Soulful Blues Guitar Music to Chill To - “Feelin’ Good”

🎸 Elevate your guitar skills with exclusive guitar lessons & tips at JustinJohnsonGu... Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to master advanced techniques, I'll share with you everything I've learned in my guitar journey 🎸
"Feelin' Good" is one of those songs that nails that magical balance between sounding lonesome and low-down, but somehow makes you feel good... but then, I guess that's what blues music is all about. I love Nina Simone's version for her killer vocal performance, but also for the band arrangement. The recording of that track is so warm and beautiful. I just got this new Mad Professor "Old School 51 RT" amp, and when I plugged this old vintage Harmony hollow-body into it for the first time, it sounded so vintage, fat, and lush, this song just came pouring out.

[@peterweiss6140]

[@shibe5877]

This song transports you to a whole other world. A world with a glimmering obsidian sky illuminated by the soft blue light of the moon. The air is warm with a gentle breeze flowing over your face. You're sitting on a balcony overlooking a peaceful grassy field full of slumbering critters and creatures of all sizes. You're on a reclining chair with a coffee table lit by the golden flame of a candle that smells of vanilla. Adjacent to that is the aroma of a wood fire, its warmth and soft crackling soothing your ears and skin. Crickets chirp softly in the distance and a nearby owl emits an echoing hoot. You close your eyes and embrace the pure bliss of this world, letting it flow through your veins from your ears to the tips of your toes. *This* is peace.

[@HawkTheAmazingWolf]

Like coming out of the scorching sun into the shady grove, sitting on the rock by the stream, cool water running over your feet

[@robertmcdowell6936]

WHY DIDN'T I START TO PLAY WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD? Maybe I would have been able to sound like that. I wish a Genie would come into my life. One of those wishes would be able to play like Justin. Thank you Justin for your inspiring performance and sharing it with us.

[@74dartman13]

I was thinking of something similar. I started to play guitar at 30, after years of playing the drums. I played for a little while and started getting to sound somewhat decent. Then I was in a bad motorcycle accident and all but stopped playing. I'm 60 now, and wish I would've stuck with it after the accident. I've been practicing hard since before Christmas, and trying to get good. I just don't know if I have enough years left to get as good as this. Every time I watch Justin, he gets better than the last time. His playing is incredible and off the charts!👍😎🎸🎶

You may never be as good as Justin (maybe you will). Never too old to start :)

@@coledebeers8693 The "lock downs" are just to keep the sheep scared. The "illness" that's out there is nothing more than a flu. The numbers are there to keep you fooled and they are doing a good job of it. I've had a heart attack and triple bypass surgery and a stroke since this rap has been going on. One of the hospitals is supposedly full of covid patients. I saw none and NEVER wore a mask and caught absolutely nothing. The hospital that supposedly has the most covid19 cases was so nice to es ort me out of the hospital while I was having a stroke because I said covid19 is a farce. They said if I would have died in the parking lot I would have died of covid19. How's that for you.
