No shit. I'm like... how come EVERYONE doesn't know who he is? Even my guitar playing friends don't know who he is. Crazy shit. Hiding out here on RUclips. I'm glad I found him!!! :-)
I’ve sometimes wondered why you never sing when you play or gotten someone to sing while you play or used backing tracks. I now know it’s because you don’t need to! Your music has zero need for embellishments and it says everything without a need of back up. Fan-flippin-tasting my friend!! The world’s most complete one-man band I’ve ever heard.
Ol Grey Bear I always figured that when God blessed you with the ability to feel music the way he does the kindness to share said ability with the rest of us that you didn’t also get the ability to sing greatly on the same day. It’s not often God makes you look great play great and sing great all on the same frickin’ day man!!
I love to see the comments you get! It is clear you deeply move people with your craft and, like so many other followers, I want to do my part to share your gifts with the world!
Not necessarily the 60 s his by gonra styles span from swamp dog blue to rockabilly to country slide steel and on and on this guitarst is a legend in his own right 👍👏🏴
In the of "artists" like The weekend who is a no talent ass clown but top 40, the records labels made it this way and real talented musicians like JJ don't even get a whiff. That's why RUclips has been so valuable the the real musicians
None better. They should give him a Grammy just because! 😬 I used to watch Stevie Ray Vaughn and be amazed at what he did and how easy he made it look. I get the same amazement from watching Justin. It is just so dang good and he makes it look so dang easy. It’s not!!
JJ does real music, those asshats at the Grammys stand around pattin each others asses for playin what thay're told to play...dont need no stinkin grammy!
Anyone can play fast, just takes practice. But what CAN'T be taught is *feel*. SRV was the first who genuinely made me FEEL what he was playing. And no slight on other incredibly talented guitarists, but very, very few of them manage to evoke that same feeling. Justin does. The man doesn't just have talent, he has a GIFT.
I've been practicing that technique of plucking both the rhythm and lead. When you do it, it's so beautiful, so powerful. When I do it, I sin against Nature.
@@younger9060 Oh, I am enjoying myself every day when I pick up a guitar, don't get me wrong. I'd just like to be able to move people with music the way Johnson moves me with his music :)
He's at one with his guitar... a true artist, fluid, smooth moves, the music flows like water from his fingers, his heart, and his soul.... he is the music, he is the instrument...Wonder if his Mom knew SRV.....LOL thats who I think he resembles, and that is quite a compliment!!! Keep pickin!!! Love it!
I closed my eyes and saw a couple of country boys hoppin the ten o'clock train to Memphis. As they walked the cars they stumbled on a sweet game of poker... The air thick with cigar smoke, sweet Bourbon, and a sliver of perfume. The click of the car wheels on the track increased as the game grew more intense and the pot grew. Nothing like a new watch and some diamond earrings to catch a man's eye. Man I get lost in his music! I love it!
Now this is a man who I rate right up with the very best that have ever lived. I believe that if you take any name of any great person in music and compare them, Justin comes out on top every time. Keep rocking my world man.
I listen to a lot of the old blues, and when I first came across Justin on you tube I couldn't seem to get enough. After listening to several of his vids, I was thinking that if there was a one string instrument he would make it sing well, damn!!! he didn't let me down, it wasn't but a couple of vids later that I came across a vid that he was playing a single string! And did he put a hurt'n on it!!!
Oh Justin, when it comes to you playing guitar without the slide, no one else compares, imo. It's an awesome thing to watch and a joyous thing to hear!!!
Johnny Winters & SRV's spirit lives through Justin.... You've got one hell of a shoes to fill, but so far you're doing an awesome job.Even when I'm not up for music, I just have to listen to your stuff.May the wind always blow in you back.God Bless..
Love your guitar playing, I've been playing for almost a year coming soon and I'm a bit of a slow learner, so I've been looking back to your one minute riffs and they're really helping me out with simple finger placement and everything. And I'm definitely using them alot for both warmups and improv on guitar. Thanks so much for the lessons and stuff you do it really helps out alot!
The last name works ... few can sound like 2 guitars like Ol' Robert did ... Justin's got that mojo ... that feel - I pick up my guitar after watching him every time ... THAT's inspiration - thanks JJ - keep playin' them blues ...

DUDE, STRAIGHT UP, YOU ROCK! Thanks for the awesome music. got a long play list that helps me keep my focus while crushing online Poker tournaments. my ten year old daughter loves to fall asleep listening to your tunes too.
Clearly influenced by RL Burnside, Justin takes a great sound and shows how much further you can go with it. So great - THIS is how to get the joint moving with just a guitar!
this guy is so good ,i found him about 3 weeks ago, and i have not been able to stop listening to him. the last guy before him that had me fixed on guitar was Albert King, and before him was the guy who loved him,Stevie Ray Vaughan. thanks so much for sharing. keep up that great guitar.
Sitting here chasing away the Coronavirus blues sipping on some Buffalo Trace while watching Justin play his Buffalo Trace guitar. Inspiring young man.
Justin did you have a mentor when you were young or did your talent come through long hours of practicing on your own? Just curious how you got started...
Thanks for watching! Please Hit the SUBSCRIBE button while you're here! 😁
Love the way you play that guitar. That's real.
Спасибо из России!!!
Dude...you definitely become one with that guitar...freakin hot ! Much love
According to Wikipedia you only have 20 guitars. 😂😁. I enjoy the music brother thank you 🙏
You are an inspiration to the the Guitar World!! Thank you thank you thank you!
He underrated because ratings don’t go where he is.
Amen to that, Brother!
He has to be fuckin upstairs!!!!! King
Good one! :D
Magic fingers Justin !!!
🎸
This guy is so underrated he’s amazing and no one seems to know who he is
No shit. I'm like... how come EVERYONE doesn't know who he is? Even my guitar playing friends don't know who he is. Crazy shit. Hiding out here on RUclips. I'm glad I found him!!! :-)
Yeah, oh for the day when we say his name and others *finally* get how awesome his style is! #abitlatetotheparty
Not in MY book. Justin's fantastic!
Not by me dude, who's underrated him then in your opinion...?
No he's not
“You’re a wizard Justin”

Ol Grey Bear that’s why I’ve labeled him the wizard of no words! Ain’t none needed! 👌
@@nancyscarbrough3450 But it would be sure damn nice if he had a harmonica player with him on some tracks. Yet he would need some of the best!

The guitar is his voice.

So true
If you lived in 60s or in the old days you will be a legend. In these days people don’t care about talented people 😓
well, he doesn't , I did, and he does..and I do care....such a wild card for us group of the 70's
Not necessarily the 60 s his by gonra styles span from swamp dog blue to rockabilly to country slide steel and on and on this guitarst is a legend in his own right 👍👏🏴

It was John Lee Hooker who said “ it’s in him,it’s got to come out”,and boy! does it ever!!
Let that boy Boggie!!
None better. They should give him a Grammy just because! 😬
I used to watch Stevie Ray Vaughn and be amazed at what he did and how easy he made it look. I get the same amazement from watching Justin. It is just so dang good and he makes it look so dang easy. It’s not!!
I hear THAT. I discovered Justin through my interest in (and near worship of) SRV.
JJ does real music, those asshats at the Grammys stand around pattin each others asses for playin what thay're told to play...dont need no stinkin grammy!

Justin does. The man doesn't just have talent, he has a GIFT.
Absolutely Agree! 💯
If I could play like this dude, I'd keep myself entertained for the rest of my life.
Me too!
THIS MAN WILL ONE DAY BE A CULT LEGEND OF UNPRECEDENTED PROPORTION
This is all nite riding music. Right there.
oooooh yeah
Just listened with my son. Powerful five minutes, 53 seconds of music.
This just in, Justin Johnson has become keeper of the cross roads, no one else need apply, dadgum son
That's some awesomeness. Thanks Justin.

Well said Dave!
I've been practicing that technique of plucking both the rhythm and lead. When you do it, it's so beautiful, so powerful.
When I do it, I sin against Nature.
Keep pluking.
Dont give up try again and again
@@carlheinzjur735 I am! :)
@@younger9060 Oh, I am enjoying myself every day when I pick up a guitar, don't get me wrong. I'd just like to be able to move people with music the way Johnson moves me with his music :)
Practice, practice practice, no better teacher than this rocker
Best guitarist of this time.
The greatest guitarist ever born, Justin Johnson.
Not quite. He's certainly one of the greatest blues guitarists, but Tommy Emmanuel still holds G.O.A.T. in my book.
Man, that little kick drum makes it so groovy🤤
He's at one with his guitar... a true artist, fluid, smooth moves, the music flows like water from his fingers, his heart, and his soul.... he is the music, he is the instrument...Wonder if his Mom knew SRV.....LOL thats who I think he resembles, and that is quite a compliment!!! Keep pickin!!! Love it!
Justin can pick and finger like no one currently alive, awesome!
I can listen to this all day! 😎
Just seeing and hearing the words "Juke Joint." makes me smile
Doesnt matter what he’s playing... I could listen to it all day 👍👍👍
His emotions are wired directly to his fingers, incredible.
I'm certain that when we were all standin' in line for musical talent, Justin got my portion plus that of a hundred others.
I am laughing out loud on this one, thank you....I just love this particular Turq. Tune

Man I get lost in his music! I love it!
Still taking that acid bro...
🤮
Now this is a man who I rate right up with the very best that have ever lived. I believe that if you take any name of any great person in music and compare them, Justin comes out on top every time. Keep rocking my world man.
You've got a seat at the table of the Guitar God's, my good man! Play on!👍😎
20 раз уже смотрел! Зачётно лобаешь! Не хуже негров!💪👍🤙
Easily my favorite guitarist of modern day
This guy is the most badass man I’ve ever seen. Like of all time
Why sing when the guitar does it for you 😃👍👏🎸〽
I just Quit my Day Job
just to Listen to Justin J - 24 / 7/ 365 / All Day Long !
Anyone this talented doesn't have to seek fame or success......they'll find him!
This is incredible!
and for me, this Justin Johnson is what I truly llove rock on with, so outrageous
You are a guitar hero :)
The LEGENDARY Justin Johnson! How many hours a day does he spend with a guitar in his hands? It’s like a part of him.
Бог блюза и фингерстайла!!! сам Дьявол вложил Ему гитару в руки и музыку в сердце!!!
oh like I could ever forget the individuals true talent
One guitar, yet he makes it sound like three :) So talented. Both his shovel guitar and oil can one are sick too. Soulful flow Justin
Love listening to him play
Justin, you're a cool guy! Salam to you from the Caucasus !!!
I listen to a lot of the old blues, and when I first came across Justin on you tube I couldn't seem to get enough. After listening to several of his vids, I was thinking that if there was a one string instrument he would make it sing well, damn!!! he didn't let me down, it wasn't but a couple of vids later that I came across a vid that he was playing a single string! And did he put a hurt'n on it!!!
It’s really cool to watch a musician play so well with such ease.
Good Lord..you are the master Mr Johnson
You got some fire in your fingers and soul. Swamp blood.
Love your playing. Its sassy.
Love this tune
Omg Justin
You keep toppin yourself
You the King!!!!
Whenever I start ego trippin' after I play the guitar, I play the latest Justin Johnson video and I'm once again humbled.
That's great! I'm from the hill country of north Mississippi, less than 50 miles where both RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough came from.
Stevie Ray would be proud of this Dude He could be another great
would. could, should, iz
Oh Justin, when it comes to you playing guitar without the slide, no one else compares, imo. It's an awesome thing to watch and a joyous thing to hear!!!
Talent to no end
Justin plays with a rare combination of emotion and precision!
Justin you are the best most exiting guitarist have ever heard in my 69 years on this earth!
If I feel bad, I have now found the right medicine for me! Music from JJ! The best there is! Thanks!
I play this video everyday while having breakfast before leaving home to work. No best way to start the day!
Johnny Winters & SRV's spirit lives through Justin.... You've got one hell of a shoes to fill, but so far you're doing an awesome job.Even when I'm not up for music, I just have to listen to your stuff.May the wind always blow in you back.God Bless..
Absolutely the real deal...how anyone could give this a thumbs down is beyond comprehension.
Just started to listen to u yesterday with my dad and we are ABSOLUTELY LOVING YOUR MUSIC 🙂
October 05, 2021 a major favorite
A pure joy to experience
Just made my day a WHOLE lot better! Great as always JJ. And Big D needs a shout out for that wicked guitar, can't say I've seen that one yet.
Love your guitar playing, I've been playing for almost a year coming soon and I'm a bit of a slow learner, so I've been looking back to your one minute riffs and they're really helping me out with simple finger placement and everything. And I'm definitely using them alot for both warmups and improv on guitar. Thanks so much for the lessons and stuff you do it really helps out alot!
❤……thank u !
You are such a brilliant guitarist
to the moon and all around the universe, we could be solucky
You just took me back through every old whiskey filled, foggy , old mountain road , that I’ve ever crawled up....blues fill up
I smashed the like button a second after this gold started playing.
ditto
I press it before I start the video. Never disappointed. 😊
He's "DAMMIT GOOD!!"
Justin arrived in this world playing the Umbilical Chord. If anyone gets a chance to listen to him (live) - go - and never look back!
Just cuz someone is unbelievable, doesn’t mean he’s not believable. Justine watching and listening to you is unbelievable !
My ears are blind said the boy /me\ after hearing the most incredible ...cant even put a name on it...beautifully done Justin!
Sat back sipping a 20 year old single malt scotch listening to JJ play the guitar. Both were sublime.
One of your best 👏🏼👍🏼
The last name works ... few can sound like 2 guitars like Ol' Robert did ... Justin's got that mojo ... that feel - I pick up my guitar after watching him every time ... THAT's inspiration - thanks JJ - keep playin' them blues ...

Thanks for the awesome music. got a long play list that helps me keep my focus while crushing online Poker tournaments. my ten year old daughter loves to fall asleep listening to your tunes too.
Bro You're So Sick. Amazing Player For Sure, Bad Ass Axe...You and Big D got it goin on... Rock Steady!!!
I wake up every morning and this is my go to song. If your ever in Columbia TN let me know lol
Clearly influenced by RL Burnside, Justin takes a great sound and shows how much further you can go with it. So great - THIS is how to get the joint moving with just a guitar!
I was scrolling down the comments section looking for this! I've been listening to a lot of RL Burnside these days and I totally agree with you.
Justin you are the man!..enjoy your videos so much ...you make it look easy brother!..hats off to you sir!..Thanks!
I’ve never heard a guitar sound soo good ! ❤️
You should do a cover of a Lynyrd Skynyrd track like Call Me The Breeze or Swamp Music. That would be totally sick
@@cataclem28 Skynyrd did a hot version of it.
He got it in him . . . He GOTTA get it out! Hot AND Cool at the same time!
Absolutly amazing, thanks man!
this guy is so good ,i found him about 3 weeks ago, and i have not been able to stop listening to him. the last guy before him that had me fixed on guitar was Albert King, and before him was the guy who loved him,Stevie Ray Vaughan. thanks so much for sharing. keep up that great guitar.
I was going to put more comments but I dont have time, I’ve listened to it 1000:times,,you are the blues man.
Justin Johnson; THE ONE MAN BLUES BAND .
Almost everything he does would be perfect for hardcore movies.
Joy to my ears 🎶🎶🎵
Killer tune dude. Always fixes my moods listening to his music. Without RUclips and people like Justin Johnson I'd be a miserable git.😎👍
Amazing ,He is feeling it .
Also, Kudos to the steady hand of the photographer
Sitting here chasing away the Coronavirus blues sipping on some Buffalo Trace while watching Justin play his Buffalo Trace guitar. Inspiring young man.
Outstanding music!
Forget Eric Clapton. The guitar god is Justin Johnson!
Justin did you have a mentor when you were young or did your talent come through long hours of practicing on your own? Just curious how you got started...
Been a while. I needed my medicine and you don't disappoint. Thank you sir.
Tears runnin' down my cheeks! I'll be booking you on my cruise in the future. Bless your southern heart! My young friend!
