@@Dave-im3lm while that may be true, if your not laying down anything that’s good what would you have?? Shit layered on shit. You say things like “looper” or “look it up” like its some kind of discovery. Or you act as if a looper could make someone play like this .For Gods sake dude... Really??? 🙄
This dudes videos really help me out when I'm withdrawing from dope. His playing is one of only several things that can take my mind off the misery. Mad respect since 2016.
This is where my discovery of Justin Johnson all started, no doubt in my mind nor my ears the best guitar player and on top of it he's an humble man involve in giving back to the community. Well done. From a Canadian veteran
I have seen other videos from this guy, but this one is my favorite. It balances groove, skill and taste in a way that sounds irresistible. Pure musicality, without overplaying.
The algorithm led me here where it started and beyond. Justin Johnson is the best there is, best there was, and best there ever will be. God bless him.
Classic endless boogie blues. If there's a blues heaven, John Lee Hooker was looking down on this performance and smiling (and probably tapping his foot, too.) richard --

Fantastic...FANTASTIC!!! Absolutely the VERY best cigar box blues I have ever heard. The thumbs down HAD to be silly kids...anyone with ANY maturity would slap that thumbs up button, as I just did.
How is it that there are SO many absolutely talentless musical superstars in the music mainstream for the last 20 years and ultra talented guys like Justin are overlooked or just "swept under the rug" because music top brass don't want him to be famous??? I read the not long ago that the entertainment big wigs make only the people that they want to make famous and not so much the ones with the most talent. I absolutely believe that
...years, years ago, i was a great Fan's your guittare & your blues... & i'm still...:))) greating from polish country & from town betwen two rivers - Bydgoszcz !!!
Fantastic - and great use of the looper. This character is a student of slide guitar and blues. Anyone who thinks this is easy or worth a 'thumbs down' - let's see you pull it off - live no less.
Justin numder 1 on mt bucket list Almost have killed my tablet watching him out in the desert at night No light just setting under a mesquite tree with my tab an Justin GREAT SOUNDS
me too. Ive become addicted. Justin - the sounds you produce are amazing...so smooth...like listening to liquid silk. The guitars are almost as amazing as what do with them. I especially like the sound of the Marvel Mystery oil guitar and what you did with My Guitar Gently Weeps. BRAVO
Move over Robert and make some room, a new swingin' Johnsons' in town and his name is Justin. Justin, you play with a depth, subtlety, charm, nuance and sense of humor that sets you apart from the other great slide players that all people who love slide are bound to recognize.
Yee haw; awesome J J. My grandpa used to play the banjo when I was a little boy. My grandmother was my Sunday school teacher. They came out to California when my dad was 3 yrs old. I used to catch crawdads and frogs outside a little town not many heard of IVANHOE Calif. Okie raised,with Missouri blood n Kentucky Ken in past before me. Yet born in California, maybe that's why I never felt at home in California. Outdoors, hardwork,family on weekends. Sunday goodness. Thank you!! I felt at home a while. One more thing you play WELL. WELL DONE.
there was a guy back n the last 60's progressive steel blues i think they called it. first man inducted into the blues hall of fame by the name of Johnny..
Just bought me a 4-string cigarbox blues guitar after stumbling across this cat on UA-cam. I gotta learn how to play slide like this. I got the Rooster Blues jonesin' on me now bruh.

He makes his instrument sound like an entire band, and all the members of the band can really play.
He’s got a looper so he records the rhythm and plays over it
Looper.
Looper
This young man is just an incredible talent. Don't think I've ever heard so much high quality music coming from just four strings.
You should hear what he can do with just 1 string
Uses a looper..look it up

@@Dave-im3lm Indeed he may use a looper but the fact IS that Johnson is flat out incredible.
How can people not stop dead in their tracks and be stunned by the skill of this guy ???
They dont have a Soul,and no ears
they have no sense of quality 👍👍👍,,,mark
Right?
i can also leave this page after 30's....boring af
@@shanemartin8904 Your music appreciation rates about as highly as your IQ . . . and your shoe size.
I see people in the background just walking past. How on earth do you not stop and listen to this?!?!?
I would bring my breakfast, lunch and dinner and just sit and listen to him all day. His rhythms, tone, etc just stir a person's soul.
This dudes videos really help me out when I'm withdrawing from dope. His playing is one of only several things that can take my mind off the misery. Mad respect since 2016.
Music and silence each day gets me by. Hour by hour is survival ☮
Been with him since 2017. He took me somewhere I never thought I could go after buying one of his 3 string shovel guitars.
✌🏻❤️🎶
Yeah his music is like a dope all in itself you don't need dope when you got Justin playing the blue's this guy is so good.
Also try Bob Log lll & especially Charlie Magera (sp?). They won't disappoint.
Fucking same.
Currently in the process of withdrawal. Thank you for making this comment.
I'm 33 years playing guitar and you are my favourite guitarist. Hands down bro... Love what you do.
When my neighbors hear this blaring in my garage they know I’m slamming whiskey
J. B. Yeooowwwwww
I hear ya
shine be better
J. B. Exactly what I’m doing now 😂
What kind?
holy shit we have an actual musician that doesnt need a computer to sound good ROCK ON Justin Johnson.
What’s playing the loop in the background?
We are truly blessed to have young fellas like yourself keeping the blues alive. Love your music. God bless.
Justin Johnson is like they distilled guitar and let it mellow in burnt oak barrels
This is where my discovery of Justin Johnson all started, no doubt in my mind nor my ears the best guitar player and on top of it he's an humble man involve in giving back to the community. Well done. From a Canadian veteran
This another mystery to me. Why have we not heard of this guy? He sounds great and he just gets it.
Cause this new generation has been raised on pop and rap and has forgot the music that is accually worth listening too
It's true: some youngsters just get it, and us old buggas keep learning.
Holy shit Batman, this cat is alive
He has his own video channel, just search for Justin Johnson
He lives in the outback where they make moonshine.
He only plays when he is well enough and can see the guitar.
I have seen other videos from this guy, but this one is my favorite. It balances groove, skill and taste in a way that sounds irresistible. Pure musicality, without overplaying.

Unfriggin real hearing him for the first time for the first time in my life TRULY SPEACHLESS wish my vocabulary could do u justice
Some people are just born with it--this one was, for sure. I've seen a bunch of his videos, can't get enough. Hope so much to see him live someday!
You
Found this Dec 2017. I hope this kid is making a very good living with his music!
God knew us all before He formed us in our mother’s womb. He blessed J.J. with an incredible gift to bring joy to our hearts and souls in music; let it edify Jesus by praising Him for the happiness you feel as you listen to this treasure!
“ -in the grand scheme of things that’s really what it’s all about, man.”
Such a cool guitar! He plays so well, love it!
Playing For Change should have him on one of their new tracks by chance? ( 69th Reply? :P )
Join us on Facebook at: Fans of Justin Johnson members are from all over the world
Its the most sounding so sweet with a slide on 3 or a five strings.
Amazing. Can not believe that guy wasn't on a stage in front of a huge crowd with that sort of talent. Simply incredible.
Amazing TALENT
Sadly the music industry is after the money, not the talent.
I think and feel we are part of that crowd
Aren’t we?
Justin plays a great guitar no matter what it is love him
Fantastic...FANTASTIC!!! Absolutely the VERY best cigar box blues I have ever heard. The thumbs down HAD to be silly kids...anyone with ANY maturity would slap that thumbs up button, as I just did.
He literally made the guitar sing. I have never heard this effect to be so natural. I checked to make sure he wasn't humming along!
HOW can One NOT Like this!? Wonderful Man! Thank You Sir!
I have listened to this at least 100 times, and it never gets old !!! When I grow up, I wanna play like Justin Johnson! I'm 47....lmao

The best blues man in today days

So freaking awesome.... Cant stop push the repeat button!!!! 604 Justin Beavers here???
I love creative people.Justin many blessings to your way from Slovenia EU
Fantastic blues Justin!
Hes not playing to a sound trac like the other youtube posers do.
Hes the real deal ❤
His music was great for those long hauls across the dessert and midwest
Ever since I saw you play a shovel I've been hooked on your music. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face.
As soon as the song started, my coffee started tasting like whisky all of sudden. 😜
I decided while at home to b constructive & learn cbg slide blues I intend to play when the pub reopens.
@@nealehilton4825 sounds really great. I kinda started learning harmonica.
@@Ashutosh_Dahia I tried harmonica got to lite headed.
I wasn't a blues man but Justin raised me from the dead.
That was stunning. 1,000 people downthumbed it. What were they expecting? Justin Bieber? Jack Johnson? Keep it up, man. Many thanks.
Rooster Blues is fantastic, beautiful music and the sound of this guitar is show!
Congratulations, brother!
I can tell by your face how much fun you’re having... one of my favorite videos!! Such a rich sound out of that little guitar
531 people who viewed this awesome Talent and voted it thumbs down are deaf
One of the first songs I found from Justin Johnson. Love it!
Bet you can't sit still listening
What a talented chap.
ok !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey!!! How come nobody's talking about this guy?, this guy is killing it. I wonder if Joe Bonamassa is listening to. Justin Johnson
If he isn't.....he damn well should be.
...years, years ago, i was a great Fan's your guittare & your blues... & i'm still...:))) greating from polish country & from town betwen two rivers - Bydgoszcz !!!
OMG!!! CANNOT get enough of Justin!!! Pure amazing raw TALENT. Nothing to do with the Crossroads!! Cyndy in Alabama
Amazing genius guitarrist! I am a fan already, and it is the first time I hear him play!
Wow. Found a video of him on facebook playing a shovel. He is incredible!
That's how i got here lol
same here
yep
He play anything with at least one string on it!
Exactly how I found em'. Hella tunes!! Really hope he keeps em' flowin.
B L U E S : Justice, has been served, by Justin ! Amen.
Justin johnson ... You got got a fan right here ... Spent 4 hours watching your work
Fantastic - and great use of the looper. This character is a student of slide guitar and blues. Anyone who thinks this is easy or worth a 'thumbs down' - let's see you pull it off - live no less.
The 2% just don't know talent when they see it!
It's not hard though. I absolutely hate when people say "pfft thats easy" on things that really aren't but slide blues is kinda easy...
@@kitten-whisperer especially on a cigar box, it's made to make it easy by design, his solid picking hand work aside.
So you have to be able to competently do something before you can dislike it? Are you actually serious? Please rethink your idiotic mindset.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Why should anyone take advice from someone who resorts to insults in place of actual arguments?
This is absolutely fu..ing excellent!!!!
Thankyou for 5 of the greatest minutes of my life
That's a bloody fancy cigarbox guitar!
And Justin slays it.
Justin numder 1 on mt bucket list Almost have killed my tablet watching him out in the desert at night No light just setting under a mesquite tree with my tab an Justin GREAT SOUNDS
being a bluesman myself I can totally dig this! excellent sounds brother.
it does not matter what type of music I like. but when I see a Justin Johson video pop up I have got to watch it!
This is one of the first, if not the first blues video that i've ever watch. Thank you Justin for introducing me to the blues.
That is just ... AWESOME. Beautiful playing man.
juste ok !
just du son !!!!!!!!!!!!

me too. Ive become addicted. Justin - the sounds you produce are amazing...so smooth...like listening to liquid silk. The guitars are almost as amazing as what do with them. I especially like the sound of the Marvel Mystery oil guitar and what you did with My Guitar Gently Weeps. BRAVO
noone above Justin Johnson , the true bluesman
That was Rad Justin , I bet the whole day was amazing.
great talent.....hope more people find him!!
That’s Sick Man. You’re one talented dude. Thanks for sharing
Flawless. An unbelievably exquisite masterpiece. I would recommend this billions of times.
Greatness. Love it. The great old bluesmen (Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters, et al) would be proud.
Got a whole concert coming outta that there guitar, sliding and a finger picking...
Lovin the rooster blues
3 years later and I'm back to listen to it again!
I keep getting back. Can't get enough of it ❤️
After our guns, they will be coming for our guitars, cause they are just too fun.
Do a quick search for Justin Johnson here on UA-cam and you'll find his channel. He's got a new album out, and it's absolutely killer.
Watched Justin in several videos. Never seen him dressed so plain lol. Hardly recognized him, until he started playing. Then there was no doubt!
Man talk about a guy who found his calling! I could listen to you jam for hours! Rock on Justin
omg the sound im in love
Great musician with unreal skills.
I love watching someone who loves their work, work...magnificent talent!
Old black men in their graves are tapping their feet. Bravo.
Move over Robert and make some room, a new swingin' Johnsons' in town and his name is Justin. Justin, you play with a depth, subtlety, charm, nuance and sense of humor that sets you apart from the other great slide players that all people who love slide are bound to recognize.
humor?? how does one play guitar with a sense of humor or have a sense of humor in their play style
j'aime !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's relax a little. This kid is no Robert Johnson.
What about Tommy?
Awesome playing
Classic tunes by one of the best blues players. Unique quality sound. Wish I could have been there .
Yee haw; awesome J J. My grandpa used to play the banjo when I was a little boy. My grandmother was my Sunday school teacher. They came out to California when my dad was 3 yrs old.

WELL DONE.
Live right next to Carrboro. Lived there when this happened. How did I miss it???? Would have killed to see him do this in my little home town.
never disappointed with anything he does...wow
there was a guy back n the last 60's progressive steel blues i think they called it. first man inducted into the blues hall of fame by the name of Johnny..
YOU ARE ONE BAD DUDE JUSTIN ......LOOOVE IT ....BLUES FOREVER ....::::::::)
Great sound, dude's got serious skills.
+Alex Jones did 9/11 I love your comment but I hate your name.
+Alex Jones did 9/11 Nine elevens = 666. Never thought of that but it's brilliant and makes sense. Now it's on to 777.
+John Fontenot how does nine elevens make 666?
Numerology. Add up the ones. 11+11+11= 6. Do that 3 times.
Agree with u!
Serious skills and nice dance steps bro!
Well played ;)
That was brilliant Justin!
As of 13/06/2018; 527 thumbs down. Wtf. What is not to like about this kids slinging style. The kid is on fire.
Mighty Sweet! Kind Thanks Justin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
This is instant happiness.
Serious blues right there my brother. Love the loop and killin' the time signature. Damn straight.
I would sit out there in the woods and watch him play all day...
I'm glad I don't have to wear a wristband to be part of yours I think that goes for all of us thank you
Man, you're just toying with it! In the zone! Sounds great!
Just bought me a 4-string cigarbox blues guitar after stumbling across this cat on UA-cam. I gotta learn how to play slide like this. I got the Rooster Blues jonesin' on me now bruh.
InterWebGuy99: So how goes the cigar box guitar playing??
InterWebGuy99 totally diggin your diggin
Kill it !
@Splaticus Blah duh
@Splaticus Blah played this when my sister and I got married. I don't think anyone was having a good time
My favorite Justin tune. That's one "bad" Rooster tune. AWESOME!!!
miraculous Justin sqeezes n'milks tunes out of any guitar ... an amazing Guitar Talent!
