I just love this blues music! Already the master of the blues, B.B.King was a God-blessed guitarist! But you: "Must be a sent angel on earth"! It's just crazy how crazy good you are at playing the guitar! What I would give for being able to play the guitar so beautifully, I'll probably never learn it🙆 🏽♂️!!! I'm so glad to have found you here via UA-cam and subscribed! Now you have another fan!!! Greetings from Jürgen from Germany! ✌️🎸🎶
O cara é um gênio na guitarra e no Blues
Fantastic! Can`t get enough of these~
Божественное звучание! Лучше музыки есть только музыка.
I truly appreciate your understanding and precise performance of the many avenues of the Blues , true music to my ears . Thank you , more so than mere words can speak . Respect from NZ .
