      Really enjoying your playing.
      There us nothing like a single guitar being played on the porch or in the kitchen while I'm making something to eat.
      The strings dancing the notes threw the air, the words of the song, if any, are being born with every note as it's being released into the air, as it is being simply played.
      It makes my heart, feet and soul dance even if I am sitting still, seated or laying down.
      The music releases the mind and soul like nothing else.
      It can take you from the pews to the pubs, joy and sorrow, love and loss, weddings to funerals.
      Music is always there.
      My favorite is a solo guitar being played in my kitchen or on my porch, with no particular song, just working out a new sound.
      Something visceral about that combination that brings great peace of mind.
      Thankyou.
      I'm absolutely loving your channel. After listening for a few seconds of the Dobro blues song.
      It's one of my favorite instruments and what can I say the blues is in my blood.
      Thankyou again, keep on playing.
      ✌❤🎸🎶🙏

    Every time I watch Mr. Johnson play I think about moving to the USA (Texas), because the combination of playing great tunes and the landscape give me a sense (feeling) of a place I would like to live. Not that I don't like my country (because I love it), but I have the feeling that live here picked up speed and in Mr. Johnson's songs I see a better pace, one that leaves place for the simple things in life, that make life more enjoyable.....
    And I love the sound of this guitar!!!

      333jas I often took up songs above my level. Here is what worked for me: I practiced the way too difficult song for about an hour a couple of days, managed some sections and didn’t manage the rest no matter how hard I tried. I let it sit then for a couple of weeks, took it up again - and surprisingly nailed it! It was as if the learning continued even if I didn’t continue practicing.
