The invention of this guitar was truly ground breaking
I came here for the music, I stayed for the puns. :D
I see what you did there 😏
Alright listen up you little shi-
@APOLLO I can really dig it.
@@Andy_Classic stevie wonder could have
Inspired by this so just dug a hole in my garden with my Les Paul.
LOL
I was going to post that I could dig potatoes with my shovel, but Les Paul is way funnier ........so I hate you ; /
LOL.
you, Sir, just made my day. LMAO.
brilliant
He's playing one of those fretless shovels. So much more difficult than those fretted shovels. Awesome.
Amazing. :D
🤣
Hilarious 😂
You think it's a straight DAD?
Lol
Anyone who can make a shovel do that has my respect,hats off to you sir.
the fact he can play it like that shortly after making it is amazing. There is video of him making it also
I can imagine what he can do with a real guitar. Billy Strings look out.
@@stomper2582
He did not make the shovel guitar in this video. I believe a man named Roger Berry did.(not certain on the spelling). He started producing shovel guitars as a result of this video. ✌🏻❤️🎶
If I ever rob a train on horseback, I want this song playing in the background.
I hope to God im not driving that train
Ted Style this dude should do some songs on the new red dead redemption game
+meggawatt muffin great idea
meggawatt muffin would fit in a shootout during a horse wagon chase.
+Ted Style I don't think Justin can run that fast ! :-)
This guy is changing the musical landscape and the actual landscape.
😆😆😆😂😂😂👍👍👍
Thats a good one, sir.
well, i laughed.
HHAHAHAHA!
You're an amazing show'vel man!
I’m 55 and have been playing guitar for over 40 years and watching Justin play his shovel brings me joy every time.
"Call a spade a spade", they say. Justin calls it a guitar. Absolutely fantastic talent.
When Guitar Center is closed during the quarantine, but Home Depot still open
Lmssssao🤣😂😆😅🤣😆
HellKarnassus...😂😂
The basic shovel @ Lowes is $16.99. GF1, 👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😎
Hahahahahahaha...wooooh!
Yes, exactly
I always argue that it's not the gear you play with, but how you play it. Thanks for proving that point. Amazing.
602GRIND
That statement and point made could apply to soooo many things.
My pee pee is big.
@@rexbarr_5783 incredible
But these are super fancy gears.
Agreed x 💯. You can have all the top of the line gear in the world, but if your technique sucks? Most likely your playing is going to suck.
He's really an "ace of spades"
think you're so smart cause you thought of the most perfect comment ever?
fuck you
I love you
So fucking funny.......WTG Ed.
Dig your comment.
real down to earth kinda guy :)
i sit corrected
This has to be my favourite music youtube channel. Still coming back to this video after so many years. There's just something about the sound of blues and that sliding of the string that feels so good.
This guy is damn good. Thought I will watch a silly video from recommendation list, but this is one of the hidden gems of RUclips.
Mc Nizzle same.
This is Talent. Justin Johnson is a musical genius & god. Cyndy in Alabama
same way i found, total hidden gem
Honestly, he came up on my facebook feed for some reason. About 3 years later I finally look him up on RUclips...
Same bro 😂
This just blows my mind ive been playing drums for 30 years and I've been around thousands of guitar players that dont sound this good
Thousands? Really?
So 2000 + guitarist...🤔
davedalessandro8189 Dalessandro
Guess I’ll go die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@davedalessandro8189
Wouldn't it be some shit if you are actually Niel Perch from rush and no one has ever figure out your real youtube name
Just wouldn't that be some shit
@@Norman-Bates
Psh, he would only have to meet a little over 5 guitarists every day.
Nick L probably just works at Guitar Center.
You just made better music with a shovel, 3 strings and 3 and a half minutes than I have in 16 years of playing guitar. My hat is off to you sir, that was awesome!
I've only been playing for 6 years or so, but I feel the same way... and on a goddamn shovel.
i can hear an overdubing that maybe will
l makes yu feel better
beatsByZlaya just facts! electrical suplies , octaver ,looper ect made a single guitarist more powerfull but it s a trick,no offense just facts,now if you want to call Tahiti a hole it is up to yu no answer required thanks
mateo lopez I think you did not understand. this guys is acting as if being better then him is some sort of an achievement.
My point was that I'm much worse than him.
This guy literally has talent in spades!
I'm really digging it.
Love the corny jokes. Keeps a person grounded. 😂
@@westerncanadiancommentary978 I came here for the music, I stayed for the puns. :D
Hugely talented!
@@westerncanadiancommentary978 Saw what you did there pal🤣
This is absolutely the best thing I've seen on RUclips in a long time!
This guitar is so down to earth!
😂👍 literally gold!!!
He's got talent in spades
Epic comment
😂bahahaha!!!
😂
Pure talent! When you can make a shovel sound like a an expensive guitar, man you have something! Every once in a while I see something on here that just plain fascinates me and this is definitely fascinating!
This here is the real reason for RUclips eh. Seeing what some very talented people are doing in this world. Have you or anyone else here seen the little Japanese girl playing the drums? She's around 9 now, her folks have been posting up vids of her nailing rock tracks from the age of 7!!!!
@@tommeytommey2742 He makes it sound like an expensive guitar??? It sounds to me like a band with a bass, rhythm and lead guitar, a dobro, a guy on banjo and perhaps a couple chicks with maracas 🪇 ✌🏻❤️🎶
I can honestly say this video changed my life and inspired me to pursue playing a stringed instrument. Thanks Justin
That's so awesome to hear! Rock on brother
So you're now playing the shovel
You know Ed Sheeran and his fucking 4 chords songs have earned him a ridiculous amount of money but this guy shreds like he doesn't get whiskey hangovers and was born with a pick in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth. One of the greatest musicians I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Keep rockin dude
Love your description of the guy.
god only knows why Ed is so popular ..... theres more talent in the clippings of one of Justin's pinky finger nails than Sheeran could ever even dream of mustering up.
Sheeran is a joke on a guitar. Dude can sing like a bird but his playing is second rate. Edit. And his goofy marvel arm tattoos look a technicolor disney virus is crawling up his arm. Real pickers stand strong the likes of Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Albert Collins Les Paul Jimi Hendrix George Lynch and the best and the rest are out there alive or dead.
What's Ed Sheeran got to do with this video? Yes, he earned it, he didn't take it at gunpoint.
@Waterboy899 ah another one of those what's that got to do with this video comment. It's called a comparison. Don't be a prick mate
Best use of a shovel short of killing a snake I’ve seen!!
Gene Simmons : I play a Bass that looks like an axe
Justin Johnson: thats cute
Both were equally bad ass
I have got to get me one of those
I play drums on buckets filed with TNT so that Bass axe is funny!
😂
I come back and listen to this regularly Almost nothing ever makes me wanna jump up and get down, but this is beyond groovy every time. I am imaging a whole band around this.
"You know me," my dad used to say, "I always call a spade a shovel."
And now it's an 'axe'!
Yeah, but who "axed" you about it? ;-)
Lmao
@@jasonayres a very versatile AXE that sounds and plays great.
It's a little funny that this guy can play a shovel better than most can play a guitar.
Understatement.
this comment is golden
You meant to say he can play a shovel better than 99 percent of people that play guitar because that's more accurate.
Hard to play better than this guy to be fair. Hell, I bet he could play better with a cob of corn than I can play guitar.
Grandmaster do not complain own's tool..
Ho 64 anni e amo la musica, in particolare il blues. Sei semplicemente fantastico ragazzo mio! Un caro saluto e un abbraccio dall'Italia!!! 🥰😘👍🎶🎸
I found this years ago and still come back to it
I was just watching the tubes when i wanted to search "shovel knight game grumps" i typed in shovel and it came up. As i clicked it for a split second i saw "shovel guitar" got me curious so i went back and searched it. Best decision i made today...
Shovel Knight is the best game: fact
@@cjs4247 it's FUCKİN' BEST
Did you get a shovel guitar?
I've seen this at least 100 times and never get tired of seeing it.
Truly this man is the Ace of Spades
Listening to this while sitting outside on a cloudy humid day in Texas drinking my sweet tea.
That's the first song that's ever made me seriously think about buying myself a guitar.
I've NEVER thought of doing that before.
It would be a three string shovel, too.
Awesome, thank you for sharing your gift.
Jack White: who says you need to buy a guitar?
Justin Johnson: hold my shovel
Well, actually, give it back.
Jack Black and his sax-a-boom joins in
Guitar in the shape of a shovel 🗡
I'm a musician and have been for over 40 years now. IT has been my honor to have been able to work with, and see and hear the very best in our business. IT has been an incredible journey for me. My hat is off to each and every one of you. Thank you all..
So nothing to do with what this guy is doing here then. You're just using this guys video comment for your own agenda? What a dick move that is. I thought you were going on about how you had been in the industry for 40 years and then came across this guy and how amazed you were etc. Nope. Just here to tend to your own shit completely unrelated. Again....what a DICK move.
This dude was born to play the blues.

When the good lord handed out talent, I held the door open for you and you got in line twice. You're art is AMAZING
I'm Really DIGGING this new musical instrument.
He sure has a handle on playing
😃
Noice
Maybe his _head is sharper_ than the rest of us?
He's getting deep into the song with it.

He plays that Guitar from his heart that entire song. Was played from his heart.
I could feel his soul.
What a powerful piece❤❤❤❤

This has got to be the coolest, most edgy, most hardcore thing I have ever seen. Rock on.
Have you seen the washing machine that plays the sickest metal beat? Go look it up:)
This is ofcause also really good :)
@@Nissenov Just found it. Thank you! Ha!
“After burying good ol’ Nat in the woods, we played him his favorite jam - using the same piece of equipment.”
Heard this years ago and it still rocks 🤘
This shouldn't even be possible, but you make it look easy. Even better, you make it sound GREAT. So much fun, and so much going on at the same time! More than merely impressive.
Well I never could play the guitar now can't play the shovel either😎
Floyd Mccombs Lmao🤣 Awesome comment!
🤣🤣🤣
WOW !
You might be able to dig it!! Come on give it try Please with a rake on top ❤❤❤🎵🎶🎸
If you rly wish you can play
I thought I'd seen it all at 64 yo! This dude is serious about playing guitar. I'm also putting this one on my 2020 playlist. EDIT: You reckon the garden rakes are getting nervous?
Might be able to do something with an ol fasioned one one bycutting the tines to particular lengths and plucking / stiking them ;-)
@@AtanaaTheCurious Lol! Wait, are you serious?
I’ll bet I could play a mean rake -like I do spoons (and other household items )
The garden rakes just play tambourine
@@davidaloca9594 Killer reply, LOL!
I swear your hands create southern hospitality in musical form
This is just awesome. I have watched it 20 times now.
Watch the rest of his videos. As the guy in Australia says on one of them, if you can put a string on it Justin can make it sing.
AMEN.
He gives meaning to the phrase, "he can play anything."
He'd master it within a week.
He's like the John Wick of stringed instruments
You are a genius. Last person I heard could do that was named RL Burnside. You rock my brother. Thank you.
He is amazing with all his instruments. 😊
There are no words to express my true astonishment I'm a guitarist as well and playing with Frets is already a challenge for some songs but seeing you play it on A3 strange shovel with No Frets plus the added other metals and stuff that's on the board you are truly amazing keep it up please
My geography teacher showed us this when it was free time, and my class and I were all stunned in amazement
😂😄👍
Few things better than when teachers go off script.
Amity that is awesome
I had a teacher that put on "Child in time" - Deep Purple because it was a 10 minute break :)
Some of the coolest shit I've seen in awhile brother!!!Not only an amazing guitar build,but super skilled with it,amazing sound and you just make it look so easy to play.Looks like so much fun to shred on!!!!
Badass. I didn’t even know I like shovel music but yes, yes I do
some lame guy:
i bet you can’t play that shovel over there!!
justin:
hold my rake...
Yes!!😂😂😂
Lol 🤣
Almost as good as a fortnite reference
i nearly died laughing 😅😅😂
Wahahaha . Pissing my pants....
When the RUclips algorithm works right, it really works right! This made my morning.
Tack!
Thanks so much for supporting the channel! I appreciate it so much!
Well done, I’m digging that tune. 🎶
Ayooooo
I hate you 😂
Now THAT'S what a shovel is supposed to sound like!
Вот, что значит креативить и созидать. Вот это мастер-класс, высший пилотаж. Супер!❤️✌️👍
Это ему еще грабли в руки не попались !
@@professor_trottelrainer Думаю, что и с граблями он в грязь фэйсом не ударит.
The tonewood in that shovel handle is what really gives it the majestic sound.
Dude. This totally should have been in Mad Max. Very cool.
😂 i could see that guy up on the rig playing swinging around
And waste a good shovel? Ha ha jk
mrhomebrew whoa you’re just gonna dis the doof warrior like that? Mad max was totally a metal movie
That's a record playing fool
Or fallout
Great music. Reminds me of a young Johnny Winters.
How can anyone thumbs down this! This is the definition of badassery!
My is that they have a low IQ.
Lauren Shafto the thumbs down probably came from idiots who think hip-hop is music
Jealousy is a bitch!
The only reason I can think off is... they're f-word tone deaf!
You're right Bob! We all mock and fear what we don't understand.
I’ve watched this 100 times if I’ve watched it once, the sound , the skill , absolutely amazing !
Me : watching some Linux videos
RUclips : wait I got something for you
Me : *impressed*
Yes!!!
GNU/Shovel Guitar
It is probably due to the long hairs of the guy RUclips confused him for Linux admin.
So true! I got here by some computer related clip!
Diversity is a code word for white genocide.
There's two kinds of people: Those with loaded guns and those who play the shovel. You rock
Down south and in Alaska yeah.
3 kind's! loaded and shovel lol peace brother
@@jeffsilvis6573 yes.
Then what am i? Lol
Most people that play a shovel carry a loaded gun. ;
i been playing electric guitar (with a pick) for a long time and i bought me one of them 35.00 cigarbox guitars. i am trying to learn this song....... i can get all the left handed slide notes, but all that stuff your doing with the picking hand is really complicated. this is the best guitar lesson i have had in years. it is refreshing to learn something new and different.
yeah was gonna say chickin picking. you play and mute a string with 2 fingers almost instantaneously.
Mind blown! Absolutely amazing and completely original man! No frets just native aptitude for the guitar! Thanks so much for an incredible musical wave!
The shovel is cool Justin but the way you play it makes it ten times better.
Great musician. Glad I discovered this.
Still watch this every once in a while. Gets me going.
That's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
People have this tendency to make instruments out of everything. Only thing is... they usually just make them into percussion instruments. This is awesome!
That’s why there are thousands of percussion instruments for us to regularly practice and play.
Justin's playing is amazingly percussive, check out what his right hand is doing, it's like a guitar + drum track
Thanks
Thanks Steve! 🤘🎸
I’m three years late...
This is so effing awesome.
This is incredible! Came here for the "shovel-guitar" but stayed for the incredible sound
shovelry ain't dead
Corporal Killjoy 👍👍😂
Beautiful, my friend. Bee-u-ti-ful!
I "dig" your comment bro
Clever my friend, clever.
Tehehehehehehe!!! Bunch of clowns & music lovers here!! Cyndy in Alabama
Love that thing...shovel slide guitar... awesome...keep it up😊😊😊
I didn't expect to hear some guitar playing that sounded that incredible coming out of a shovel.
That was f'n beautiful!!! Also love the hair, the aviators, the 🎩, the shirt w/rolled up sleeves...making the ultimate piece de resistance! WOW!
Tuning? E/A/E? I am an old 64 year old geetar man, not easy to impress any more.That is just so cool. There is hope for real music.
Thanks El, It's in Open G tuning (G D G)
El KennedyStart- Move over kid, Let a 65 year old show ya how's done :) What a kick in the ass :)
Best gitar
I saw the title, "Shovel Guitar" thought, what's a shovel guitar ? uh, it's a shovel - turned into a guitar! Amazing! Dude is awesome.
Holy shit dude
This guy just played Guitar Bass and Drums on a shovel
Just when you've lost faith in humanity, someone goes and makes a three string guitar out of a shovel and creates something that is truly amazing!
An amazing instrument with an oh so unique sound like none other! Expertly played in this video !!! Justin makes it sing!
It is next level. I fell in love with the way you made this 6 years ago. You have just carried on being a legend
This guy is awesome. Great talent and amazing instrumental he has built.
I would like to watch him in America's Got Talent!!!
My comment will end up buried but I still got to say I’m diggin’ this.
Like him to play at my funeral
Are you saying there's an idiot in a box, you're an idiot in a box, you're the box containing said idiot, or the guy who owns a box full of idiots?
@@peytonburnsed2196 ur comment is cornfusing.
@@olderetiredtreemahn3234
Confused me too lol think hes box troll.
@@whiterabbit594 maybe he's confused too. Peace
I never get too inspired to comment.... until now, that was some darn good music and playing!!!!
That is so cool and the sound is pure jazz and blues.
That’s a crazy variety of sounds for just being 3 strings, that’s crazy
Scottius Nevious not really called notes and playing style....u don't need multiple strings if one knows how to play...i prefer a guitar trimmed down to 4 strings and I play metal shit...
dark angel I bet you’re fun at parties
Monity parties? I can't stand parties..bunch of stupid people thinking their cool...either u can play..or u can't...end of story
dark angel LMFAOOOOOOOO you live underground I’m convinced
yeah...cuz it's such a shocker that somebody doesnt like parties..or people...oh the horror of the thing...🙈😂😂
As a man that works a shovel all day for loyalty to his brothers.... That was and is, badass beyond words
I wasted lots of money buying guitars obviously
Should'a taken up gardenin' instead, rjh =)
@ costs less than a hundred and is being sold for 450 :D that's ridiculous..
😂
Dig that...😳
I have never heard nor seen anything like this before. I am completely blown away at the sheer magic this man is making with a 3-string shovel guitar like a bad a$$ apocalyptic survivor from a Fallout video game. It’s like hearing music for the first time, every fiber of my being is in sync with the beat and the rhythm. I am a 50 something year old who just started learning acoustic guitar a week ago and I just hope that with enough practice and determination I could develop the same skill, talent, and mastery that Justin Johnson has demonstrated here by the time I’m 80.
Woooooow, bebe, thaaat goooood, huh?? Good 4 u!!!❤❤❤
Sounds like a tune that needs to be played while being chased by the Feds thru the swamp waters of the south while making sure you dont lose any of the shine! 👍🇺🇸
So like dukes of hazard?
