Did you just contact me thru a WhatsApp with a phone number, placing me “ on a short list” for some prize?
Saw ZZ Top when they opened for the Rolling Stones in the 70's. Because someone stole our tickets and the gate agent saw that, they let us in and told us to just stand in front of the stage! I was within 10 feet of them. The absolute worst day of my life turned into the best day of my life. Amazing band to open for the Stones and amazing Stones concert after that. What a high!
Damn. That's something! Glad you all were taken care of!
Justin Johnson is a rare gem in the world of guitarists, an artist whose mastery of the instrument transcends genres and expectations. Known for his unique approach to blues, roots, and Americana, Johnson’s playing is a seamless blend of technical prowess and raw emotion, with an ability to make even the simplest melodies resonate deeply with his audience.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Justin Johnson’s artistry is his profound connection to the history of the guitar. His repertoire spans a variety of instruments, from the traditional six-string to cigar box guitars, resonators, lap steels, and even shovel guitars. Each of these instruments, in Johnson’s hands, becomes a vehicle for storytelling, evoking the rich heritage of American roots music. His dedication to preserving this heritage is not just about playing notes-it’s about channeling the spirit of the past into the present, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.
Johnson's technical ability is astounding. Whether fingerpicking intricate blues patterns or playing slide guitar with soul-stirring precision, he navigates the fretboard with an ease that speaks of countless hours of dedication. His playing is clean, yet full of character, never losing the emotional depth that makes blues music so captivating. He manages to combine complex techniques with a deep groove, creating music that is both intellectually stimulating and rhythmically compelling.
However, what truly sets Justin Johnson apart is his ability to evoke emotion. Listening to his music feels like an intimate conversation, one where every note carries meaning. His phrasing is impeccable-sometimes delicate and subtle, other times bold and fiery, always perfectly suited to the mood of the piece. His performances aren’t just about showing off technical skill; they are about creating an emotional experience for the listener. Whether he's playing a haunting Delta blues melody or an upbeat country-inspired tune, Johnson’s passion is palpable.
His versatility is another defining feature. While Johnson is often categorized as a blues guitarist, his music is a fusion of various genres, including rock, folk, jazz, and even classical influences. This genre-blending allows him to create a sound that feels familiar yet innovative, drawing in listeners from all musical backgrounds. His ability to move effortlessly between different styles is a testament to his deep understanding of music and his fearless approach to composition.
Beyond his impressive musicianship, Justin Johnson is also a passionate educator. Through his online tutorials and workshops, he shares his knowledge and techniques with a global audience, making his style accessible to players of all levels. His teaching is characterized by the same generosity and warmth that defines his performances, making him not only a gifted player but also a mentor to aspiring musicians.
Justin Johnson is a guitarist whose talent, versatility, and deep connection to the roots of American music make him one of the most compelling musicians of his generation. His ability to blend tradition with innovation, coupled with his emotional expressiveness, ensures that his music resonates with a wide audience. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Johnson consistently delivers performances that are as technically impressive as they are soulfully moving. He is not just a master of the guitar; he is a true artist, capable of transforming simple strings and wood into a medium for profound expression. www.candiano.com
Very few people should even cover ZZ Top songs. But this might be the best cover of one of their songs ever performed. You’ve got a talent unlike anyone, man. 🤘🏻♠️🤘🏻
Took the words out of my mouth..
Absolutely brilliant man. 🎸👍
Absoloutly.
Bravo Sir, Bravo. If I had a theme song that played every time I made an entry into a new place I would have you to play it and my exit as well
Why do you think that very few people should cover them ? I had the best time playing zz top songs in a tribute band , I am not that good at guitar but learning ZZ Top songs improoved my right hand like I was not expecting , my bendings , my soloing , my power chords , my use of volume and tone knobs , my sound overall , my blues , Billy F. is a big vault full of precious things . And the same goes for the guys playing the bass guitar and the drums , they learn a lot from the songs : ZZ Top are such a superior band , of course we can not play it like them but they are stll a great school .
This is too cool.
Dusty is tapping his toes looking down.
Or up. 🤘🏻♠️🤘🏻
@@preciousmetalhead5155 Hell is for jackass's. Dusty was no jackass
If Justin Johnson isn't one of the happiest people on earth then there is no hope for the rest of us mere mortals. Thank you for each and every day, Justin!
OMG, this is amazing. I hope Billy Gibbons hears this. Right from the opening, it is totally sick. Well done.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m sure Billy would love it
Likewise, I am thinking the same. It would be awesome if Billy Gibbons invited Justin on stage to perform a guitar duet - whether it's with ZZ Top or one of Billy Gibbons' solo projects.
👍💯
Totally needs to happen.
Today's Ry Cooder. I've been playing for 55 years, but I have to say Justin has more talent in one finger than I have in my whole body.
This guy is so ridiculous, I LOVE it. "And up next, Mozart on 3 spoons, and I'm only using my toes!" Truly impressive how he always manages to capture the essence of the song. Keep going, please, Justin!
Everytime a wonderful musician dies, Justin here takes over his power. It seems to have started back in 1990 with Stevie Ray...
Easy dude
I'd that even true?
ADMIT IT, JUSTIN!!! YOU BURIED YOUR HEART AT THAT CROSSROADS AND SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR THIS TALENT :-D
This whole video is just dripping with style, from the licks to the get up, to the backdrop. Love it
I could listen to him all day. He is one of the best!!
I do…..🎸
Guy doesn’t say much with words ,,,,his guitar playing speaks volumes
I love it when you mashup Delta Blues with Rock, especially CLASSIC ROCK, and ESPECIALLY moreso... on the Resonator!!! Always a thrill, Justin! 🐺
I love it ALL!!! 💫🎶🕺🎸🎶🌌💕
Love it!!!!
Yep, that sound is coming straight from the other "Ghosts of Mississippi"!
What exactly is "the resonater ??
@@maryhansen8674 Hi Mary. It's the type of guitar Justin is playing. The body is made of metal and the circular piece in the middle helps the whole body resonate with that ringing sound it produces. Nobody had answered you, so I thought I'd let you know. Cheers!
His tempo and timing are like a metronome. That’s very important and more players need to pay much more attention to intervals in their music. They can be manipulated with art and skill but have to be done to cause suspense so the listener’s natural internal metronome can feel the resolution when the rhythm drops right back into the perfect interval/tempo.
I appeciate the fact that Justin tells you he' in open G. Helps me figger out this most excellent cover of an all time great song. Thanx Justin!!!!
FR. Posting his tuning is a legend move always.
Open G, such a civilized tuning! As a banjo picker, I approve! LOL! Justin never ceases to deliver, and this is just more confirmation.
I can tell how you feel about this song, Justin. You did it justice. God bless.
I always loved the sound of the slide guitar since I was a little in the 60s and the Hawaii style sound that gives it that bluegrass twangy sound.
Love me some slide, as well...Duane Allman was the one for me, after that, I was addicted. Slide such an expressive style, just made for the Blues!
I've always said, if you're gonna cover a classic like this one, it better be really cool! Sounds like you heard me!
Wow....I've been listening to 'blues' guitar for near 60 years and this takes some beating.....FABULOUS
Making it look so easy but for us mere mortals you are a Guitar King!
I HATE Justin for making it look so dang easy!!! I've said it on another of Justin's eye- (and ear!) -popping products that it takes ferocious talent to make it appear to be so SMOOTH AND EFFORTLESS!
It's definitely not easy, you're right in the money!
I'd really love to hear Fleetwood Mac's 'Stop Messin round' given this treatment.
Killer playing as always man, gotta love that slide on a Gretch, nicely done. 🤘
Justin is a prime example that a man can never have too many guitars. Just look in the background! WOW
there is no way Justin owns his own soul.
he had to have sold it at the crossroads to play the way he does. amazing!
Thank you Justin. After 50 years of playing guitar I switched to sliding guitar. You are the best teacher and sliding king.
Definitely need to do a version of I can’t dance by Phil Collins as well. Awesome guitar playing!!!!!
yeah I heard it to. was jamming to it haha
Genesis, ackskskskshuallaully
@@codystewart1014
So, me too))) Well done!
It sounds _.......right!_
That's the way it should have sounded the first time!!!
Звучит шикарно! Спасибо за твою музыку, приносит море удовольствия
"Down in Mexico" by the coasters with a delta blues vibe would be fire ️️🔥️🔥️🔥️🔥️🔥️🔥 also Nancy Sinatra's "bang bang"...i reckon most of songs from Tarantino's movies would deserve a delta blues version made by Mr Johnson...but Down in Mexico must be a hit imho
This x1000! Down in Mexico would sound so amazing coming from Justin. Where can we sign a petition? 😄
My favorite band, nicely done as always Justin!
That's what I'm talking about the man is so good love to meet you come to Louisiana sometime this weekend
I love the timing of the head bob at 1:55.
So great to go home with you for a few minutes back to my blues roots...
Sitting here in Cambodia listening to this is a real joy..thanks for all of your videos!
Its such a fun tune. It “slides” right into Delta style. I do a harp cover, and it’s good, but, I think you got me beat. Sweet playing. Smooth.
Outstanding with the slide! Best cover ever. Rock on, man.
EVERY TIME, IS MAGIC
That is so sweet man I can listen to that kind of stuff all day long especially something we can all recognize but putting your own little twist to it right on brother
Love everything JJ plays on the Resonator❣️ hell I love everything he puts out❣️ y'all should get his CD's. Great music❤️❤️JJ❤️❤️
Luv the sound of this guitar. Excellent cover.
Justin, я Вашу музыку начал слушать на сайте В Контакте аудио записи они уже и там есть классно!!!А вообще я Вашу музыку слушаю с 2019 го года!
В гараже когда ремонтирую мотоциклы у меня на полной громкости в гараже звучит музыка Justin в общем крута!!!
👍
Love zz top and love your music Justin bith together is awesome
Блин, как же все таки слайд гитара круто звучит, спасибо это прекрасно!
Damn, how cool does a slide guitar sound, thanks, it's great! Theres the translation. Your Welcome.
Listen Vania to your balalaika:)
Every morning Justin gets out of bed and straightaway reaches for today's guitar. He then plays it more or less all day long, before finally and regretfully putting it back and going to bed; from where he gazes at it longingly until sleep consumes him and he plays in his dreams.
I can't prove it but I know it's true.
Epic mashup JJ! This is easily the best cover of this song I've heard!
Wow. That was intense. Wounderfull..
Amazing As Always,Love It,Now I Play It Again...Thanks for Sharing This Great Talent With Us..Love & Prayers Always..Rock On 🤘🖤🔥
Wicked. That's was a great cover of ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man, and to me you've honored it. I loved it.
I listened to a few of your "If 'blank' was Delta Blues..." covers, and this one finally made me subscribe, because I knew I needed to hear more. Playing the vocals tracks, while keeping the melody and bass line is so hard to do. Amazing.
this is the best version of this song
Oh hell....I rented this video 32 times out of my local video shop.... back in the day?.....I'm 53 now, and still love it....
He makes it look sooooo easy!
That makes my heart smile
2 things I never tire of. Cold beer and listening to J.J play guitar.
Ooooooh, Yeah ! Sounds so good played this way . ✌️ ✨🌟🎸✨ Best wishes from UK 🇬🇧 ❤️🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for YOUR MAGIC, WIZARD!!! I AM listening to YOU practically 24/7. I AM Calmed & Soothed in IT. SENDING MY LOVE💋💋💋
I didn't have to watch first before clicking like because I know anything that Justin plays is gonna be killer.
Man do you put a smile on my face!
Quite the gift he has!
Nobody Does it like Justin Johnson with the delta blues The Rock and not to forget the slide guitar skills
So good it turns my glass of Italian grappa in a JD shot 👍🏼
🌊Aloha Mahalo Justin
a TWOsday day
a second Justin version 🦈🦈
& this sharp! shiny 2nd hand
guitar from E-bay
Daaaam! Justin can ROCK!!
Ask ZZ Top
All I can say is Fabulous
I've always thought of Justin Johnson as a sharply dressed man👍
Hey bro you're a fucking inspiration, in my recent depression I'd forgotten the raw beauty in an acoustic guitar...until now that is...
"(As) ALLways the BEST" !!! 😍😍😍
Billy and Justin would be a sick colab!!
Great playing JJ! Love the sound of the tin can guitar! You shaved some dust off my ears, thank you buddy
Whaou beautiful rendition, you have a big dexterity in your fingers, well done and like 👍 good evening Jean Marc 👏👍👏👍🎸🎵🎸🎵
Im a lifelong lover of all Blues and would be like a bucket list thing for me to lay the Bass down behind Justin Johnson ripping it up!💯🙏 Great playing bro so much feeling in everything you play👍
I know it’s asking for a free lesson, but such a highly recognizable and loved song would make a perfect candidate for highly detailed instructional video in this technique. Everything stops when a JJ video is on-stunning cover as usual
I swear JJ , you and that HoneyDipper make beautiful music together , even Uncle Billy would be grinning and stompin`. Regards .
Soul therapy!
dannngs Justion just likea juke box you can play any thing thats smoooooth justin Love it im a die hard ZZ top fan Dusty would be proud
I just discovered open G tuning, it's amazing how many cool songs are played using it
This isn't originally in the Spanish tuning i don't think, he just arranged it on there. You're absolutely right though, like the whole rolling stones catalog
Great to see good music played excellently. If only people could come to the realisation that LOUD doesn’t make listening better.
Justin just did justice !
You're not a guitar player your a magician. Great job
Nobody can do the blues like our man, Justin!
This sounds f****** awesome.
Now that was a visual and acoustical treat for the senses. Thank so much
After work this and a jar of tea and JD all i need to let myself feel at home
I'm a solid Beatles and oasis fan but I will always put Justin on to give me inspiration to make my own slide blues.to take a break from oasis and beatles.justins just amazing addictive and hard not to get hooked
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! ⬆️ up next… Jesus just left Chicago…👍🤘🏼👏🎸
Everything about that was first class. Wonderful.
This has such a great vibe. Last night I was listening to Creed's version of "Riders in the Storm", wondering what you would do to the song. Have a great week!
I have always been tossed up between National Steel and Gretsch G9221 Bobtail Steel...Not any more!! WoW!!
Your skill is astounding and I love these uploads and it also occurs to me that if 17 year old me had learned Delta Blues instead of trying to be the next Kirk Hammett I may have had a future in music.
Definitely one of my top favorites so far! Keep on rockin', Justin!
So much one guy can get out of one instrument. Very enjoyable to listen to. Well done JJ.
YOU ARE a sharp dressed man fo show, luv this delta tune ❤️ 🤘 🎶 🎸
So nice to just listen to! 👍👍
Players that get that sound like they have a couple of other players backing them never cease to impress me.
He's Just(in) Amazing, folks.
Love it! Love you! 💜
This dude is a finger pick'n freak of nature. In the stereo audio dimension.
Thank you! Loved watching "Shark dressed man" when that played last fall. Much love.
Love it! I aspire to be SOMEWHAT efficient with my slide work. The countless hours of practice I see you put into your videos is incredibly admirable, you don’t see too many people motivated enough to do that anymore!
Just a SICKKKK cover! 💯💯🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
hell yeah from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the literally birth place of Rock n' Roll.
That is God given 1in a million talent.
