About Josh Turner Guitar
Joshua Lee Turner is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer based in Brooklyn, New York. Josh is best known for his UA-cam channel Josh Turner Guitar, where he has been posting eclectic cover performances and original music since he started the channel in 2007 at age 15. Josh now tours internationally in support of his own original music, as well as with long-time collaborator Carson McKee, as the folk duo The Other Favorites. In August, Josh released Public Life, his second full-length album of original music.
My dad is 94 years old and is ill with dementia, Parkinson’s, etc. He loves to listen to your music. This is his favorite video! He says he wants to invite you and your friends over to play for him. We live in Texas. 😊Just wanted you to know that your music is loved and listened to, and that you are admired.
I hope your dad is okay! I wish you and your family well, thank you for sharing this story
@@inquisitiveterrestrian Bless your Dad.
I've been a successful professional musician since 1966. When I hear these guys I think to myself "I knew I should have been an underwater welder."
You ain't lying! I've been playing guitar (or attempting to) for over 50 years - and I get paid to do it now, to the tune of 50-100 gigs a year - and I'd have to walk away if I had to follow this kid in a show!
It might not be too late to switch careers. 😄
GREAT comment, good chuckle, thanks friend
Bull Sh-T ! do your thing brother and be happy. Enjoy the music you bring into the world and enjoy others!. I'll jam with you any day.🎸😎👍
Bloody good aren't they
Josh plays guitar like the rest of us wish we could.
The fact that josh can play rhythm, melody, riffs and sing harmony all at the same time is ridiculous.
Preach
It is amazing you mean
I know right!? I hate talented people 😅
Josh is an unbelievably complete musician, but can we appreciate Carson's vocal adaptability and the magic that happens when the lads get together to create actual music. Nothing but gold from these boys.
His voice (not the guitarist) is great
I've discovered a method to learn how to do stuff like this. You first off get away from all critics including the one in your head. It's nice to have a soundproof room, or some other place. Then, record yourself, just go ahead and sing like people do in the shower. Usually your internal critic will let you do that much. Then listen to the recording. Take note of the stuff that sounds good and what doesn't. Repeat, leaning into the stuff that sounds good. Thing is, you have ears, so you can tell what that is. Gradually you build up a repetoir of tricks that work.
@@pappyfiddle Almost everybody can sing at least OK if they turn off their internal critic and loosen up. However, few people can sing well in all keys. It is important to find the right key for your voice. That's why it helps to play an instrument like a guitar or piano and understand how to transpose keys. BTW, the right key for your voice will be different for different songs. The determining factor is the range of the melody (lowest tone to highest tone) and the range of your voice. Find the key that fits both. Some songs have ranges that are to wide for some voices.
Carson is incredible on vocals.
Carson makes faces
My guitar listens to this when I’m not home
this literally made me lol
Must be nice. I keep catching mine listening to "Ice Cream Man" and shedding Eddie tears.
Huh- my guitar gently weeps
My guitar wishes it could sound like that!
Now that’s a good comment! I should know.
Never seen before a guy play the guitar; the Dobro; the banjo; the bass and sing like an angel all at the same time!!!!!
Just sittin’ here groovin’ on the sounds of the “bed-head twins”.. 😂
you mean bad hair twins

Great performance.
I’m dying. 🤣
Good comment, Man! (See what I did there?😊)
LOL!!
living up to that channel name 😂
We can’t remember everything guys....🤦🏻🤦🏻
This old picker ( just turned 71) loves what you and friends (Reina, etc.) are doing for your generation. Keep the great music coming...........!~!~!
I agree with you. I'm a "young" 62. Josh, Carson, Reina, Toni and all their friends give me hope that good music will be played for years to come.
It would be mind blown if this was mainstream radio versus the vile puke on today...aka WAP.
@@bnighter Dream on for this to be mainstream these days.
I know this video was a year ago, but I stumbled on it on youtube, I'm 58 years old and have played professionally with Stevie nicks, and prince, and a few others, and this is just so pure!! out standing !!!
Great comment. Encouraging to the young brothers.
yeah right---I'm super man. LOL
Yep. That's as good as it gets.
Carson's face at 1:28 when Josh plays that bend.
Love those little moments! It’s part of the gold vein running through all of their recordings together. What an interesting friendship, and how lucky for the rest of us that music is such a part of it.
@@ColdHawk So true. One thing I enjoy about their music is how much respect they have for each other's abilitiy.
👂👁👄👁👂 then 😏
Josh’s face at 2:16 💫
I saw Jack Lawrence give that same look to Doc Watson one time at the Somerville Theater. Doc would have loved this. Is this in open D?
Doesn’t get better than these boys playin some Doc Watson, swear to god
Mr. Socko and I bet they’d sound great singing Frankie Valli’s “Swearin’ to God”. Hint, hint...
YES. SO fantastic. Love seeing this. Miss doc too...
So many many years ago - maybe half a century ago - I remember driving Doc Watson and his band from Fresno to San Francisco in my Pinto station wagon.
Dude. No kidding--completely righteous.
Ok, 1st thing; I'm 71. I have loved and sang this song since I was a teenager. Absolutely love this; perfection!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why oh why isn’t there a CD or an album download of Josh Turner’s early covers?? I’m 76 and know all the songs from hearing the originals. He’s the ONLY guy who can totally make them really work. an album would sell like hot cakes! Dire Straits, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, loads more, he is in a class of his own as not only a guitarist but singer and arranger. PLEASE RELEASE AN ALBUM OF THESE AND KEEP THE GOLDEN DAYS CONTINUING. This guy and his friends are legends already. More than awesome! 👏
Let’s hope we see him and his musical friends at Glastonbury festival very soon, you would be just amazing!!! 🎻👍x
The hardest part of watching your music is reconstituting myself from the puddle on the floor, then clickin' replay. Josh, Carson, Reina, Toni, and all the rest make medicine for the livin' soul. Many, many thanks!
Carson's face during Josh's solo says it all.
Josh Turner continually amazes me with his guitar prowess.
I can listen to him play all day and all night, and there are not many like that.
....and banjo, and mandolin, and electric guitar, and bass, and....
That old harmony really sings.
Thats got to be one of the best acoustic guitar sounds ever recorded.
I agree.
I'm with you in this one. But the playing makes half of it. You can have the same guitar and same mic with if it's not well executed it'll never work
And I’m try to see the name brand of that guitar
@@garyteague4480 It's a fully restored 1961 Harmony Guitar, Josh just recently sold it.
@@cunard61 thanks so much ! It had a distinct sound
Such unreal guitar skills! Sounds like at least two different people are playing! 😀
Yeah, now that you mention it...
The magic of open tunings and some fine playing right there
So good. Imagine being Doc Watson and coming up with the sound on your own. Doc is a legend.
@@danielberry9610 Doc and many other great pickers like Chet Atkins or Jerry Reed have all said that they've been influenced by Merle Travis. He was the original
Yeah. Makes me want to just send my guitars to them.
May be I will. I will just tap my feet.
I just heard this song being played by some older folks at Knott's Berry Farm and it blew my mind, I was looking for this song but the harmonizing in the video is the closest to the way the older folk sang it. This was great!
I finally hit SUBSCRIBE when Josh played the final note(harmonic at 12th fret). I don't know what took me so long. What a rich vein of creativity Mr. Turner and Company has tapped into over synthesized world. Keep riding that wave that you found. Your significant other is right.
The Mississippi Sheiks, Doc Watson, Cream, Jack White...add this version to the list!
I reckon if young Josh and Carson could look to the future and see this video, they’d be amazed at their progress.
KCUFDNIM was just thinking about Joshs progress. He floored me with sultans of swing way back when but he is just getting g so well rounded as a guitarist.
Stir_stick Sultans was where we all saw Josh 100% master the style of a song and a guitarist, and we’re just lucky to see that every video these days.
It takes a lot to get me to like something these days. 👍
What kind of a tortured soul would you have to have to give this video a thumbs down? I feel bad for those people. I am truly amazed by your talent and I so appreciate you sharing it like this.
Has to be jealousy. This is mind-blowingly good.
Don't like my peaches don't shake my tree...
I honestly don't know which I am impressed more by, Josh's playing, Carson's vocals or that beautiful sounding Harmony.
Thanks guys, that was just wonderful.
Josh Turners guitar is a lucky beast
They make it seem so simple. But that’s what greats do. Bygones never will be bygones..
Carson, you got the Blues in your voice! Sing more of that!
When I see a Doc Watson cover by The Other Favorites, I hit the like button before I even listen.
Josh, you and Carson really harmonize well together. I often wish I could play as well as you do. At 66 and a crushed left hand that will never happen. Enjoy your life, both of you....🙂
Have you tried switching to the other hand? Granted, it will seem like starting from scratch, but what else do you have going on?
@@brettbaxter7882 Hi Brett. Well I thought of it. But I wasn't very good at finger picking before I got old and stiff. Can't imagine how poor I would be now not to mention trying it wrong handed. Lol...be ssfe...be happy
I was a very close friend of Doc's. He would be proud to know you are carrying on his style of music. You would fit right in at MerleFest.
These guys are channeling some old long lost musicians who's souls have years of life's experiences.
I am left permanently stunned at the seemingly effortless virtuosity of Josh. It is properly astounding. It sort of just seems to flow and flow. Has there ever been anyone better? That a serious question. I am talking about all the greats. He up there them among 'em.
same arrangement Doc Watson did in the '60s except Josh appears to use open tuning and recording quality is better .Doc was awesome but in this case I think I like Josh
That's a fair call
I don't throw it around lightly, but he's a killer. There are a lot of them out there, but he has a lot going for him. I caught them way back when they posted the cover of 52 Vincent years ago and watched them grow. It's been really neat to see them stick together and continue to develop collectively and independently. Carson is no hack, by any means!
@@MrJDP1974 Same , thanks for posting !
Tommy Emmanuel ist pretty impressive too
"She said come back daddy, *oohh* I need you so".. Que instant full body chill bumps. Y'all are epic, damn.
A great old blues song transformed into a great bluegrass song.
What the heck just happened?! Am I really here listening to such perfection? 😳❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Doc Watson himself would be very impressed with this. Bravo!
I want him to be so much popular that to find his channel I'd search "Josh Turner" instead of "Josh Turner Guitar".
Love from India🍻
You guys are keeping me on this machine too long, wife probably thinks I am looking at girls or something. Sure do enjoy your talent and attitude.
These are two serious musicians. Looks like they just woke up and are tearing it up bed heads and all
Even Carson, a good guitar player himself, looked like he was impressed with Josh's guitar licks.
I think he's getting better. I'm not the best judge as I am a mediocre player at best, but it seems to me he has shifted from extremely competent to really mastering the instrument.
@@scottmcfadden386 Josh has always been able to play insanely well you can look at old videos of him when he was like 15... No one really masters it that's kinda just something people say. He still makes small mistakes the playing we see online is curated this could have been the 20th take probably like the 3rd tho
@@lurk7967 not many get it on the first take. The Eagles might do a hundred takes.
Rolled out of bed and the first thing I hear is this...what a wonderful way to start the day.
Doc Watson would be smiling. Nice as usual.
That D# note on let my peaches be is unbelievable. What a range he has. The guitar playing is not too shabby either.
Who can tell who enjoys this more, they playing or me listening.
Sometimes I listen to this for the awesome harmonies, sometimes for the incredibly clean guitar picking, sometimes just because it makes me happy but man I keep listening to it. This is so nice.!!!
Two rare talents. Shades of Doc Watson in the guitar work. Great stuff!
I thought the same thing.
See….these guys know the music’s about the feeling.
I love how these guys play so many different artists and classic songs from the past. I'm only 16 but I'm an old soul, drawn to this music. Billy Joel, Elton John, Billy Preston, The Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel and so many more. They have inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel and share my musical talents and to introduce these great artists to my generation.
Well said young man! Amen
Maybe you will have a UA-cam channel like Josh's soon!
My Gosh. The guitar work was clean and crisp. The vocals were dead on. Gentlemen, it's just a pleasure listening to your music.
Hey Josh,
So I watch an interview about how you read your comments, so I wanted to comment. I saw this video back in February, and it blew my mind. I’ve only hear the Cream version before this, and I was mind blown when I saw your take.
I loved it so much I decided to learn how to fingerpick so I could play it myself. 7 years playing guitar and I’ve never bothered to try. During this time, I was having a lot of heart problems, which made me very on edge because I am only 19. Everyday I would drive into work, the last song I would put on before I went in was this song, and I would sing along. It always made me so happy and relaxed.
Now it’s May and I can actually play the whole song, and I’m currently teaching my dad the vocal part so we can play and record it together.
Thanks,
Emma
The Everlys and Simon & Garfunkel of the 2020s! Great American musicians....
What a voice, what a guitarplayer. The new S&G. These guys are going places.
That bend at 1:28 is killer.
Carson took notice as well
That amount of talent is just unfair
One guitar and two voices......................Amazing.
Merci Josh à toi et tes amis c,est superbe.Merci aussi a you tub qui me permet de vous découvrir.Bernard France.😸
The best version of this song I have heard. Thank you.
That was sooo good! Had to spank my inner child to keep him from singing it continuously!! Don't stop...
Josh was always great, but Carson has improved so much vocally and in sheer self-confidence he's the ideal soul-mate to Josh's unassuming virtuosity.
So well said.
It’s a cold wet evening here in Holland....but these guys make it warm and cosy 💖👍☀️
Mee eens!!!
I like how Carson gets so happy hitting that low note early in the song. ;-) Great job guys!
Hmm. I wish I could add a like every time I watch this. Unfortunately I can only give one. I just love the vibe of this rendition. ❤
Tuned in because I was a think'n to my soul this must be the Cream version of "Sitting on Top of the World," from 67 or 8. I "play" the guitar. So, I know the guitar player in these videos is VERY talented. Just enough to make me a little green around the gills. You dig?
Love that deep root note...."leave my peaches be" Carson, what a vocal range! Great combination of voices and as usual, superb guitaring. Well done the two of you!
For real
Carsons voice is maturing brilliantly. Could listen all day...
I love the moment when Carson gets super impressed by Josh's guitar licks at 1:26, with the little raise of the eyebrows .... don't worry Carson, Josh is pretty good !!!
But that moment 1:57 when you start singing together is amazing.
I wish I could like this video twice, or even more. Thank you guys, what a trip ! ❤
Going old school with the reel-to-reel.
They guys just cant do no wrong. Always a pleasure.
I find this style of picking to be such a challenge, it’s so impressive the flawlessness and feel they have.
So great to hear two young players do Doc Watson's version. Our music is safe with guys like this around!
love it
Thanks man!
I did not expect to see James Marriott here! 😆😆
James is clearly lost 🤣
Hey James 😂
Super Stoked Carson is part of this Magic!!
Carson and Josh are rare gems I found on UA-cam. Great music, good job lads!
Such wonderful talent. Carson's voice is so beautiful, too!
You boys are second to none.
You two come as close to the sound known as "family harmony" as anybody I've ever heard. Truly an excellent performance, thanks to you both.
Fellow musician and guitarist here, flawless and sublime.
Doc Watson would be proud,
I thought I would never see a video of you with Carson again ... Top brother
One of Doc's finest fingerstyle performances.
One of my favorite Doc Watson recordings.
You can’t beat a good pair of singers that can actually do harmony properly, love it guys!💕💕
Doc Watson forever!
Sounds like some old Mississippi Blues. Great job fellas
In anything like normal times you would be filling venues. Thank you for sharing. When this country finally gets it's COVID-19 act together we will see you in person. We live in the right technology time such that artists can connect directly with an audience and you can bypass the old arbiters of what should be presented to us. Hang in there everyone and support performers online and in person however you can.
Didn't think anyone could do this better than Doc Watson but you just did! I know it was based on his arrangement but it was still hotter! Great job guys!
I dont know. No one could swing it like doc.
My 11 year old son just asked me dad how many times are you gonna listen to that song. When I stop smiling…
Dude.? Wtf. Such skills
Been with you guys since the beginning. Will be with you to the end.
Geez...how can anyone give a thumbs down for this. I've hear Sit-in... at least a hundred different ways. This is easily top three. Doc would be proud.
I'm transported back to the 70s Bluegrass festivals as a small child. I heard Jimmy Martin sing this one many times. What a great pick of a song!
The Mississippi sheiks live on!
Don’t normally comment but I have to hear … incredible voices .
Every now and then, some really talented people appear. And I’m not talking about most people on the radio these days. Keep up the good work, fellas.
...just amusing watching two young , clean cut wholesome boys who come from wholesome parents ...singing about how their baby left them ...the blues etc
No time to check out all the comments right now nor ever) but what a nice surprise ..to find..lovely pickin etc and what IS that guitar beauty please !
It's a 1961 Harmoney H-162 that was rebuilt by a guy named Morris Rowell. He changed the bracing on the top to an "X" pattern.
