Laying here in the hospital after getting a hip replacement this morning and now all I want to do is hobble home and grab the resonator off the wall to continue that awesome blues feeling. Justin your music is great medicine for me. Thanks
Think about it folks, how fortunate we are to have someone who can do this, who has these talents. He could've decided to do anything else. He decided to share his abilities to those who will listen. I myself sit in amazement, entertained and all I can say is...Thanks Justin...Thanks.. Just Badass man...
I had not picked up a guitar in thirty plus years, I had an accident on my motorcycle.And I was laid up 43 years with nothing to do so I dragged one of my old guitars out and started watching you on youtube at my age fifty six I didn't think I'd be able to play over again but thanks to marty I get to enjoy playing again. That means a lot. Marty, you do a better. Job than taking personal lessons.I know for a fact.Thank you for everything you do.We all appreciate you
I'm wondering too how you're not famous, I also discovered you accidentally, As soon as my speakers get rebuilt I'm getting your CD. You are a superb player and some of the finest Delta Blues I've ever heard.
I love your blues, my dad played a dobro,and anything else that has strings. He s been gone 22 years,❤your music warms my heart and makes me miss him. Thank you !1
Rip it up brother rip up them blue's man you sound great really man great. I have been a outlaw truck driver for 44 year's now, i got the speakers blasting right now as you play I can never get enough of the sound your putting out. My speakers are smokin , I was jamming out while you were playing Curtis lowe. I wish I would have found you sooner. That's alright I got ya now. Keep it up man I will follow you checking you out from time to time. Keep Rocking. Thanks, Duane
Good 'ol sultry, smooth southern style blues. This takes me back to my youth in Louisiana, where the adults sittin' around a bon fire sippin' brandy and crackin' crayfish! 😊
WOW! It's been a long time since I've been to the States, but this music is always a turn on! Thank you, Mr. Johnson!!!! You brought me back to my young times!
Gotta tell you, Brothah….. you have helped me get thru some dark times. Thank you for letting the world know of you by TH-cam. Thank you for making your videos! ✌️🇺🇸🫡
Justin, you are one of the very best bottle neck resonator players alive today. Your feeling for the old delta blues is as good as it gets. Keep on picking.
"We" had the best music! SO wonderful to see a young person bringing "our" music back to life so beautifully. Thank god, our music will live on!! Thank you for choosing this venue, and for sharing it with us. Warms the old soul!
Now if anyone can play for an hour straight that's an accomplishment in itself that's not that easy to do. This guy sits and plays for hours at a time without stopping he's definitely the best guitarists of all time.
@@deborahparham3783 yeah I know that but I doubt anyone practices as much as Justin Johnson because it's obvious that he's the best guitarist of all time.
Got a homemade jar of apple pie moonshine, headphones on, and just in such a peaceful mood.. Justin, I thank you brother for this AMAZING music.. for this 1 hour of relaxing, unbelievable music... sir, you are the BEST !! Keep it up, and I hope to meet you some day
FINALLY someone who actually plays one (or more) of these! All I have been able to find is people that show how to play one. I don't want to learn how to play one, I just want to hear someone else playing one!!! I love how these sound. One of my favorite, if not my favorite instruments. Such a great sound and you play them well!!!
Hey Justin Johnson, glad to see your still at it. I'll try to get back more often again. As always thanks for these shows I always appreciate them. Now, I'll fast forward to your latest. Best wishes to you and yours.
@@offhandacoustic Thank you, I will in a few minutes when I start cooking. I'm always hungry for great music and new recipes, it seems that's all I have time for after work anymore.
Imma Nashville resident and have accidentally been blessed with seeing Mr Johnson play. Doing shots of whiskey while he played was like . . . , Well . . . , twaz like sound became some kinda soulish incense of praise from the heart to God. Very mystical, transformative!
JJ- get yourself out there to theatres and auditoriums. Call it "Two hours with Justin", and just get out there and jam, with your favorite gear, and people will eat that stuff up.
In a nursing home after a hip removal surgery p, I also played bass so when I'm listening to your track I'm playing and I recorded it we sound pretty good
This is just so much ear and eye candy. I'm listening and watching you play for hours at a time and just floating away. I'm no musician and I've only ever been mildly into the blues before but I've never heard it played like this before excepting Ry Cooder's Paris Texas soundtrack and a band Calexico I'd listen to sometimes. Your style has so much space in it and I'm falling way deep into something velvety and infinite. I don't know where I've been not to have found this before but I feel it in a way I don't feel anything else and it's just a revelation. I had ideas about the blues that were just plain wrongheaded. Whoda thunk getting so down low could bring such highs. My absolute favourites of yours are the ones you pull from the deep dark swamp - maybe because it reminds me of our Australian mangroves and of past days in the sun. Thank you so much for being you!
Your raw talent is so welcomed; the sounds via the tuning is is is iz so right on......really great grand, groovin Justin Johnson, you should be very proud, [for] turning all of us folks, *O N* *We The People*
Thanks David, I love hearing that! Also, FYI, I have a new members only guitar lesson section here on TH-cam. If you're interested in guitar lessons, you can check it out by clicking the "Join" button under this video, or this link: th-cam.com/users/justinjohnsonlivejoin
Started some exercises the physical therapist told me to do this morning. I figured listening to this would help get me through the ordeal. The first two sets I kept losing count as I got into to the music. The pain finally became strong enough for me to keep count of the reps so I did not overdo it anymore. Thanks for the help getting through it all. Reckon I will be listening to a lot of your music in the near future, more so than usual.
Been through physical therapy three times, twice for each knee surgery and once for my back and it wasn't a very pleasant experience any of those times. Good tunes definitely help you focus on something other than the pain. Good luck with your recovery.
Some sweet Delta Blues to warm my spirit while the entire state of Ohio is getting pounded with freezing rain. Sure makes me long for whiskey and warmer days 🎵🤯🎵🎸🔥
Mezmerizing....i look back on sitting long ago in box seats at stevie ray concert..maybe you are intensely inspirational for us that know we have heard greatness...and those crappy wannabes that do not know a thing about music or heavenly blues..just techno geniuses; youthful or robotic..no soul Whats So Ever...you have looks& talent& a beautiful guitar..tons of Soul..may your journey be as abundantly blessed with joy..peace as well...as I feel to have found your channel...so relaxing& charming you are!( eternally grateful!)
Just have to say, "Thank you". I had not looked to the song list prior to listening. My heart warmed at the first few notes of "Curtis". Have always loved that song & the story told. The resonator & slide are heavenly. 🎶🎶🎶
Hello! Justin I really like your music! I am from Russia, but it doesn’t bother me to love your culture and your professionalism. I love the blues since childhood!
Dude, I'm an old punk rocker with a cheap ass les paul and a few power chords. Listening to you blows my mind. So when people ask if your gonna play rythm or lead, do you just say yes, i think i will?
I literally just saw this video listed on YT and decided to check it out. I listened to the first song, absolutely loved it, ‘liked’ the video, sub’d to your channel, and shared the video. I hope reading this brings a smile to your face, Justin… listening to you play (and to your style of play) brought a big smile to mine! 👍😎
I met a schoolmate at my FIFTYITH High school reunion who teaches dobro. I bought a dobro 30 years ago. Dammit, this is the year I learn! Love the sound!
That copper pipe holding a whiskery bottle statue in one of the clips is cool - I am a plumber and and stained glass artist so I notice that the solder joints are copper plated... As Roy Buchanan is the master of the strata caster you are the master of the bottle neck... Love your stuff...
Justin J thank you for sharing your talents with us all. You are amazing Fun to watch those fingers talk to the guitar! I get up and shake it… marries to a drummer! Enjoy!!
Seriours i hope you never stop playing. You make my day every day. You are the best in this world. No more stress as long you are playing. Thanks for you and god blesse you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dude I love you. That Curtis Lowe makes me so excited to be on my path. Thank you for these videos and all your hard work and devotion to expanding the possibilities of this.style of playing.
Laying here in the hospital after getting a hip replacement this morning and now all I want to do is hobble home and grab the resonator off the wall to continue that awesome blues feeling. Justin your music is great medicine for me. Thanks
I do believe someone is scamming you Justin by replying to comments.
Get better mano!
Wishing you well Murray. These are good sounds all right!
Justin is da doktor. Feel better, Murray. 😉
Get well soon!
Makes one guitar sound like a whole orchestra. Made better by not singing over the top of the music. The music speaks for itself.
Every Guitar in the World wants to be played by the Legendary Justin Johnson.

It is surprising the fidelity to Delta Blues of this guy... Listening him I feel myself on the border of Mississipi river...
Oh, its highly technical ability sliding around in 3rds, 5ths, etc...
Ph D level talent?
Hmmm

Badass music right chall here
I'd personally love to get a chance to jam out with Justin
Absollutly right, no doub't
How true ,and imagine how many more are out there that gave it up and did do something else ? I know a couple my self .
Drum...bass...em...can't spell ry thm
Wish more people played this style. Love it
I've been listening to blues guitar for 60 years and all I can say is wow Justin. Wow. I listen to you for hours. Thank you.
Hi, Malcolm. Do you know the name of that kind of guitar?
I mean... slide with a shot glass... a TRUE musician! Unreal blues man
It's the damndest thing, how blues lifts me up.

Dziękujemy.
Thank you Krzysztof!
No matter how many videos are put out by this man, I keep coming back to this amazing resonator. Just love it.
Within 5 notes I could hear that Curtis Lowe. Awesome.
In Italy the delta blues is little known, but it is among the most evocative music of all. BRAVO
do you know Roy Rogers (not the cowboy)
@@robpattison6606 I know he is a very good guitarist, by the way with john lee hooker, but I have never listened to him, I will for sure👍
The world has gotten very small. I extend my hand across the sea to you.
I've loved the blues my whole life. How is it I'm just now discovering this guy? He's amazing. Love it.
I literally said the same thing, I’ve been listening to blues since I was just a babe, and I just discovered this dude last week, he’s brilliant
I love your blues, my dad played a dobro,and anything else that has strings. He s been gone 22 years,❤your music warms my heart and makes me miss him. Thank you !1

Been hiding under a rock! Only way to explain I didn't know you existed before. Just sitting back and truly enjoying what I'm hearing. Thanks!

Bravo! Maestro, that was absolutely great! Thank you for such delight!
I'm addicted to this. BEST background music for the whole day! Never change a bit Mr. Johnson. Raw talent.
Wow just found this music and am in love with the sound of it and. How it reaches down and touches my soul.
@@jamesezell2371 It "speaks" to me too!
Х
This just makes me feel sooooo chilled. Like a massage of the soul.
Gone through the songs,and Delta Moon is my favourite.
Wish you well.
It all sounds familiar and fresh at the same time. Thanks a ton for doing what you do.
Hamburg,Nothern Germany. Great !!
Oh man ! What a musik !!!
Thank you for playing the Ballad of Curtis Lowe.
It's been a fave most of my life.
Not only is your talent off the wall good, but the production quality of your videos is outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us!

Gosh, I’ve always loved the blues on the guitar and piano!. You are one of my guitar heroes man! You are incredible! .
As an old man without relatives and pretty much no social life, this is the cat's ass! I love it and I hope someone plays JJ'S music at my funeral! 😁😊
My sentiments exactly my man, I'm 80 and love every second of his music. Can't get enough of it, So much talent.
My sentiments exactly my friend. Listening to him brings tears to me eyes and I just can't help it. I especially like his cover of Best Dressed Man.
That funeral sounds like fun, have you passed out your invites yet?
You should check out a song called "aint dead yet" by Charlie Parr.
@@offhandacoustic Thank you, I will in a few minutes when I start cooking. I'm always hungry for great music and new recipes, it seems that's all I have time for after work anymore.
I have been following you for a while, and you still remind me of my years in Louisiana. Blues played right. May the Lord keep blessing you 🗿
Justin doesnt play the guitar, he makes love to it :)
Imma Nashville resident and have accidentally been blessed with seeing Mr Johnson play. Doing shots of whiskey while he played was like . . . , Well . . . , twaz like sound became some kinda soulish incense of praise from the heart to God. Very mystical, transformative!
Music that heals the soul. Thank you!
The blues,inspired so many artists, it's mystical
JJ- get yourself out there to theatres and auditoriums. Call it "Two hours with Justin", and just get out there and jam, with your favorite gear, and people will eat that stuff up.
To me, true blues such as JJ's makes me relax and think about things I should do. Very inspirational. You are great JJ!
I love how his feel shines brighter than his technique (and his technique is pretty bloody good).

Smokin' version of Curtis Low! Bless you Sir for reviving old songs with your refreshing style. So nice!
In a nursing home after a hip removal surgery p, I also played bass so when I'm listening to your track I'm playing and I recorded it we sound pretty good
