  • 🎸 Elevate your guitar skills with exclusive guitar lessons & tips at JustinJohnsonGu... Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to master advanced techniques, I'll share with you everything I've learned in my guitar journey 🎸
    One of the reasons I play so much down-home solo instrumental blues, is because I just want to listen to it... and there just isn't a whole lot of solo instrumental blues out there to listen to. I think there is a huge pressure to create bigger and bolder productions, but my soul always craves the simple moments of hearing someone alone with a guitar, just playing for the honest, simple pleasure of it. I decided to start a series called "Real Blues," which will be a collection of these moments. ...sort of like a conversation with a blues guitar.

    Your "Real blues" series is the right idea. You're a complete entertainer with your guitar.

      Gonna have to check him out, I get so many great suggestions from obviously knowledgeable people in YT, even if they (knowledgeable comments) do occur at atrociously low rates, at least in most videos. Videos like this, not nearly so rare. I find that positive trend in serious videos on YT on a variety of subjects though, and a dearth of it on the sites like 'moon landing hoax' and 'aliens among us' I sometimes go troll for grins.

    Nice to see someone besides Tommy Emmanuel playing a Maton! I have a 1977 CW80 that I bought new direct from the Maton factory back when I was living in Oz.

    Justin is like a scarecrow. He's Outstanding in his field. That piece was amazing! It sounded simple, but was very complex. It only sounded simple because it was preformed so smoothly and with masterful precision.

    Homebound, head bopping, stearing wheel slapping and feeling the groove. A slight smile on my face. Thanks for the great vibes Justin, just what I needed to finish the week. I can't wait to get home to my ladies and crack a cold one!!!!
    I'll be raising a shot to you Justin!!!!
    Thank you again for doing what you do!!!!!
    That down under tone wood is really something special!!!!!!

  • @Yorkie285
    @Yorkie285 3 года назад +8

    The Maton Acoustic always sounds better than any Martin, Taylor or Guild. It has the warmth, loudness, punch and brightness combined. Oh yea, the playing was kick ass.

    • @patriottothecore6215
      @patriottothecore6215 3 года назад +1

      Yep, that’s why Tommy Emmanuel uses them -that and the fact that they are Australian, but I’m sure he wouldn’t use them if they were rubbish

  • @rickoliver2059
    @rickoliver2059 3 года назад +2

    I have two sons who are both very accomplished with their guitars , I used to love just sitting there listening to their practising and gigs when they were younger . Now that they`re grown up and married with their own children , I don`t get to see them as much now and miss that guitar playing , that`s why I subscribed to you El Maestro . My youngest son , Roy has been to Nashville with his band , looking for a recording company , to put together an E.P., that was just as Covid 19 was just kicking in , they managed to get the recordings down but had to get back home ( NZ ) via L.A. and do a few more takes with the lads in L.A. Roy has been in touch and they are slowly progressing with the E. P. but it has been frustratingly slow because of the virus and no travelling , still , here`s hoping .Cheers from NZ friend .

    As always, is a pleasure to watch and hear you play. You can even make a shovel sound good. LOL! However, that guitar has an OUTSTANDING tone; bright , crisp, and clear. Like it had something to say and you were what expressed it. Bravo, sir...well done.

    Hey man, don't be a jerk. It's not Justin's job to teach you guitar. Maybe you should just enjoy his guitar ability and realize that if you practiced for a few hundred years or had Justin try to teach you 24/7, you still could not do what he does. Please continue to put out amazing videos Justin and, pay no attention to negative comments.
