      Hi Justin, I've been a fan for sometime, your music helps me when I'm in a dark place ,your the light that I focus on to get me away, I'm terminally ill and it's caused extreme depression and anxiety severe night terrors and extreme ptsd. I'm not scything this for sympathy, saying it because you help me. I hope that I get to see you live ,before you help me make my final journey from this world to the light that awaits us all.

    It’s difficult to put into words how I feel when Justin plays one of his covers. He makes them so incredibly moving without the vocals and the noise of the other instruments. There’s something so powerful in stripping things down to their very core.

    Is it just me? Or, has anyone else noticed that with everything Justin plays he makes it his own interpretation and yet he does it with a true respect for what the original composer originally has done.
    He did this song with a compelling sensitivity....He COULD have been a lot more flashy, but he let the song have its own life

    I bet Justin was born with his ears tuned to E*A*D*G*B*E and when he learned to tie his shoes, he had nylon guitar strings laced up in his shoes!
    I truly believe that every soul is born with one special ability, whether it be big or small. And, it's up to each one of us to figure out what that special thing is .. and then decide If we are going to live our lives using our special talent, skill or gift in ways that the world can see and enjoy.
    Just like Justin does for us!!

Aber diese unglaubliche Geschmeidigkeit gepaart mit dem Timing bringt ein so unglaublich warmes Gefühl rüber das ich erstmal die Heizung runter gedreht habe ;-) Es ist so berührend schön, aber gleichzeitig kommt die Einsicht das ich wohl nie so auf der Gitarre zaubern kann wie dieser Künstler. Was bleibt ist einfach zuhören und genießen. Lieben Gruß, ein ganz großer Fan!
