  • 🎸 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 🎸
    Here's another video for my REAL BLUES series. 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.

      That's what happens when it's released and several are watching it at the same time and hit like before the video ends. At this point it will show the likes but not the view count until they are done watching.

    I have the blues today. My neighbor's dog (which spent more time with me each day than them), was hit by a motorcycle this a.m. She was walking with me on my way to work when she couldn't resist chasing a motorcycle when a beer truck cruised the opposite direction. I had to carry her 1/2 kilometer to the neighbors' house. I have dreaded coming home, as usually we go for a long walk on the beach together after work. Instead I am drinking a beer in a blood stained t-shirt, listening to awesome blues and planning an altar for her grave. Thanks for the soundtrack.

    So, I spent most of this vid trying to count the fingers on your left hand. An' nope, there were only 4, not 5 or 6 like I thought. So then, I went down to the creek, and fished out my guitar and climbed back up onto the bridge and hucked it off over the rail again. Rather listen to you.
