OLD SCHOOL BLUES Like You’ve Never Heard | Claw-Hammer Hill-Country Fingerstyle Acoustic Slap Guitar

- 🎸Printable Guitar Tabs for this Song ("Willie Brown's Train"): justinjohnsonstore.com/collec...
I've always had this sound in my head that starts with the Boogie & Hill Country feel of blues masters like John Lee Hooker and R.L. Burnside... then mixes in a combination of claw-hammer banjo and slap bass techniques to get a percussive back-beat vibe... uses classical and fingerstyle techniques to run lead lines... and draws from the Jimi Hendrix / Stevie Ray Vaughan school of riffage. It's gotta have that old-school train rhythm chuggin' through the song to keep the feet tappin' and to create that whole-band feel that early delta blues guitarists where known for.
TUNING: Standard Tuning Down a Half Step: Eb - G# - C# - F# - Bb - Eb

I don’t think even Eric Clapton would try this one ☝️
Fantastic coordination love your style thanks !
@@Pound_Shift Um.... yeah,... I don`t think tabs would help me much.
Wow 👏 u got skills Brother
tabs! TABS!!! Surely you josh!!😄😅😳😜
No backing track, no band, just 1 man 1 guitar. Music at it's purest form! big thumbs up. I could listen to this all day.
Every once in a while you listen to someone play and it'll make you want to practice 20 years to try and catch up.
Makes me want to run to catch up! I'd love to sit down and throw down like this. I'd get lost in myself hahahaha and jam all day long
Yeah guys I am at the stage where I do get lost and jam for very very long hours every couple of days
Oh Yes Oh Yes!
I relate
Urab
I swear, Justin Johnson is like the modern day Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I'm really sad that SRV didn't get to live to see this man's talent to be honest. R.I.P.
Similar dress sense, different style of playing.
@@johnnyrocker7495 True.
I was thinking the same.
what are you talking about both God and Jesus are rocking out with SRV plus he's up in heaven playing to JJ thats playing for all of us that truly love real music
Yo zero talent, all practice
Lordy, Lordy, that geetar sounds mighty rich, praise the Lord for Mr Johnson and his fine talent, Amen!
Get your hands on one soon because my country will not exist much longer
Amen brother! Amen. Pure talent with a beautiful soul.
Its not the 5 minutes and 24 seconds that we are listening to its the pure talent, years of practice and obvious joy you have for the strings!
How do you know it took years of practice it could have been a week or two I learned how to play music off the radio it was only power cords but I was there with it even for electronics it took me 10 minutes to learn a 60 minute course past 100% as well as my other mentees years after being taught the thing that makes this guy and people like us look like geniuses we are not just for the record is that we are normal it is everyone else that has issues being oppressed not being taught the right things at the right time by the right people just witness in general it keeps you from creating when you are in the right place one may easily settle into the zone I get semi-defensive about this because even though I know how to do certain things certain people will not allow me to use their instrument or their machine because they think that I am like them on their level and with an attitude like that I probably would be but that is so not realistic
@@toolguyslayer1 hhahahahah thanks for the laugh
Man, those runs are as smooth as a cascading waterfall
“Drums . . . ? We Don’ need no steenkin’ drums . . . ‘“
That comment was as smooth as those runs man 😎
Smoother
even cooler - grab that guitar from behind the chair & you can replicate this with practice in simple E,A & B
Now you got me thinking bout the damn waterfall. 😂
This long haired white kid is bringing the blues to life!! Just goes to show we ALL got SOUL!! 👍🙏
There's so many incredibly talented people on this platform but this dude is definitaly the coolest of them.
Everyone has already given every compliment I could possibly think of. All that is left is - THANK YOU !!!!! I really needed this today.
Justin time.
Justin,hou are for me one of the greatist
@@bluewaterpines2santarosabe398Mixin Strings. 👍😆🧙♂️
Hear hear!👍🏻🤠
なんてこった〜！！ここにも天才が〜
Thank You So Match
I am at work today, been digging to China since 9:30... catching my breath. This is just what I needed...To hell with Roy Harper, HATS OFF TO THE WIZARD!!!
Like many others, I was immediately impressed by the amazing technique and perfect polish of his playing. But just as important is his concept, which manages to incorporate a bass line, strumming chords, a melody line and rhythmic accompaniment. A full orchestration on one single instrument played by one exceptional human being.
Darn. Good. Guitar. Picker. For sure. Like. To. Try. To. Play some. Bass. To. Some. Of. I'd. Stuff
His
It's hard to put into words, other than to say his playing is absolutely amazing.
So smooth makes you feel cool for just listening to it over and over and over and....
A musical god is born, truely a gifted man here.
I know this is too long for a song title, but I'm tempted to call this the "If You Aint' Dancin', You Must Be Dead" Blues. Marvelous playing, as always.
Im agree! That should be the name of the song!
"Even the Dead Can Dance!"
Now that is a good name for this song, fits it perfectly 👍
@@gordonbradbury8996 Is good too! But i like more "If You Aint' Dancin', You Must Be Dead" en español sería " Sino estás bailando, es porque estarás muerto!"
Definitely not too long, and a great name for sure!
Most talented guitar player I’ve ever heard and I’m almost 70 years old
And I’ve always appreciated the guitar players input on songs and instrumentals in general .
WOW is all I can say
Thanks Justin
Awesome
Obviously you have never listened to SRV
@@sneauxman3673 I have listened to Steve Ray ,Jimmy Hendrix ,Doc Watson ,and Billy .
But Justin is different he is a one man show !
And face it you might think chevrolets are the best and I might like European
Or Vice versa .
No two people have to agree on anything that’s what’s great about America .
Who needs the rest of of the band when you sound this good.
My father was Tennessee State Champion Old Time banjo picker one year. He also preserved much of the American folk music during the 60's and 70's. The first music he'd play with a guitar (and me!) on his lap was Son House and Mississippi John Hurt--still my favorite music and one of my favorite photos is of this. It's on my wall today. Thank you so much for the gift to me that this video is, Justin! ❤
Reason to really proud. I’ve got the actual same name as one of the most famous musicians in the world, but named a couple of years before they became famous, family heritage thing that the eldest son of each generation was given what I consider that God awful name. Ended with me, no one else uses it in any part now, knowing the jokes I’ve suffered over the years.
I've heard a lot of guitarists with awesome technique, trying to "play the blues" and failing miserably. This is the real deal, and I love it. Only trouble is, I'm now going to have to find time to learn some of those licks.
This guy's got rythm! Insane! I'd love to be able to play like that. Chapeau
Baby steps will get ya there.
Man oh man I never get tired of hearing Justin play!!!! He is a true professional and he can sure make that guitar do what he wants it to do. Always a joy!!!!
I came ready to be schooled on just how clawhammer should sound...little did I know, Justin was prepped to throw everything including the kitchen sink into this masterwork! Man, that was smoother than a 20 year old single malt served up neat!!! ❤️
ahaa
I threw my pick away about 4 years ago. I'm about 1% there after watching this.
Спасибо за отличную музыку! У меня душа отдыхает при звучании гитары в руках этого человека.
У меня тоже !!!
There are a lot of people who use the most ingenious ways to play acoustic by slapping, tapping, flat on their lap, etcetera. Unfortunately most of them forget to actually sound musical. This is an exception because it sounds great and musical. Very cool.
Отлично! Просто праздник какой-то👍👍👍
Ohh hell yes!! Slap that depression right out of my brain Dr Johnson!! You absolutely beautiful piece humanity!!! Stay safe and healthy brother much love from the darkness of this deeply depressed mind to that beautiful light you shine out so bright 👏🏼👏🏼😘👍🏼
I don't know if this man believes in God or not but this is a Gift from the Lord. Simply unbelievable.
He's right up there with Tommie Emmanuel . Love the Claw Hammer Hammer Blues.
I’ve played for 62 years & my damn fingers never could and likely now never will make the kind of moves Justin makes so damn effortlessly. I enjoy every move the man makes, but he sure makes my playin’ seem awful ordinary and stiff!
MAKES MY PANTS
WANNA GET UP N DANCE
✌🧡🙏
HA! Awesome comment
That's the title of an old Dr. Hook song from the 1970s - but yes, it's a great title anyway!
Justin your unbelievable. Iv been playing blues for 30+years and listening to your work is inspiring .. go bro
The man has magic in his fingers and soulfulness in his heart, mind and soul! Great brilliant playing as always, Justin!!!
Just them first notes are enough for me to like....anything that Justin puts out is amazing....love your content JJ 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
I’d call it .”Tryin’ to hop a Train” … because it feels like when I used to hop freight trains.. had to be fast on your feet.. missed a lot.. timing was everything.. and whether you caught it or not, that rhythm just kept going..
Keep On
Holy cow man. I used to hop too. West Georgia just outside of Atlanta
Every time I think of modern blues is all electric guitar boring hype , I listen to Justin and faith is restored to how modern blues should be played How modern blues can be played I thank you from my soul and heart ..........
No words to express how much I love this.. beautiful music 🎵🎶 to my ears
I went ahead and liked it before I hit play. I knew he would bring the magic….🐝❤️🤗
You can almost hear the Cuban heeled cowboy boots all slamming onto the whiskey stained bar floorboards in unison, keeping in time with the metronomic rhythms as the sounds of everyone's joy echoes across the plains. Thank you Justin for sharing your musical genius with us all, just one masterpiece after another. Best wishes from Steve in England.
Had to look up Cuban heels.
Pretty cool that The Beatles proudly sported Cuban heels in solidarity with the revolution.

I have recently been thinking about joining the JJ army on Patreon, I only delayed my joining as I am between phones and I would want all downloads to go straight to the new one.

Steve from England xxx.
By the way, I like your pic, you are very beautiful.
I stayed for the entire 5mins ... I now undstnd why Blues is the core or most American music and songs
Thank you Justin Johnson for your genius and motivating me to keep practising fingerpicking every day!
Beautiful as always.
I would call this song "Bacon and scrambled eggs", because its delicious!
Justin, knowing your affinity for whiskey and the feel of the tune, I'd call it, "Revenuer Blues"!
Keep On
This is remember RL Burniside! Congratulations!!
Been watching fingerstylist for 60 yrs. -- Best right hand finger rolls I've ever seen !
Sitting here enjoying the Texas Hill Country morning and this just tops it off beautifully
Thanks, Justin. I like your Buffalo Nickel ring. I'm as big a Buffalo Nickel fan as I am a Justin Johnson fan. I'm a coin collector and the Buffalo Nickel is my all-time fav design. I admire your artistry.
Man this guy has some chops! I love how everything he plays just grooves
You’re the man, JJ! 👍🏼👍🏼
The intro😍😍😍😍
"OLD SCHOOL BLUES Like You’ve Never Heard", he didn't lie once. Sir you killed the intro. 0:00
You are awesome man
good sothin blues
Now thats a lively tune! You always make the most incredible music JJ!
Oooh ! Clan Johnson 🥂🍾😮🥃🥃🥃🦘🇦🇺🏴🇺🇸
Rolls along so gently in it’s own pervasive way. Such a persuasive sweet sound.👍
And that is passion....recently discovered you, Justin - I love what you do & listening to/watching you play feeds my soul.
All my life I have this love for the blues and of course I have seen my fair share of great guitarists. But you, Justin, is the most talented in my book. Not only a guitar virtuoso but also extremely creative.
Whoa, Justin, you make that Aussie guitar sing! This is one of your best videos to date. Thanks for sharing.
Let the Birds Fly ..
JJ is Also a TOP Guitar Percussionist !
ExecutionLy Perfection
I love how you take full advantage of this string by improvising with it as a percussion instrument as well. Most enjoyable. Makes for good clogging music too. Thank you!
I said too myself that I will go to sleep when I hear something out of this man that I don't like. Haven't slept since. It's been years. Have mercy Justin. I need sleep!
Justin "jesus of blues" Johnson, you were that one person that got me totally into blues and fingerstyle. 👍👍
Magic fingers. That's all I can say!
Except only you could make a guitar have super powers in this style.
Wow! I'm impressed with this style of play. Freaking AWESOME!!!
Thank god we still have people like you being created!
Every time we return here to listen to a new song you're giving us goosebumps! Justin, you rock! Keep the great music coming!
I love this to pieces! You really can make any guitar sing! 🤘🎸
It all starts with maintaining the groove! Where it goes from there is pure gold!
Mind glowingly Outstanding musician 👍🙋♀️
Slappin the Roo! Perfect name for the new aussie Maton guitar
Can’t get enough of your work man. It’s my go to listen while I’m working. Respect from the U.K.
I close my eyes and daydream its me playing for people in my my family. I wish with tears in my eyes I had a gift like yours. You're blessed my man, and I'm blessed to have heard something so amazing!
You'd make Stevie Ray Vaughan blush!
This should be added to the “ O Brother where art thou “ soundtrack… Beautiful
...or went up against Ralph Macchio in place of Steve Vai!
We appreciate so much, you keeping this music alive.
wow .... incredible Justin Bravissimo
that part of hair touching the strings ..amazing
Well-lubed slick. Comfort and ease in doing whatever the moment calls for. Proof sonic that you do NOT need wheels to roll down that road...
Head bopping, toe tapping smiling as I go!!!!!
Thank you again for great vibes Justin!!!!!!
😎🍻🤘

Well done, Sir.
Very very nice!! Thanks for sharing.
Tennessee Train
Sounds amazing dude loving the work you put out. Been looking for this style for a long time.
Being from the Appalachian foothills I was expecting something a little different when I saw claw hammer, but this is an awesome and interesting hybridization of techniques!
Yeah back before earl put the index finger into the banjo roll.
Flows like water out your fingers. I was along for the ride not care in the world about your destination. What a ride👍
Awesome!
What a gift to be able to see this
Es sensacional a forma que tu tocas meu amigo...
This jam has my soul stomping it's foot on hells ceiling 😄
