    Justin, you are my favorite guitar player ever and I've heard them all; I am 70. Really want to thank you for touching my life with your music. You never disappoint. I am just so happy to have found you. I love the time you take bringing this to all of us. Such an outstanding human being. Much love.

    While too many people try to copy Hendrix and emulate the 60's bands, you forged ahead and created a new sound.
    Let the rest eat your dust.
    You are fantastic! Keep growing your sound; it's one of a kind!

    Eleven months ago „@ezradaniel458“ had posted, that „This guy was touched by the hands of GOD“. „His soulexpression takes you to another dimension.“
    There is actually nothing more to add to these words of respect. But I would like to add a few words of my own as a tribute to Justin Johnson:
    I am 67 years old, and, as a music lover, I especially loved the rock- and blues - ballads of the bands in the 60s and 70s. This is where my love for soul- and blues music developed. There were and are many famous blues guitarists, like John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, …! But Justin Johnson surpasses them all, because he plays the Blues from his deepest heart and soul. Justin, you have been sent to earth by God, to play your spectacular Delta Blues Guitar, to connect people´s souls together. It seems to me, as if your hands are being guided by angels. Thank You for your incredible and fantastic Blues Guitar Play, that I will love for the rest of my life. God bless You. Kind regards from Stuttgart, Germany.

    I recognized that ancient lap steel from "Voices from the Attic" as soon as I saw the notification pop up. Magic, haunting, sublime. Such a treat. Thank you kindly for that playlist, Justin. It hits the spot, big time. I already heard most of these tracks individually but that didn't stop me from listening to the whole thing again with pleasure. First piece I ever heard from you was "Ghost from the Mountain" featured on your "Dark Music Blues to Escape to..." # 1, still one of my favorites up to this day. You Sir are without a doubt one of the most inspirational guitarist and finest Blues-man of our time. Best regards from France.
    Please be well and keep up your great work, partner. If you got more dark blues and lap steel to share with us, lucky viewers, by all means do. Can't get tired of this, 👏🙏👍.

    This compilation is so soothing that oftentimes when I put it on to fall asleep to, I’m gone before the second song even ends.
    I’m convinced that the best way to listen is turned so low it’s almost imperceptible, so the sound can wind it’s way through my dreams like a tendril of smoke on the wind.
    Someday, I will own your entire discography on CD.

    I get such cool ideas for instruments from this channel. Ammo box, shovel and now this beautiful carved lap slide. I can't wait for summer to get busy building stuff again. I already have too many guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos and dulcimers. My wife hates how much wall and floor space it takes to keep them handy, but this is just too cool to pass up. Too much fun and with a slide guitar you don't have all the painful fret and nut work to do, just get the scale correct. Ah, life is wonderful, and my wife still loves me and to listen, so I'm good...

    There is a guitar soul/spirit at work here. It inspires me to find it. I close my eyes late at night playing, trying to finding that connection. My wife says, “It sounds so dark.” Find the darkness then move towards the light?” Otherwise, I am just another dime a dozen guitar player. I am old, so time is ticking down.

      Yup, I looked at him and sure as heck did not get the impression I did when I heard him start talking about music theory. It was a freakin master class. I guess I should have anticipated that. Deep, high level, schooling, as well, self or institutional. Actually, both, you learn the basics, and then, if you are this guy, you get busy. I love his guitar builds, too. Have you heard him on a single string? Insane.

    Let me tell you…. This man is a master of his craft. A legend in the making. This not only takes skill, but something in your blood. Your very DNA. -I’m not a very religious person; in the layman’s eye. But I can tell you that music like this makes me believe! I travel almost every day. Many miles. A remnant of the door-to-door salesman. We have now become a company slut. But if I have music like this, after a long day on the road. Talking to, too many people; in a room made for budget and not comfort. Sitting on a king-size bed knowing that I just need one side of the electric blanket switched on, then the realization kicks in; -it gets lonely. But it’s the kind of lonely that music like this makes into a painting. Thank you.

This is music that I can’t imagine anybody not enjoying and relating to.Everybody knows the blues, but your take on it is uniquely beautiful and moving. Thank you so much.👍🏻🤟🏻… you are a guitar 🥷🏿.

    Late, one Autumnal night, a ragged and wind blown man, strode, with an air of unnatural confidence, along a dirt track at the edge of the forest, leaves whipping his ankles. Somewhere, deep within that dark and lonesome place, a howl, of curious quality and unusual resonance, began it's eerie journey, between the moonlit twigs and cloud hidden branches, to wrap itself, in an affectionate gesture of recognition and respect, around our stranger with the curious gait, the hearing of which, caused a flicker of something approaching appreciation, to dance, briefly, across his stern, but otherwise, expressionless face.
