Justin Johnson is a National Treasure!😊

[davesd-]

The legend Robert Johnson would be proud

[linwoodpond]

These are some of the most articulate, respectful covers I’ve EVER heard. He manages to respect his own creativity in the process of handling these old classics. Love and Respect, Homie😊

Cold night, homemade bean soup with ham, honey cornbread, the mountains are blue and JJ on the guitar. It just don’t get better than this! Dayum!

[Blues]

Thank you again Justin, for another beautiful piece of music

[BytheWay]

That guitar is also a beautiful piece of art! 🌿🌻🌿❤️❤️❤️You do it justice, Justin!

[edgarfoerster]

[sapelesteve]

Incredible JJ & just what I needed to hear on this bleak, cold & cloudy day! 👍👍🎸🎸

[harrymorris]

never get tired of that resonator sound ... thanx Justin, you're a true blessing for all of us <><

[marjorieandrzejewski]

Ahhh, so happy to hear you play this beauty of a Res, especially after you ceremoniously unveiled it during your LIVESTREAM 🤘

[BlondieG]

I love this arrangement on this fantastic resonator! I never, ever get tired of Delta Blues!! Thanks for sharing this with us today, JJ. I needed this chill vibe.

[NO_Expectations]

The sound of that guitar is so sweet, they call it resonator because it resonates the soul.

[jimkon]

And with that new guitar too. Love that sound.

I'm a 68 year old veteran, a little beat up, had a part of my lung removed recently to try and get the cancer. I have been playing for a while now. I love your style of playing and thats what I'm going to pursue. I ordered a Mule Resonator from Matt and I think I like the one your playing in this video so I think thats the one I'm going to go with. My wife said I'm too old to pursue such an endeavor but I told her I'm too old not to. If I don't do it now I never will. Looking forward to wrapping my fingers around that guitar. I appreciate your videos on technique and all that you do.

It's the Music Between the Notes that Counts !

[philliphale]

I don’t have any idea about playing a guitar, but I loved watching this. I’ve never seen or realized how your fingers play across the frets to make that wonderful sound. This song was slow enough for a non-player like me to follow along. As always, I’m very grateful to you for sharing your wonderful talent and passion with us. Blessings to all your endeavors.

Justin is one of the greatest guitarists of my time. Long live the blues!

[MikeM-Colorado]

Well that was wonderful. I think Justin has the best feel for this music as anyone alive today, and I might even include the dead guys.
Great tuning for blues in G! You get the 1, 4, and 5 as open string bass, and the top 4 strings are standard tuning so all your regular blues licks apply.
Thanks Justin for posting the tuning in the description. Great rendition of the saddest song RJ wrote…and that’s saying something.

[LoneWolf-McWeed]

Didn’t take long to get a video… you must love the new Mule!!! Sounds and looks killer
