Pretty Good Work! It is a pleasure to listen to your playing! I bought your arrangement-notes from musicnotes - but how get a "G" on the sixth string? Do you use an regular A-String instead of an E-String?
A natural reaction to Justin is that within half a minute, everything in you has slowed down and completely tuned in. Saying he has mastery is an understatement.
Outstanding! One of your many gifts is the ability to arrange a cover that captures the authentic essence of the song while elevating it with your own signature sound. 👏👏👏
@@jimshockey6789 straight up brother. Makes me want to burn my guitars. Just don't have the heart to throw away 45 years of practice. Seems like I waisted my time. None the less....glad I tried.
Its a great performance and arrangement, but I don't believe it's his arrangement. A while back another youtube musician posted a video performing the same arrangement while simultaneously singing over it.
I can't stop watching this. This is how you take a truly great song, honor the artists who gave it to us and make it even better. I think the Lizard King would approve.
You owe me a Vodka and Diet 7-Up cuz when I read that, it was all over the place. Awesome comment, Justin needs to include this comment in his commentary in one of his vids. Bravo
Thanks again Justin. I have not much to give you as I am saving up to have a trip to America sometime. I tell no lie, that you are stunning guitar player that I can listen to all night long. I can play an acoustic but will not get to your level. I have retired but still young at 63 years old and starting again on a Martin 6 string acoustic. Keep going amigo - Keith, from Liverpool UK.
Hi Keith! Thanks so much for your support of the channel. I love that you're picking up the 6-string again in your retirement.. It'll keep you young so Keep pickin! 🎸🎸
This video has 481K views, but only 16K likes. I'm going to bet that 70% of people who listen to his vids like them. He should have more than 16K likes on this. Y'all should make it a point to click that like button....
Been listening to JJ for years now and it is still hard to understand why most never heard of this guy. He might be the best blues player today. His technique just grabs you and pulls you into his sound. And he is one of the few guitarists who I can listen to without a voice, Jeff Beck and Link Wray are 2 others who fall into that category.
Throwing it out there, the next time you get any negativity at all, just remember you’re what’s up and it’s a privilege for us to hear what you choose to perform for us… thanks for all the good music
Justin can create rhythm and music on anything with a strung apparatus. He is amazingly talented. He inspires me to keep finding a way to play guitar with the handicap that I have in my brain injury. Rock on all ya'll!!!
I've been listening to LA Woman for close to 50 years and this is the best rendition I have heard next to the original. Jim, Ray, Robbie and John were like no other.
It's funny that a song that is essentially A and G can be so complex. Robbie did such an amazing job arranging his guitar parts to be almost magical. Justin did so much justice to the beauty of the song and the arrangement. Absolutely loved it and I'm stealing some of it for my own playing!
Justin you are my favorite i could listen to you all day all night i love your style and your passion and just everything about you you are a real musician
Yes sir just when I couldn't think the day would be any better and you my friend drop this EPIC COVER from an awesome band THANK YOU JUSTIN JOHNSON YOU MY FRIEND ARE A BLESSING TO THE WORLD MANY TIMES OVER
Justin Johnson is a rare gem in the world of guitarists, an artist whose mastery of the instrument transcends genres and expectations. Known for his unique approach to blues, roots, and Americana, Johnson’s playing is a seamless blend of technical prowess and raw emotion, with an ability to make even the simplest melodies resonate deeply with his audience. One of the most remarkable aspects of Justin Johnson’s artistry is his profound connection to the history of the guitar. His repertoire spans a variety of instruments, from the traditional six-string to cigar box guitars, resonators, lap steels, and even shovel guitars. Each of these instruments, in Johnson’s hands, becomes a vehicle for storytelling, evoking the rich heritage of American roots music. His dedication to preserving this heritage is not just about playing notes-it’s about channeling the spirit of the past into the present, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. Johnson's technical ability is astounding. Whether fingerpicking intricate blues patterns or playing slide guitar with soul-stirring precision, he navigates the fretboard with an ease that speaks of countless hours of dedication. His playing is clean, yet full of character, never losing the emotional depth that makes blues music so captivating. He manages to combine complex techniques with a deep groove, creating music that is both intellectually stimulating and rhythmically compelling. However, what truly sets Justin Johnson apart is his ability to evoke emotion. Listening to his music feels like an intimate conversation, one where every note carries meaning. His phrasing is impeccable-sometimes delicate and subtle, other times bold and fiery, always perfectly suited to the mood of the piece. His performances aren’t just about showing off technical skill; they are about creating an emotional experience for the listener. Whether he's playing a haunting Delta blues melody or an upbeat country-inspired tune, Johnson’s passion is palpable. His versatility is another defining feature. While Johnson is often categorized as a blues guitarist, his music is a fusion of various genres, including rock, folk, jazz, and even classical influences. This genre-blending allows him to create a sound that feels familiar yet innovative, drawing in listeners from all musical backgrounds. His ability to move effortlessly between different styles is a testament to his deep understanding of music and his fearless approach to composition. Beyond his impressive musicianship, Justin Johnson is also a passionate educator. Through his online tutorials and workshops, he shares his knowledge and techniques with a global audience, making his style accessible to players of all levels. His teaching is characterized by the same generosity and warmth that defines his performances, making him not only a gifted player but also a mentor to aspiring musicians. Justin Johnson is a guitarist whose talent, versatility, and deep connection to the roots of American music make him one of the most compelling musicians of his generation. His ability to blend tradition with innovation, coupled with his emotional expressiveness, ensures that his music resonates with a wide audience. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Johnson consistently delivers performances that are as technically impressive as they are soulfully moving. He is not just a master of the guitar; he is a true artist, capable of transforming simple strings and wood into a medium for profound expression. www.candiano.com
I would have thought this was impressive with the different lines in a loop pedal…all at once is just crazy. Out of the park as usual Justin, thanks for sharing!
Any guy that can play a shovel or other garden tools modified to incorporate strings and a pickup has no problem making a normal musical instrument sound fantastic. Justin Rocks. Love your style, and music brother.. It must be that smokey mountain spring water that carries the music right into the heart and bones of all music lovers..
Wow, I really don't know how to describe what your doing, how you play it, dream it in your mind and make it come out through the guitar. How's it feel to be the guy who raised the bar for the rest of the world? I hope your music rises to the level of recognition that the guitar greats from the past have received. You are truly phenomenal!
Enjoyed this to the max!!! This song while riding your motorcycle just makes the ride come alive. Well done sir. My pleasure to hear you play. Listening again while I'm writing this.
Here is one song I never expected to hear on an acoustic. This is the frickin’ epitome of cool!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Y’all it’s just scary to think how good this man may be 7-8 years down the road. At least that’s how I look at it. What an amazing performance, thank you for this July 4th treat. 🇺🇸🍻 🆒🤯
Justin always melds with his instrument. Doesn't matter where he touches it. He brings tears because of the feeling that is being created.. just brilliance as always!! Thank you Justin
Bonjour Justin. J'adore, bravo à vous, exceptionnel, j'ai passé un super moment en vous écoutant 🎶 Je vous souhaite le meilleur à vous et à vos proches et encore bravo pour cette prestation, super ✌️ 👍
I can play drums & the drum machine(pads/MPC) and I can vouch that it takes not only talent but loads of practice to be able to play more than one pattern on the same hand. Different patterns on different fingers is just as difficult as on drums doing different things with arms &or feet. Yup, that is true talent right there :) Dope song :)
Amazing! I’d love you hear you play more doors covers. If anyone could pull off an instrumental riders on the storm, or light my fire cover it’d be you.
HEY, JUSTON I'VE Been Listening to to all kinds Of music for over 50 Years now and you're Guitar playing style Is Very different from most all Other guitars I've been playing Bass for years and been trying to get the hang of guitar for along time now but can't seem to get it but You have Inspired me to Keep on trying Thanks

there is nothing just like this, so new and so special, ' you know dang well we who grew up with James
👍😘🤟

I'm 72, and i just got back my youth for a moment 😁🇫🇮
Thank you Justin
@fionnmaccuill415 From Elvis to this... it's been fun. The latest favorite is The Hu 😁👍🇫🇮
A natural reaction to Justin is that within half a minute, everything in you has slowed down and completely tuned in. Saying he has mastery is an understatement.
Truth.
Rip Jim Morrison! He’s been gone 51 years! Truly a poetic rock legend!
yes, and hearing his father speak of his son is just great/grand/to the *max beautiful*
System slave hope he repented right
Outstanding! One of your many gifts is the ability to arrange a cover that captures the authentic essence of the song while elevating it with your own signature sound. 👏👏👏
I was just thinking this exact same thing, Kevin. Justin is the living poster boy for "making it yours." But, not disturbing the roots.
completely agree, only to add "Mr Mojo risin"
@@jimshockey6789 straight up brother. Makes me want to burn my guitars. Just don't have the heart to throw away 45 years of practice. Seems like I waisted my time. None the less....glad I tried.
God dam man! Absolutely 💯 % diggin that!!
Its a great performance and arrangement, but I don't believe it's his arrangement. A while back another youtube musician posted a video performing the same arrangement while simultaneously singing over it.
What a talent. Those hands were born to play guitar.
What a groove - coming straight from the soul.
The amazing things some people can make come out of a guitar.
I can't stop watching this. This is how you take a truly great song, honor the artists who gave it to us and make it even better. I think the Lizard King would approve.
U got this so right on he is so refreshing to bring all of 72 music to date and way before
way before a master maker of the finest
Not better, but really cool.
You are a bad ass musician Justin, you blow my fucking mind with your arrangements.
Indeed. An no looper, no special effects....
Two of the best that ever did it! 🙌🏽💙
I don’t always have the chance to listen to Justin but when I do, so do the neighbors. 🎸
Happy Independence Day everyone 🇺🇸🗽🦅
Haha Yeah, Good Day for that cuzinz
🎸🧙♂️🎏🤩👍
Excellent 😋
🤣🤣🤣
That's Funny
You're neighbors are Blessed 🙏
You owe me a Vodka and Diet 7-Up cuz when I read that, it was all over the place. Awesome comment, Justin needs to include this comment in his commentary in one of his vids. Bravo
tearing it up… in a good way…..right in the pocket groove😊
He perfectly meets the mood of the original. His Timing is perfect. Chapeau!
Thanks again Justin. I have not much to give you as I am saving up to have a trip to America sometime. I tell no lie, that you are stunning guitar player that I can listen to all night long.

Top-notch guitar
A guitar God

His technique just grabs you and pulls you into his sound. And he is one of the few guitarists who I can listen to without a voice, Jeff Beck and Link Wray are 2 others who fall into that category.
It's amazing what tones the guy can elicit from a simple guitar.
Complete devotion, dedication and love for music.
I never really gave it much thought that Sr.J ... didn’t sing,he speaks clearly through the old six stringer.
Throwing it out there, the next time you get any negativity at all, just remember you’re what’s up and it’s a privilege for us to hear what you choose to perform for us… thanks for all the good music
so, lulu says , this: let it rip.....
Justin can create rhythm and music on anything with a strung apparatus. He is amazingly talented. He inspires me to keep finding a way to play guitar with the handicap that I have in my brain injury. Rock on all ya'll!!!
He's back!
I've been listening to LA Woman for close to 50 years and this is the best rendition I have heard next to the original. Jim, Ray, Robbie and John were like no other.
It is a marvel to watch as you keep your thumb separate from everything else going on on your right hand 🤯🤬🔥🎸
Best thing I've seen on youtube for a long time, and I'm always on youtube!
Superb Justin. PLEASE tour, live music makes the world a more tolerable place. Thanks for sharing!
I'm 66 years old the best guitarist ever
It's funny that a song that is essentially A and G can be so complex. Robbie did such an amazing job arranging his guitar parts to be almost magical. Justin did so much justice to the beauty of the song and the arrangement. Absolutely loved it and I'm stealing some of it for my own playing!
Solid play dude. Music is the sole panacea in life .
Impeccable timing
Justin you are my favorite i could listen to you all day all night i love your style and your passion and just everything about you you are a real musician
1 of the coolest things Ive ever listened to.
In life many of us hope to find just something that makes us shine. Justin will not have that worry.
Standing ovation from me!
Sorry Robbie, ...This is far superior.
F’ing WOW! Thanks, Justin….I had the privilege of seeing Jim do this with the Doors in 1970…you capture the groove so well :-)
Absolute genius. Captures the spirit of the original, yet stands as an original on its own..Only you
Yes sir just when I couldn't think the day would be any better and you my friend drop this EPIC COVER from an awesome band THANK YOU JUSTIN JOHNSON YOU MY FRIEND ARE A BLESSING TO THE WORLD MANY TIMES OVER
Each cover and arrangement is cooler than the last.
Unbelievable! Jim and Ray are smiling and Robbie needs to see this!👍👍👍

Justin, MAN!, you play all my favourite songs better than the originals!
You are the BOSS! Goddammit!
Thanks Professor 👏
Seriously!😊
I love the quick action here on the low string
When I listen to you perform the song, I can only wonder what the composer would think of your version. I’m sure they would be flattered
Yessss, Mrs Nikki is your LA Woman 🤘 ❤️ 🎸 luv the beat 💓"Little Jane" Furch is sounding Fabulous 👌 👏
Can't find the words, hope the memories tell the story.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
This is brilliant.
It's not an easy song to do on solo instrumental.
That simultaneous Lead and Bass is awesome. Talent 👍👏👌
Yeah it's Awsome, Also check out Cory Huvel version of this song on Acoustic, while singing, Also incredible, and doesn't seem possible on this song.

Standing "O" from where I sit. Outstanding work

I'm a Doors fan since 1967 and this is... WOW!!👍Fantastic!

One of the greatest blues guitarist, and i'am still waiting the moment he comes with his own song and reveal an amazing voice!
And they said it couldn't be done. You did it! Excellent!

What a great musician!
Simply. Brilliant. Speeches.
Nuff said. Pure genius.
Cheers.
Bravo Justin. Excellent i think even Jim would appreciate

A true showcase of the versatility of the guitar! Masterful arrangement and execution!
MOJO RISING!! As soon as you got into it I could hear Morrison's voice accompanying it.
Here is one song I never expected to hear on an acoustic. This is the frickin’ epitome of cool!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Y’all it’s just scary to think how good this man may be 7-8 years down the road. At least that’s how I look at it. What an amazing performance, thank you for this July 4th treat. 🇺🇸🍻 🆒🤯

Where have I been. I’m old and just today heard this dude for the first time. I’m hooked. Damm he’s good.
I can play drums & the drum machine(pads/MPC) and I can vouch that it takes not only talent but loads of practice to be able to play more than one pattern on the same hand. Different patterns on different fingers is just as difficult as on drums doing different things with arms &or feet. Yup, that is true talent right there :)
Dope song :)
Yeah this guy is the best guitarist ever look how he can do that percussion on his guitar nobody even comes close to being better than him
Can't wait for the tabs on this one!
Hell yeah!
The wait is over! 😁🎸 Guitar Tabs: www.musicnotes.com/l/tkfMm
love the doors
Amazing! I’d love you hear you play more doors covers. If anyone could pull off an instrumental riders on the storm, or light my fire cover it’d be you.
Or The End with all of the different songs in the song
Riders on the storm would be epic!
Hell yeah! Justin would rock those songs!
That was crazy good.
