Justin Johnson and His Steel Guitar

10/24/2018 8:21 PM

This is the sort of thing that makes just about everyone smile:

You’re going to watch a 3 min YouTube of a guy playing a guitar he made out of a shovel, and it’s AWESOME!

Wow, is this dude talented or what!

I’m not really a music guy - got me a tin ear - but I’m gonna listen to some of his work.

The interest is also driven by the (more or less) repurpose of non-musical elements into pieces that can produce these rhythms.

Creativity strike and yes he's rocking it. Who would have thought that a shovel can be a musical instrument?

Yeah, he’s just fun to listen to.

I’m going to look for a video of somebody playing a parts box harmonica. That ought to be good!

We owe a lot to Les Paul, the musician who helped to perfect the pickups that made solid body guitars, and even shovels, into musical instruments.

Without those humbuckers, that shovel would have never been turned into a musical instrument.
