    There's good players, great players, then there are those once in a lifetime phenomenally gifted players... this guy is one of those so blessed with an extraordinary gift. It's not about how many notes you can squeeze into 4 bars of music, esp Blues. It's about feeling it, expression, rhythm and so on. This guy does all of it without a second thought, truly love to hear Justin play and I'm not necessarily a blues aficionado, I like many different styles of music. All I see and hear is a pure inherent gift and talent. Keep playing Justin, I'll keep listening.

      @AnEducatedASSumption 4 года назад +30

      Michael Miller that’s not how it works... There’s still as much as a half inch to an inch worth of tonal play around those dots. You could put your finger right on that dot and simply roll your finger forward and back to get different notes. So going from the 1st fret all the way up to the 9th and having the notes work with each other does take a lot of skill

    • @richskater
      @richskater 4 года назад +11

      It helps that he's playing the blues. Not to take anything away from his skill but one of the characteristics of the blues genre is microtonal bends. Basically, you have a little wiggle room to be out of tune, that's part of the blues sound. It's were all that good dissonance and grit comes from. Though you still have to know how/when/where/why to use that power.

So your snide comment to this lady is quite pointless, given that there is objectively bad and good music. If you like bad music you have bad taste, if you like good music you have a good ear for music itself.

    RUclips needs a lesson from my grandmother as to what is acceptable conduct... and what is NOT! You NEVER interrupt in the middle of a performance for ANY reason other than to announce that the building's on fire, or worse. This was a stellar performance that did not need to be broken by the sound of some Brit hawking lessons on how to play the blues on your guitar. Especially, when you are getting a lesson from a performance by one of the very best in the field!
    Great job Justin! Absolutely incredible... as usual!
