I'm sitting in my chair watching the 🌧️ All day long,no lightening and no thunder just a slow, steady 🌧️ not much else to do with myself but listen to good,dark blues on RUclips 😊 Blind Melon Chitlin '😊
There are fretboard blazers out there. There are smooth melodicists who can tug at your heart. There are a legions of wood choppers who shun any attempt at finessing a guitar’s capabilities. Then there’s Mr. Johnson - the guitar becomes an organic extension of him. His is one of the most impressive displays of musical expression I’ve ever witnessed.
Anyone else remember the days when you'd take the new LP home from the record shop and listen to find your favourite tracks? If you were lucky there'd be at least one that would make you really sit up and take notice and no more than one which was a bit "meh". Approach this video like an LP and it's an absolute corker. Not a single dud. And I have no idea what you're up to in the Robert Johnson one. Did you sprout invisible extra fingers and stretch space-time? How can you fit those notes in and still sound like there's room for more but you've chosen to leave them out? Mastery is always inspring to behold. Thank you, sir.
My husband was a blue zz man Till he passed away in 2018 I have his lap steel , Dobro Banjo and 3gutars Thy all come together thanks for the memories . Your amazing God bless you and everything you touch.
It's great to see young players like this embrace the blues. In the right hands the blues is just as vibrant and creative as it was a hundred years ago. I hope this helps inspire other young players to take up this art form.
I told all my music buddies to watch this closely, thank you for showing us everything we need to know you're a great musician and a mentor and a wonderful teacher
Played the Box of Wood and Wire for 64 years, and while not quite at yourlevel of execution, I was pretty salty. THEN a minor stroke took the function of my left hand. So now I am in search of "my favorite" guitarist to listen to the rest of my days. You are it I believe. Wonderful slide work! Flawless! KEEP IT UP my friedn!
MS took away my ability to perform as a singer, as well as any guitar playing I'd learned to do. I now live vicariously through other musicians. Justin is one of my favorite guitarists to listen to while I read every Sunday.
Been following this guy for a while how he is not on a main stage playing to thousands is just beyond me thank you for sharing your talent you are amazing
You can always tell when Justin is enjoying certain riffs or sections of a song. He grins the most suttle of grins when he's really getting in to it. He's amusing to himself and loves what he's doing. That's the best feeling of them all
Man, JJ I've been listing IDK how many yrs. it's been. It was back before U showed all of us hillbillies that we could make guitfiddles out of cigar boxes & D handle shovels! And U would play sweet slider music and some funky blues too! Hittn on a Mason jar of some good ole apple shine, kicked back & listen to U play those funky blues❤😅 Love Em Man❤ Right On JJ!! RIGHT ON MAN!!🎶🎵🎶❤🎸
@@delv2473 for some reason his music makes me get chills and hell, I'm 68 years old. where he chooses to take a song is scary sometimes. There's no one like him AND no one before him like this either. Just pure blues. God Almighty, he is the best. There, I said it.
I’m amazed how Justin learns the songs from back in the day and captures their spirit. I’d love to hear what ZZTop would say about his Sharp Dressed Man. Can’t wait to hear the rest
I’m so grateful to JJ for changing my life in such a positive way about 27 months ago when I purchased my 3 string shovel guitar. I have finally made it to Delta Blues on the instructional DVD and almost have it down after only really starting to work on it yesterday afternoon. Thank you so much Justin!!! 🙏🏻🎸 now I am itching to get better at slide guitar
In the army, they investigated me, because the intelligence is changing, they told me to play a Spanish game of chess, because I only play flamenco on the guitar, and only blues on the guitar, because I used to play chess in some Florida or Arizona. I liked the good instruments, I buy them all and give them to my goddaughter. A-10
I can't get enough of this relaxing music! The blues beats are pure bliss and make for an ideal background while working or simply winding down. A true masterpiece in creating a tranquil atmosphere.
I was out on a limb, this cut made me a believer brother! We all come up hard and slim, but this is all you J.J. Welcome,,,Young Man, Welcome 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dude… you literally go beyond playing an instrument… it becomes part of you… If i HAD a hat, I would take it off. I play classical myself and see the discipline that you have put into your craft… well. Done.

There aren't enough superlatives or adjectives to even begin to adequately explain what you do Justin....it's been said that music is the true universal language of expression and emotion and you very clearly show all of us all that and more....thanks from a subscriber for life
I just found your work a week ago, I’m a classically trained pianist, but played electric guitar for 20 years on, mostly metal, but I just bought my first resonator guitar tonight after hearing you. You’re amazing, I love your original compositions.
We should try to play some music together I’ve been playing drums since 1998. I’ve been telling EVERYONE since I discovered him back in late 2017!! Can’t believe the number of people who still haven’t heard of JJ
I love this guy. The only problem I have is I can't stop watching his videos . I have been late for appointments . But who cares this is Justin Johnson playing . You remind me of the late SRV . He had the same effect on me to.

We don't get the Blues on free FM radio, I would have to buy Serious Radio, is that what we call it? I don't have the money, but sometime later. God bless Justin Johnson, and his hair is great. If he did a show with Joe Bonamassa, would it be a good vibe?
as with all of the comments previously, your feel for the instrument, and how to use it to express the music inside you is nothing less than inspirational Justin. Thank you for sharing your passion
❤ Always end up on this channel. I play Justin as background music to just about any interview or spoken word newscast I listen to. JJ makes everything better! 🎸
Not only is this some of the finest playing I’ve seen in a long bit .. but this young man has style !! I grew up traveling the arts and craft fairs as a kid .. and his taste in jewelry is fantastic , most of the pieces I saw in this video look hand crafted 😮🖤🤍💛from the hat to the shades to his clothes and his stage presence .. he’s got all the right ingredients .. and tho I’m likely old enough to be his mother .. he’s pretty hot too .. why have I not seen his face everywhere ?? He should be a Big star !!
I just love your music JJ thank you very much for sharing your wonderful talent with us your music hits me right in the soul and I like it thank you bluesman you’re freaking awesome
Justin you are a true wizard with your arrangements. You know how to pay tribute to the original and make yours in a way that I believe is the best in the business. Well Done Maestro!
Justin tenes que venir a Buenos Aires Argentina, NO te vas arrepentir!!! Genio... grande gracias por tanto talento..me alegraste el alma a mis 52 años ..!!

The Ballad of Justin Johnson. The greatest picker to ever play the blues.
Definitely one of the best ever!
Justin Johnson is simply the best! He should be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame Museum in Memphis!!!

Very true, nicely said ✌🏻
i have ears as finely tuned as a potato but even i can hear the notes are clean and crisp .......clean pickins baby.
I'm so glad to see a more than skilled artist be so kind, generous and also Enjoy his work.
Thanks so much Rosemary, That means a lot!
What a treasure! Thank you, Justin!

I have his lap steel ,
Dobro
Banjo and 3gutars
Thy all come together thanks for the memories .
Your amazing
God bless you and everything you touch.
Such a pleasure just to listen, Justin is awesome 👍😎
He died pre covid, which means he can be resurrected to play the blues once again. This is wisdom.
It's great to see young players like this embrace the blues. In the right hands the blues is just as vibrant and creative as it was a hundred years ago. I hope this helps inspire other young players to take up this art form.
Today is the first day I listen to his music. Jesus Christ, this man really knows his business, he is a genius. Thank you and cheers from France. 🇫🇷

Went would he limit himself to arena size crowds when he's now playing to the entire world? Already 1.2 M followers, not listeners, followers.
I can't believe this only has 6300 likes😳😳😳
I could listen to this all night.
You can always tell when Justin is enjoying certain riffs or sections of a song. He grins the most suttle of grins when he's really getting in to it. He's amusing to himself and loves what he's doing. That's the best feeling of them all
I've always been true to 'if i can't move myself how can I imagine that I've moved anyone else listening.' Or amused. LOL love it
YES‼️👍💞🎶
Yes he does gets into it.
Very inspiring . He could pick up any guitar and take it for a dance to places that guitar has never been before
Man, JJ I've been listing IDK
how many yrs. it's been. It was
back before U
showed all of us hillbillies that
we could make

kicked back & listen to U play those funky blues❤😅 Love
Em Man❤ Right On JJ!! RIGHT ON MAN!!🎶🎵🎶❤🎸
Love his style... clean, relaxing, relatable. I just sit back and let the rhythm wash over me... peace!
For me - Gravity. The phrasing, timing, dynamics and little pinch harmonics - made it other worldly. Thank you Justin.
Justin, it's always a re eal treat to hear and see us play. Why are you not filling stadiums cuz you shoud BE.. Love what U DO
You, sir, are an inspiration to us all.
So smooth.... My ears being wrapped in velvet
Just found Justin a year ago. He kicks everyone ass on what ever he plays.
Wish I had someone like Justin to learn from when I started in 68
Maybe the most underrated RUclips guitarist... Killing it as always!
I totally agree!!! 😃
Get what your saying but 1.38 million subscribers he is doing OK 👍

I always thought Ry Cooder was the only true great slide player. But Justing you are right up there. 🎸
I was out on a limb, this cut made me a believer brother!

The best musician playing the Dobro instrument.

How cool, play the bass line at the same time as pouring and then downing a shot of bourbon, and then use the glass as a slide, bravo mate !!
Delta Blues is really fun music....listening to it over coffee...Mantap 👍🇮🇩

Thanks JJ for helping keep this old man’s back supple. Better than any chiropractor.
