TERRY HAS PLAYED ON NATIONAL TV - FEATURED IN WORLD-WIDE MAGAZINES OPENED FOR NATIONAL ACTS - INDUCTED INTO THE NYS BLUES HALL OF FAME
This song is played on a guitar made from truck parts and the neck came from a prison dumpster. Two inmates got in a fight that involved a guitar that got broke in half that got thrown out after the fight.
I got a box of used Harley Motorcycle parts to put this guitar together. (The guitar was in Easy rider Magazine. Sept 2018) (Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top played one of these style guitars) A piece from the motor holds the pickups. 2 gears are the volume and tone control knobs. The clutch lever holds the strings. An air cleaner part holds the input jack. The sprocket is the body. It has a dual exhaust. Terry Mojo Johnson, creator of this guitar made from Harley Motorcycle parts, plays a song by ZZ TOP, La Grange
I created & play wild guitars, harmonica, saxophone, el. flute and sing to my own drums and bass tracks to give it a full band sound. These one-of-a-kind guitars have a sound all their own.
The guitars I've created were featured on National TV & Magazines that were made from things like a baseball bat, a shovel, motorcycle parts & more that sound amazing.
IT'S A SHOW YOU HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE.

After the producers of the Rachael Ray TV show seen a video of me playing this guitar that I made of one of her frying pans I was invited to play on her show.
I owned a 1967 Ford Mustang that got totaled, but before they towed it away, I took off the hubcaps, emblems, key's, floor mats, seat belts, etc. I few years later I used all those parts to make this guitar. On the back of the guitar, I have the NYS registration. (The state wants their money. lol). (The body is made from the Hubcap. The guitar strap is the seat belt. the emblems are on the guitar for decoration. Terry Mojo Johnson, creator and player of this guitar made from MUSTANG CAR PARTS playing the song MUSTANG SALLY.

I took a normal baseball bat and turned it into a 3-string guitar. The song, WE WILL ROCK YOU by Queen I redone in a swampy blues style.
I made this guitar from a Rachael Ray frying pan. The tone controls knobs are salt and pepper shaker tops, the back is a food serving tray. (This was recorded on a cell phone) I play & record the bass & drums into a looper then play them back live to give it a band sound. I love watching people react while I'm playing, people keep looking at my instruments while listening to the music in disbelief.

#1 - WHAT IS THE MUSIC/COMEDY INSTRUMENT SHOW?
For years I've made and played instruments that have given me great success from playing on the Rachael Ray TV show, featured in Guitar World and Guitar Player magazines, open for national acts. My music CD’s have been sold all over the world and used on TV shows.
Here's an example of the guitars I use in the show. FRYING PAN, BASEBALL BAT, BROOM, CANE, CAR PARTS & many more.. I know the instruments are crazy looking but the music is amazing.
I introduce my wild guitar creations one at a time with the hilarious back story of each. Then I play them in what’s called LIVE LOOPING layering their sound while mixing in percussion blows the audiences away.
The show is booked by the hour. After the show I invite everyone to come up for questions, take pictures & a meet and greet.

Name that tune & more) I sing and play my acoustic guitar through a small amp. For more information email at tjexpress59@yahoo.com

Mojo's story
This is Terry Mojo Johnson. I've been entertaining audiences from schools to national tv shows and everyplace in between. I caught the eye of the Rachael Ray TV show with a guitar I made from one of her frying pans that ended with me playing on her show. I've been making and playing many different instruments professionally and one thing for sure everybody from young to old likes to hear me play them and hear the stories of how and why. Each instrument has a story. I have many viral instrumental video's on my band's Facebook page The Swamp Drivers. Many of the instruments were made from reclaimed items that some people would have thrown out, but I took these items, built instruments and make music that people from around the world buy my CD's. I make the show fun and entertaining.
