Justus West & Abasi Concepts 

Good thing you said "literally". I'd hate for anyone to think you were speaking rhetorically.

@@hughjass5753 you live up to your name

What shoes is Justus wearing ?

@@metallicafan3124 Wow that's so witty. Hadn't heard that before. Very clever.

@@khgear7160 literal ones we just discussed this

He seems like a great kid as well as being a killer guitarist.

He also played with Leikeli47, which is where I first noticed the Abasi guitar. Didn't know he was a sponsored artist. Dude rips

Should hear him on the tribute to Mac done with ty$ on tiny desk. It was beautiful, he's super talented.

@@cstr8518 that solo was pure emotion man. Really gets me every time

Troy Tolbert Was he at Barleycorns? I missed that show

@@PB-1 yep! Sept. 18th

Donald Glover came to my mind as well, this dude is a killer guitarist.

Hendrix? That's a stretch. There are plenty of other black guitarist. Hendrix definitely didn't play jazz.

@@thesmellycatjazz well i wasn't meaning to a strict comparison by race. maybe hendrix didn't play 'jazz' but IMO he was one of the pioneers of neo soul guitar, which West is clearly influenced by. even then, i think hendrix did play jazz in some sense. he had some really complicated chord progressions, definitely not standard for rock or pop. so in short, nah its not really a stretch

@@TheFunkyCriminal That's a stretch and you're still wrong

@@thesmellycatjazz lmao alright man

@@TheFunkyCriminal this cat isn't from the house of Hendrix he's vibe is that from Wes Montgomery/ John McLaughlin and what he said himself, Mayer. Just cause someone is black doesn't mean they are automatically from the house of Hendrix. I get the same bullshit cause am Hispanic I automatically sound like Santana smh.

Unique? They look like copies of other modern brands

Nah more like Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino lol

Charmelle Cofield

yeah, he's definitely not a phenomenal guitar player....*cough*

brian burke i hope you get better from that cough

brian burke I didn’t say he wasn’t good. he clearly is. However Considering “There is nothing common than talented people who never find success” Having a mom whose rubbing elbows with Beyoncé sounds like it helps with getting-a-foot-in-the-door to me. Mind you, I’m not hating. If “nepotism” doesn’t vibe with you, call it “legacy insurance” I’m just saying After 20 years of practicing jazz standards with nothing to show for it, I’d like a relative whose friends with Beyoncé right about now. At What solo BPM does that happen? But Anyway, fun fact.... I worked at a go-cart track. Those spoiled little brats are insufferable, riding around in the 10,000$ toys. I much prefer this dude with an abasi instrument. He seems cooler this way.

@@AlexGordonMusic It does help to know people, and to be the type of personality that people would like to know

OdaKa granted.

Loser!
