10 Acoustic Guitar Cover Songs Every Guitarist Should Learn • TABS Included!

[@dennismcarthur999]

I'm a metal head but I love watching you play, my 6 month old grand daughter loves when I put your music on, calms the grumpy baby right down

[@mylord4321]

The man HAS COMMAND OF HIS TALENT. SLOW GROVE With everything PERFECT. CAN YOU SING? ROCK A BILLY ROCK N ROLL YOU GOT IT ALL.

[@dennisquigley8800]

Justin, 71 year old retired cop here, and a fairly stoic individual; your beautiful playing brings tears to my eyes, no blubbering mind you, but still. -Thanks

[@DavidHayes17A]

His arrangement of Don’t let me down is breathtakingly beautiful. A great tribute to a classic

[@thomasstengel7356]

Agree. On the flip side of that, I didn't like the Tears in Heaven arrangement nearly as much as the original.

[@SlimFingerSPb]

This is what I REALLY wanted! Thank you, KZbin!

[@dal65]

I am so glad this guy is here as a legend in my generation. Bravo brother Bravo

[@avos80]

You just made our Saturday morning so smooth, my girlfriend and I enjoyed your beautiful melodies. You inspire me a lot to get better on the guitar, but at the same time I feel demotivated because I am far not that good, but I will keep playing and practising to make progress every day. Thanx Justin ✌️

[@remmychola81]

Its like hearing something play just for you. Dude just adds that "shiham"

[@ColeAviation]

Justin I just saw your channel for the first time the other and brother I’m just BLOWN AWAY at how talented you are and how great your studio is. Thanks for all you do sharing your love of music with us. 👊🏼😁🤙🏼

[@returntonature8773]

Makes it look so easy, doesn't he?

[@metalpianomusic5635]

Right?!?! I love this guys channel

[@robinemery]

He is awesome❤️❤️JJ❤️❤️

[@lb4941]

I find it hard to believe you just found his channel if he’s your brother. How could you not have known he had this channel.

[@rexhavens4931]

Real dedication to the instrument !

[@utterdark]

On my way to learn "Hurt". Thank you Justin

[@mikewallet4674]

Justin and guitar is whole thing

[@travisculbreth397]

even if you can't play the songs well, it is great listening to Justin.

[@michaelbishop3701]

Don't normally comment on content creators unless there is something special there. Dude, all I can say is Wow. Wish I could play that well. I pick up my 2020 Les Paul Classic a couple times a month. Love the way it plays. Love the way it smells. Must be the nitrocellulose. Just wish I had the memory. I'm 66, so that's a thing. Still nice to pick it up and play things I do remember and fantasize about playing on stage. The stuff dreams are made of. Have to live my life through the accomplishments of others. The good part is that I can learn stuff from guys like you on the internet. Even if I don't remember it two weeks from now. I can always go back and learn it again. Gives me something to do. Amazing talent. Thanks for sharing.

[@ramessesvivivi]

What a gift! Thank you so much!

[@hankdahlquist8670]

As an avid but novice 50 year guitar player I play all of these songs but with nowhere the finesse that I wish I had. My fingers seem to be half the length I need to accomplish what you do. But thanks for the unparalleled inspiration you provide. At 72, maybe in my next lifetime all of this will be in fingers.

[@lennieblue]

What a great end of year gift you gave us. A great way to spend 15 minutes, listening to you. Thankee, thankee!😊

[@afunnymemez]

I really like your covers and learn many things from them and when you givin tabs in video its like christmas present for me

[@samstamos427]

Thank you and Happy New Year..!

[@damianwalck9068]

JJ is a guitar player's dream goal. So diverse and smooth. Everything flows just like it should. I love when he's playing a Martin and especially the SC13 model. I was on the design team that created the newest neck joint on the market. So damn proud of us!

[@speed3ag]

no no no Tommy is a guitar players dream goal. But Justin is definitely waaaaaaay up there :D

[@damianwalck9068]

@@speed3ag well, yeah, that's true also! LOL

[@oriongameplays8509]

"Everthing flows just how it should" the same thing was said about the great Ray Charles back in the day! JJ needs to be on tv!

[@DFWJon]

@@speed3ag Tommy? Could you elaborate, please? I’m drawing a complete blank!!! My apologies and thanks in advance.

[@man.anne_]

@@DFWJon That would probably be Tommy Emmanuel. Arguably one of the best acoustic guitarists so far, and a huge inspiration for me

[@mccloysong]

"The Touch"… you got it

[@mathewfuher1509]

Justin!!!!! Not sure if you read this but wanted to thank you for giving me a pathway to picking. I watched one of your videos a few years ago and it inspired me to keep trying. Love you brother!

[@eugenebartus1018]

I just got done watching Tears in Heaven Justin I don't know how you figured all these things out but God surely blessed you could listen to you play all day my friend anybody can make all kinds of sounds with electric guitars and toys can bake six wires and on piece of wood and turn it into something that beautiful sounding that takes Talent

[@celticfury7328]

Each song is a bonafide classic, each arrangement a beautifully crafted work of art in their own right! Thanks for all the sweet and mournful musical tales you shared with us, Justin... looking forward to even more in the new year. Hope it's a happy one for you and yours! ❤️

[@johnrhyne6015]

For sure Celtic Fury we’re lucky 🍀 to have him !

[@randypowell3374]

Once again, awesome stuff. I learn something new every time I watch you.

[@Boyd1875]

Thank you Justin. This is one of my favorite videos.

[@Rainmaker65]

Loved each and everyone of those songs. I remember each one of those songs in their day... lots of great memories.

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

No truer notes have been expressed, since your playing captivates.

[@amywilson5953]

I have shared your music with. Some of my mother's ole. Playing buds, the ones that are still alive... wonderful response. Thankyou, it's no cc e to see them smiling and playing again.

Well Merry Christmas to me - a fingerstyle guitarist who doesn't sing (solo) but who reads music/rhythms: I really appreciate the scholarly TABS, your tunings, & expert renditions!

[@Perspectemony]

This a very tasteful and hearty selection of fingerstyle tunes. Thanks for the kareoke style tab help!

What a Soulful rendition of some of the greatest songs on the planet and not to mention your skillful contribution. Thanks for being so awesome and masterfully skilled at such a beautiful instrument. Acoustic Guitar, nothing on this earth sounds so natural and so crisp to the ear. Thank you. 🙏

[@joeshmoe7967]

I got my first guitar in 1978....is 2022 the year I really learn to play?? I do play a lot and I am a competent strummer of nearly 200 songs. I play a ton to learn new songs, but I never spend time becoming a better player. I watch you videos and think to myself, if I put the time in I could really up my game. I should pick 1 of these 10 and commit to it. It will probably be 'Lean on Me'. Happy New Year Justin, hope 2022 brings you happiness and good fortune. - Cheers

[@ukestudio3002]

Wow .. how generous to give us these wonderful arrangements . Thanks

I think if most of the writers of these songs heard your interpretation they would be modest in their efforts, you have a mastery on this instrument that goes beyond❤

[@glenschmidt1892]

In Today's music world with everything coming out of a can "The Wizard" has a renowned sound and has not become contaminated by today's music industry

[@jessebianchi2631]

I like hearing the sounds of fingers moving on strings. it's the "human touch" that's bleached out of overproduced and sterile popular music.

Justin understands the most important element of being a musician. The HAT! For guitarists and bass guitarists it’s an absolute essential piece of gear. For drummers the most important thing is a place to sleep. Most are homeless.
