A,men, we have to get him out , other this sound is gone. I'm 72 and just put my slide in the fish tank as a play toy. I'm embarrassed, it comes to him by a higher being, fight hand movement is mesmerising.
It is very difficult to quantify greatness. But, after watching every JJ video for years, I think I can now identify at least one component of his undeniable greatness…. He doesn’t try to sound like anybody else, EVER! Obviously his playing is influenced by the many wonderful players that preceded him. But, he isn’t trying to sound like them. He is perfectly content to just be and sound like himself… wise beyond his years!
Appearing so relaxed while exercising such control means a clear head and heart. That takes hard work. Justin earns every bit of positive feedback and compliment twice over every day
Why aren't you more well known?! Your playing is simply superb and is about the best finger picking, slide sliding, delta sounding guitar music making I've ever heard!
Ohhh yes! Crazy legs time!!! Hahahahaha yeah. Absolutely excellent kick up the arse to get moving with a little hot foot shuffle. Thank you very kindly Justin 😘👍 keep them loved ones safe brother
Justin is well on his way to be up in that legendary status for pickin and grinnin. Would lije to see him do a banjo slide tune if possible. Now that would be awesome
When I finish my Fuzzed Jimmie Hendrix Blues-Jazz -Fusion Creative Arppegio Renditions I always Listen to Justin and Imagine Overlaying or Underlaying Lead -Melody Tracks to his Grand-Master Creations...of my favorite Dobro- Tunes! They can be Either Swampy or Grass-Fed "I'm still a Musical fan and Collage"! Staying in the Groove that you Create is Inspirational!! Hope to become One of your " Elder" Band Members someday...Dream Big Think Bigger...Create a World of Wonder...

Wow , Gretsch Resonator Blues , in the hands of the Maestro , nothing sounds as good . Thank you JJ , you have an affinity with Resonators and the Delta sound , something which I have become addicted to and I advise everybody to do the same . Very much respect from NZ .
This came onto my feed just as my friend's radio show came on the air at the local radio station ... So I listened to his show of folk and country music dedicated to this beautiful and damaged planet we live on ... Then, as soon as his show was over (and it was a beautiful show ... that ultimately brought me to tears ...), I put this on ... And it has brought me to smiles and pleasure ... This planet is being damaged, but it will survive. Those with the heart to appreciate beauty and the wild dionysian dance expressed in music like this, those like you and those who love your music, may allow the human race to survive as well ... Because of our love for beauty.
I could do this all day. I grew up in a family that played music.I've been around musicians all my life. I know OK. I know good and I know really good when I hear it. Brother you are beyond any and all of that. You're amazing.
fyi: for those thinking about the tabs. It's actually a musical score with tabs. And the download video has the running tab with the performance. Nice touch!
I like tha way his shirt blends with tha guitar's colors...just like tha man himself, he blends rite into tha strings on every guitar he play's...jj dose it again !!!
a few chords will turn into something else eventually. just enjoy it and don't let yourself get frustrated when playing. put the guitar down when you do. and pick it up when you feel inspired.
Bonjour Justin ! Toujours excellent comme d'habitude ! Merci pour le partage !!! Cordialement ! Hello Justin ! Still excellent as usual ! Thank you for sharing !!! Cordially !
I 💜 that U put a whole heap of lovin goodness into this world that soo badly needs it. An excellent role model compared to the norm in the music world.
I accidentally had 1.5 speed on, and wow…😂. On a serious note, I discovered you recently and can’t get enough. You’re really freakin good at any speed!
Justin, this is so beautiful. Just bought the tabs from your website. What a pristine PDF preparation job and the video with the moving line and blue highlights is great too! Well worth the $10 - look forward to learning it!!
I bought a Gretsch "Boxcar" rez a few years ago. Did a demo with it on my page when I first got it. It's quite laughable compared to your virtuoso performances. Love the sound of the Honey Dipper...amazing low end. Great jam JJ.

Bad ass
The most underrated player of our generation

@@mikefritz4395 fish that thing back out and keep trying!
Agreed.
really??? just show him to any, who have ears...
Hell yeah without question
Slide control on the level of legends
BB King played the way he did because he could never learn to use a slide.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
Were Watching the beginning of a legend! And glad to be learning from all his videos!
This guy makes his shovel guitar sound good
the second finger is the guide

If you're jamming all day, I'm listening all day
Justin doesn’t disappoint, ever !
true !
Agreed!
Yes, he is the third “sure thing”, behind death and taxes!

It’s so good and he’s just so chill about it too
The more I listen to this song, the more and more I listen to this song.
It's rain'in here but my soul has been restored !
Hearing Justin play restores my faith in humanity. Thank you dear sir!
Bringing sunshine to a cloudy day 🌄

I love this! I just got my Gretsch G2420 last week, and haven't been able to put it down.
Im 27 and have been playing since i was 15 and this is the best fucking thing i've ever seen.
When JJ plays anything on guitar it's obvious that his brain to hand coordination is on serious "guitar autopilot" mode! Amazing! 👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍
...I bring it on outside when I'm gardening or just rekaxin, if the neighbors see me dancin maybe they'll join me🤭🙃Thank you Justin
I'd love to dance with you in the garden. :-)
@@flycorvus 🤭😉
Saying that this is AMAZING is an understatement. This is one of the best slide pieces ever! Love the guitar as well! 🎸🤘
Ahhh, I love the Gretsch sound! You feel it in your soul

What a command of the fingerboard wow! Lovin' the Gretsch, too.

Doesn't get much better than this
Sitting By The Lake Jamming To This ...Awesome 🤘🖤🙏
That constant thumb slap is what ties it all together. Great playing.
Love it when He smiles while into the playing
I really dig the 0:30 maneuver. It reminds me of the horn my friend has on his ‘65 Chevy truck that whistles at the pretty girls. 🎶📢 ✌🏻
Superb Justin - one of these days you gonna get overwhelmed by your own music and just start singing the Blues! 😎
He plays that guitar like ringing a bell.
That is one sweet resonator. I love that tone. As usual you make it sound so good. I would love to get one of these Gretsch guitars.
fyi: for those thinking about the tabs. It's actually a musical score with tabs. And the download video has the running tab with the performance. Nice touch!
I like tha way his shirt blends with tha guitar's colors...just like tha man himself, he blends rite into tha strings on every guitar he play's...jj dose it again !!!
Always a real pleasure to watch you playing Man, with that scenery behind looks like playing in heaven.
He’s having.a whole lot of fun without smiling (much). Unbridled talent, loving his craft.
Super cool melody, amazing playing/technique!!!
Fantastic!!!🔥🎶🎸🤘👊🔥
Lovely! Wow! Gretsch Magic under JJ’s talented fingers!
How'd I miss this one? Dynamite playin'!👍👍 I could dig several more hours of this concert.
Beautiful resonator man!
Thanks dude! I think I'll listen all day, after the 4:42 I'll just replay the 1:05:30 from last week. Listenin' on and on, thank you.
My dream.. A collaboration with this dude and Billy strings
Holy sh that would be something!
Me: owns a guitar and knows a few chords.
Most Other People: can actually play the guitar.
Justin Johnson: makes every instrument he plays SING!
Stop belittling yourself
a few chords will turn into something else eventually. just enjoy it and don't let yourself get frustrated when playing. put the guitar down when you do. and pick it up when you feel inspired.
I’m in love with this song, this guitar...
I just start to learn how to use a bootleneck, your song is my graal!
Love from Belgium ❤️
Bonjour Justin ! Toujours excellent comme d'habitude ! Merci pour le partage !!! Cordialement !
Hello Justin ! Still excellent as usual ! Thank you for sharing !!! Cordially !
Gotta love Gretsch guitars for their big greasy sound, and JJ brings it to life!
Maybe next time a fingerstyle version in your style of Doc Watsons Walk On Boy? That would be awesome! 👌🏻
I love that song
@@justinjohnsonlive 🙆🎶Power Song
:) 👍 🎸
@@justinjohnsonlive and a slow, dark version of it how you do so well would give it a fresh view
I totally love your amazing music.
That little smirk on Justin's face says it all He was in a really good mood and rockin this ...Damn hes good Shared on my GAB music group..
Listening to this sweet music after a hard day at work.
Я всегда говорил - пацан, ты крут! Гитара в твоих руках переносит в параллельный мир, где вечный кайф и оттопыр и возвращает к жизни!
I 💜 that U put a whole heap of lovin goodness into this world that soo badly needs it.
An excellent role model compared to the norm in the music world.
Me :waching a god-like technique and questioning reality
JJ: having funn and playing how he feals
LOVE how you feel the music JJ ! Have a nice day !
The best. I so liked .
Man every tune I hear you play just blows me completely away!

Love that humbucker pick up that you have mounted
I accidentally had 1.5 speed on, and wow…😂. On a serious note, I discovered you recently and can’t get enough. You’re really freakin good at any speed!

Hello, you are a very beautiful performer. One day I would like to come to America and get to know you better
The way you play is just so smooth it looks effortless. I know you've been playing for many years to get so good. Joyful. Thank you!

Perfection. Just (in) perfection
Sweet! I like the punny title too -- for all the Gretchens out there and for all the Gretsch players and fans. Yaaaassss!!!
Makes me wish I was on a river boat playing poker, smoking a cigar and sipping on a whiskey.
Just cool and smooth Justin! 🤘🤘🤘🥃🥃♠️♥️♦️♣️😎
JJ You The Man.
Happy Bluesday!
You make it seem easy and natural. Amazing. Nice feel.
Justin Johnson is in his own Category
I could hear this song for all day long. Very nice and inspiring playing. Great.
I bought a Gretsch "Boxcar" rez a few years ago. Did a demo with it on my page when I first got it. It's quite laughable compared to your virtuoso performances. Love the sound of the Honey Dipper...amazing low end. Great jam JJ.
I have the 9221, and it’s a lifer, I’m never getting rid of it!!!
God bless you man, your music restores my troubled soul!!! Thanx a lot
On fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥just inspiring 🔝
Well there's a first for me. I did not know Gretsch made a Resonator.
Brilliant and insanely talented as usual, Justin. You blow my mind.
With all the gloom happening, Justin keeps pouring out good...I like it !! Thank you , angel Justin...
Finally some fast paced playing. I like the faster stuff like the shovel guitar vid. Keep playing that speed please. Thanks
Man I just love to own one of those guitars made by Justin Johnson they best guitars I know
