BLUES GUITAR • One Hour of Laid-Back Solo Blues Guitar

Got to thank you bluesman...I'm 70 and my hands are gone...your music brings back the days of joy...peace!

I'm with ya on that issue bruv. I'm a retired drummer and due to age (I'm 63) and age related muscle and joint pain then I have to medicate and stimulate myself to get through a rigorous drumming session, so, it's ibuprofen with codeine, caffeine, ginseng and Red Bull for me. 😂

I’m just a 70 year old guy,, kicking back smoking a good cigar and drinking Scotch ,while listening to you playing. I think back to an old friend Terry Garland who played the blues his whole life and lived to play. It was in his blood and I can tell it’s in yours. Keep playing like that man, the world needs it.

My love for blues came from my grandpa. When I was little my grandpa would play various songs on his record player and he sit there in a trance. I looked at him curiously asking him “ grandpa why you look so sad and happy at peace at the same time” he told me “ Buy when you get older you’ll find out that life as a man gives you the blues, Wether it be a breakup or stressful day at work. Listening to the blues gives a man solace and peace, cause it’s the only joy a man can have with the time he has” here I am 35+ years later, I finally understand what he’s talking about thank you grandpa you’re the best, R.I.P Grandpa

I'm an "essential worker" that has been pushing 65-70 hours a week for the last few years. I recently discovered this channel. This music now always plays in the background and heals my weary spirit in ways I could never have comprehended. Justin is a true blues man and a gifted teacher. I learned my first blues lick in minutes off his instructional material last night. Others have said it. I'll repeat it. Justin is saving lives with this gift of his. Much love!❤

A great sound and visual experience through various US landscapes, there could be Justin listening to people ideas about life or anything they like, music of course, see some tradition crafting on wood, steel, leather.. classic mechanic, small farming, houses builders, maybe new pioneers.
