In ten seconds I went from guitar-player to guitar-owner....

Been playing guitar since 1973. Everyday and night. I can't even hope to play this well. I don't envy. Play on young prodigy.

I have to revisit this video from time-to-time... lifts my soul...

Not just a great performance, not just technically excellent, but probably most strikingly, this is truly original. Blues leans on the same licks rearranged differently. As much as I love the blues - all kinds of blues, this was different in a very important way: it was not predictable. It was fresh. Thank you for bringing something new to the blues.

The combination of music dept. at Butler and your hard work have really made you into a fantastic musician. This piece really shows the maturity you've developed. Wonderful son!

When I saw the title of this song I got my guitar and wanted to see if I might play along. About 10 seconds into the video I put my guitar back into the case from which it came.

"Sort Of" my ass, your playing on this one has me wondering if you met a certain someone down at the crossroads.

“The blues isn’t a genre, it’s a feeling. It’s easy to play the blues, but it’s hard to feel it.”

Here in Uruguay, there is a very used phrase, which is something like: "Éste tipo entendió todo." And it translates something like: "This guy understood everything." We use it when we mean that person knows what he does. He really knows what he's doing. I've heard this a hundred times. Really. And it is tremendous. Thanks Josh!

There are guitar players, and then there are guitarists! Well done. Truly gifted.

The Devil called, he says you can keep your soul :)

Legend has it, the devil sold his soul to get guitar lessons from this guy.

What's astonishing is not just the technical perfection but the musical intelligence. In every sense, it is a performance of startling wonder. It leaves you dazed and dazzled.

I now at 76 years old have two awesome guitar faves, Martin Taylor and Josh Turner. Both very different souls but their music has that really pure acoustic finger style genius that is so very very rare. Josh your music is bringing so much pleasure to a grey world, be proud, and so many people are waiting for a purchasable download of your 60s cover versions. Smile, you are awesome! ❤

612 people are apparently idiots! How could anyone "dislike" this? You're talented beyond your years. Incredible expression and tone.

If this is sort-of the blues, I've been playing the maracas for years

Superb Josh. Thanks for sharing your talents. Why in the world anyone would thumbs down this is a mystery. Stick up butts or something. Great job

This guy plays like I wish I could, and I have been playin a long time!!! What talent, and his song choices across the board resonate with my inner open chord! Hats off to you, young man. Keep the flame of soulful acoustic artistry and meaningful lyrics alive for the next generation!

"KIng Kong Goes to Tallahassee, goes a little somethin' like this..." nailed it :). thanks for sharing.

Been three years since I made my first comment on this performance. It is still one of THE Best acoustic solo blues performances out there. You are truly a fine musician!

Absolutely excellent.

I have listened to this at least 20 times. this is fantastic. Love your tone.

I've listened to this a few times, over years. I just listened again. Gorgeous. ! just gorgeous

I don't know if this young man ever has time to read the comments, but i'm an old guy, and not a day goes by that I dont listen to everything I can that's posted on this channel. Such Talent. Thanks Josh et al.

Beautiful.

Wonderful ... it is not the player, not the guitar, not the fingers sliding across the instrument.... it is the soul he offers to share with those, that can pick it up. Brilliant .....

have to come back to this every so often..Big fan !

Fantastic playing. What a pleasure it has to be to achieve this level of skills and taste ..... words are powerless to sound it out.

You just keep blowing my mind . Fantastic . Thank you.

Holy Moley!!!! Thanks for all the great music! Peace

I could just listen to this over and over. You are an amazing musician!

Your playing style is so ominous and smooth. I love every single thing you've ever put out, and if you ever come to the east coast for a show, you can be sure I'll be there

I'm feeling the hell out of this, very nice

So beautiful. As always, remarkable musicianship. Very soulful and eloquent.

I can’t get enough of that, probably watched it a dozen times.

As awesome as it could be - fantastic playing !!!

Amazing...great song, lovely sound. Love it!

I had a smile on my face from start to finish, absolutely wonderful playing.

Man, you play so clean. This is a joy to listen to!

Oh my...I love this...pure magic!!!!

I just found this,now I can't stop listening.Late for work but keep searching for more.Talent,has that something!!!

Thanks for posting this. It's very enjoyable.

This is a kaleidoscope of sound man! Absolutely loved it

Perfection Thank you for the perfect piece of music

Just the most beautiful blues. Both the tone and the phrasing are outstanding. My god, just listening to this makes me breathless. Thank you.

I really am impressed with love of music and for the large range of genre that you seem to master with relative ease. You are a gifted young man. If you ever come to Sydney Australia to perform, I'll be there.

Just wonderfully played ! Thank you 😊

So so great -thank you.

This young man is truly extraordinary. Such a gift.

I watch this so often, this is just such a cool and vibey song

I love this. So excellent. Moved my soul! Nice to see youngsters taking up roots music. If they do that, they can play anything.

This is truly spectacular

The Martin says, Josh, I'm so glad to have a friend like you who brings out the best in me.

This is among my favorite Blues videos. You did good Josh.

Loved it. I've never thought to try blues in D, thanks for the inspiration.

Some of the finest blues I’ve heard!!! 💙💙💙

A master of his instrument to be sure. Well done young man!

Wow, Josh, this is fantastic! Your phrasing and musical expression when you play is incredible. I am in awe...

That's amazing! Beautiful music.

This is way beyond just talent. This is genius \ virtuoso class!

Your mastery of the guitar is simply amazing. I just hope you get an amazing song writer and together produce a Grammy winning album some day.

I listen to this master piece only once in a while so that it keeps me amazed every time. You are a genius. thank you for sharing

So talented, a gift, and he shares it with us!

Absolute genius plus!

Really like the percussive way to play the low strings, keep bluesing Josh! superb!

At last, pure, golden blues! Thank you and I want more.

Simply magical Josh... thanks for this piece - love it :)

Ogni tanto riguardo e risento questo pezzo.E' sempre un incredibile piacere.Bravissimo!! Davvero bravissimo!!

I remember stumbling upon this video on late 2018, and here I am listening to Josh and Carson practically every single day since then. I've never been more thankful to the algorithm for introducing me to such blissful musicians.

wow ! great to see a young guitarist loving the blues so much, his timing is mesmerising!

Great combo, such talent and diverse taste in music!

I saw your performance in Ottawa this past weekend. You are truly talented. I immediately went home and hunted you down on You Tube. I am extremely impressed with your talents on all instruments.

I never get tired of this. Big thumbs up from me, as always!

That's the second time i watch it, since weeks.... And i really love it 'cause it's relaxing and fairly joyfull for a blues. Many thanks and cheers from France.

So incredible.

Man, you make that Martin talk. And what a story it has to tell.

What is actually crazy about this is if you watch this young man enough, he continues to improve where there seems to be no room for improvement. Really enjoy the ones with Larkin's sweet voice accompanying.

That was outstanding, thanks for posting.

Absolutely beautiful

Hey Josh, as much as I enjoy your ensemble numbers (they're fun), this is just breathtakingly amazing. A fair number of guitarists can play this song. I've not seen or heard anyone play it so effortlessly and with such feeling. What a wonderful thing it must be to be so talented at something you love.

Josh seems to effortlessly hit each note with the characteristics that tell you how much he puts into his craft. Really dig when he teams up with Larkin. Gifted kids cheer me up!

Such beautiful playing. Thanks for sharing. Blues on!!!! Rock on!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Dude, fantastic! Get into session work like right now. You're seriously good.

Josh is a master of the strings. having watched him 1000's of times on bass/ acoustic and electric i am always overly impressed by his love for what he is playing... eagles, croce, steelers/cash/ etc this one is especially grandiose. i have played for over 38 yrs and open d is my fav. you inspire me and the greatest gift you can give to anyone is to inspire them, thank you josh.

You catch the spirit and feeling of blues music and blues guitar...old soul ,

Is there anything that Josh cannot play without absolute complete mastery? Wonderful and fantastic, Josh. Thank you.

What no one has spotted is that this guy is a robot. No human can play as good as this!!!

never cared much for blues...till now... fantastic!!!

Thank you Josh, great playin'! This is a great tune. Had a lot of fun learning it and playin' it myself now.

Awesome! The last couple seconds had me rolling! Looking at your guitar like "damn, did that just come outta this thing?"

Made me sad and happy at the same time. Brilliant playing. Thank you

Josh I don't even know you and I am proud of your accomplishments as a musician. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you.

The most beautiful blues I've ever heard. Bravo 👏👏🙌

Because of you I'm working on this one daily since last month, and hopefully before christmas.... There are a lot of detalis in this one you've done perfectly. You are such a inspiration young man! Thank you!

Man, so tasteful. God job!

Josh, greetings from neighboring Kentucky. From a guy who has played the piano by ear ever since I can remember, I can certainly understand and appreciate your brilliance. I love a wide range of music styles and genres, and on top of you mastering the guitar and other stringed instruments, much of your appeal to me at least, among other things, is your obvious love of anything from classical, to bluegrass, to the blues, and all others! You can smoothly trade one for another without missing a proverbial beat. Your guitars and equipment are all fantastic, and I love seeing you and your friends collaborate to make some fabulous arrangements, all the while having great fun doing it. You have caused me on numerous occasions to stay up way too late watching, listening, and enjoying, but that loss of sleep has always been well worth it. All the best success to you and your companions (they are ALL great too!)--I hope this can be a springboard to a wonderful career in music and rewards beyond imagination. Thanks for sharing your devine gift. Don't let anything stop you! Pat

Love your videos. You are incredible!! This is so cool!! Fabulous guitar!! I'll stop gushing now!

Beautiful blues music love it!

Leah Turner - The love shown this young man in his formative years is so evident in his playing styles. Thank you, to your and your husband, for bringing this talent to life. And for providing him with the drive and desire to be the musician he has, and will, become. He is talented beyond belief. I think if he would've been introduced to Chet Atkins, he would've been immediately titled CGP ... Certified Guitar Player ... on the spot. He is awesome!
