About Josh Turner Guitar
Josh began making TH-cam videos in 2007. Ranging from popular to esoteric, local to far flung, and playful to serious, Josh’s videos offer a little something for everyone. Josh also performs regularly with long-time collaborator, Carson McKee, as the folk duo The Other Favorites. Josh’s first full-length solo album, As Good A Place As Any, was released in April 2019.
“A time to refrain from embracing.” Wow. Weirdly relevant to our time. Beautiful performance, as always, Joshes!
You have a great channel, Reina!
How is it "weirdly" relevant?
Edit 3 years later: Because.
Al the Alligator because we literally can’t embrace rn
Oh no, don't make it about "social distancing", please. Beautiful song, but it's about something else. Repent, and hug someone.
@@waldenmathews8059 Just don’t hug me. Keep your distance please.
I'm sitting in my office in a completely empty office building listening to this on a loop and crying. It's super cathartic. What a weird and sad time... but it's just a season, like all others. And like all seasons, it will pass on to the next one in time. Thanks so much for bringing this into the world, Josh. It's really helping me today.
Not much beats a good cry, Grace. Emotions are the seasoning of life. This young man stirs the pot so we all come to see what he is cooking. Stay safe my friend Grace!
YourFriendGrace - sitting on my couch crying, too
You hit the nail on the head sister.
@@calwilliams1506
me now too...
I saw your comment and thought, "What?"
Then I pushed play ...
All of a sudden, somehow, I must have something in my eye.
The sheer ability and talent of Josh Turner is truly mind-boggling. He can write, play, sing, arrange, accompany, harmonize, and work with other musicians. If you truly love music, you could do a lot worse than listening to everything this young man can offer. Josh, I am so glad you do what you do.
Absolutely!!
Damn, Josh. You and the twins are equally gifted. The sound production was amazing, man.
The Hollywood'ers and 'Professional Musicians' are doing prime time shows from their living rooms and music dens. We've had Josh for years setting the bar. Remember "The Weight"?? It was done in 2015. 5 years ago! This guy is not only one of the musicians of a generation, he's also a technology whiz!
It amazes me that after all these years, he looks just as young. I still can’t tell how old he is.
@@100gnomes3 Playing music seems to keep you young. 😉
Simon Xarchos Adobe After Effects! 😆
Yes. Many of the recent livestreams from well known singers (Nora Jones e.g.) are terrible production compared to JT's. High quality videos are harder than they look.
I played this to my father, and he loved it. He was good friends with pete, I grew up hearing so many stories. You really made my dad's day today, Josh. Thank you so much!
Thanks Josh. I came of age with the Byrds. Pete was a big part of my life at that time. I turned 71 on the 16th 2020. Thanks again.
Another comment from me, to try again to express my appreciation. This is a recording for the ages. Balm for the soul. The guitar chords are so rich, the break is so powerful and musical, and the ending is like the end of a sacred prayer. I can only marvel at the fact that such a young man can do full justice to this song and these ancient words of wisdom. Without hyperbole, it is a transcendent listening experience.
And throw in that he is literally his own band...musical arrangement, vocals, backups, 12 string, bass, percussion, video editing and somehow magically recreating himself doing all of this together!!!
Actually it IS a Sacred Prayer. Straight out of the Bible. If you’d like, Read the book Ecclesiastes... Old Testament. I get great solace from that book. “There is nothing new under the sun” comes from there. And these lyrics as well: ch 3 verses 1-8. The entire “book” is very short and it is quite different from what we read today, but it’s worth it IMHO.
@@adiematz2878 Thanks, Adie. I was aware of the origin of the lyric, but I was just emphasising how well Josh managed to capture the peaceful mood of the words in the end of his performance. The biblical passage is of great comfort to me, too, and something I hold dear as literature/poetry.
It like to wane waxing backwards, or vise versa, if you will. We could get all knowed up book wise but never LEaRN what these omens see, let alone wonderin about the future that was just plain yesterday. Oh, my lord, it washes over me in waves by the sea of mankind surfin like a tadpole on a June bug! Amen.
Pete would have loved this. I remember him singing this to my class growing up.
Autotune is the disease. Josh Turner is the cure. Thank the heavens there are young people willing to explore and develop some real talent. Bless you and your entire crew, Josh.
Thank Josh, 🤗 , 'heaven' can wait {for(ever) what reason}😷
Pete Seeger was a legend. The week he passed on the open mic i play at gave him a tribute. But certainly the Byrds perfected this amazing song.
The Byrds certainly did something remarkable with this song... but this is the version closest to perfection.
Great job! Interesting thing about this song is that virtually all of it can be found in the Bible in the first eight verses of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes. It was written by King Solomon, son of King David. Amazing how relevant the words were then, in the 60s when this song was first made popular, and today. Makes a person realize that while so much has changed, there is so much about humanity that hasn't.
I was thinking the same!
Jesus freaks would literally find a porn movie script in the Bible. It's the art of being obsessed with Jesus.
@@PaoloCaglioLMT Except if you did a 5 second Google search you'd know the lyrics are literally taken from the part of the Bible they mention. They didn't "find it", the song was intentionally written that way.
@@PaoloCaglioLMT
Have you ever heard of David and Bathsheba? There is illicit sex in n the Bible and it's consequences.
@@PaoloCaglioLMT 🤦♂️It's literally lifted straight from Ecclesiastes 3. As in, word for word.
It absolutely amazes me that a song written in the 50s (when I was a child) could have such relevance today. Music is universal and necessary.
pwillieb Just in case you did not know, the words to this song are found in the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes 3. There is much written in the Bible that is relevant for today.
Karen Hollis amen
pwillieb the lyrics to this song come straight from the Bible. Not sure if you knew that. It’s from the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 3. If you have never read the book of Ecclesiastes from the Bible I would encourage you to give it a read. It’s not boring or a drudgery. It is very deep and profound. Best to you!
@@sheldonberg125 what's profound in Eccl 3? it just strikes me as the ultimate non-statement. "There is a time for *A*, there is a time for *not A*, repeat for various values of *A*". Add optional divine reference.
Indeed is from Ecclesiastes 3. Peter Seeger took Ecclesiastes 3, set it to music and made it a Psalm. One of his older recordings acknowledges where it comes from.
You posted this 8 hours ago and have 29K views! If I worked 8 hours a day for 10 years I could not even touch how good you are....thanks for spreading the joy of your talents... blessings to you and yours
This kid is simply amazing. He IS his own band...and an awesome one, too. Unbelievable genius.
During these crazy times we need beautiful music like this to soothe our souls. Thank you Josh!
I must join the chorus of your thousands of admiring fans - I am a relatively new one - to say how simply blown away I am by your talent, creativity, musicality and sheer joy of music making.
That Turner Triplet Tantalizing Trio Takes That Turn Turn Turn To Totally Terrific Territory. That Twelve’s Tone Takes Top Tear Too. ‘Twas Terribly Tragic To Terminate That Tube Till Tomorrow. Thanks Turners!
That's too true!
Always a great day when you whip out the 12 string. And the harmonies, so good.
Cooper - Guitar Songs Masters isn’t that a new 12 string?
Tuning galore ;)
I really like the way you see the core of a song.
It feels like... 'wait. this guy is telling the truth. I gotta listen.' Thank you for hard, solid, honest work.
100% perfectly gauged the whole world's mood right now...
There's only one way, being better than Josh:
Having three of him!
❤️❤️❤️
This is outrageously good -- musically, vocally, and cinematographically. I LOVED IT. Bravo!
Even after four years I can't watch this without crying.
Josh, what a craftsman you've become!
When I discovered you, you were nailing Leo Kottke covers, better than anyone else (and I sat through quite a few before I found yours).
At that time, your channel name was the number on your guitar.
Now, you're an amazing young man who has his own band and tours Internationally, with many amazing and talented friends.
You are truly blessed, and I am quite proud of you.
I'm sure your family are proud of you as well.
Please stay safe. The World needs people like you.
I thought I'd seen everything Josh had done (though keep coming across new discoveries!) but have not come across any Leo Kottke covers (one of my all time favourites musician, which I know Josh has mentioned but which I've never seen covers of) so will go on a further search now! Thanks for that!
@@thomasloya2317
Here is the very first video I ever saw by Josh:
m.th-cam.com/video/FQMPGPCjDNg/w-d-xo.html
I just took the time to watch it again, after many years.
Josh looks a little different, doesn't he? I'm guessing he was around twelve, maybe fourteen years old at the time.
Also, aside from perhaps (and I mean "perhaps") playing a half-a-beat too fast, he is absolutely nailing this cover!
I dare you to find anyone else on YT that nails it like that note for note!
Now days, Josh has gone from being a young virtuoso to an absolute wonder.
We are so lucky to have him.
Oh this one really hit me....really broke me down. Thank God for beautiful music, without it life is not worth living.
I've been following this channel for a few years now, and Not only has the music quality gone up, but also the editing and the video quality. Well done
I feel the same
Well done. I was thinking “Yea..here comes the harmony...wait..it’s two of you” Good special effects 🇨🇦 ❤️
I love Pete Seeger, more people should cover him.
This is actually more a homage to the Byrd's version, with their amazing 3-part harmony, and 12 string jingle jangle.
music is universal and always appliable
Craig Phillips- are you a jaybird like seen at Mutual of Chimpanzee, or what? Which nation did your spring sprang sprung ? I guess maybe Stomping at the Savoy maybe or maybe not was your thing, if I liked it don’t matter. This time Tuesday they’ll be commencing to get it all right back to like it never was yet. You wait and see.
You were suggested by TH-cam just last night. And now I'm addicted.
hey josh my comment is probably going to get buried but I just wanted to say since about July shit has been really difficult with my mom’s mental health and I’ve been bingeing your videos and have really been able to get my mind off of stuff for a while. I see many comments saying they want to throw away their guitar after listening to you, but you inspire me to pick mine up and try harder. You’re really making an impact on my life and I want to say thank you
stayoutoftheforrest these word were taken from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament. Solomon was old and struggling with old age even though he had it all here on earth.
J Hankins Didn’t need the ‘eternity in hell’ part. Ruined your message.
Through the intercession of St. Dymphna, patroness of mental health, I pray your mother recovers.
Hang in there, and don't be afraid to turn to someone when things get too tough to handle on your own. 😊
@@jjphank I'm not going to get into a theology debate with you because this isn't the place.
What I will say is this: When someone is making a genuine attempt at kindness, taking a massive dump on it is not even close to what Jesus would do.
This gets the hair standing up on my spine. That 12 string was so warm and strong!
Nothing short of incredible ,Josh. I love the 12 string. You set the bar higher than anyone can reach with your Trio and back up guys in B&W. I think we need another 50 Josh Turner's.
I look forward to the day when all of us have evolved into a Josh Turner. Billions of evolved humans making great music. I'm glad to see the cloning has already begun.
If this isn't the best thing in the world, then what is? Thanks Josh!
Josh...Thanks for the fantastic music and for giving an old man great memory....My granddaughters, twins now 3 yo....Whenever there here, they always want me to play them the “Triplets Song”...They really love all three of you guys, but maybe Josh just a little more...Jh
Kelly Oden, you're a poet: your editing followed the music's request for exact this atmosphere! Josh; Where can you go from here? You reached Perfection! But then again, I know you will still surprise us even more!)
Bravo Josh. You are as much a professional as you are an artist.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Great cover!
I never put two and two together and realized this is basically various parts of Ecclesiastes put to music. It’s a great read and I reread it often.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 KJVS
[13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Always love seeing Josh & The Clones-
Bravo!
Really love the bass work, i've always been a sucker for those kind of active bass parts
It’s rare to find such talented triplets😀
Wow, I just came upstairs after finishing filming my son working on his Am cord for his guitar teacher and this popped-up. Way to bring it all home, awesome stuff!
I Love this song, and all of you did it *so* well! In '90, my new girlfriend popped over and walked in while I was multi tracking this on a reel to reel. I was fully into it, as you were here. Haha...She knew she had to have me and the guitar, and is still with me 32 years later. Thank you for tickling some sweet memories to life with your rendition of this classic.
Respect. I've never been a fan of this song, but know that your cover/interpretations always bring something new to it. Excellent job, stay healthy Josh.
Timeless and timely. When my heart is feeling heavy these days, I can always find lightness and peace watching/listening to Josh and his many collaborators. Thank you and stay healthy for us.
I can't get enough of this. I've listened to it at least twice a day since you released it.
Josh does it magnificently. God's words from the Book of Ecclesiastes.
I don`t there`s anyone who even comes close to having this man`s talents
A really beautiful version by you 'guys'.' As someone who had the chance to hear the great Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman of the Byrd's do this song in a club here in So. Cal 30 years ago, you really pay tribute to how brilliant they were. In fact, I hope Roger has the chance to hear this...I think he would be delighted!
This wonderful rendition of this wonderful song should have 14 million thumbs-up, not just 14,000. I hope it gets there. Terrific, Josh!
Josh! I really liked that harmony and your video effects are fantastic. Can’t believe I was a teenager when that song came out. What a wonderful time in my life. Josh keep up the videos you are amazing. 5 stars Terry
I think Pete, a man who would have been 100 were he alive today, would be proud of this version. A life lived through so much, yet I still wonder what he would make of the times today.
Yeah I'm gonna need a Bedouin Dress cover using that guitar. I expect it on my desk by Monday.
Josh. You give us, the 50-somethings, a real hope that good music, and quality can carry on. Love your song "Ladybug" as well. I'm so happy for young people like you to be around. Be well...
Tank you for this, sir. For the song, that resonates today as loud as 50 yrs ago, and for the respect that you express by avoiding glistening voice effects. I like your soberness, it is refreshing and reassuring, it serves the emotion and the pleasure of listening as much as the quality of your sound does. Thanks
なんて素晴らしいんでしょう♬
Hey Josh, its really early morning here in Australia which sorta leads to deeper thoughts. I’m glad I haven’t been able to fall asleep yet as I checked your channel to see if you posted. I never really like or subscribe to anyone on TH-cam, I’m more a watcher but after watching so many of your videos for so long I think its time I spoke up. Its unlikely you will read this but the principle remains whether you come across this comment or not. There is something very different and authentic about the music you write, perform, cover, record, film, produce and present. I find before hearing you I already had eclectic tastes in music genres, and I’m a multi-instrumentalist and singer, originally classically trained on cello. Something about your music well before Covid-19 (which has ramped up my viewing of your playlists) sort of left me with a smile on my face and a sense of peace.
It’s the same feeling I get when you perform with Carson, Reina and Toni, of which I’ve watched countless videos of you playing together countless times. I was going to book tickets for me and my girlfriend to watch the other favourites, but the smallest virus has caused so much cancellation and pain across the globe, including your gigs being cancelled.
But something I did already know, but has been emphasised by listening to your music, is that there is hope. God is in control, and I’m a firm believer in him and the great love he shows to those who truly love him. The time for my faith in him needs to be stronger now more than ever, as people rise up to claim that God must be evil for allowing such calamity on the world, but as a Christadelphian, I know this are birth pangs of something much greater coming. The return of God’s son Jesus, back to the earth, to rule in peace and righteousness.
Perhaps this pandemic however is not the final birth pang before his return, no man knows the day or the hour. But this song, the words of Solomon, remind me that God does have a purpose of goodness that he will bring to pass. Even though things seem dark now, he has provided little lights of hope.
Thank you for being one of those lights. I’d love to meet you and speak with you one day.
Oh man, the nostalgia!! I mean I wasn't even born yet when the original track came out in the 60s (I'm around Josh's age) but listening to this cover just brings back childhood memories. I grew up listening to a lot of oldies (i.e. my parents' music) and this song was one of them (in fact, it's my dad's favourite song by The Byrds).
Anyway, I love this cover.
Whenever a Josh Turner notice pops up when I turn on my iPad I go right to it. Everything you offer us puts me in a good mood or feeds my soul. Thank you, Josh.
Ah, Josh! You chose another of those songs whose words have meant the most to me of any, and you performed it with your usual brilliance for us to treasure. Thank you.
Always loved this song and Josh, you just contributed to make this classic even more lovable. Thanks!
A unique type of social isolation. A time to spend with yourself. A time to see if you like yourself. A time to work on those parts that need work. Thank You for the upload.
You've nailed it so well Josh for this season we're in...
I pray it is a time to heal. A time for peace.
AWESOME and appropriate for the times
I first heard this song done by Peter, Paul and Mary based the Bible passage Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. This book of the Bible was written by King Solomon known to be the wisest of all men. When people ask "Why me? Why now?" the words here give a timeless explanation.. Good job. Enjoyed it.
Would you ever consider doing a Buddy Holly or Everly Brothers song? I'd love to see what you could do with Everyday or Dream.
Just looking for covers of one of my favourite songs this always makes me remember my son. A time to subscribe, first time I've heard of Josh, but it won't be the last.❤
wonderfull Josh, we need it more than ever
I'm class of 1972 , Thank you great job and the memorys , ✌
Excellent ! Bravo !
Never thought I would see the day when I really enjoyed watching a grown man play with himself !
This is so beautiful! Also, I love how you just now posted this cover as it's so relevant now.
Here in the Netherlands a big tv-newsprogramm stopped, and this song was covered there too at the end of the last episode! I'll leave a link down below for anyone who wants to check it out!
th-cam.com/video/T2JbCF-kXc8/w-d-xo.html
The singing starts at 1:45 btw, before that it's just talking about the programm. Hope you enjoy!
Another excellent performance. Turn Turn Turn, best lyrics ever written 2500 years ago
Stunning, faithful to the artists, and yet uniquely you. Brilliant
A beautifully rendered classic. I grew up with this and all those iconic songs of the 60's that defined the era. Timeless. And it takes me back to my youth of so long ago.
Sweet memories of days gone by. ✌🏻😊💕
Brilliant as always but with a touch of something extra special - thank you.
Well, damn. That brought a tear to these old eyes. Well done Josh.
I'm so glad that these great old songs are not forgotten.
Stay home, stay safe and be well everyone.
très belle sobriété et maîtrise pour ce titre qui portait mes rêves when I was your age (!) glad to see dreams don't die
Je salut un autre fan français!
This one man me cry. Just beautiful.
I honestly love it so much when you upload 💙
Imagine being his neighbor. Friggin awesome!
Beautiful. Thank you Josh(es).Pete Seeger is GREAT .🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊♥️
May the force be with ALL of you folks in this tough times
Another gem from the guitar master. Absolutely fantastic Josh!
Pete had come to my elementary school... was one of the best memories I have.
I've loved this song for years. Can't express how wonderful it is to hear it from one of my favorite musicians. Thank you.
There's only one thing better than josh
And that's josh times 3,,, brilliant, inspiring
Another all time classic mastered by an all time master
Thanks Josh, lots of love prayers and good wishes to you and all your loved ones,,,Damian from Melbourne Australia
You. just made my day a whole lot better...Nothing like music from my teens to make a day brighter!
That's the beauty of music :)
"A time to refrain from embracing". Oh man, what a line. Great how you brought that out of the mix. Impressive production.
Social Distancing = "a time to refrain from embracing." Did you do that intentionally, Josh? Always loved this song!
He did not put that line in intentionally. The line you cite was in the orginal.
@@whatsittoyou7199 lol, thanks for that. I know the song very well and know he didn't mess with the lyrics. I meant was he inspired to perform this song now because of that lyric or was it coincidence?
@@ekkisoatima2449 Thanks for responding. There are so many reasons why one might love this song that I think it may be presumptuous to conclude that the line, about refraining from embracing, prompted him to post this song because of the Covid Crisis. Then again, he did post it on April 17. And he already has 64K hits. It's taking off like a rocket. He does do the song flawlessly. In any event, I guess we'd have to ask him if covid prompted him to post this
@@ekkisoatima2449 I just thought of something: There is an additional reason which suggests that Covid is behind this. He is using two doubles of himself. I think he is merging three sound tracks of himself to create the semblance of a band. I think he is saying that we are compelled to make multiples of ourself in the covid era. I think that's a very sad prospect. This crisis, it if is chronic, will make people less physical, less intimate, more autistic, more isolated and sexuality will regress to masturbatory activities. Man, we have to get a vaccine and FAST.
@@whatsittoyou7199 a vaccine is probably 1 1/2 years away. Fortunately we will see an end to the pandemic before then. Warm summer weather will kill off most of the virus until cooler weather in the fall.
When this time of sadness and fear is over--please re-post this so that we may join together once more in joy.
Josh, you never cease to amaze me! There truly is no end to your talents, as if your musical genius wasn't enough, you're a wizard of trick photography too. Either that or you have several identical twins. I'm inclined to believe the twins theory, because no single person can have that much talent.
He is just showing off now.
Fantastic job Josh! Greetings from the U.P. of Michigan.
This guy is genius. I stumbled across him just the other day. I love the other 3 musicians he also plays with. They're flawless in their music, so talented and I LOVE most of the songs they cover. I'd love to know the software used for this video. Adobe creative suite is it?
Felicia Forbes it’s listed in the notes about the video I believe
@@justinandrewmccoy thanks so much. Whoops, should've looked there. :-)
So many treats to look forward to.
M Mac
Pete Seeger was the genius
@@thomasmeadowcroft5421 Don't forget the Biblical poet who wrote the words, or the English translators of the King James Bible.
Well, what a wonderful surprise. I miss the wonderful folk music my mother and her friends used to sing. Well done....and thank you.
Una canción muy acertada para estos tiempos que seguramente nos harán cambiar a todos.
Joshua Lee Turner King of Covers. Captures the spirit of the original and adds to it.
This guy never ceases to amaze me! Wow
Brilliant rendition. My dad would play his folk albums when I was young in the 70s, and Pete Seeger was a favorite. I especially like it with the fullness of the 12 string. Thank you, Josh.q
