Mr. Johnson, When I listen to you play w/eyes closed I'm right there in the pocket the whole way young man. But five yrs. ago I coded out TWICE (79 min. total) while receiving an 8-Way Bypass. Now my left hand speaks French Canadian and the right Sudwesterdeutsch. Is there a way, someway, anyway for them to communicate w/each other again? Point of Note; I played all my life upside down and backwards... I also never read sheet music, if I heard something once I could alway's just play it. My grandfather's Martin D-45 could sure use some love again!!! Much Love, God Bless.
I play guitar. This dude plays guitar also. I feel like a kid in his card board airplane watching a starship crossing the sky. Yeah.. that's about right.
--- Jimmy is making deliveries. A plume of dust rises barely above the trees behind the big black Dodge. He's speeding but not dangerously so. "Don't drive so dang fast!" grandpappy used to admonish him. "T'aint no room in 'dis business for showoffs! Jus' git yerself killed and wash the road with 'shine". Jimmy lets off the power, slowing precisely for his next stop. Grandpappy would've liked Jimmy's ride. It's fast, easy, and quiet. Just the sound of gravel crunching as he slows and turns off the road into the forest. --- OK sorry I am not from the south and the only thing I actually know about running 'shine is from watching 'dem Dukes when I was 12.
I had to think about Robert too, and Willie. Don't look at him when he tunes the guitar and plays you a song, just take the guitar back and play. Make sure its midnight in the moonlight, or he ain't gonna show. ;)
Living in India where most only listen to Indian music, a handful of people to metal and a vast majority to hiphop, rap and pop, I am happy I am one among the few who likes Justin Johnson, the blues and traditional Country. So proud of myself! Thanks Justin!
When I was a kid my mom took me to blues and jazz concerts that happened over several days once a year in Donaueschingen, Germany. I saw many blues greats, and jazz legends but this dude's finger pickin and slidin is just a cut above. always a pleasure @Justin Johnosn
Justin , I don't know if you'll see this but, I wanted to thank you for your excellent guitar playing especially with the resonator Dobrow, when I was a lad , my dad played his dobrow every day - my family all played usually mountain ( Hillbilly music) with family. he was a WW2 combat veteran and he died when I was 17 so I miss him very much. those notes coming out of that same guitar takes me back to those good old days. thank you Justin for making that old National sing her songs!
Haven’t watched this for about 5 months now but this song gives you that sense of invincibility like someday the mountain might get you, but the law never will. It’s infectious, it’s fizzy like ginger ale and it makes me wish I could play slide like that. DAMN SON!!! 🔥
Yayah just stumbled across this looking up slide guitar only been playing half a year this is a fucking fat jam shout out from west Auckland new Zealand much love and respect please keep it up.
Justin. I gotta tell ya. At 71 years young I've heard alot of guitar players. Many many awesome players. However, never in my life has the playing of the guitar, and in the style you play, touched my soul the way your playing does. Your playing strums the chords of my heart, and plucks the strings of my emotions. Sincerely. Thank you for that. And may you walk your path in peace and harmony. 😁.
Man, I cannot tell you how much I dig your style. If you posted a video without showing your face, or your epic backgrounds, or any of your rings, I would still recognize that fingerpick style. Exactly what I’m striving for.
In my dreams I play music that sounds like this. When I wake up, I can never get it to sound the same. I am a Bard and the Daughter of a Bard. I bow to the Master. You are the very best I have ever heard.
I also wanted to thank you for your live streams. You’re giving us a free concert. You don’t know how much I appreciate what you are doing. Your live streams really make my day. Thank you so very much! I love everything you play💖 Your playing is unbelieveable.!🤟🏻💖🥃🎸😎❤️, Karen
This is incredible. You single handily got me into slide blues after I saw one of your videos 5 months ago. Haven’t missed an upload since. In this craziness, it’s nice to know I’m still getting my slide blues from the man himself. Thank you.
There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said. Thank you JJ, (although that's been said too) you're helping us all more than you know...Cheers brother.
Just to let you know not because I want to try impress you or anyone else but I’ve been here for a few years now when you only posted a few videos! You just keep going non stop these days and you make it look so easy. You are not only a very incredible musician/composer but you are also an innovator of instruments and modifications! I’m not done! Okay so you are a sound engineer, equipment master, instructor, presenter, sample tester, entrepreneur, and so much more! You are authentic, kind, patient and generous of soul! I do not show who I subscribed to so I may not seem at all familiar. That’s okay but I want you to know that I’ve have been listening to and sharing you videos on many online platforms. Keep it up and stay safe! You really rock at being you.🌟 Blessing to you and all! love nissi
A man can be taught to play guitar such as myself. However, some such as Justin are simply born to play the strings. They have abilities that cannot be taught.
Very pretty. A wonderful feeling when what you're hearing in your head synchs up with what you're hearing in your ears. Thanks for this and for including the tuning. Thumbs up to crush a troll.
I've played for awhile. Then in an accident I lost the tip of my ring finger to the 1st knuckle. I tried left handed, but it just wasn't right. I had no hope until I watched this video. I learned I can still have music. Thank you
My brain is summoning up Jerry Reed and Burt Reynolds in the "White Lightning/Gator" films tearing up and down backcountry in snarling V8 runners. Love how perfect this sound is, man.
I’m new to guitar and I gave up after like a month because I was annoyed I wasn’t getting better and now I see this AMAZINGNESS!! My eyes and ears have been blessed, keep it up dude!
Cranking out another afternoon of solid gold for us damn shut-ins! I'm keeping my sanity with a few brews and music! Thanks Justin for keeping it real.
I like going to this page when i want to listen to music that actually has feeling. He reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughn but with a wild country side that ain't afraid to be different. Also want to say that you for making this music, I love the blues! 💖
I am 72 years old. What you have done for me, Justin, is made me wish I could roll the clock back at least 50 years and start learning the guitar. I discovered you because of Covid isolation (I was infected) and now I check in almost daily. Thanks for brightening my day, and my life.
Thanks for watching! Please Hit the SUBSCRIBE button while you're here! 😁

Cool description. Greatness inspires greatness. I wonder who Justin Johnson would say is his starship commander?
You're a poet my friend.... thanks
Yeah that’s damn right my man well said
Welcome to the Club lol
Once he felt the very same listening to some other great players)) Patience and constant hard work, my friend)))
Like the birds have to sing. Justin has to play ........we are so lucky
Really I think the same bro......
he is a fucking guitar god awesome
I learn so much from simply watching you play can't express how much you've influenced my blues playing
hi tyler, can we see what you are doing? be cool to see the follow on from justin. hugs xx
That's awesome! Rock on! Thx for watching and Thx for the Sub!
Same here. I saw the video about the jack Daniels whiskey guitar and was like damn I need to learn this
Oh.... me too... all I do is listen to Justin!
Me too
I can see the car racing down the dirt road with a load of moonshine and this song playing.🏁
AND I CAN SEE ME CHASING HIM TO HAVE A DRINK
AND I'M RUNNING AFTER HIM TO GET A JUG OF SHINE

Any chance we could get directions to the crossroads you went to?
Purely for scientific purposes, of course~
I went down to the crossroads just to catch a ride...
I had to think about Robert too, and Willie. Don't look at him when he tunes the guitar and plays you a song, just take the guitar back and play. Make sure its midnight in the moonlight, or he ain't gonna show. ;)
Shit, if he went to the crossroads, it was so he could teach the devil a thing or two
@@jrayproductions7790 anyone who’s been down to the crossroads knows the devil is the maestro

Crazy about Justin. Nobody better!!
He'd give Jerry Reed a heart attack!
@@joyceshealy5389 OMG think of the two of them playing together 🤯
Thank the good Lord that people who are talented, and Justin clearly is, are possessed enough to learn and share their talent.
There is no one like you, I appreciate the music you put on youtube very much. Seriously, the best guitar work IMO
My great grand papa was a moonshiner back in 1920 in south Texas. This song speaks to me.
Justin Johnson is a blues player legend
Yayah just stumbled across this looking up slide guitar only been playing half a year this is a fucking fat jam shout out from west Auckland new Zealand much love and respect please keep it up.
I liked the lighting in this video, there were a lot of soft shadows that made the music more natural and alive.
Every time I tell someone about Justin I simply tell them “you can’t believe how good he is” and this proves it. AMAZING !! Keep em coming
I put Justin all over fb...for the ones who don't know!
Every time you play the instrument sounds like it’s telling a story. It speaks from your Sole. Always!
Yep, no need for singing when the guitar does all the talking.
Soul. Couldn't help myself, spelling is my only talent.
😊
Well, he was tapping rhythm with his foot on the pedal

You play with so much passion & don't pop a sweat.
As a forever struggling beginner, these are the musicians who have an influence well and far beyond just giving birth to masterpieces!! Thanks Justin.
Why don’t more people know about you,
This is some of the most amazing guitar play ever
Diamond in the rough
My son is 3 and he was jumping all over the couch listening to this. Now I know how to burn his energy.
Great flow and very catchy :)
AWESOME. JUST AWESOME! I could listen to this all day. Thank you for sharing this with the UA-cam world.
THAT is how you play Blues guitar!
My friend Justin, he already kicking...and he’s CRACKED at guitar my guy
