I love that instrument and you play it brilliantly! I can hear the two thieves dancing on that runaway train. There is a hint of Mexico in there. So utterly brilliant. Thank you, Justin, for sharing all of this brilliance.
Brother, you are a breath of fresh air, straight out of our Mighty Creator's lungs. I'm almost ashamed I haven't heard of ya sooner. I just stumbled upon your channel, checkin' out home made cigar box & resonator guitars, etc, and POOF......there you are. Just subbed. Your free attitude, passion & styles have made my week. Discovering folks like you, are what makes Life so great. Killer tune!!! Thanks Brother!!!
Justin is a very exciting new school player. He brings in very attractive rhythm, VERY unique Cigar box tones...[ Not even SRV new about], and he is blues and in this case Gypsy savvy,,,,,,Django would of loved to hear him play this. GO, JJ, keep playing excellent guitar for us. god bless you.
still have not found a song I don't like, seems to get better & better with every new song I find (meaning I haven't heard yet). thanks man, your just awsome
Thanks guys!! Sorry I just logged on and saw the comments. @BlindKiwiBlues, the tuning is G C F Bb Basically, it's tuned to 4ths, starting on a G, that way you can use the same patterns you would use on the bottom 4 strings of a 6-string in standard tuning
@@bearwolffish I don't think he was tearing anyone down as such, just verbalizing his opinion about true talent vs. what masquerades as "music" & "talent" in the modern era of music.😎 Free Speech allows that I believe?🤔 It might be helpful to reflect and perhaps not be so precious in response to others opinions 😉 just a thought...🤪
Thanks ...Intro was so nice I alsmost cried ...sounds like flamenco and gypsy music with a mix of jazz and blues ...awesome combination ...I would love to hear a kind of flamenco music form you ..
Old video but a new comment. I love this tune! For me it sounds like it could be backing music to an old silent film. You know the one where the damsel in distress gets tied to the railroad tracks by the villain. A fight ensues with the hero and she is rescued in the nick of time. What a talent. If it has a string Justin can play it. It seems like back in the 90's everyone wanted 7 & 8 string guitars. Good to see Justin just absolutely own it on a four string cigar box guitar. I love it!
Discovering you since a few days. I always scroll down to the first release of musicians. Its really strongly enjoyable what I just heard. I will try to pick somes randomly in all your big catalogue of songs
I see a classic black and white film clip. Keystone Cops chasing Buster Keaton. You have such an amazing musical talent and I haven't stopped listening since I came across this channel. I'd love to hear you play Asturias.
Justin, This is a great piece, and I would love it if you would do a updated version with better recording equipment. This is the first time I've ever hit "subscribe" you are one talented guy. Best wishes to you.
5 dislikes??? How?? What?? Justin, you are an inspiration. I keep finding more and more of your vids and can't get enough. I am even growing my hair :-)
How can that guy sitting next to you sit so still? Just a little head bob occassionally?? Not to be mean but was he stoned or unconscious?? Great tune and picking.
Had to go back and watch the 1st video on the channel! You're such an inspiration dude, thank you so much for putting so much amazing music online!

Justin Johnson has music in his sole.
Truly amazing!
Playing this, you remind me a little of Django Reinhart, a favourite of mine. Awesome as ever Justin.
Brilliant playing. I watch and watch your video's over and over. Wonderful talent. Thank you .
Music needs more Justin Johnson's and less Kanye Wests. Incredible talent!
Music is the best when you just appreciate it all and don't try tare down others.

The creativity is INSANE
Not sure how he mastered all these different types of music so damn well.
Justin. Your knowledge and understsnding of the tuned string is unrivalled my friend.
This truly is a virtuoso performance
Fabulous ! Dressed like a business man, getting down to business.
Yup. Been a big fan for years, but I finally had to start from the beginning. JJ ROCKS!
2022 and still just as powerful as the day it was made!
mind blowing....just sublime guitar playing.
Thanks! :)
Justin Johnson and all on four strings...amazing

Very nice…reminiscing of Django

Wow that was something else
SENSACIONAL!!!
Wonderful playing!!! Love the Gypsy Jazz style.
I've seen 7 string guitars before, but never an 8 string guitar! Woa! And I can't even do a 6 string justice...
You can definitely tell Django Reinhardt is one of your main influences. Awesome playing 🤘🏻🤘🏻
5 dislikes??? How?? What?? Justin, you are an inspiration. I keep finding more and more of your vids and can't get enough. I am even growing my hair :-)
Bravo.

Mad skills!!
Love it!
This rocks
Magic just F'in magic

Django would be proud!
Wow, I didn't know you could do that with four strings.
Visions of Glenn Campbell✨🎶🎵
I hear some Django Reinhart simply amazing ! On less strings .

How can that guy sitting next to you sit so still? Just a little head bob occassionally?? Not to be mean but was he stoned or unconscious?? Great tune and picking.
👏👏👏
Better than good!
..a white shirt and tie!?!
Well, I guess if you are going to dance and rob a train, you gotta dress the part.
👍👍. ☺️
Justin, I hope your Blues Jr. has been modded with the Bill M mods!
YO! Damn dude
