Last week, I worked up a fingerstyle arrangement for Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman," and got so many requests for "Hit the Road Jack" ...well, here you go! I love your requests, and try to hit as many as I can. This tune is one of my favorite Ray songs, and I had never tried to play it solo fingerstyle, so thanks for throwin' down the challenge! The melody and bassline bounce off of each other in such a hypnotic way... and the minor key swing in the bass is just so damn groovy!

Wonderful 👍❤️🔝
Justin ~ have you played Suspicious Minds? Elvis or Dwight Yokeum? Bet it would sound amazing!! I enjoy your music so much.
Reminds me of growing up back home 🤗
honestly mate, fair dinkum eh ya pretty fuggin deadly on the good ol gheetah 😎🇦🇺
I recon Brian Setzer's Stray Cats would be great to add your style to
In 1974 i had lessons how to play the guitar , One day I hurt my fingers on my rigth hand and my teacher didnt allow me to play with a pick or my right thumb . i never learned to play .
POV: You just played the entirety of hit the road jack fingerstyle without a single mistake and make it look as simple as walking ...
Well it is as simple as walking... Problem is we're a bit cripple :/
Beware of the man that only shoots one gun, he knows how to use it.
Take caution when approaching someone with the patience to learn music, they probably have very little patience left for anything else.

What’s even more frustrating is how easy and simplistic he makes it look.
simple, not simplistic!
@@ArhaeG That's bollocks. Nothing about this is simple. You're doing one of two things, either you've never touched a guitar in your life so you can't understand the level of difficulty of what his doing, or you're trying to sound cool by pretending this is simple for you. Either way, you should shut it.
@@JohnDoe-yw2nq I agree. It is a little like "playing those simple ACDC tunes...". If you request perfect tone, pefect timing, perfect feel, perfect sync with the other guys in the band, the mega tight impression of the performance, etc etc, then all of a sudden, very very few are left, that can do it that well. And then they have not been the ones that actually put together these tunes so skillfully....!
@@vespass225 Yes, very much so! Two people can play the same tune in very different ways.
@@JohnDoe-yw2nq lol Pierre bensusan is difficult... this while not easy, is actually pretty simple - although you have to have a good sense of rhythm to begin with with. The title says fingerstyle - for fingerstyle this is simple.
Okay. Justin wins. Been watching this guy for a while. Genius level.
His version of while my guitar gently weeps is amazing
@@samhigdon4702 can confirm
@@notme1998 I play my own version of that song but it's not even close to that good my version has some of the same step downs and jazz/blues chords he used but his fingerpicking is amazing
Agreed. I love listening to him talk about instruments and music. Fucking intelligent guy
yay!!!
I'd be happy if I could just play the baseline that well.
No One:
Justin Johnson: *Casually stretches 128 frets repeatedly with no buzzing or mistakes*
Well it is as simple as walking... Problem is we're a bit cripple :/

I was one of MR. C's last recording engineers. He was making music up until the end. He would of loved your take on his song. Makes me miss him more than usual. You honor him, Justin. He would probably say, "That was fiiiine, Baby Baby!"
6 Fret Spread in the 1st position. You are the Boss JJ ! Ray sure gave us a lot, right out of the plain old major scale. Thanks man, you're awesome.
Yeah, I just saw that. What the heck, awesome.
Hit the road jack uses the natural minor scale
I think
Same thing as the relative magor u guess
I guess
It was said that Jerry Lee Lewis was so good on his piano, he didn't need a Bass player. Well, I think this dude right here is so damn good on his guitar, He doesn't need a rhythm guitar, bass, drums, heck even a lead singer - bitch he IS the band
i really like this person
Thanks I go sell my guitar now ya big ruiner
Welcome to the club, got rid of mine a couple months back..
Lol, never give up! I just continue strumming and then I watch him and am glad to hear it! 😄💖
The guitar : what I did? to sell me for what
Literally one the best musicians in the world
May be the best !
Completely agree!
Yeah literally though, I can’t argue with you there. He is literally the best I’ve ever seen it would be impossible to top the talent
of
@@harmsworthcharles3261 Tommy Emmanuel is the best musician on my opinion
Needed this today my mom would always play this song on the radio when I was younger.
over here on the Hawaiiian Islands Mothers Day: Malama Your Mama.....GB
50 dollar for patreon ?? What ..giving a secret of the universe ?????
It's like you knew I needed exactly this today. Been watching you a while, and am completely awestruck
These Justin interpretations are like navigations through a cultural landscape. Incredible voicing on the strings.
Who downvotes this stuff? "Oh, I can do that way better" ha, if you can, why don't you appreciate a fellow musician... I don't get it.
I do agree! How is it possible not to appreciate it! Let´s keep spreding good deeds!
Some humans are broken beyond repair. This guy is great at his instrument.
Too right!!
The green eyed monster jail hussy is an evil be atch.
this is youtube
Man i love that guitar. That bass is just thumpy. The arrangement is awesome as always. Kinda get a bluesy spanish vibe. Awesome
Update: I've almost completely learned this song! Thanks Justin, this is amazing inspiration for fellow guitarists.
I was waiting to see who was playing bass....
It was you 😎🇦🇺😎
Fingers have a life of their own, Adams Family Thing 😆
There’s a little guy playing a counter-bass, behind the curtains..;-)
@@danielibnz I KNEW IT!! 🤣
There are times that music can heal a broken heart…and times it can rip it out and stomp that sucker flat. This rendition has a spirit that would even give Jack hope....well done!
Always love listening to stuff like this from you. I would absolutely love to get some tutorials on these kind of songs.
Keep up the great stuff man, love this

Billy strings, and Justin Johnson. Best musicians hands down.
I've heard many versions of Hit The Road Jack, and this is absolutely my favorite version.
Can't help but move with the rhythm a little bit...good stuff.

Dontcha come back here no more.....Never Justin. We look forward to your return always🖤✔🎸🎧
That’s what happens when you get here late, someone beats you to the comment you thought up. Well done.
@@gsdfan8455 #chuckle. JJ notification came up and I'm a devoted fan. I was on it xo love□light ty.x and ty JJ
Justin - so natural, so smooth, so fluid, just sooooo good. Very well done. Cheers from Canada!
Love when musicians play a cover like this it make it posible to see what ray Charles is singing
If you play this good without making weird faces, you're a God lol
Alright, slow bluesy rendition I thought. I can dig this.
Then Justin introduced the smoooth jazz.
the feeling when listening that is just... O_o
can't even imagine what is happening in his head while playing it...
you understand when peole can play by ear it is rather ez but he knows music on a staff this is so extra great that he is able to also teach what he knows now who can do this or would do this God Bless JJ
Man, that's... possibly the best version I've ever heard. You're out of this world.
Like the style that you bring to this song. It really works well and I look forward to every upload. Keep it up man
If you watch it hit the the thumbs up button ladies and gents
Im loving these covers dude,so soulful and majestic playing style
HIT THE ROAD JACK AND DON'T YOU COMEBACK NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE
Dude! My brain can't handle this
Yeah man!
that finger spread is INSANE!! My favourite guitarist
If you dislike this, your names probably Jack and you got told to hit the road
ha hahaha ha true
LOL. HELLO 👋 This guy is to kewl!!❣️ ☮️
The funny thing is: I was watching this at 1.5x speed and didn't realize it. I thought he was just that damn fast.
starts singing "I've got sixteen tons and whattya get.. another day older and deeper in debt.. hit the roooad jack!"
damn thats crazy I was singing the same tune
Nice & Smooth!‼️❣️💖
Love this Guy!!
XD

My mom had this album, played every Saturday after American Bandstand, if not my aunt...and they would dance...uh huh....
When I was a youngster I played my mom's Ray Charles country album and Buck Owens over and over. (that goes back a ways)
P0p

I officially declare that this is the theme song for the year 2020, it's time for 2020 to hit the road! Id also like to add, this is version is the best that I've ever heard! It makes me think about that Michael Keaton movie where he played a mental patient.....
The Dream Team
Again 2020 can hit the road. I don't think all of hollywood's writers could write a movie as original and unbelievable as 2020.
I really feel for the people who are sad enough to even consider disliking. If you are that 1 person you don’t deserve Justin’s videos on your feed
Love the walking blues. And love that you would honor Ray Charles with this great cover. He's probably smiling up in heaven.
Deeply appreciating talent and heart like Justins' strengthens my love of humanity ...and it needed it!
Reminds me of Pete Huttlinger's cover of Superstition. So much going on, you'd think it was 2 or 3 guitars if you closed your eyes.
Pete was off the charts. Glad to see someone pick up the banner and carry on. God didn't give me this set of abilities but I'm glad He gave it to someone.
Finger movements like a piano player... smooth and graceful... amazing 🤩
Oh woman, oh woman, don't treat me so....
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back 😍🥰
What if I don't wanna hit the road, Justin? lol

That guitar looks like a Glarry GT-501, it's probably not but if it is you really made it sound like a million bucks, and even if it isn't. Lol 😆
A Martin
here is the video explaining: th-cam.com/video/Bgvg1zJNmLA/w-d-xo.html
He’s using a Martin guitar. Check the description if you want to know the exact model. It still sounds like a million bucks though!
Looks like a Martin 000 17 Whiskey sunset ?.......it is ..just looked in the info below the video
@@leemartin2978 I didn't really think it was a Glarry, but it absolutely does look like one. I bought one for my son Patrick. It was his first guitar. Thanks for letting me know though.

amazing arrangement, man! dang. that spice on the outro was nice!
I like how he's feeling it the entire song
the only thing missing from this amazing perfect cover is Ray's vocal line "what you saaAAAYY??"
yavo!
Maestro eres un crack total me encantaría escucharte tocar black Magic woman por sugerencia pero vamos que más que más y más que suficiente lo que he escuchado de ti fan number one!! Jejje
Кайф, кайф, кайф!!! 😊
This guy just operates on an different plane than the rest of us.
It's just lovely how his fingers are dancing to the music
That what she said
all i see is positive comments. but not one explaining why the thumbs down.
do you think hes faking?
do you think he did it wrong or didnt like how it sounded?
maybe you dont like his long hair?
is it the rings?
some of these people need to explain themselves
I'm addicted to fingerstyle thumb bass. The joint in my thumb is getting so sore.
Is he using his thumb to hold down 5th and 6th string frets?
@@ashvirtewharie4454 both thumbs dance together according to what key your in.
learning the caged system is a good way to incorporate thumb bass. I do most of it by ear. Expessiely when playing in different tunings.
I have to say the best way to learn is listen to Justin 24/7
I see Justin Johnson uploaded...Can't hit the button fast enough!!!😛 Thanks for posting .....
This guitar is more a part of his body than my right hand is to mine
It frightens me that he could pick up any of the guitars in my office and do this them...
You blow me away how effortless you make it look, no matter what you play it just flows out of you, very impressive
Why this song, why now. It is a statement. Yes! hit the road Jack and don't come back to the White House no more.
The way you play it sounds great. But that's true of everything you play. I'd be happy just to hear you play the alphabet song.
Thanks for this today.
I wish to play like u man
Put it at 1.25 speed, it sounds really cool
Got em tapping their toes down at The Crossroads
Crazy good
What do you need for a cool evening?
A new video from JJ.
JJ most likely has a cool evening most nights if ya know what i mean😜
@@maxryder8048 I know whatchu mean. :-)
Sick brother! You make it look easy as breathing.
i love the way this guy can play blues and look like a long haired pelican at the same time
That's weird. Wonder how he would assess your strange features... probably wouldnt. Judge not, junior
I recently began playing around with an acoustic guitar that has been lying around my parents house for as far as I can remember. I just wanted to see if there was someone in the comment section that may answer something for me. This guitar only has 4 strings. It’s missing the top 2 strings that I am pretty sure would be the deeper sounds. It may be a while before I can get the other two strings for it. Should I wait until I get all 6 strings? I only ask bc I won’t be able to get them any time soon.
If you're missing E and A then tune the other strings to DGBD, and play that to familiarise yourself with how acoustic playing is
He’s the bass, percussion and singer all in one! Amazing
Thanks again! Amazing 👏⭐️👏⭐️👏
whoah, such a great feel, rhythm, and tone. mazing playing. you never cease to amaze my man :D
Greatest guitarists ever
Ok
Sounds great brother
Im in love with this
As usual, fantastic arrangement, but also perfect timing for that song :)
Awesome stuff Justin, such a classic tune. There’s a version of Tom Petty segwaying to this in the middle of Breakdown on the Live Anthology. It’s sick
Love that version of breakdown
Thank you Justin
We know you’re a fine player, but that was quite exceptional - even for you :)
Loved every pulse
So simple, but so hard to get used to. This is one of those tunes that you can suddenly play half decent. I recommend trying!
Nice 👍 I’m loving all the work your putting out right now ❤️
I love how you can see him grooving the whole time, he's really feeling it
More I listen to you, the more hooked on your style I get.... You're a great player man.
Nearly 1,000 views in less than 8 minutes. Not bad.
How is it possible that ONE guy, with ONE guitar can make all that music with such ease. If I had one wish, it might not be for world peace! I’m selfish that way!
Merci monsieur Justin Johnson excellent 👍👍👍👍😁🇫🇷
How could anyone not like this?
Goodness gracious. I’ve got no words for this one. Home run
This is the best guitar cover/arrangement of any song ever. 🤘🎸🤠🤯
Genius.please put your spin on some pink floyd.wish you were here would be interesting.
I second that.
What an excellent rendition, franlkly it's been a while since I've listened to any Ray, but this was really awesome!! thank you!
