"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on Vintage Oil Can Guitar 

New subscriber, but from your other videos. You are amazingly talented. It just seems to flow right out of you. Stick anything with strings in your hands and you just seem to stroke it until it makes sounds that stir the soul. What an apt song, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"... it is crying with joy at having your hands make it produce such amazing music! You have such a wide range, too and a unique sound/style. Stay true to yourself. You are one of a kind!

I feel that music,I actually feel it in my deep dark soul,I'm a lost traveler in this wide world,all the one I've heard,You sir,are Amazing,much love from West Kentucky,in the sticks

How many damn guitars you got. It seems you always play a different one never the same but they are beautiful and full of great craft.

Have you considered recording a version of "Let It Be"?

Thank you sir! Subscribed! :)

He should make one out of a porch swing but it would have to be like the ironing bord one where it’s supported by something! 🤘🎸

I just imagine his face and eyelook when such thought comes into his mind

Remind me of a guy in elementary school ´but what about soccer?’

Now that's funny!

Best Post OF the day award goes to Brett Houston Tube! LMAO! EPIC!

哈哈哈 笑死了。。hahaha

Brett Houston Tube best comment ever

Brett Houston Tube right?

Some say you just have to hand in your soul.

Maybe so

@@justaletdown People who are too lazy to put in the work say that

Jimmy Dean Bowl or people just trying to make a joke

I think JJ reached the 10,000-hour rule early in life. Master guitarist.

Agreed 100%!

1000% correct! This dude is IT!

While my guitar gently leaks.

Erro tom petty prince and a crew

@@kornbread5359 True enough and I've seen that performance, but for true artistry I would have to say that Justin has captured the heart and soul of this song.

Id like to see him and Jake Shimabukuro get together

@@chasvanhulsentop4229 why?

Would have been great accompanied by a slide guitar (a slide one string shovel or tin can guitar) , something weeping :-)

Check his shovel guitar bit. So well done they accused him of faking the video til he did it live and shut everyone down

Hell yeah

Sir George is looking down on him in the hope that he can get better “Oh, so that’s how the song I wrote should be played!

😐 No he's not....

Not Jeff Healey?

@@efigeniocandido5833 well said ... The hand full of talent can make any guitar weep

@@ccr2569 absolutely correct. Nothing more needed to say..

Twas a strange guitar the auctioneer held up. "Do I hear one dollar, two?" Then came Justin, who took it and played this. Handing it back, the auctioneer said "Do I hear one thousand, two?" ...mod from the masters hand

Sound pretty slick!😁

Louis de la Verité it’s beautiful.

Exactly

the sound pretty much comes from the amp settings, the guitar sound is minimal.

High-mileage oil is the secret.

You would never need a radio again!

Have you ever listened to a musician learning a song or playing scales? 90% would be that and senseless noodling lol

@@TheSteinbitt I imagine it wouldn't take very long for Justin Johnson to learn a new song. Although, he does like to experiment with... really anything that might be able to be turned into a guitar. So, you might hear him playing his toilet in the middle of the night.

barebare my thoughts exactly 😂😂😂

@@TheSteinbitt A good musician can play scales and make them sound like a concerto.

"And All the Ghosts That Turned to Look." Sounds like the title of a song! ;D*

John Edwards Wow. Great writing. I mean that.

Linda Smith This is actually pretty inspiring

The visual is kinda haunting

And the Spirits stopped what they they were doing, so they could better listen. And smiled sweetly at what sweet sounds they heard.

Ooo. Nice ambiance fo'sho! Im there!

yes, and sanely in...xo

You would be suprised how easily you can turn something into a guitar that has an unique sound 😊

There are people that can make anything sound good, it's more about the player than the instrument.

interesting, note: I have been listening to this wonderful version and did not even know, that this was an oil can body gee tar...

@@xXAlmdudlerXx What shovel? I myself have played the long-handle, the short-handle, the garden spade, and the gravedigger's spade.

You get shocked easily.🤗

Me too! I would very quietly just soak it all in.

take me with u to this peaceful place :D

Hidden Thought I'd be jonesing for a crack of the shoeboxes

Hidden Thought You already did with RU-vid! Lol

In other words, you would be the camera man:)

Yngwie Malmsteen dies a pretty good version

How are you today, Brother? I am sending prayers your way.

Keep chin up bud .iv just found this guy and what a way to start my days now

I can relate Jimmy

🎯 That's me brother!!!

Or New Zealand 👍

Or Brazil

Now it comes in plastic bottles and they’re much smaller than that

Kathleen Shaw That’s really cool Kathleen! Thanks for sharing!

I still use it for a lot of stuff, but the craziest is how good it works to clean firearm silencer which get really dirty inside. Marvels cleans it very well.

and over the years the push mower slowly turned into a riding mower!

David Dreier don’t know what’s in it but it’s good stuff!

I feel the same!!! He's absolutely amazing❤ yes! God bless you!!!

This is one of my favourite emotional song ever 😢

BigDGuitars - 😂

@@ericong4100 yeah, and for a while I did not even notice this was made from an oil can....loved it from minute one...

I kinda see what you mean but nah that's full on playing right there. Noodling is when you kinda just play notes in no order and not on a tempo but he can definitely do that shit all day long

Noah b beats yea, but once you get really good at it your noodling will sound like music.

@@kornbread5359 Awesome insight!!

Hope it's going well random man

This Guy is amazing Bid D. On an oil can Guitar He also plays the hell out of your Jack Daniels custom !

Good music is where it's always been, hiding out in far flung corners of the world. The radio may be a slightly less good way of collecting some of it together in one place, but arguably while theres a lot more you have to sift through, it's a lot easier to find the REALLY good stuff with the internet, old or new. And remember, the past has the benefit of having already searched through to find some of the best, and was able to easily and cleanly forget about the bad. The present's got the new stuff, which imo balances out the bad. Bardcore for example. A lot of it's bad, low effort, or even just midi translations. But theres some real stuff in that trend, and it sounds GOOD, if that's your kind of taste. Personally, I love peasant music of all eras, cultures, and styles. Suffering creates good art, as sad as that is, and I'm as much a peasant as all my ancestors right down to the first ape that got on it's hind legs. Working class american, Vast latino diasporas, the chronic suffering yet unquenchable positivity of irish trad, the still conquered but still fighting scottish, the icy cold neverending gothic of eastern europe. The older than mountains spirit at the core of traditional chinese, the peasant victims of japan's warrior culture, and the modern day backbreaking stress of the salaryman too stressed to even make music but with the energy to choose music, and the suffering to choose well. Music from dead cultures that have been wiped out by the nobility and oppressors that crushed our ancestors into the dirt as well as them. Modern defiance music, Jazz, classic pop, punk rock, all the thousands of kinds of metal, And best of all, the many syntheses of all these categories from the emerging zeitgeist of the modern peasant, united across all borders by the internet, that within our lifetimes will stretch across the globe. Imagine the music we'll all make when that freshly opened up globe shrinks again when the water comes in to claim our shores. How sharp the minors, how angry the majors, how deep the soul, and how fast the swing. Every kind of noise humanity ever learned to make in a single harmony to the end of the world... or in defiance of that end, and an ending of the source of that pain. I wonder if once suffering is over, the best music on earth will be made from happiness?

They say there is good music out there but if a tree falls and nobody is there did it make a sound? More importantly, this makes for a peaceful mind. The crap the kids listen to today makes for a less intelligent Joker from Batman.

There are still great artists making great music. You're most likely not looking hard enough.

Beautifully put, CurvingFyre.

Listen on, comrades.

It's the nasty side of humanity. If we can't run - at least we can try to trip someone else up who can.

There are people who push dislike for every video they watch. Don't ask me why, because I don't know

Enrico Menconi your right

Wish people wood stop asumeing he sold his sole to the devil the guy how is terrible and bad ....listen to him he is far from that jesus.

John Doe true

Excellent version of a George Harrison song a novelty use of a oil can

John Doe you are, and you could be. If it's in your heart its possible.

I wish I could just play half of that

Look around, music is everywhere and always have been

It's so much more amazing and fuller through 200lb Bozaks and an old Sansui amp!

Tapping my feet to the Blues w/ tears rising in my eyes. So much soul touching my pain(s). Wunderbar, Justin, danke!

How do ever get to meet this guy? Send him a guitar made out of one of my old prosthetic feet that I’ve got laying around?

@@kaisadler Justin was scheduled to play and give a workshop in Navasota, Texas for the Mance Libscomb Festival. At the time, I was selling my CBGs at the store where the venue was held. We met and talked for a while. I left to go to my home in Katy, TX. Imagine my surprise when my wife Marilyn called me on the cell to tell me that Justin called her to see if I had some fret wire I could spare for him. Justin and Nikki came to our home later that day in their camper. We ordered Chinese for dinner and talked for hours getting to know each other. They then spent the night at our home and were even gracious enough to cook us breakfast the next morning! 💯❤😁

@@pairsnpaint sounds like my idea could work if I ever find him pluckin around over in Cali?
