    I wish that 60 years ago, someone had encouraged me to learn guitar.

      Get a short scale parlor guitar, tune It down a full step, start to play. One is never too old to learn, just a couple of notes will make your day. Three chords, your life.

      Like Liam said, no time like the present! Just get you a cheap acoustic and watch TH-cam, tons of lessons out there. Or if you want a more personal experience look up instructors in your area!!

      значит были более интересные дела- раз 1960 годы не стал играть на гитаре- тогда же все наверно на гитарах играли - битломания и так далее)

    I think we could ask Justin to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and what we'd get would be a beautifully haunting, rich, compelling piece of music.

    Thank You Justin. You are the most musical player I know. Not silly legato typing exercises. As on old dude struggling with malignant cancer, your music gives me peace. And someone gave you the very best compliment: You are not playing the guitar, you are talking through it. : )

      Yes sir my friend they're not a lot of people who understand how this man speaks with all of his guitars he is a musical genius and hate to hear about your cancer sir it took my grandpaw and this song reminds me of him so much and I send so many prayers and good will to you and your family sir

    Dang... Justin I think you're a part of my cadré.. This is the fourth or fifth time you've uploaded a song that my soul needed that day.. This is a song to my Daughter whom I am missing terribly. I will see her soon but until then thank you for giving my heart a voice today

      @Gidgetwaterbear000 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've never seen you say you take requests LOL, but I think I'm not to let that stop me 😅 but someday if you feel inspired to do so there's 50 year old mom of one, that would be just elated to hear you play," My Girl", one of these glorious Days. Her name is Elizabeth Gracie Mae, btw😘🪶🫶😊

    Lordy!!!
    That moody soulful bluesy undercurrent vibe really disarms you and gets right under your skin, you have no choice but to surrender and enjoy! The man has a rare talent in his ability to interpret a song beautifully and give voice to a set of strings even though no words are spoken!

    I've never heard anyone make the guitar sound like this. You make it look effortlessly, as a guitarist myself I understand how much talent you have. Im blown away by how great you make it sound. Very glad I happen to find your music here on TH-cam. Can listen to you play for hours. So relaxing and soothing. Keep up the good work Justin

    Lots of fine folks, that know their music, say Justin Johnson is underrated. I agree. But when you consider
    that millions of people heard of him, or met him, or say he stayed in their house, or subscribed to his channel.
    Whatever the reason. Added up, it makes Justin Johnson Guitar GOAT and Musician of Musicians status.

    Your talent never ceases to amaze me! One guy. One guitar. So much sound! Subtle here. Bold there. And everything in between. I can't comprehend how one brain can keep track of it all!!
    I sure hope we both get to Heaven because I want hear what that God given talent sounds like at the ultimate level!!! Everything good true and beautiful comes from the Lord, and that was beautiful! THANKS!!

    I've been actually playing for about 50 yrs. and played all over the south ! listened , played , picked with about all the bigger performers and without a doubt , Justin Johnson has the keenest ear for Heart felt soulful music ! My desire has always been to not,,, just play that wood box , bu tomake it describe my feeling and actually speak ! Justin Johnson can make that happen , time and time again !

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    It's not warm when she's away
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And she's always gone too long
    Anytime she's goes away
    Wonder this time where she's gone
    Wonder if she's gone to stay
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away
    And I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know
    Hey I oughta leave young thing alone
    But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, woh woh
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    Only darkness every day
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away
    Anytime she goes away
    Anytime she goes away
    Anytime she goes away
