[@raul_ac]

This guy plays 1 string and it makes it sound like if there were 4 instruments. Gives me chills every time

[@Donzig240B]

this man could probably play air guitar and the clouds would part in the heavens to send down rock and roll.

[@trajectoryunown]

Look at what this legend can do with only a small fraction of his power.

[@jpsholland]

As long as it has one or more strings on it, this man plays everything.

[@RobMacKendrick]

Dude's superhuman.

[@michaellorah9051]

It doesn't even need strings. All he needs to do is pick it up and strings just magically appear on what ever it is he's holding. It be dat dar voodoo magic I tells ya.

[@ckitesurfer]

He´s from another planet !!!

[@mariareznicka9346]

you know it only takes one player (string)

[@rectifier7578]

still never heard him sing while playing... lol

[@therasprince]

I get it now..I can start learning guitar..one string at a time

[@ericparrish1515]

Not as easy as it looks. I made one and couldn't play a damn thing.

[@TheRealGhostElvis1981]

😆

[@brendamitchell1014]

The Wizard of guitars always amazing music.

[@nathanheeren560]

I'm guessing he plugged the amp directly into the sun for power. That's probably why it sounds so cool.

[@MajidEsaid]

Good joke,,, 😂, anyway , this Amp has it's battery source inside... Ready for street performance...

[@dr.phelps]

Sounds so hot, you mean

[@Bildad1976]

Now, this guy really understands String Theory!

[@kilogram064]

That's a FACT!!! 😊😊😊

[@curtismarean6963]

Once in a great while, a person comes along that is amazingly talented. He is this person in our generation.

[@marjorieandrzejewski7996]

I simply love the sound emanating from this instrument.

[@artysta122]

I could listen to this for hours ... Right now I'm obsessively listening

[@xELITExKILLAx]

This sounds like something that belongs in a movie

[@wolfil8019]

I love everything you do with your marvelous instruments ...

[@harrykuheim6107]

There is no reason to go to Mars.... the Southwest desert is not far from it....

[@BEEBEE159]

Where do you think NASA gets their film footage from? lol

[@danielsprowl1998]

I swear you could give this man a rubber band and he would make a great wonderful sound from it. Love your labour of love bud. Keep on a strumin.

[@gumonthepants]

I am not even surprised at the synchronicity of encountering those Austrian fans - Justin puts out THAT kind of energetic vibration. He's a classic example of the Law of Attraction!

[@-jank-willson]

austrian...?

[@gumonthepants]

@@-jank-willson Lol, it's been so long even I don't remember what in the SAM HILL I was even talking about!😝

[@titusshropshire52]

You truly are the wizard!

[@JJ-jx2kd]

I used to think Diddly Bows were just a joke or toy , then i discovered this man and immediately changed my mind ! An old song goes , i got the music in me , and Justine sure proves that with everything he picks up to play ! Amazing talent !

[@davidgouin8420]

It's like you become part of what you have in your hands.

[@randyreed1478]

Out of all the rocks in the canyon, he chose that one because it had an electrical outlet.

[@garywallin5030]

they plugged into a current (currant) bush...sorry

[@ericparrish1515]

Sounds wicked airy

[@TheRealGhostElvis1981]

😂

[@justinneumanm1597]

You ain't ever heard of a battery before

[@americanbulldog2015]

Randy Reed...that's funny!😁

[@warplanner3258]

Jesus, Justin, you go from six to three..and now to one and kick more ass each time. Can hardly wait to see what you can do with NO strings attached! ~an ardent fan!

[@navajasrs2402]

Damnit Justin, I go back and forth from this video to my three bows and I can just not make it happen. You're the man.

[@standalowen]

This was just great on so many levels!!! There is a camera in the bottom of the Grand Canyon somewhere. During a week trip hiking in this beautiful place.

[@dawnmanser2969]

I could watch him all day. I'll take a glass of pure awesomeness with a side of badass please oh yah baby, he's got it!

[@RobertF-]

I don't know diddley about how to play guitar, but maybe I'll try to learn to play this.

[@gyorgyolah7649]

[@bwbark]

Justin, great story, video and always magic listening to you play. Love listening to you play in all these beautiful places. Keep them coming. Thanks

[@graydanerasmussen4071]

Blues aside, this has GOT to be rock music!! :D

[@coravisser727]

My goodness how brilliant is this fantastico.

[@charlespratt8663]

Justin could make a great sounding guitar out of anything. Hell , he could probably make one out of a shovel.

[@marcosgomes7681]

He is a magician

[@robertcornelius3514]

Love the music. Love those cool boots.

[@yevetteyork4456]

Who knew One string could sound so large and in charge. As always J.J you hit it out of the park:)

[@rikacoetzer8135]

That rock looks like and Indian chief's head pretty cool Nice one Justin!!

[@mariareznicka9346]

Im in one awe. Could dance to it all night long.

[@mariareznicka9346]

if he plays along with Estas Tonne, that would be something...

[@firefritter]

The story alone is worth a thumbs up and a comment. Great vid!!

[@sturmbok]

Feel sorry for the folks that had to lug up the batteries so this wonderful section could be given to the rest of us. Love the music from this guy.

[@ezyryder2722]

nice music on a nice place

[@MichaelScottBates]

Justin! I love your slide style man, you really have something unique! I'm a slide player myself and new to being a KZbinr. If you don't mind my asking, do you think that the instructional tutorial videos get more views than the performances? great work regardless!

[@suer6103]

awesome country to be playing awesome music in!

[@unused0011]

This video is one of the finer things in life.

[@robinemery]

Love the backdrop! Good morning JJ💜💜💜💜

[@OwenFromOhio]

Perfect timing Justin, I'm sitting here in Ohio building my first Diddley Bo... its like you're reading my mind!

[@josephminkin7663]

[@derzartebratenmaker1784]

At 0:50 : this was a NSA truck and they come to you because, your Sound is outta Earth.

[@1StinkyFinger]

I bet he could play it with no strings!

[@Omarateastwind]

That's some great sound you're getting from that DB....my playing sounds much different! More jangley, less awesome. What kind of pickup is that? And how do you make all that sound on one string???

[@dilligaf700]

totaly lush.

[@scottbibler3282]

Come to Utah brother Johnson

[@MrGREYMATTERS]

The Wizard abides.

[@daveevans1410]

This guy can play with half a string ......

[@sinceagesago5258]

this is the silliest way to make music

[@scottconger1266]

I just made one but it doesn't sound that good, lol, great job Justin.

[@unfixablegop]

Sounds more like an orchestra than a single string. :-)

[@ToTheNether]

Tool on peyote with one string, 10/10

[@aprilwhitaker8339]

My friend made me Diddley bow out of a spam can. Show me how to play it!

[@thewhopper2023]

What amplifier did you use justin johnson and how did you manage to play music without a car battery or did you use a car battery ?

[@supernatural9353]

most of these amps use aa batteries.

[@balancepoint71]

Looks more like Marble Canyon but ok. Very cool jam.

[@marcthacker4walls]

Nice! One string limits a person, or does it?!
