The coolest guitar players always have the coolest guitars. That’s a beautiful PRS. I could literally hear the words coming out of the notes that you were playing.
I think the coolest players have a guitar. No attachments or special capabilities. Not knocking PRS. Beautiful guitars sound like crap if the player cant play. Honestly. Justin can jam on a cigar box guitar though and make it shine.
I don't know how you do it Justin, but you take an already wonderful song, and somehow add a whole other layer of emotion to it. This is simply beautiful.
Thank You, Justin. And Salute! This song is for those that have moved on, and are waiting for us. I feel this in every note you played. Each one with its own emotions. Grateful.
...the deepest cut, is to know how some friendships never fade in the memories, and all we can do is simply... "Wish they Were Here" in our lives once more. ♥️
That was just brilliant, i cried for my late brother. It was the first song he taught me (album version). Thank you for bringing back those memories. Your Amazing 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤
Justin, your arrangements are fabulous. A cool and refreshing interpretation that brings new interest to great songs. Love your pure playing style. Thank you.
One of your many gifts is sensing the essence of a song and magically weaving the many voices of a band's rendition into a virtuously performed solo piece! Much respect! 👏👏👏
Such a beautiful acoustic cover, Justin! It is my lights out, dogs in the bed, lullaby tonight, and thank you for all the times I hit on your videos just at the right time. Perfection! 😴💜
I started learning guitar just about a month ago, at the age of 27, I started learning this song, and a couple of days later. A family member passed in a tragic accident. Every time I play this song I always think of them. And this version is so beautiful. It brought back so many beautiful memories. Thank you for the incredible music you put out!
A month into guitar and learning this song... mad, but my respect, I hope that by now you've already nailed. I'm really sorry for your loss. Sending you a big hug!
You know this was a good friend of mines danny his fave song, he died young, and when i hear this song i think of him briefly, but this time i actually remembered all the good and bad times we had together, thank you for that justin.
Yup, really soft, just like goose bums😁😁 I know it's a typo, just couldn't help myself making a bad joke of it. Imagine my friends, who experience it on a daily basis😁
Thank you Justin, may your music and mellow vibes play throughout the world and into the souls of hateful hearted world leaders so they can just sit back, pause and take in this timeless song and new artistic arrangement that you have created. Thank you and pray for a Happy 2023!
Not too long ago, Nov. 23, 2023, I lost my stepmom to bone marrow cancer. Yeah she may not have been my real mom but she was still mom to me. My wife just played this song for me and all the wonderful memories of her just flooded my head. Amazing guitar playing brother
Dear Justin- This is my favorite song ever written. By my favorite band of all time. My entire family knows how much this song means to me. The day after you published this to TH-cam was the one year anniversary of my fathers passing. I cannot begin to describe how mind blowing this rendition is, on top of the insane synchronicity in the timing of you publishing it. I am in tears writing all this just to say, ultimately, THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart. Its as if I’m hearing it again for the first time. 🙏❤️
Absolutely love this version, I can't help but get a little teared up as this song causes me to remember the great times with all my friends you have died.
It seems to me that you don't want to show how good you are... You just play music. I feel like this is where the magic you transmit comes from. Your silence so as your notes speaks for you. Keep up the great work. Thank you man.
It's funny, every time I watch TH-cam video's, no matter what I'm watching, I ALWAYS end up bingewatching JJ video's - like EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! A big THANK YOU for being such an incredible light in the world Justin - your music makes my day, every day. May you have a wonderful new year in 2023, filled with light, love, and music.
Considering I grew up in the 70’s I’m probably one of a few who never cared for Pink Floyd, but this song as an acoustic version is amazing. Well done, Sir..
Yes, what a great performance. Will never look at Pink Floyd the same again. That song was just all right. You know until I heard him play it on the lacoustic now it's just you know it's one of the top songs out there. Good job!
Best version of Wish You We're Here I've ever heard ! And I'm a huge David Gilmour fan ! Sorry David. Lol. Justin even incorporates the vocal parts in his guitar picking. Really cool. Such a soothing version. Thanks Justin, you started my new year out great for me. A buddy and myself played this song at one of our deceased buddies celebration of life last summer to remember him. This song brings good, but sad feelings to me. Thanks again Justin.
Wow, so soulful and breathtaking. It washes away all the troubles of the world, if only for a little bit. With that peaceful sound -.... wow. Merry New Year to all. Thanks, Justin. Cheers everyone.
BROTHER JJ, I'M 62 AND STARTED LEARNING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS BEEN. YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND SO MANY OTHERS HERE. I HOPE TO BE LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP. CHEERS BROTHER AND THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL TALENT AND FOR SHARING IT WITH US. HAPPY NEW YEAR MAN - FROM NYC. -ANGEL
Es increíble tanto talento, la perfección de las notas interpretando el tema,la virtuosidad de la ejecución. Un fenómeno del “finger style”. Larga vida a Justin Johnson.
I'm not a fan of covers, especially of my favorite songs (like this one), but once again, you knocked it out of the park. To be respectful of the original, but still make this version your own is impressive. That's Art... :)

he is an artist and composer.
I don't know how you do it Justin, but you take an already wonderful song, and somehow add a whole other layer of emotion to it. This is simply beautiful.
Wunderschön gespielt! Danke...
Thank You, Justin.
And Salute!
This song is for those that have moved on, and are waiting for us.
I feel this in every note you played.
Each one with its own emotions.
Grateful.
When you get as old as I am, and you’ve lost so many loved ones, this song takes on a whole different feel. A beautiful rendition.
I feel for you.
@@TerriYoung-n3n thanks, I wasn’t trying for a pity party, but it’s just a fact.
...the deepest cut, is to know how some friendships never fade in the memories, and all we can do is simply... "Wish they Were Here" in our lives once more. ♥️
guitar mastery pure class
Sounds to my soul.
Thank you, Justin. This just made my day.
First heard this as a teenager in '75, just love the way great guitarists are still putting their own feel to it. Timeless.
What a beautiful rendition of such an amazing song!
Brings tears to me thinking of those who have gone before me.
It's just a dream how you play it. LG from Vienna Austria
you're like wine man, the older, the better, keep playin' it is good for our souls
Doesn't get much better than Justin Johnson.
Sorry but me, i can .... in my dreams.
Of course it is, but that doesn't change anything about his remarkable talent.
yep... except maybe David Gilmore himself.
Dave G huh? Is that name just a coincidence 🤔
Wow is all I can say. I’m a huge Pink Floyd guy. Love this so much. If only I could play like this. Thank you
That guitar is actually singing the words. Amazing.
Very well done sir.
It says a lot about how an almost 50 year old song can still brings people to tears.
when a tear rolls down your cheek, you know you've been moved. tx
Fretboard mastery at its best!
I'm a Pink Floyd, fan and wow.
He almost makes it sound like the guitar is singing the song, fantastically amazing 👏
I’m singing the song in my head. 👍
Justin is a guitar hero. Period.
You take these iconic songs to an amazing level. Mr David Gilmore would surly have a smile listing to this.
Bellissima versione
You have a unique style and ear.. I like
Can't imagine somebody puting thumb down for this fantastic artwork. Thank you Justin you are inspiration for all guitarist.
Bravo! One of my favorite songs. Nicely done Justin!
What ☝he said! Love it!
💜 Hauntingly beautiful thankyou

I wished I were there. Distinctly beautiful.🎸🥲👍🏿

In Honor of my son Ben, and your friend Danny.
We'll see you again one day!
Stunning adaptation! You give to me chills and tears in eyes. Excellent 😉👍🎵🎸💙🎥
Could watch him play all day
Goosebumbs! Beautiful Justin 💯
Yup, really soft, just like goose bums😁😁
I know it's a typo, just couldn't help myself making a bad joke of it. Imagine my friends, who experience it on a daily basis😁
He plays so wonderful I like everything he plays. 🥰🤗
A classic, reworked by a classic guitarist 👍
Thank you Justin, may your music and mellow vibes play throughout the world and into the souls of hateful hearted world leaders so they can just sit back, pause and take in this timeless song and new artistic arrangement that you have created. Thank you and pray for a Happy 2023!
Can we just apply Justin Johnson treatment to every song in the world?
If only it was possible eh....... just add JJ to life
I second that motion
Yep
His Sabbath Planet Caravan is unreal...
So soothing . . . hmmm
What a great idea
Not too long ago, Nov. 23, 2023, I lost my stepmom to bone marrow cancer. Yeah she may not have been my real mom but she was still mom to me. My wife just played this song for me and all the wonderful memories of her just flooded my head. Amazing guitar playing brother
I love this Song! Beautifully done!🎆☮️
I have just heard his bluesy stuff until now. My level of amazement is gone way up.
You never disappoint, pure gold.
Dear Justin-
This is my favorite song ever written. By my favorite band of all time. My entire family knows how much this song means to me.

WYWH is one of my desert island songs, Justin. I was so glad to hear your cover. Bravo, Justin, bravo.
Absolutely love this version, I can't help but get a little teared up as this song causes me to remember the great times with all my friends you have died.
Justin "Midas" Johnson thank you for this
It seems to me that you don't want to show how good you are... You just play music. I feel like this is where the magic you transmit comes from. Your silence so as your notes speaks for you. Keep up the great work. Thank you man.
A modern day virtuoso. I've watched quit a few of his videos. Enjoyed them all!
I've always been a fan of Dark side of the moon& Wish you were here. Unfortunately I'm not a musician. All I can play is the radio or stereo. Lol 😆
It's funny, every time I watch TH-cam video's, no matter what I'm watching, I ALWAYS end up bingewatching JJ video's - like EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
A big THANK YOU for being such an incredible light in the world Justin - your music makes my day, every day.

Excellent way to put your own signature twist on this masterpiece.
Toujours aussi magique. C'est tellement beau, à chaque fois...
Stunning arrangement! JJ can put his own indelible stamp on any song, all the while staying true to the original… and amazing talent!

Es increíble tanto talento, la perfección de las notas interpretando el tema,la virtuosidad de la ejecución. Un fenómeno del “finger style”. Larga vida a Justin Johnson.

Beautiful song for this rainy 🌧 day ❤️ 🤘 🎸 🎶
I'm not a fan of covers, especially of my favorite songs (like this one), but once again, you knocked it out of the park. To be respectful of the original, but still make this version your own is impressive. That's Art... :)
Beautiful.
