There are fretboard blazers out there. There are smooth melodicists who can tug at your heart. There are a legions of wood choppers who shun any attempt at finessing a guitar’s capabilities. Then there’s Mr. Johnson - the guitar becomes an organic extension of him. His is one of the most impressive displays of musical expression I’ve ever witnessed.

The Ballad of Justin Johnson. The greatest picker to ever play the blues.

You can always tell when Justin is enjoying certain riffs or sections of a song. He grins the most suttle of grins when he's really getting in to it. He's amusing to himself and loves what he's doing. That's the best feeling of them all

I have finally made it to Delta Blues on the instructional DVD and almost have it down after only really starting to work on it yesterday afternoon. Thank you so much Justin!!! 🙏🏻🎸 now I am itching to get better at slide guitar

In the army, they investigated me, because the intelligence is changing, they told me to play a Spanish game of chess, because I only play flamenco on the guitar, and only blues on the guitar, because I used to play chess in some Florida or Arizona.

Thank you so very much for hours of beautiful music.

It's great to see young players like this embrace the blues. In the right hands the blues is just as vibrant and creative as it was a hundred years ago. I hope this helps inspire other young players to take up this art form.

I love your arrangements, Justin. You are true to the original and yet you make every song your own. There's no one like you!

This Dude is a Master Guitarist

Love his style... clean, relaxing, relatable. I just sit back and let the rhythm wash over me... peace!

I remember being a young teenager when "Sharp Dressed Man" hit the radio. I was hooked immediately.

Very inspiring . He could pick up any guitar and take it for a dance to places that guitar has never been before

Dude… you literally go beyond playing an instrument… it becomes part of you… If i HAD a hat, I would take it off. I play classical myself and see the discipline that you have put into your craft… well. Done.

There aren't enough superlatives or adjectives to even begin to adequately explain what you do Justin....it's been said that music is the true universal language of expression and emotion and you very clearly show all of us all that and more....thanks from a subscriber for life

Played the Box of Wood and Wire for 64 years, and while not quite at yourlevel of execution, I was pretty salty. THEN a minor stroke took the function of my left hand. So now I am in search of "my favorite" guitarist to listen to the rest of my days. You are it I believe. Wonderful slide work! Flawless! KEEP IT UP my friedn!

We don't get the Blues on free FM radio, I would have to buy Serious Radio, is that what we call it? I don't have the money, but sometime later. God bless Justin Johnson, and his hair is great. If he did a show with Joe Bonamassa, would it be a good vibe?

For me - Gravity. The phrasing, timing, dynamics and little pinch harmonics - made it other worldly. Thank you Justin.

The best musician playing the Dobro instrument.

This whole playlist should be on a CD of its own!

Justin, it's always a re eal treat to hear and see us play. Why are you not filling stadiums cuz you shoud BE.. Love what U DO

Anyone else remember the days when you'd take the new LP home from the record shop and listen to find your favourite tracks? If you were lucky there'd be at least one that would make you really sit up and take notice and no more than one which was a bit "meh". Approach this video like an LP and it's an absolute corker. Not a single dud. And I have no idea what you're up to in the Robert Johnson one. Did you sprout invisible extra fingers and stretch space-time? How can you fit those notes in and still sound like there's room for more but you've chosen to leave them out? Mastery is always inspring to behold. Thank you, sir.

❤ Always end up on this channel. I play Justin as background music to just about any interview or spoken word newscast I listen to. JJ makes everything better! 🎸
