Johnson was raised in America's deep South, in a small Arkansas town in the Mississippi Delta. He began playing guitar at age 9, briefly taking lessons from a hard drinking oil field worker before deciding he could learn more on his own. Johnson recalls that his "real jumping off point" was a cassette he received as a teenager, which featured John McLaughlin Mahavishnu Orchestra Inner Mounting Flame on one side, and Leo Kottke's Greenhouse on the other. Says Johnson "I thought it was one person playing this stuff!"
