This dude KILLED IT in Ottawa last night !!!! I'm an instant fan. Just love this band!

[@PrantikNath]

playing guitar for 10 years. i learnt something new today as well. unique technique.

[@oddacorn]

This is such a great podcast, and yet this was the first episode where I thought of making mp3s of the jam sessions for repeated listening. Jared has such great emotion in his playing - I feel like I can learn a ton from analyzing his techniques. Jude’s solos were also incredible. Thanks, gentlemen!

[@Tiger-ch7fn]

Sounds like young Zakk Wilde, without picks. Awsome!!!!

[@Rouwiinator]

thought so too. Zakk definately has some similar chickin pickin sometimes except zakk does it with hybrid picking from what i know. I really dig the p90s choice.

[@domg9186]

He sounds like Jared James Nichols 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@michaelray5023]

Dom G he said that because he looks like Zakk holding a Les Paul, but I agree with you. Jared is unique.

[@Olegstuff21986]

I think he's much better than Zakk Wylde.

[@michaelray5023]

@@Olegstuff21986 Zakk has his own style and he plays piano, but I’m not saying who is better either. Jared plays a lot of blues and southern rock. They don’t compare, because Zakk is mostly Heavy Metal.

Dude your philosophy of the electric guitar is the truth!!! Can not wait to see you guys play in Houston Texas 🤘

[@theseloudmachines6737]

The guy wants to ask a question, Jared just wants to jam.

[@sebastianpereira1517]

Jared plays just like a beast with steel fingers. Absolutely unreachable for standard human

[@philoumars3168]

I am used playing without a pick because I loose them all the time. Than I have develop my way of playing like this. And I really like.

[@ratnadeepkamble619]

thank u so much

[@brianwarner308]

Man, this guy is a dead ringer for the actor, TJ Miller, the dude that in all those Judd Apatow movies, he looks like him, and his voice sounds exactly like his!!!!

[@1040ecapja]

Someone get him a '56 Les Paul Junior!

[@werewolfjake1066]

This guy is bad-ass.

[@420Gold]

It’s crazy to my how virtually all metal/rock players mostly use picks. I love playing with my fingers, way more than a pick.

[@moosicmonkee3592]

God this is cool.

[@jwstout007]

JJ looks like if T J Miller didn’t make the emoji movie ;) This guy seriously rocks though, I hope to one day be half as decent as he is with fingerpicking!

[@derpherp8567]

I was hearing flavors of liquid tension experiment

I seen jared open for john 5....after jjn played i watched 1 song of john 5 and went home!!! Jared Nicols fuckin destroyed that stage!!!! After seeing him play i didnt need to see john 5 lol....taking nothing away from john. Jjn is the Truth!!!

[@magellan333]

not using pick definitely make you sound that you really mean what you play

[@aaronlarsen7447]

I play with my fingers, but simple chucking alwayys sound like crap, whenn i use the thumb. The attck is not criisp, the bass flabby

[@shayh.3556]

Keep at it man

[@mikmadpro]

Welcome to country pickin’, y’all…

[@ez0rz]

The excessive use of "like" made it kind of hard to watch. Really cool player tho!

[@chrislute1211]

[@chrislute1211]

Jude gold is a killer, hearing him ask "how" .. jude plays the shit out the guitar...

[@rambleon2011]
