Despite a lot of people saying this feels like something belonging in the Old West, or the soundtrack to it, what this puts me most in mind of is the original 'Tristram' track from Diablo. Same brooding atmosphere, same feeling of something being amiss. I absolutely love this and would love to hear more like it.
That’s the first thought I had when I heard it! I’ve got countless hours listening to the Tristram music, still play D1 from time to time. Think I’ll stay a while and listen 😁
Wow such an unexpected and obscure reference but so spot on! It was nagging at the corner of my brain but I couldn’t place the familiar feeling. I was scanning the comments and all that popped out at me was ‘Tristram’ whoa Tristram Blues man you have something here!

This guy is rad! I've been a musician most of my life and he's one of my guilty pleasures. I'm a classically-trained trombonist and percussionist but whenever I hear this guy play it's like he speaks to my soul and I get instantly transported back to whenever this time should have been even if it was just a few days ago...
I consider myself very fortunate indeed that I got to see Leonard shortly before he died. Without a doubt the best performance I have ever seen. Class all the way. I often judge a singer by how well they perform this song. Now I might be judging musicians the same way. Justin you are top of the class.
Truly amazing! Justin, you’re like an artist with a brush to a canvas; the brush strokes being each note. Always so great to hear your ‘painting’ in music!
I can't even count how many times I've come back to this. I don't know how to describe it, don't know what genre it falls in - don't care either. Just know I'll be back again
Love that dark haunting tone!!!!! Very mysterious and beautiful!!!!😎🤘🍻 Baritone guitar is one of my favorite tones This song is a must for the next bootlegger volume!!!!
I found so much love and beauty in your lap steel guitar I'm sharing with a family member who plays in a Lil bluegrass band - I believe you have a lot of love to share. Thank you you have beauty in your soul ❤️ 😘 peace & light ✨️
Right? For me it's evoking a very specific scene, the feeling is one of foreboding but resignation and determination. Something bad is coming, but it's too late to run. All you can do is turn to face it, even if it requires every last bit of your bag of tricks - whether you said you'd ever use them again or not.
hey Justin, would you be willing to make a video of your progress over the years of playing guitar, I think it would be interesting to see. You could include, who inspired you, did you go to any music schools, how you learnt how to play as well as you do etc. I think it would be a great video.
Wow. Justin is an amazing player and an expert at letting the instrument play what it wants. Just a few minutes of tinkering around and he could play something cool on a stick, rock, and a piece of fishin line. I believe instruments can inspire players in certain directions and he reads em like a book.
I am from Greenland, that music style or the sound have i never heard whole my life. I must say that gives me goosebumps. It kind of gives me electricity in muscles or something like that. What a beautiful sound
Somebody in the void, this void of somebody, maybe it's Ghosts.....but the sound is on the hands, hands to the earth, voices to the air...... Strange but true Thanks Justin
I thought the "built by Magician" was in reference to the guy's skill. Then find out that yes it was that, but he's also a legit magician. Awesome all the way around.
I’m writing this on my 32nd bday and til this day, I feel if you’ve never been to “The Deep South,” there is an aspect and ambiance of this style of music and storytelling that you’ll never forget. This reminds me of the stormy seasons at the top of the boot in the Louisiana heat just waiting until class let out and the bar opened; the south in the summer brought out a different type of lady and gentleman.
Lot of people saying this reminds them of music you'd hear in a western during a shoot out. I can see that- maybe a Quinton Tarantino western, but my first thought was southern gothic, more along the lines of "True Blood", but either way- very cool sound.
A beautiful sound JJ , Charles Atchison new what he was doing when he had you in mind for this lap steel guitar . You could make some very high tension fill - ins for some deep swamp movies along the lines of " Jaws` " Da da Da da Da da followed by some mind pinging snaps etc , getting carried away now , he he , cheers JJ .
@@charlesatchison What a beautiful and unique Creation you have made! Justin brings the voice to us in the magical way that is his alone. It must be an incredible thing for you to use your own artistic gifts to create and deliver to the hands of yet another exceptional creative. It's just lovely, strange and beautiful. Thank you both for sharing your talents and bringing my inner child to the surface to admire, marvel and wonder this truly one of a kind experience for that is what it is entirely unique. Happy to have stumbled on it today.
All is missing is the haunted house!!! Glad you showed,told how this was made ,truly has a different "voice" with the baritone vibe, maybe a lap steel in the background and this playing out front would help it achieve even another level ? beautiful as always! Have been sharing your music for a long time now :) would LOVE to hear a montage or collection as a tribute to Toy Caldwell not necessarily top 40 but he had a lot of freestyle jams that are perfect for you! Thanks again Keep Rockin Peace. Rick
This sort of eerie westernesque music is very underrated. I love this kind of sound, and I really wish someone would take a crack at some western themed macabre on the big screen. It wouldn't need to be anything complex, something as simple as a rancher moving into an old haunted house in the mid 1800s.
You got it!🎸 Tabs for this arrangement: justinjohnsonstore.com/collections/guitar-tablature/products/guitar-tablature-voices-from-the-attic-by-justin-johnson
As crazy as it may sound, this is my dog's absolute favorite song. He howls longer than you would even think possible. But to nothing else. No sirens, no other songs, dog whistles, nothing. Only this song
Just like your other songs, this sounds fantastic Justin. If it interest you, I would love to hear a song by the Black Crows for one of your future songs.
Justin, do you think you could do a tenor ukulele video someday? I ve been fallowing you for a long time and i have learnt a lot from your skills and arts. Seeing you play the blues on a uke could be enlightening and nurturing for my very rudimentary skills. Cheers!
I LOVE THIS SOUND! So much mood & emotion! You need to replace the annoying predictable crap heard in so many films. This made me think of the "The Last Of Us" game soundtrack even though I haven't ever player it. My big brother is "guitarist extraordinar" Wayne Perkins from Alabama, also known as the White Wailer from his recordings with Bob Marley. He has a really long, long list of people he had the grace to play with from the Stones to Joni Mitchell. You really have mad skills, so glad you turned up in my list! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
You should definitely check out Gustavo Santaolalla's other stuff, it is really really cool. The last of us is definitely what I thought of, very zombie-game-esque. Little bit of left for dead in there too.
@Justin Johnson I rather would spend money on a concert ticket..But you aren't touring through Switzerland or the nearby countries. And a Flightticket to the US is above my budget. Maybe one day in the future....🤭Until then I enjoy your music "canned" 😘🇨🇭 Thank you for years of passionate, perfectly played music making sad days sader and happy ones even happier ! That's the Blues 💯
Sounds like the nighttime theme of a desert or arid plains to me and I love it! Or maybe a wild west town with a dark secret? o: Either way, this is heckin' dope!
Somehow I get the vision of Clint Eastwood, Lee VanCleef and Eli Wallach squaring off at the cemetery. Glad to get some videos. It has been awhile. Just seeing those long fingers I knew it was Justin.
The Master plays ! I'd love to see and hear Justin as a guest artist with a well known band ! Yeah ! Boogie down Justin! That instrument had beautiful tone and sounded wicked !!

One of the most beautiful and entrancing things I've ever heard. Seriously.
Sitting back, looking at the stars while listening to some dark blues played by Justin, and the mind can leave this world for some time.
I'd love to listen to this while on shrooms...

🎶👁👃👁🎵
yup . . . that's works for me these days
Super soft
I want a whole album like this.
Check out the band Tonbruket, I can't quite find the songs that do use this instrument, but I know some do. My favorite album is Forevergreens
Justin makes guitars happy for the music they make. Hope somebody getting this down. A guitar whisper of highest level. Gives me chills and tears.
I think I may be legitimately in love with this instrument. What an incredible sound!
It's more amplifiers and effects than the instrument. Put some tension on a wire and add pickup, you have a slide guitar.
@@robertpaulson2842 3/4 of that sound is in his hands
Very haunting. Old deep South. Beautiful!❤🍀🇮🇪

Wonderful You always find the soul of every instrument you play Justin.
Truly amazing! Justin, you’re like an artist with a brush to a canvas; the brush strokes being each note. Always so great to hear your ‘painting’ in music!
For some reason, the association mentioned Jarmusch's film "Dead man" and "Serenity")). I really liked it, thank you.
Man! I had goosebumps with the first strum of those strings. Justin Johnson rides again!
Amazing. I like how expressive this instrument sounds. Like it’s telling a story but without words.
Love listening to this driving at dusk in the savannah. Your talent shines with a soft brilliance. Thank you for sharing with us all. 🙏🏿
And this is why I'm a die hard fan of your work.
I can't even count how many times I've come back to this. I don't know how to describe it, don't know what genre it falls in - don't care either. Just know I'll be back again

I never get tired of this performance! Justin Johnson is amazing!
When I get a chance to sit and checkout what's new on RUclips and see a new JJ video I'm glad.
It Always hits the spot !
That was amazing! I don't think that I took a breath or blinked once during the entire song. Thanks for another great video.

This is the first time I've watched your videos since my husband passed away. Such a amazing song.

Justin is one my favorite things to listen to when I ride the Harley. It makes for epic mountain rides!
I did not think I'd like this as much as I really did... And only after a single note... wow that was awesome
I am from Greenland, that music style or the sound have i never heard whole my life. I must say that gives me goosebumps. It kind of gives me electricity in muscles or something like that. What a beautiful sound

A truly beautiful song .... can't stop listening
My god Justin this is perfect!!!!
Your heart shines through here with every note!
Thank you with every fiber of my heart!
I feel it should be called, "Riding through a Ghost Town." I have a complete feeling of desolation while on horseback. Good stuff!
Incredible sound, amazing what you are able to get out of an instrument!

ghost town music
And that raised goosebumps! THANKYOU!!!
Man, this sounds like you could slot it right into the soundtrack for Hades. Amazing playing, and so cool that it's all from one instrument

Friend, this is space, it's really cool!!! Super!!! Thank you!!!
I'm pretty sure Quentin Tarantino has never heard of Justin because I'm convinced he would be hired for the soundtrack in a heartbeat.
As crazy as it may sound, this is my dog's absolute favorite song. He howls longer than you would even think possible. But to nothing else. No sirens, no other songs, dog whistles, nothing. Only this song
That tune reminds me of those old desert western movies.
Bellísimo Justin! Un sonido único y maravilloso!!! ❤
Now that’s more like it - got to love this sound - reaches into my soul - need this on your next CD - brilliant!
What a wild piece of Music!
Goes with the Guitar..
and the Musician!

Check out my song “snowy morning coming down” I play a tenor uke on that one 👍🎸
This is so beautiful!
I believe that given a minute, you could make any string sound haunted.
U got that right
The player matters more than the instrument I would say. This guy is the best!
He knows what he's doing.....
If i played it, the video title would be "Lap Steel built by Magician sounds like a liquid turd"
Not mercury ^
