Whatever's going on in the world, nothing helps me relax more than sitting back on the porch, picking some slow, meandering blues.

My daughter just passed away 4 days ago and the good lord put ur music in my path and u somehow played my broken heart through ur guitar thanks for ur ability to help me without knowing it god bless
Yes, I know what you mean...I found him on my phone one lonely morning as I mourn my son's death...God must use him to help us thru these tears. God's Love, Mary
I hope you’re doing ok
@@alexandereisen3486 thank u
@@wendyspiegeland1713 hope you both are well
I have that same shirt that he is wearing fancy shirts
Coming from a 43 year old man that has played the blues for 35 years. This is my favorite blues artist alive. For what its worth I'd love to have a session with Justin as would so many I'm sure
I dont have Facebook unfortunately
Good Lordy Lordy we have some blues here
Snap…35 years too,& would love to jam with him
I'm right there with ya, man. I'm 51, and started learnin' them blues at 13. I fail at solo, but I can lay down some real feels, when it comes to rythym and back up vocals. A night, jammin' out with Justin, would be a wholesome memory to take to my grave! 👍👍👍
There isn't a problem in the world that I can't let go of for a while just sitting on the porch with my guitar. The huge difference being, I don't sound anywhere near this good. That little PRS really sings for you. Thanks for the escape.
So true...thx for open another world. At least for a short while. ❤
I am 71 years old and have listened to many, many different “blues guitarist/ artists ” over my lifetime. Justin Johnson is absolutely at the top of this list!
He is a “master craftsman“ and plays the guitar so effortlessly it just seems to be part of him. I guess that it is more than apparent that it part of his heart and soul....keep up the good work!👏👍❤️
Frank Carrio That is almost word for word what I was going to say. The only difference is that I am 72.
Totally agree...& we've seen many . Justin seems to be the new wave of dedicated musicians that can play any style & genre !
Love the guys sounds...
I love and have supported Justin's projects from the beginning. Love his command, but Billy Strings is the king of the fret board right now. Justin just may agree. Kids bad ass just like Justin.
@@michaelgoble8200 DITTO! I'm 66.
How can you say that? Blues is vocals first. This guy is so far off from the blues it’s sad. Zero feeling
The thing I love about this channel is the breadth of experience that you can cull from it. If you just look at this video, you fall into the typical youtube keyboard warrior trap: if I had an elite PRS guitar, the right amp, and all those pedals...then I could be a tone-master blues guru. But if you've followed this channel for any length to time, you know Justin could do the same with some string taped over a toilet seat.
100% agreed
I get what you are saying, but isn't this a PRS SE anyway? It sounds great and obviously he is killing it (like he does any other thing with strings), but I wouldn't really call this an elite guitar. Also I don't see anyone saying they could do this. It looks to me like it is 100% praise and appreciation. So I'm just curious -- why bring the negativity?
I don't think there's many serious guitar players saying that lol not the ones playing long enough to understand where the tone master blues guru sound comes from anyway.
You all are taking what I said a bit too seriously. I wasn't addressing anyone or anything specifically. I just meant that when you browse youtube for stringed instrument videos--whether it is guitar, or ukulele, or mandolin--gear is often highlighted. However, when you watch videos published by people like Justin or Jack Broadbent, you become aware that the gear is an afterthought and not essential.
@@DrRonaldSIpock 100% agreed
I learned the Em chord today. Tomorrow, this.
@Kaushik Kurudi just learned stairway. Been practicing non-stop for in all the guitar stores.
@@Airborne_Arty82 Been playing for years. The magic is not what chords the man can play! Justin Johnson has the fingers of a neuro surgeon!
@@Airborne_Arty82 ...LOL!
Hahaha...I hear you, now that I have B7 down I should be ready to tour Monday at the latest.
@@Johnnywhamo that one was a bitch but now my left hand will never forget it as long as I live. I just tried to do an air b7 and realised it's like you're flipping the bird with arthritis.
How lucky am I to be alive in a time when I’m given the opportunity to watch a modern master of guitar play close up. View his fingerings, techniques and listen to incredible instruments thru top of the line audio equipment. How much would it be worth to go back in time and be afforded the chance to sit this close to Son House or Robert Johnson. This old dying gray beard has listened to a lot of em come and go, and you young fella are as good as they come. BRAVO Thanks for being you and letting me watch.
His performance amazed me too. Thank you friend for the good review.
"dying gray beard" - I can only assume you are referring to the color of your beard. Being um later in life myself, I certainly agree with your assessment of Justin's playing.
Lindsey, the very very best technical guitarists are alive right now! Justin is a rarity because he’s got soul - so many don’t. It’s the “Gilmore syndrome “. Dave wasn’t a shredder or technical master - but he was one of the best ever!
I see a lot of technical prowess, but not a lot of soul, these days. Just say’n, one dying grey beard to another - lol!
Peace
I am always seeing people praising this guy and honestly he is not that great of a player, his vibrato is very amateurish and playing in general is very amateurish idk why people think he’s so great, I guess it really boils down to the fact that there are no actual real guitar players left so they cling to someone who is mediocre at best, sad state we’re in
What a wonderful response Lindsay, we are very Lucky in this Modern World, despite some inconveniences occasionally.
The sound of the wind and the cicada with your playing makes this so atmospheric and therapeutic man... I absolutely love this. GOD FUCKING BLESS YOU MAN.
it,s a water sprinkler :P
I thought it was cicadas too. But with it slowly coming back and slowly going out. I think you may be right. Around my house cicadas don't stop and start back like that. Plus they only talk at night.
I don’t care what it is .... it is amazing!
@@RENEDU2 I thought it was rattlesnakes..well let's face it Justin's guitar playing could tame them probably anyways
One less word would be wise because
the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
We need to get JJ to 1 million. Spread the word, there's a new guitar God!
Yes, there is😎👍🎶🎸
Suby przybywają bardzo szybko. Pamiętam jak tu było około 300k i to było rok temu. Za rok może być już milion.

Already tune. Gue ude sabskrybe channel ini. Musik yg asiik. Y'r inspirin me a lot Mr Johnson😎
Amazing
I built my own 3 stringed cigar box guitar, started playing slide, and continued to study the blues and playing it with my acoustic. You are such an inspiration!
It isn't about whether you can you can "Play" the blues..it's whether you can "FEEL" the blues...and this man clearly possesses the latter ability. ;) great playing, def subbed.
Can’t it be both?
It's Friday tomorrow, and I've been dragging myself through a particularly bad week . I'm going to pour myself a glass of something nice and kick back with this playing in the background. Thank you Justin!
Lmao it's friday tomorrow actually.i am planning the same haha
Wonderful!! The Cicadas in the background just add "atmosphere".
When things are looking scary in the world, you give us the sweet sound of blues and it makes everything feel so much better. Thank you for these wonderful musical interludes.
Yes!
And now PRS should pay you for the best ad they're ever likely to get for this guitar.
I’m going to buy one now.
The background sounds fit perfectly with the mood.
Halloween 2021
Who knew watching and listening to one person play one acoustic guitar for over 10 minutes without a word said or sung could be so mesmerizing. Amazing. It could’ve been an hour and held my attention the whole time.
Your ability to keep the bass line going at a different tempo than the melody is the mark of a true musician! That's awesome. Thanks for putting this up. i'm in.
As someone a few months into learning fingerstlye I have a new appreciation for this right here. He makes it look so easy.
It’s the same tempo, just different application. Bass may be whole notes where the other parts are 1/4 or 1/8 and so on. Regardless he’s very good.
@@Nick-jr6qe You're right. It is the same tempo. Just a different duration based on note duration.
JJ hi again from Afghanistan WOW WOW AND WOW !! A free concert for us over here again THE TROOPS SAY THANK YOU THANK YOU A TOUCH OF HOME !!!!!! WE APPRECIATE YOU SIR !!
Where other people doodle circles and lines on scrap paper, you effortlessly draw forth magic from those strings. Thank you!
Probably the finest bit of slow acoustic blues I've ever seen. Boy can we please have an album full. Absolutely wonderful.
Another outstanding performance Justin. You never cease to amaze me with your guitar prowess. You keep playing and I'll keep listening 🎧. I guess that for blues, you want a brighter sound. I've learned so much about guitars and technique from watching your videos.
Love to see guitarists of old watch you today and just realize that their style and feel never lost its soul and still finds those who embrace it now today.
I do declare, that’s the best acoustic version of Slow Train I’ve heard yet, thank you!
I'm just beginning with guitar, but I look forward to when I can pick it up and just play my raw emotions out. This seems like such a therapeutic outlet.
Hi everyone, O hope you all are having a wonderful and safe day, much love from Cincinnati.
Take care and God bless
🤎Gabe🤎
Took me 12 minutes to finish my jack on the rocks, it did slow me down in a good good way. Thanks again Justin.
Stevie Ray is looking down on you and smiling upon you keep doing what you do "Sky's the limit"
A true old black blues soul in Justin. I ordered this little PRS parlor yesterday and even though it’s on back order and will take a little longer to get here than usual, I can’t wait to get my hands on it. In the meantime I just keep watching Justin’s videos and dreaming😎 thanks Justin! You are a true inspiration.
It is always such a pleasure to hear Justin play!
What a journey, lost deep in the highs and lows where you loose control over your neck muscles and the music is just taking you on a ride, surfing on the waves on the peaks then down into the the troughs. Beautiful, soulful, and inspiring 👍👍👍
Amazing, you continually blow me away with the soulful playing and pure joy I see on your face as you do so. You make it all seem so effortless, as someone who knows better, thank you for sharing your heart and so much SOUL with us
Thank you JJ - for DOING and SHARING!

You sir have just made my souls day!!
Justin, your playing always captivates me. When i use to plat guitar i would play whatever i was able to "teach myself". I never had any practical lessons other that sitting with a friend a time or two. So when i sit and watch you play i kind of get the feeling that you are also self taught. The depth and breadth of what you can get out of just 2-3 strings is amazing, never mind a full six strings. As always, thank you so much for sharing your talent and love for guitar. May you forever be one of the greater inspirations to future guitarist because you brother have an amazing talent. You truly seem like a real world "August Rush."
If there is a better exponent of the magic art of blues/roots guitar I'd like to know who it is. It's not just the fingers it's the soul they convey that's unparalleled.
You just made my day seeing you play is like seeing my son again...do you ever sell these music videos...I would love to have them to enjoy when I'm off line...God's love, Mary
This video is the reason i got interested in blues, back in the first covid lock down.... started playing haven't stopped.
Justin is always there when u need to relax listening to a good music
Best slow acoustic blues..
for someone like me who loves slow blues its like a food for my soul..
Seems like I can keep listen to this for very long long time..
Thanks for this wonderful blues
Justin always knows how to bring out the soul in his guitars... and this PRS has a lot of soul coming through. I could listen to this all day. In fact, I think I just might! Cheers brother!
This song an Blues Guitar Meditation help me get the day going. Thank you sir
why do you make this look so easy, amazing guitar playing.
Amazing how tuning down a 1/2 step can give it such a nice rich sound for blues
That's what I call guitar playing extraordinaire.
You know someone is super awesome at what they do when nature joins in like that! Man then things where singing to your wonderful playing!! WOW.
And to get the locusts (cicadas) to contribute-wow just wow
They were almost acting like a flanger.
G Demolished or a reverse tape echo
You’re hearing a rich contextualised sonic tapestry. Magic innit.
Being a city boy from Boston, I thought it was rattlers .... HAHA. Thanks Justin.
It's a treat. You make it look so easy. Enjoy every time.
I'm actually working from home right this minute, and that was the most pleasant 11 minutes of my day, thank you, that was awesome 😀.
Uuummmmmm , YES!!!! ohhhhhhh!!!! Soooooo gooood----- . 61year s you are one of the best musicians I've ever heard---- saw a bunch of famous artists live in the 70s
Perfect music as I am on my porch on a lazy afternoon brushing my sister in law's service dog.
I REALLY love and adore his playing, seems so simple but is damn top of the blues scene
Absolutely beautiful, you are truly gifted, you have a calming effect 😊 and a very pleasing demeanor as you play with seemingly effortless precision. Thankyou for making me get back into my piano 🎹, your amazing.
Justin Johnston is, without a doubt, a MASTER of the blues guitar!!!’n
Awesome stuff, Justin! And the sound of the bugs on a second layer the whole time, really creates a hell of a mood... like we´re all over your porch just laying back and escaping to the music. Love this!
Does it for me too! I like the birds on the fret board and the sound, very laid back.
Great guitar and playing. Love solo guitar playing. So relaxing! Thanks Justin,see you at the next video 😎
I love the sounds of nature as your backup singers.
at the start of the video i could already tell this is gonna be a good video. absolutely amazing man, keep up the great work!
"Ciao"from lucca, italy...... you are actually one of the best guitar player in the world for me , your music is really fantastic ......
My depression just turned into gentle acceptance.
Yes
Wow. Beautifully said 😍
Yes, perfectly said. Something about the consistency of his tempo and soft deviations to his accent notes really can penetrate deep into one’s soul!! :)
Well get over yourself
My stays the same
Justin Johnson... Your site has been an absolute blessing to those of us whom have suffered during this pandemic. I thoroughly appreciate the release of tension I get from listening to you play! God's blessings to you and yours, man.
I love how the locusts fade in and out in the background...even they are feelin’ it ;)
Thank you so very much! Extremely grateful to be a part of your talents....Best wishes 👏
That guy is the Houdini of guitar players! Magnificent!
This man never ceases to amaze me.
We all wish we can grab a guitar and play ten straight minutes like him
Wow, love this. Simple blues melody in the key of A-Flat with a continuous base line taken to an insane level of creativity and all in time. Could listen to Justin play all day long on an acoustic guitar. Very inspiring and helping me to be a better player just watching him.
Hello from Germany. You keep bringing me down after a hard day's work.
Watching and hearing some JJ each day has really lifted my spirits and guitar play.
that is a BEAUTIFUL guitar, and such great relaxed playing. Love this.
Love when he plays acoustic. My uncle got me turned onto his music, didnt even know of him until 2 years ago. So glad I finally found his youtube account!
BB the King once said "It's hard to bend them 'coustic strings."
You just have to develop the kung fu grip. I bend mine up all the time
He also said to Stevie Ray Vaughn (and rightly so)... You pretty good, but if you listen to the king, you can be really good.
blues is the best music in the world!!! greetings from italy!!!
Thanks justin. Thanks. Beer, whiskey or a cold homemade sweet tea would be perfect when listening to this. Love it bro. Keep'er goin.
🤜🤛
You have what we call in New Zealand, Mana. Just an amazing player and person. Just chilling out on some Wild Turkey when I came across your channel. Definitely put me in the right space.
I don't usually leave comments because I have nothing to say. Now I want to say something in appreciation of JJ's unbelievable talent, but I'm speechless.
love the ambient sounds of the wind rustling through the leaves. Oh, and the guitar work is masterful
Save these to ‘best’ on my old iphone5. Play back with my “Poundland buds”. And it sounds so good. Thanks for the sharing, and your wonderful guitar touch! X
Thanks so very much. From my Glasgow tenement. X
Beautiful Blues to Relax and forget please play more like this.
Awesome as always, Justin. Love your pure childlike enthusiasm when reviewing a new guitar...be it a CBG or a $16K French high tech custom. Thanks for sharing your love of music with us...no matter from which instrument it emanates. You are the pandemic quarantine antidote! 🎩
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I appreciate ya!
It's awesome you also provide the tabs. I have bought too already: Blackwood Lullaby (very difficult for me, I have months of work, working everyday on it.) and the Case of Gone (Can't say more easy). Those things don't work if you don't put the right feeling, so the vid is a must to understand how it works. Once I will play those 2 correctly, at LOOKING AS RELAX AS YOU ;-), I'll be a better guitarist.
Long life to blues, this is music. Thanks to be such a great inspiration for so many people following your channel.
Who would leave a dislike?? I learned to pick from just one of your vids man!
man your playing with the sounds of summer in the background..heartwarming
Can’t wait for it to get warm outside again lol. I have 2 feet of snow on the ground where I am. My arms hurt from shoveling lol
Something great about the internet is that it's way easier to learn instruments now. I always say I would have wanted to be born in the 50's, but man I am lucky to have videos like this to learn from.
You used to genuinely have a mentor for everything. A trade, an instrument, or get your hands on expensive books. The internet is truly a blessing for all that want to achieve that knowledge. Honestly, on that part of the spectrum, it's a beautiful thing. I was born in 94, and was blessed by the web to learn an instrument. I'm really grateful.
Justin has a way of transporting you into a different dimension. I can listen to him play all day long
What the hell, why doesn’t this guy have more subscribers? His playing is perfect! Keep up the good work 👏🏼
Spread the word!!!!
It's because blues aren't made for everyone only those who are broken can really feel the depth of it ...
Damn that's some smooth stuff to my ears. Justin Johnson, always great to hear you play. This one in particular id like to learn.
I listen to your music while I have a Saturday and Sunday relaxation
Amazing !

Thank You J.J. Nobody does it like YOU
I always go back to the heart of it all and you have expressed the heart and soul of it ...Bless you eternity I feel you ...thank YOU
All notifications turned ON, like my old lady when I put this on for ambiance when she has some of that Tequila Rose ;)
shit that was funny dude
Definitely going to try that!
If only my hubby knew what this music does for me...maybe he'd turn off the tv, or let me turn this guy on in our room!...amazing idea!
Since watching and listening to you my love for the guitar is back. Thank you for what you do, you are the best!
I would love to hear Lightning Hopkins do some singing to this..your playing here would fit him perfect..amazing Justin🔥🎶🔥🎶
So gorgeous. Soeme of the most beautiful acoustic blues you will ever hear. Wow.
The cicadas just make the music better, they add a background that’s just unreal
Best acoustic sound I’ve ever heard.
Only been playin a lil under a year and always felt more comfy with my finger picking dynamics over my aggressive flat picking playin this makes me never wanna play with a pick again lol
There's never any harm in doing both so you can use whatever the occasion calls for, I'd recommend checking out Chris bucks technique for a bit of inspiration
Like a flowing river.........beautiful!!!
