so happy for you man, congratulations. That shovel is the grooviest in the history of shovels. Wish me luck on the ammo box.

This isn't just a funny toy, it's an amazing sounding guitar. Congrats to the winner

I second that !!

Are you in Arizona?

It’s a guitar made out of found objects, not hardly a toy Bud.

[@billolmsted9773]

My 6 yr old grandson says to me every morning as we wait for the bus, "grampy play justin johnson, I want to watch him play his shovel!" Got him addicted to your playing like myself. Amazing talent you have, look forward to so much more from you

[@justinjohnsonlive]

Awesome! 🤘🎸🚌

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

That’s awesome when kids are into music ✌🏻❤️🎶

[@Heavywall70]

Shovelheads; not just for Harleys anymore! Man this is got a groove with tangible weight to it!

[@itsallaroundyou7085]

Gotta be the meanest shovel playing I ever did hear. Hats off to the lucky winner of that. 1in a million

[@Jarod1941]

I've been a blues fan for decades and have heard the line "He's so good he could play a shovel if you put strings on it" hundreds of times. When I found the wonderful world of Justin Johnson, I said to myself, "He's so good that he could play a shovel if you put..." Hey, wait a minute....DAMN! I swear Justin visited the crossroads and stole the devil's skills so he could create the music of the blues gods. I'm awestruck.

[@jenniferjames7063]

Glad to see the shovel guitar back on the channel!

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

Same here, one of the top favs!!

[@colbynugent5524]

Meeeee toooo

[@imududeplaynududedisguisedasa-]

I just ordered that signature slide for it. I love when he plays it on it's side!😍

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

Love the Shovel Guitar.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

Shows me I still have lots to learn with my cigar box style guitar.

[@greybush1976]

Here I am staring in amazement. Again. Every time I click on one of his videos. Mind blown. I know there's a million different ways to play the millions of blues songs out there, but this guy kills it. Every time.

[@teddanyluk4602]

what’s y’all think...another SRV..or reincarnation!!!!!! what a “trip” this guy is!!!!!💪💪💪👍😎❗️

[@zemlidrakona2915]

I knew if I scrolled down I'd find this.

[@daveh5635]

@@zemlidrakona2915 you are welcome! Enjoyed Justin’s hard work so it looks so easy!

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

If I could ever figure out how to play just this number like Justin does... my life would be complete. I love that funk of the slap ‘n slide melded with that mix of West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina he gets when he plucks those notes beautifully on the 10th and 12th fret markers 👏 👊🏻🤷🏻‍♂️

[@davida357]

You can really bury the competition with this instrument

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Great comment!

[@alleynkruk1568]

The only competition is SRV and unfortunately he can’t make it to the show! JJ rocks!!!

Damb I'm 65 yrs old a dedicated rocker of my era but that shovel just blew me away thank you Justin

[@tc3895]

Justin playing the Shovel Guitar is how I found him.Amazed and at Awe of his playing.It would be great to see him LIVE!

It’s sickening to see people thumbs down this video, thanks so much Justin, it’s greatly appreciated

[@karenmiller258]

Great hell. It's amazingly brilliant .

[@JTuaim]

Justin is an inspiration who will live long in people's memories.

[@sixxchk71]

..Poetry in motion, this is also known as a " track-spade" shovel...to us International Union Of Operating Engineers! ...- awesome creation into a guitar!/ thanks Justin! 😊😉🥃😎👍🎸

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

And i see a regular spade guitar hangin' on the wall!

[@tedfurlo2268]

Only a "Dirt Stiff" could know that!, Brother Ted

[@ELWOOD..]

JJ in the tool shed putting the finishing touch on some lucky persons prize. Awesome QC.

[@datbager420]

I would love to see Justin and Les Claypool together doing a Duo De Twang type thang. That would just be the cats pajamas.

[@reaper1874]

When you realize EVERTHING hanging on the wall is a guitar.

[@fullbeans983]

Got to have the eye candy on the walls to compliment that sweet tone.

[@markmiele9334]

I didn't see that until you pointed it out....

[@alleynkruk1568]

Many apologies for the late comment reaper! Am an Australian guitarist of 36 yrs and am still digesting the magnitude of this gentleman’s skill and prowess!! Not to mention his toys and connections! Oh to have a guided “wander” through his collection of magical oddities!!

[@ReadingtheBibleforever]

When you realize the wall is one

[@eugenetorkelson7859]

Dude can play anything!😎

[@Wrenchen-with-Darren]

Of all his guitars, this is my favorite. Even the reverb of the strings hitting the steel neck....part.👍

[@starjunkie2804]

OOOH! The bewitching sound of the Shovel Guitar...welcome back my old friend; you never sounded so grand to me as right here, right now. Dang, that sounds so sweet.

[@brylner]

Sounds bloody fokking great!

[@rlins8688]

Good morning Justin, Congrats to the winner👍😎. This is, for me, the roots sound of blues. But, with a distortion, one Machina of Rock'n'Roll. A beautiful instrument.❤

[@justinmerrill3659]

Congrats to the winner! Bummed it wasn’t me, but now that I’ve spent the last couple weeks thinking about the possibility of owning a 3 string shovel, I’m prolly just gonna have to go and buy myself one. Congratulations again on the 1M mark! So grateful for all that you give back to your fans.

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

I bought mine back in May of 2020. It is amazing and has had a very positive impact on my life. A true joy to own one. I hope by now you already know what that’s like. 😁

[@questioneverything6611]

Congratulations to the winner have fun jamming

[@codybess74]

Never ceases to amaze me bro. Kind of a slap in the face at times, "This dude can make a freakin shovel sound better than most can make a strat sound!" Almost a bit embarrassing, But I take it as a challenge to progress and improve. You educate and give constantly to all of us and I thank you for the immense amount of content you have contributed to this platform. Just dawned on me...KZbin is my alma mater, and you are my favorite professor! HaHa UCYT HaHa
