Over the last year, I've gotten a lot of requests for a fingerstyle cover of @ericclapton's "Tears in Heaven," so I wanted to send this out to anyone whose been wanting or needing to hear it. It's such a sad song lyrically, but I always appreciated how hopeful the music felt... with the melody and arrangement dropping down into minor, only to resolve back into major tones, and lifting up into the major key change for the bridge. I think it's that tug of war between light and dark that makes blues music so helpful when people are feeling bad, because it reminds them that, no matter what challenges they're facing, they're not alone out there.

Don't think Mr.Clapton can play close to your skills performance amazing technique with extra colouring not boring at all....Even with out vocals sounds better then original...Excellent composition styling in your playing 😎
You are an incredible musician. I'm always amazed at your playing. And your custom guitars!
Juste magnifique cette interprétation ! J'aime beaucoup les guitaristes qui mettent de l'âme dans leur son. La musique n'est pas juste un débit de notes , mais de là sensibilité.
This tune always brings the rain, because it makes me think of my son in heaven😢 gone too soon😢 beautifully done 💜Justin💜
I'm sory to hear that .I've lost alota people in my life .it always hurts. Wishing you well
God bless you Robbyn, sorry he’s not here.
Feel with you.Let God cosole you ,and give you faith to meet him in heaven some day.Wish you all best!
@@bobymox thanx boris.i realy appreciate the kind words of wisdom 🖤👍👍👍😷
I know that feel bro 😢
I love guitar! I can go from Steve Vai to Glenn Campbell, from Roy Clark to Stevie Ray Vaughan to Clapton. I can listen (and love) Flamenco, blues, hard rock, country, classic etc. Now my point is this: As I listen to this young man, what is it that makes his music stand out so much? Any Guitar player can find and execute chords (even me! 😜), thousands upon thousands can finger pick, so what makes him so damn good? The standard explanation is things like he feels the music (which he most certainly does) , hours upon years of practice (witch is surely true) etc.etc. But I think his impeccable, masterful, timing and inner sense of melody is on a level seldom reached, even by professionals. Even though I love to listen to Vai, Vaughan or Hendricks, you can’t help from occasionally feeling their playing fast, just to play fast to prove they are good. Justin never lets his abilities upstage the music. In short, he gets it. Just close your eyes and listen.......beyond the notes and find the smoothness. After so many years, I have really found the G.O.A.T.......Justin Johnson.
Justin F E E L S each song (and lyrics), arranges a special, and unique, version in his head, his fingers, timing, loud-softness on each note is only decided (in real time), as he actually PERFORMS/records the video.
(my guesstimation).... you've been chording/noting a long time... maybe longer than me (64 1/2 years). You know....because you play that way, too. Justin just has his own, unique style and "feel" for each musical piece.
Loved your comment....I read every one you make here. Good stuff.
Doug aka "Crossbow" (BMI, songwriter), etc.)
@@douglasfuqua7082 ... thanks , Doug! Yep, we get what this young man's getting! And I been plinking/plucking for over 60......but I don't sound like this, and that's ok cause I got him to listen to. Have a good day, sir. Nice talking!
@@g-palloyd3600 you, too. Keep "tickling" those strings !!!
@@douglasfuqua7082 👍
This post is spot on. Thanks for breaking it down and sharing!
That's what separates a artist from a musician. You hear the artist play and you can recognize them. Keep that sound Mr Johnson.
100% true.
@Vladimir bud if you think so. There are few that are imitated but never will they be the original. Such as Jmi Hendrix, Steveie Ray Vaughn , Jo Bonamassa, BB King, Albert King, Robert Cray, and let's not forget the king himself Robert Johnson. Now you can sound like them sure, but to be them nah. Justin Johnson ranks among these legendary performers. So sit down be calm play the blues and carry on.
Vladimir, ninguém pinta igual ao outro. Ninguém tem a mesma mão, o mesmo feeling, a mesma visão, a mesma audição. Muitos não ultrapassam as barreiras que a si próprio impõem.
Vladimir, nobody paints like the other. No one has the same hand, the same feeling, the same vision, the same hearing. Many do not go beyond the barriers they impose on themselves.
@Vladimir wow that must be some high horse your ride there bud. Got you all in your feelings. Don't take it personal it's my opinion, and as I have said opinions are like assholes everyone had one :Most of them stink. I'm glad that there are people like you. Those live by what I think is right kinda people. I'm more of a live day to day guy. Three strokes and ptsd im kinda glad. I'm not going ape shit on you like you are on me but you know it takes all types. So like I said before be calm carry on and live your life. I will think twice before crossing a bridge on here again. Trolls like you all to common. Plus I was just trying to tell jj what I think. So keep your opinion to yourself plus invest in a dictionary. Artist and musician have two totally different definitions.
@Binamra Sharma An anapodoton is a rhetorical device in which a main clause of a phrase that is not mentioned is implied by a subordinate clause that is mentioned. Some of such expressions are idiomatic. That's like the definition I found hell if I know
As someone recovering from PTSD, your rendition is very healing - going from dark to light. Beautiful, Justin. Thank you.
My brother had just passed away when I heard this song for the first time I was really young but I can remember when I found out I asked my mom where is Robert, and she didn't say anything and I remember asking if we going to to go see him and she still didn't answer me. So, I asked her if went to heaven and she just started crying. I remember asking that cause he was very sick, with cancer and I remember the reason I asked was because of this song. I must have only been 4 or 5 years old. Thanks for this Justin I love this song and it always bring a bid of sorrow to me but also it makes me grateful. I am the same age now as my brother was when he passed away.
If there is a heaven I am sure your brother is in...
@@gowwar491 I agree with you
I PRAY you are well, and my condolences. I lost my son 01Feb21 so I feel ya.
@@gowwar491Heaven IS A FACT AND REALITY,!! One day, very soon, we will see our lived one's again!! Accept the Holy Lord, Jesus Christ, who gave His life for all our sinners and you WILL be in heaven soon🙏🏻 Never doubt the Lord Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I can't imagine that anybody plays a cover of this song with more heart and "audible" emotion - I hope Eric Clapton will hear it, too.
Such a beautiful song, but putting the JUSTIN spin on it, makes it even more beautiful!! Every song you play, its obvious, you have taken them, and walked a mile in them, feeling them, projecting the messages they bare. I cant help but love you, beautiful man, with such a talent, that make the tears swell from my eyes!
NOBODY COULD SAID IT BETTER THAN YOU JUST DID! 🕊💗💞💗🕊
3:20 Love when I like a specific part of a song then rewind to it to find out it is the Most Replayed
More than style, flair and musicality, there is heart in this music.
4:30 am listening to it rain outside, and this tune could not be more appropriate.. beautiful!!!.. those tears are falling from heaven..
Who needs a voice, when you can play like this?!
Love the Clapton esque string bends you've added to this piece.
Such a poignant song, full of soul and a father's heartbreak.
I look at my Son and think, How do you get over the loss of a child?
You don't!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written , born of such unimaginable pain ! Nice cover , I'm sure with due respect given . Well done Justin , as always !
As a person with a terminal cancer, I find this so comforting. Thank you Jason
TEARS IN HEAVEN" I was crying to The Lord Night before last.
Lost my Dog near Pine Mt. Observatory yesterday, spent the next 12 hrs looking for him. Hiked 15 mi. yelling my lungs off and completely lost my voice. Couldn't stand or walk any further so tried to get some rest, Cried Out to The Lord with all my heart and wept.
About 4am. he found me on the trail. I Thank God I Praise God!!!
Harley is my most loyal and best friend.
I never hiked so far, so hard for so long in my life-(15mi steep rugged terrain).
I was physically and mentally exhausted, honestly just about killed me, I prayed the Lord take me and save him. I'm still sore all over and trying to recover.
Pine Mt. is the Extrem Way Way Way OutBack of central Or.
And one of the "Darkest" places on earth. We 4x4'd into the most remote and highest place.
I was just talking about my granddaughter who passed away 16 years ago, and to come home to see you posted this Justin. I thank you for this as I know she is with God. She knew 1 month before she passed that she was going to leave this earth. My granddaughter Alyssa told her mom (my daughter) 1 month before she passed that she was going to die in a fire and it was coming soon. 1 month later she passed away in a fire but God protected her body as her bed was never touch by the flames. the whole house burnt except a complete circle around the bed was burnt but God must have shielded the inside of that circle as her body wasn't touched. The firemen said they couldn't understand what they saw and starting crying. Alyssa was 5 years old and God called her home for a reason. Thank you for this beautiful playing of Tears In Heaven.
I have stopped listening to Spotify because of this guy it's just way to relaxing to hear him play
There u go... You guys can really comment😂
He is so good.... his finger picking at all time high...
You know he's on spotify
@@tobystrickland5986 hahah
I just lost my best friend . He loved your music and it soothed his mood in the final days of his life. Very grateful that he had that to relax to.
I don't usually like 'covers' of certain songs, but this version in no way detracts any emotion from the original. Dare I say it almost, no, it definitely deepens the emotion. Masterfully done. And on a guitar from my home country.
What is this guitar?
Beautiful, I love this song. I sang it to my brother while passed. He had a big tear to fall in his last breath. Rip RDW❤
My gosh Justin, that is absolutely the most beautiful and amazing cover of “tears in heaven” that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing !!! Eric Clapton would be very honored to hear you play this, and trust me, I’m NOT exaggerating, Eric is a very humble and honest soul ... he would love ❤️ your rendition of his beautiful song ... an all time classic !!!
Well played, Justin. Such a sad song. Rest in peace, Conor Clapton.
I think it was more than one piece
@@sharongroat8103 So offensive
@@cabbuccino5558 they're just doing it for attention because of shock factor. Not worth even relying to that.
how did you know ? that's what I needed. I lost my mother this date several years ago but not a day goes by without her in my heart & thoughts. thank you- just thank you again
Beautiful, close your eyes and listen to this, you can feel the music!
Wow, that's achingly beautiful Justin. Bravo, bloody bravo 👏👏
I was already calm, relax, and serene, and yet, i was even more serene and peacefull while listening, i'm loving it
Duuuuuuuude! Some good ol Clapton with a Justin Johnson twist !Most Excellent!
Singing and playing the blues brought me strength and a little bit of dough too. Such a poignant song for these times, but with a reminder that it doesn't end when we leave this world. Love your rendition.
I can here a soulful Eric clapton singing through that chunky guitar. Sounds awsome. Nice acoustics. Like playing in a tunnel.
Just beautiful..... this was played at my nephews funeral.... cancer got him aged 10....... everytime I hear this beautiful song it rips my heart out..... you do it justice mate..... Josh would have loved your interpretation 👍🙏
Once I saw the title i knew that this would be smooth and calm
His interpretation of this song is unmatched and in my opinion unmatchable. Close the book.
Beautiful version of a classic piece. The tone from that guitar is incredible
I cannot believe Justin’s channel is below 1 million subscribers! He should have at least 3 million subscribers given his musical talent and guitar crafts he had posted. Keep up your great guitar artistry. Thank you for the inspirations and sharing.
Eric called, said he loved it.
Your arrangement of this already beautiful song brings it so much further.
What a beautiful sounding guitar, rich, full body tone.
I think this song was the peak of the type of music Clapton was looking for but it took the death of his son to do it. You played it beautifully. It represents the lost and recovery of emotions that everyone experiences.
Unbelievable! So crisp and clean sound on that guitar. Of course one the very best playing it! Huge fan of all your renditions of all tunes you play. I will always enjoy listening.
I love swampy blues,yhe muddier the better...BUT your transcriptions of important music touchscreen my heart and sends my soul around the moon. Thank you! Namaste always...
I love singing this to my wife because it reminds us of our daughter melody in heaven. Very beautifully played Justin ❤
Beautifully, and respectfully honored cover.
Justin, everything you play is amazing and it's because you are good medicine; thinking and living soulfully and thoughtfully. You make the world a better place!
Man, the tone you're getting sounds pretty heavenly.
Edit: That was really beautiful, Justin. Thank you for that.
tbh just pick a single note and listen carefully. its just a good guitar. the heavenly tone is in his fingers ...

PS, thanks for providing such great sheet music, too!
This is a heart wrenching rendition. Wow!! Incredible how you pull emotions with you’re incredible talent.
Knowing its history . This tune is the tune that always makes me cry. Thanks for playing it with such style Justin.
That was lovely. I'm very impressed with the Smoothtalker Guitars and the soothing way you have of playing them. Thank you, M.M.
Man, Justin is one of those artists who is so smooth and talented they make their craft seem absolutely effortless! it's only when you actually pick up a guitar yourself and try to play you realize & appreciate the amount of skill and work it would take to play at this level. This was a beautiful take on this song. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Justin your music and covers are a gift thank you
Because of his strong Hope (One does hear it) We still have Eric Clapton with us
Thank You for this cover today - strengthen my hopes here. Stay well there please
The Intro was Heavenly too 💟⚡
Their is healing in tears. Thank you for that little bit of healing Justin.. I just love your leads So hart felt and moving:)
You have the right volume for a song. If it’s soft or loud. Thanks again for sharing.
Another Blessing to hear from A Superior Artist, Thanks again Mr Johnson
Honestly, just mesmerizing... you make it look so easy! The Lord has truly blessed you with a gift!!
Stunning and beautiful!! Thank you for covering this one.
A real pleasure to hear and watch you play. Just got back to guitar after many years. I am encouraged to keep practicing when enjoying your wonderful playing. Thank you very much.
Another incredible gift from Justin to all of us.
If our Lord could only gift me Justin's talent for one song in my life. I can only imagine his joy of creating such beautiful music.
Have been playing this song on my Cole Clarke this week too - such a beautiful song and nicely done Justin
Oh my heart breaks. I’ve missed this. The spin on the bridge is too good.
Thanks!
You inspire me like no other.and I'm getting better little by little everyday.. I went need to be in a band but love playing stuff like this for my own pleasure ..losing myself in it if I can play it. But I'm not as good as you..so glad I found out about your second channel
My eleven-year-old is just picking up his first guitar, to get him motivated I show him your videos. His grandfather gave him a late 1920's to early 1930 Gretsch Dobro res. for Christmas, what a different sound it renders. Hope to hear him one day play half as well as you.
@Another Wacko that would be nice!
I really don't mean it as a bad thing, I just know how he gets lazy unless he is really into it.
I'm sure clapton himself would weep to this version , fantastic mr johnson
Génial Clapton, what a Guitarist !
Beautiful playing Justin !
Thanks for your Words !
Take care of you and all around you.
That was so beautiful! Touched my soul!
I have been a fan of yours for a while now but this version blows me out of the water. You are so talented.
Very well done Justin. Really nice playing and that is such a beautiful guitar, much love and respect from Ireland mo chara, you have inspired me to play my guitar today so many thanks from across the pond x.
i really love the sound of this guitar. oh my it gives me chills
I can only hope that Eric Clapton has watched this video
Eric and his son have to be more than pleased with your special rendition of this iconic tribute and I can only describe it as :
Purity of the utmost eloquence of melody and harmony naturally resonates the heavens of angelic bliss here in and forever quaint !!!!!
Well done Mr. Johnson !
That's one way to start a morning. Bawling lol 🤣 love that song.
Right?!!
*patpats your back* its ok man. Tough times for all of us but you don't need to go about it alone ^^
@@tailsdblack463 nah my dude, I'm good. It's just the song. Knowing what it's about and seeing it played so beautifully is a very powerful thing
I feel the same
It is amazing how well you take songs and put your own twist to them.
Truly an artistic talent far greater than the physical talent of picking the notes.
Your style is amazing! I could seriously listen to you forever!!
Justin's music is the best therapy anyone could ask for. Impossible to feel stressed while listening to this beautiful music. ❤
the sound is jus outstanding...perfectly played..loving this.🤙🤙
Oh god!!! That tone... so beautiful!
Love how you can take other music and make it your own! Also appreciate the angle you film these in. Makes it easier to see what your up too. I finger pick most everything I play the last few years. Never really used my thumb till I started watching your stuff. My picking thumb knows what it's doing, but my cord thumb is stubborn. But I'll get there. Keep'm coming!
What ever kind of guitar it is I bet the average person can't afford one, if they even make them.
Love this one too! It would be so nice if you had an album of solos like this one & 'dust in the wind', etc. I'm recovering from major surgery,& listening brings me peace. ❤
Very nice guitar. Not to mention the performance.
Mr Johnson, Thank you for making the Emotions be heard through your guitar! Only truly gifted musicians could play the pain that Eric Clapton put through this song to find Peace within himself. The harmonic balance Was prestigious thank you again!
Niiice. And that guitar is awesome. The sound, no offense, props to you too. Awesome. Thank You
This song always make me cry coz I miss staying with my son due to my work. But well done Justin. You're a true legend 🙏🙏
Played this song at my son's funeral there was not a dry eye in the place i miss him so much
I would LOVE to see a video of Justin jamming with Billy Strings. Both excellent players and they both have something special , would be a great watch/listen.
So Justin if you read this , please make it happen.
Гениально!
Such a beautiful song
The road to 1 million.. just hopped on the bus, be there soon 💯
Oh wow Justin, one of my favourite renditions....you are a master of your craft🙌✨🎼you are so dam Epic, never change✨🙌💪🎼🎸🙌🙌🙌🎸🎸🎸
My dad was an Indian Army.
He was killed in an ambush 😭
Everytime I hear this song.
It reminds me of my dad incidents. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven 😭
Damn! Where did he die?
Mindblowing !!! Love that sound and reverb... His hat, Jack Daniel's. Everything is perfect!
Legend has it the longer Justin's hair grows, the better he plays.
absolute masterpiece - I don't know why but for me Cirrus left town is even sadder - Rest in Pease Connor - God bless you and God bless Justin for his incredible talent and willingness to share his gift with us! Thank you!
Very nice, cool guitar, Ciao! du Québec
Looking at the comments, some expressing great loss, as a new grandpa to a lovely bouncing boy, I so appreciate what you have done Justin.
Justin, we need a tab for this one.
Just watch and learn u can see hands whole time
This made me smile 'n cry at the same time......Beautiful as usual Justin! Love 'n prayers everyone.
What type of guitar is that dude? It sounds really bright
It's a Smoothtalker OM model. Check out the details in the info on this video, and it tells you more about it. I also have an unboxing video on it here: ruclips.net/video/uNC-rLHME94/видео.html
Beautuful and love that guitar!!
You must be new here? Welcome!
Yep.....Fantastic tone!
One of the richest tones I’ve ever heard on an acoustic!!! Taylor and Martin guitars have met there match!
Encore plus beau avec la touche Justin.
Mille mercis pour cette reprise magnifique.
Tu as des mains en or
Hey JJ where in the hell do you get all these great Guitars from thats a whole lot of Money --Are you selling a Moon Shine on the Side
Damn....Justin, you did it again!
You've added colour to a golden tune that was already sewn inside minds of so many.
Similar to what technicolor did to classic black&white movies.
Love the dimensions you inject...
Keep your pace!
Cheers
😎
