That’s just so damn cool! I happened to clean my SG this morning. When finished, I laid it on the bed, sat back to admire my work, and had the thought that a guitar, at its essence, is one of the most beautifully simple, yet impactful, creations man has ever made. That six strings pulled tightly across a piece of wood could create such complexity and diversity of sound - and impact our world to the extent it has -is almost mind blowing. This simple little device has literally helped unite nations, heal deep divisions within nations, and bring joy and meaning to billions throughout our world. Listening to Justin take three strings tied to a shovel and transform them into musical artistry essentially encapsulated everything I was thinking. It’s hard not to feel better about life after this funky ditty. Thank you sir for sharing your unique talent. 🙏
Hey Justin, I just had to replace the throttle cable on my lawn mower, I can ship the broken one out to you along with an old trash can lid, I am sure that you can make them sing!
Remember How Son house played a steel guitar... u are a timeless addition for the way you can make it sing... scream...dosey doe ... play her a round straight laying it down. That Rock meets mountain and moonshine with old Popcorn Sutton n banjos ..guitars..violins everywhere. Ty ty ty ty. .u are a LEGEND
I just bought your signature shovel guitar and I am learning to play it. I really enjoy it so far. After seeing this video I really want a super awesome shovel guitar decorated just like the one he used to entertain us with today.
@Dude On A Cow You didn't get the joke. I said him, as in "He buried him six feet down" because that's how deep a grave usually is. I know it's a stupid joke, now move on.
Your music is slowly taking over my whole Playlist. But it's great. Your music nomatter how gloomy and bluesy still gets me pumped and the best part is no lyrics driving my thoughts in a specific direction so Your songs are appropriate while welding in the shop or just doing the dishes at home. I Love it and thank you!
Not sure which I loved more, the amazing artwork on the shovel and strap, or the amazing art coming from Justin's ON FIRE slide work? Yeah, gonna have to call that one a tie! ❤️
Heaven blessed you Justin Johnson with a magical, musical gift. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Justin. Never stop playing ever! From one musician to another, keep on keepin' on.
I 'm simply amazed! You have convinced me to listen to music I'm not used to and I simply love and respect your playing. Your dedication and love for music ensures you do this extremely well. Well done!
Dear Justin Johnson. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Now I will never ever be able to look at a spade or use one without admiration! 😁 ;-) Thanks a lot for making playing recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
"Diggin' It!" "Digging" -present participle of the verb -To Dig. Conjugated as - I dig, You dig, He/She digs, We dig, Y'all dig, They dig! As a present participle contraction; I'm Diggin' it! You're Diggin' it! We're all Diggin' it! Outstanding Mediterranean Art!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! I always get excited when Justin drop another one on us. As mentioned by someone earlier. I have one I got from him as well, but going to need some more practice, but man what fun it is.
Medication time kick back and let that stress get ripped away from your spirit! Given a quick spit no polish they slapped back in all refreshed and alive! Thanking you very kindly yet again 😘👍
@@Mwtorres89 I gave it a few years but honestly, I'm tone deaf. And there is no African heritage in my bloodline, so I have no sense of rhythm either. So sad for me because I love music so much. It's magic to me.
this is what i love about talented musicians, seeing them play their own song years later and hearing all the changes and refinements they've made. Love it, that shovel is mint btw.
There is a nice symmetry to that, for me: I got into your playing because of shovel guitar on the back porch, so this makes me smile, makes my day! Cheers.
Man makes a spade TALK !!! There is so much sound coming out of that guitar and only three strings , unbelievable but then it`s JJ and we are witness to the Magician making music , cheers from NZ , much respect and accolades to you Maestro .
Had one in my hand this morning. Couldn't get it to wail and moan like JJ, but it did put 46 plants in the ground.
Next best thing...🎶🥕🥒
Whatever way you get dirty is good. ;-)
Why would you use a squarepoint for gardening?! Thats crazy!!
@@xdreadx_5025 Square point for scooping, round point for digging.
Me too, but I only managed 1 mother in law. Which is OK, cos I only have 1 . . . . um . . . . . had :-)

EXCELLENT!!! That’s a great looking shovel!
(Never thought I’d ever say that!)

Justin your skill is on an insanely high level good for you brother
Agreed.

killing it , or should I say digging it Justin.
We can dig it, man.
He buried it six feet down.
@@dudeonacow9917 You mean him.
@@bbilal111 I am pretty sure "He buried it six feet down." is more proper than "Him buried it six feet down.".

"Don't take your foot off of that hammer son" ~Jerry Reed
RIP..
Hey was a legend in my eyes and still is. Man he could play a mean guitar and loved the stories he shared..
👉💥👈
If Jerry were here ...he would immediately gravitate to this
@@buddyjackson3148 Exactly. Jerry played that swamp music.
@@texasrider4D5 Here he transformed a shovel in guitar, crazy cause it sound pretty good
That Shovel rocks!!! Great playing!! Can't wait to hear the 4-string Rake.
As many times as I've watched this, you my friend have incredible talent and wish you much success!
It's not fair that I'll never sound as good with 6 strings as he can with 3 strings and a gardening tool. Lordy.
Have you tried slapping it like a red headed step child
I was just thinking the same thing bout me...
I here ya !
unless you're arm-less, the only reason you cant play is because you wont put in the time it takes.
@@Mwtorres89 I gave it a few years but honestly, I'm tone deaf. And there is no African heritage in my bloodline, so I have no sense of rhythm either. So sad for me because I love music so much. It's magic to me.
You are my favorite! Never stop making music.
There's that shovel again! Digging it like my own grave!
My new favorite performance of Crankin’ 🤘
The Ace of Spades.
I am really diggin these groovy tunes, man. Play on brotha, play on.
Awesome! Driving sound that is powerful to the end.
I could listen to this guy play till the day I die!! AWESOME!!
I'm diggin it! 😁👍
I love everything about this! That tone, the shovel! Also love how it says diggin' it on it. 🎸
Another hit with me....I was tapping my toes on the dog, LOL! Awesome Justin 👏
I hope you're not afraid to damage it! Wonderful craftsmanship! Great music of course!
magic! , la bretelle avec l’œil d'Horus finalise parfaitement la pelle , classe et maîtrise ! merci d'être Justin Johnson
