[@nickjohnstonmusic]

Thanks for having me at the booth, guys!

[@oysteinhaugen7055]

The schecter reminds me a lot of the s-type tom anderson guitars! is the neck "chocolate maple" / roasted maple?

[@august8218]

I believe it is a wenge neck and fretboard

[@redstripe41j]

Nick Johnston Man I like the beard but it's weird for me at first never having seen it before! Ha! No more baby face!

[@redstripe41j]

Btw incredible playing!

[@jozza177]

thanks for producing amazing music

[@ScoopzyDaizy]

It's incredible how he owns the song. So much improvization over what's already a fantastic song. He just adds stuff on top of it, tastefully, and still misses no notes whatsoever... Love this guy.

[@ej.salcedo]

He actually owns the song that's his composition

[@ScoopzyDaizy]

@@ej.salcedo You really think I didn’t know that?

[@FrannKavila]

Who wants to see Nick Johnston and Guthrie Govan together?!!

[@devinjarrett6114]

Frann Kavila nick johnston guthrie govan - Silver Tongued Devil. Bring some lotion and a rag

[@634983]

nick johnston and plini 😊

[@johnc7801]

Wouldn't that like being getting Clark Kent & Superman in the same room?? Both are fantastic!!

[@CwGuitar01]

John Overthinker watch videos of Guthrie improving over backing tracks or his waves video at g4 I believe. The guy is the best guitarist ever imo. He has feel and can play everything, his chops are second too none.

[@etraag]

I want to see Steven Wilson and Nick Johnston together now. Nicks phrasing and feeling for a song combined with Steven's songwriting will be awesome

[@travenator16]

Always nice to come back to this every once in a while

[@BloopShow]

Well, that was fucking ridiculous. Where have my socks gone?

[@b33byt3]

This is possibly the most moving electric guitar piece I've ever heard. Masterful. Gave me chills.

[@svogender]

I know it's different... But try listen to this piece also..!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIrMhWqrg5Kij5I 😊👍

[@sunnys3325]

For 6 min and 20 seconds the world around me shut down. The slight smile stayed on my face the whole time. Now THATS a captivating music and playing! N.J. is one of a kind.

[@colined]

This is one of the very few of these NAMM performances on youtube that I can actually sit through in its entirety. Very moving.

[@svogender]

Yeah... Here I am again ...!! ❤👍

[@anstahir8773]

This song should be played when world is ending.

[@mrc404]

The world is ending.

[@mizraimjimenez265]

Never in my life i have agreed with someone like i do right now. Lol

[@headlight31]

News flash....

[@PedalLe]

fortunately, the planet never dies, it is just the awareness of what is real in ones own mind making any one believe or know anything... thus the planet is always here but the conciousness is of a singular matter of perspective so that is to say perspective never dies but a body of a being does... So, yeah if the world were to end this would be a great song to be played... or nothing else matters....

[@Avatar7x7]

Dude is straight kill'n ! Just the right amount of tension on his melodic lines, flawless technique and speed and yet still maintains taste(He doesn't sound like he's doing exercises) well schooled but with a street players rawness and edge! Wow !

[@SuperCharleh]

Hahah that crazy legato and arpeggio bit with the open string slap at 4:42 makes me smile every time! Epic!

[@undefeatedmc]

This is my favorite live performance of his, I just can't stop listening. Anyone else in 2019?

[@stu73ke]

2023 mate!

[@garyleon7263]

2030 mate

[@simongarlick1636]

2024 crew checking in, I miss Nick's single coil bridge tone!

[@wakjob961]

Someone clicks on a YT video titled : NAMM 2017: Nick Johnston Live At The Dunlop Booth -Pt 1... and gives it a thumbs down. Damn, we live in a very confusing and chaotic universe.

[@MartinCliffe]

Fabulous. I don't listen to much instrumental guitar music these days, but I have all 4 of Nick's albums and they get plenty of playing. The man has it all, great tone, great chops, and great musicality.

[@alanlotra8148]

This guy make me go lurking for a strat....

[@extrememind100]

Same

[@onfire4000]

Ahaha same

Not a Fender, though.

[@HorizonDevices]

Awesome playing Nick, and we will have to send you a Precision Drive soon! Maybe I can trade you for some of that vibrato! ;D

[@nickjohnstonmusic]

Haha thanks!

[@greenplasticwateringcan]

Not really...until somebody like you mentions it for no reason

[@ElectricTurkey1]

relaaaaaax

[@valentino3191]

His phrasing is superb. Great player. Nothing against people like Joe Bonamassa or any of the Blues Rock guys, but they can't touch people like Nick. The skills are on a whole different level.

[@agctony123]

Pretty sure if both of them jammed, they would both do GREAT, in their styles... Be careful with Bonamassa, EXTREMELY versatile.

[@stu73ke]

I come back to this almost daily, one of the greatest guitar performances I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot 😅

[@BenOnuMuDiyorum]

It's a great pleasure to watch and listen to such artist. So obvious he is much more than a guitarist.

[@LintBisquick]

12 dislikes? Wow..I like this better than the fantastic studio version. The Messiah of the guitar.

[@musicartfull]

this video is the best Nick perform

[@DiegoLopez-nn1ht]

for the guys filming it and missing it all surely xD

[@CTROCK]

The dislike is from bunch of fuck head don’t know jack shit about guitar playing!

[@alexblake3818]

What a Masterpiece! In awe!

[@FancyUnderscore99]

Jesus, he has such a purely musical touch, and those runs are so clean

[@bsill1477]

One of my favorite guitar players. what a humble human being...

[@Arch_Stanton.]

5:53 Yngwie vibe Also, that Mesa sounds amazing. Much better than the Kemper @ Schecter booth

[@freedomsign2885]

Just watched Plini sitting in that same chair I listen to this song at least 19x a day since it came out and You are even improvising over it, this is a dream come true. Thank You, sir.

[@greekfreak1980]

Nick needs to do a collaboration with Andy Timmons,enough said.

[@Joescanzillo]

That Precision Drive...yasssss

[@maximumpainer16]

Man just look at him having so much fun while playing, now this is musicianship

[@sgtcaco]

That was crazy!! So much style and tone on tap, very inspiring to watch.

[@graysinclair6572]

Wow, what a splendid performance! Your chord selection and overall phrasing, combined with what “looks” and sounds like effortless playing, places you in the upper stratosphere of guitarists. What a gift you have. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@leo__mac]

Just incredible. 🤯

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

i met this guy already 3 times and witnessed him play and each time it felt like the most impressive thing ive ever seen... i dont think there is anyone in the world who perfected this style more than him, it's nothing short of majestic to see what he does!

[@chicken6111]

What a god damn master.

[@Gusty1958]

Es un Extraterrestre!. Un fuera de serie. No me canso de escucharlo. Gracias por regalarnos unos sonidos tan hermosos.

[@sonicsaviouryouwillnotgetm6678]

Dude, makes my eyes watery. Every. Single. Time

[@SuperCharleh]

4:35 - 4:43 ... Holy shit haha

[@raipramana843]

That was literally the best thing on guitar i’ve ever seen up to this moment.

[@godukie3311]

KZbin should just rename thumbs down to "Haters", cuz if you thumb down this video, you are a hater and you obviously are missing the entire point of being a musician. This guy is an undeniable incredible talent period

[@marinUtube]

Johnston is a remarkable guitar player

[@turboallen]

a remarkable human indeed

[@lucasbelloni]

This song is a masterpiece. Outstanding.

[@cradventures8092]

I feel like this is almost a guiding song on how to play with emotion and shred ...like you made it for us to learn

[@Alanoffer]

When he suddenly rips on it it’s amazing because it s not overdone

[@Eric-eq3jx]

I’m a proud owner of his pink schecter strat and holy shit it’s an amazing guitar, he’s been such a huge influence on me this past year and I’ve made way more progress from learning from him

[@PapaKelsExperience]

The lick at 6:02 isn't even decipherable to my brain. My brain just said, "it's too awesome to understand. Just smile and nod while backing away slowly."

[@jhonatancalloapaza5397]

this guy is really admirable. He sounds in a unique way. Thanks for share with us your music!!!

[@fredrikvrang532]

From unknown entity to being one of my fave players - in six minutes. WOW! :-P

[@MVos-md3rp]

The result of years of devotion to the craft. A thing of beauty!

[@Black_Cross738]

Great guitarist! Bravo Nick!!! Incredible guitar style!

That performance is outstanding! thanks for sharing

[@brendangilligan8701]

Incredible performance. Keep doing what you're doing Nick!

[@kraftwerk974]

The chord colours are super tasty. Wow !!

[@crunchyjoel]

Wow what a performance, thank you for this

[@PatrickArchibald]

Air Johnston ROCKS! Nice. Very nice. Had to watch it twice.

[@TruthSurge]

Little trouble with noise gate there? Seemed his notes cut off if his vol was a bit too low. He has some Brett Garsed going on and Malmsteen and Greg Howe. Great raw tone witch that overdrive kicked in. So metallic and clear with no fuzz.

[@CTROCK]

So bad ass playing! This dude is so unique and different from the other shred guitar player! Every licks, riffs and melody he playing in this song have so much soul and feeling! What is the name of this song he is playing?

[@nmol9733]

Remarkably human

[@AgEyal]

His technique is so unique. Simply amazing.

[@terrorgaming.6391]

I love you nick

[@Subhrocks1]

One of the most accomplished musicians (not only guitarists) of the present era!

[@roniemaids7954]

What a masterpiece!!!! Dude... all the emotions he puts in his playing are nuts!!! I haven't been so impressed by an instrumental composition since ages... That means something, I guess... And, for the guys recording... I don't know how you manage to not shake the camera. It would be mission Imposible for me XD

[@ARTUPIDA]

soundnya gurih kang....

[@renehaitjema7841]

Damn his tone has gotten sooooo much better now that he is using that little bit of extra gain. It makes him sound much more convincing in his solo's or melodies, amazing😍

[@FernandoGobbo]

OMG! You're incredible Nick! God Bless You.

[@MonkeyDolphin]

What a killer player!

[@tibord72]

Been listening to lots of guitar players for decades still do but Nick brought something unique in guitar world amazing style melody phrasing as well as technique but he’s music is pure and emotional as hell

[@bzdup]

That was fucking awesome

[@danielpaes7514]

Monstro! Um ar de originalidade e frescor no mundo da guitarra.

[@MrGarfunkelGuitar]

Hi Nick, It never fails to amaze me, how brilliant your chord-changes are. They cary your melodies so wells and gives me goosebumps - which doesn't happen very often. That TONE you got there, has to be one of the best start-tones I've ever heard. It's punchy, airy (is that a word?) and so emotional. Wow! Is it possible to get this set of pickups for a telecaster?

[@facel57]

Perfect version ! Thanks

[@RockShowsVynils]

this song is perfect. It doesnt need nothing more to me

[@MarkoMarcello]

This much passion......and skill...

[@lhzx]

Version 1 of this sig guitar with a thin neck. Rare to find nowadays.

Absolutely insane!!! Nick is no doubt one of the most brilliant guitar player with Bumblefoot,Govan etc nowdays.His music is amazing.

[@westonknight7474]

Really-really solid, good stuff here Mr. Johnston. Well done sir.

[@vidmohit4684]

Stellar tone and expression. Don't typically listen to this style but might start because your playing is fantastic! Came here from a shout-out from Jeff Loomis in an interview video and am not disappointed.. cheers from a fellow Canuck :)

[@FPontiDev]

Una auténtica pasada. Que maravillosa forma de tocar... Nick, you have a new fan!
