Over 10 Minutes of Laid-Back Acoustic Blues Guitar to Escape To • 'BLUES ESCAPE'

Whatever's going on in the world, nothing helps me relax more than sitting back on the porch, picking some slow, meandering blues. One of my favorite guitars to take outside & kick back with is my new P20E Parlor guitar from @prsguitars It's got that down-home bluesy tone, and is compact enough to be comfortable anywhere.

TUNING: Standard Tuning Down a Half-Step: Eb-G#-C#-F#-Bb-Eb
GEAR:

Coming from a 43 year old man that has played the blues for 35 years. This is my favorite blues artist alive. For what its worth I'd love to have a session with Justin as would so many I'm sure

The thing I love about this channel is the breadth of experience that you can cull from it. If you just look at this video, you fall into the typical youtube keyboard warrior trap: if I had an elite PRS guitar, the right amp, and all those pedals...then I could be a tone-master blues guru. But if you've followed this channel for any length to time, you know Justin could do the same with some string taped over a toilet seat.

I am 71 years old and have listened to many, many different “blues guitarist/ artists ” over my lifetime. Justin Johnson is absolutely at the top of this list!
He is a “master craftsman“ and plays the guitar so effortlessly it just seems to be part of him. I guess that it is more than apparent that it part of his heart and soul....keep up the good work!👏👍❤️

There isn't a problem in the world that I can't let go of for a while just sitting on the porch with my guitar. The huge difference being, I don't sound anywhere near this good. That little PRS really sings for you. Thanks for the escape.

I learned the Em chord today. Tomorrow, this.

How lucky am I to be alive in a time when I’m given the opportunity to watch a modern master of guitar play close up. View his fingerings, techniques and listen to incredible instruments thru top of the line audio equipment. How much would it be worth to go back in time and be afforded the chance to sit this close to Son House or Robert Johnson. This old dying gray beard has listened to a lot of em come and go, and you young fella are as good as they come. BRAVO Thanks for being you and letting me watch.

The sound of the wind and the cicada with your playing makes this so atmospheric and therapeutic man... I absolutely love this. GOD FUCKING BLESS YOU MAN.

[avalondreaming]

We need to get JJ to 1 million. Spread the word, there's a new guitar God!

[southernviking]

It isn't about whether you can you can "Play" the blues..it's whether you can "FEEL" the blues...and this man clearly possesses the latter ability. ;) great playing, def subbed.

[joaquinbalabanian]

I built my own 3 stringed cigar box guitar, started playing slide, and continued to study the blues and playing it with my acoustic. You are such an inspiration!

[boomerdell]

Who knew watching and listening to one person play one acoustic guitar for over 10 minutes without a word said or sung could be so mesmerizing. Amazing. It could’ve been an hour and held my attention the whole time.

[raunaqsahu]

It's Friday tomorrow, and I've been dragging myself through a particularly bad week . I'm going to pour myself a glass of something nice and kick back with this playing in the background. Thank you Justin!

[tomheinze]

Wonderful!! The Cicadas in the background just add "atmosphere".

[Dracorvis]

When things are looking scary in the world, you give us the sweet sound of blues and it makes everything feel so much better. Thank you for these wonderful musical interludes.

[rodnocker]

A true old black blues soul in Justin. I ordered this little PRS parlor yesterday and even though it’s on back order and will take a little longer to get here than usual, I can’t wait to get my hands on it. In the meantime I just keep watching Justin’s videos and dreaming😎 thanks Justin! You are a true inspiration.

[MichaelJones-gwsg]

Your ability to keep the bass line going at a different tempo than the melody is the mark of a true musician! That's awesome. Thanks for putting this up. i'm in.

[toddalan]

JJ hi again from Afghanistan WOW WOW AND WOW !! A free concert for us over here again THE TROOPS SAY THANK YOU THANK YOU A TOUCH OF HOME WE APPRECIATE YOU SIR !!

[Brembelia]

Some people think that Justin plays so
well b/c he is using quality equipment.
What they are failing to understand is
that the magic is in the fingers. Justin
can and does play everything from high
end instruments down to cigar boxes
and ammo canisters!! Justin is a magic
musician with the heart, soul, and digital
dexterity to make it all happen. :D (And
we are loving it!!) Great job, JJ. Gorgeous
blues riffing. Keep it coming, y'all. :)

[magistersteveperkins]

Where other people doodle circles and lines on scrap paper, you effortlessly draw forth magic from those strings. Thank you!
