[@HC_GUITAR]

Nick is one of the most original sounding guitar player i have heard in 30 years. His music is so harmonically rich and he never overplays.

[@abcrx32j]

He's one of the few newer guitarists eho understand that technique, dynamics and theory can be implemented in the same style instead of going for just one of them. I would consider Plini another example of that.

[@JohnSunda]

in 30 years ? go guthrie govan lool

[@zynosgd9982]

He reminds me of Guthrie Govan but with a more extensive discography. They both have mastered their instrument in such a way and their legato is just... *chefs kiss*

[@chanhtrungle1188]

he is one of a few guitarists tend to choose the best notes to play instead of nonsense fast runs. What a master!

[@weddingwiththewhitedove]

Ontario. Okey. Ive also not afforded the game, like, even. An amp. Also started at around 14. The feelin is mutual that the instrument is what makes the playing lovable. Im not into 7 strings. YOU?

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

I cannot believe how dynamic and soulful this guy can play! 😱 Speed in just the right spots! Him and Chris buck both play with such emotion and dynamics! I found myself another other worldy player. Cannot say enough good things about this guy's playing!🤘

Thks a lot, man!

[@dafxtone]

Cool, it permit to drop the fucking blah blah !

[@marcossilva-mm2wu]

O sr é o melhor!

[@armadillopillo9888]

Thank you man.

[@ransombaggins9301]

I just realized. Remarkably Human is today’s Cliffs Of Dover for me. So much talent baked into a musically intricate, technically brilliant piece that breaths emotion and ultimately joy. An undeniable modern classic.

[@willchaney8931]

He could easily blow us all away with rehearsed licks but I love that he goes for fresh takes every live performance

[@davebander9730]

I am a drummer. But if I was a guitarist, I would like to play like Nick. Outstanding artist.

[@USMCSDI]

I am a drummer too... but I could NOT agree more

[@sumitpatil4229]

Why Nick?

[@skeletalwreck]

Funnily enough, I am a guitarist and I adore his playing - but generally all my favourite musicians are drummers lol

[@iscarvalho]

I'm a drummer, and I actually bought a guitar cause of his playing, it really inspired me

[@valebliz]

@@USMCSDI why?

[@Dylanm94]

Nick Johnston is such a legend. He got Schecter to make a strat for him that he now plays through Mesa Boogies.

[@aknkavukoglu1091]

that is the reason why his tone is out of this world.

[@FoxtrotOneZero]

Just when I thought the studio version of Remarkably Human couldn’t get better, I found this. 🤯

[@trailrunner919]

Nick is so original and so ridiculously talented at everything guitar...amazing clinic!!!

[@karemare6426]

So much feel, touch and control, I've been playing and listening to guitar my whole life, yet I rarely see this kind of talent and creative genius. Be grateful that we're blessed with this musician.

[@ParagonGarage]

I just came across Nicks music about 6 months ago and i absolutely can’t get enough of it, such a great musician and guy so grounded

[@ragingchimera8021]

24:30 exactly right! Technicality is the pursuit of the novice guitarist, perfect note choice over chords becomes the pursuit of the journeyman guitarist.

[@BrianDonnelly68]

I tell my students to pursue the beauty they want to create, the technique will follow that.

[@chrisking6695]

All skills are perishable. Do you think pros never work on technique? Novices have to focus on technique over their musicality. Without having the ability to play you cannot translate what you feel into notes.

[@stratdave1]

Today is my lucky day! I have stumbled upon this fabulous guitar player, Nick Johnston. Sometimes KZbin can be a blessing. Wonderful playing! I now miss my old Schecter Guitar. Keep Jammin! Enjoy Life!

[@spyrosv7157]

Nick Is charismatic talented and seems like a very great guy. Thank you for your contribution to the music world man.

[@DanielVerberne]

Nick talking about his process of learning some of the fundamentals, it's great to hear. I still remember my joy at discovering I could play exotic-sounding stuff by playing a Phyrgian Dominant mode over a drone E or something and using octave chords to that effect - it was liberating, exciting. My musical knowledge was severely cut short compared to what I could have done, but I admire those like Nick who have taken it much further.

[@d.sandell2555]

Sitting in my favorite chair drinking Crown Royal on the Rocks listening to Nick Johnston ...thank you Canada More than makes up for Justin Bieber. Seriously though I'm a player and I very much savor the discovery of true musician's.. thank you Nick!

[@keeperofthereign]

What a talend! A guitarist who makes music instead of playing guitar!

[@jaimel2037]

Just listening to wides eyes in the dark in car today, man what a leap from his first couple records..and as a keen eared gent in the room mentioned.Nick focus on strong melodic compositions with romantic feels. So refreshing and I’ll be listening to this on repeat for a few weeks!👌

[@krookiemonster2673]

I like how these great players are so easy to talk to and not all big headed like most the 80s shredders seemed to be. I mean dont get me wrong every generation has its cool dudes and assholes.

[@Nefrioble]

listening him for the first time and he is one of the best guitarists i ever seen

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

Yeah I agree 100%! His dynamics and feel are off the charts!Incredible player! Not to take anything away from how great Nick johnson plays but since you like his style also check out "Chris Buck" of Black Cardinal! Like Nick he plays with such a feel and dynamics. The two of them are really gifted players.

[@Nefrioble]

@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 omg, i watched. plays with a great yamaha guitar and full of passion! and his technique is awesome. :) thanks.

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

@@Nefrioble Glad to hear you checked him out! 👍 Him and NIck are my two favorite players at this time.

[@Nefrioble]

@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 hi again! today, i realized I've heard Chris Buck before! i was listen the "Reverb on Everything" from the KZbin channel of him 2 years ago and i see this video on my KZbin home page today again. and i remembered him! He is a great, great, great guitarist!

[@magnanamus8659]

KZbin recommendations turned me into Nick, from all the Distant Dream albums I listen to! Dudes freaking amaze balls.......

[@antoniosaluena]

Brutally beautiful! 100 % control! And that Strat tone...

[@EVEROSFP1]

He plays backbeat, he phrases as long as it's good for the song, His technique is often out of the box, his fast passages are full of taste, he combines "old "school with new. And the compositions are pretty cool. A great artist. His story about being frightened when you play in front of people is very on point.., Glad he shared it. His nervousness in the beginning of the seminar covered with a little pack of snack food... :)

[@kennethlinton4432]

Nick is a monster. Guitar and Piano. A delight to listen to, both interview and music.

[@devinaxtman6171]

Nick Johnston...I like that Zappa meets Govan face.

[@MrKaynew10]

Joe s meets David gilmore

[@newmusicplus]

I have great respect for the fact that he has the tools but doesn't feel the need to use it all the time.

[@bukeksiansu2112]

His sound, technique, attitude and style beyond the other young guitarist..Remarkably guitarist ever.

[@DanGizzi]

The funniest thing, a couple hours ago I watched a video of Nick doing a demo of one of his signature guitars for Sweetwater. It was a fresh guitar straight out of the box and it still had a whammy on it. He was like "oh I haven't played a guitar with a whammy on it in years." Let me tell you, this man had so much fun with that whammy bar for that 2 minutes demo lmao.

[@Guitar-Geek]

I've click on like before I watch live because I 've already liked this video even if I didn't watch it, cause it's Nick Johnston.

[@hibernative]

For some reason, I really want to see Nick in techwear. Edit: Just watched all of this. This is what I aspire to be; loving the guitar and being able to create the harmonies in my head. And Bernard Hermann is a movie music favorite too, since watching Jason and the Argonauts as a kid.

[@abdulachik]

what a fantastic player guitars and sound from the amps! i love it all!

[@marty-b3453]

Thanks Nick for such an insightful and informative look into your techniques and tonal repertoire.Truely innovative and inspiring for all your appreciative listeners,please come to England at some point!🇬🇧🎸🎶👌

[@DustinTavo]

I can’t believe how much I love that blackhead stock

[@josivan_souz]

Sem duvida um dos guitarrista da atualidade que tem mais feeling!!!!

[@brentonkelly3780]

....the part of the solo at the 8 minute mark....wow, totally wow! Thanks

[@razorshark4]

This man completely shaped 2019 for me.

[@hollywoodactress]

Great clinic and thanks for sharing. Funny and great guy with down to earth good advice. What is bad though is I only just discovered Nick Johnston recently. Terrible I know, as where have I been 😱

[@annajihaitham8052]

you became my favorite I want your guitar to be my first elec guitar peace nick

[@Viper_75th_RR]

This is great. Great phrasing and tone.

[@GeneSchmidt]

Very cool. Always loved Nick's playing. Personality to match, now :). LOTS OF SUPER COOL ADVICE, TOO!

[@SynthesisMusic]

Really nice to hear two songs from his latest amazing album!

[@michaelcard9382]

Great player but what a sincere and great guy!

[@akshattkakar3672]

Fantastic tone

[@rcdixon76]

This is how I feel when I first found Joe Satriani many years ago.

[@jimizeppelin420]

Being a guitar player, raised in New Jersey and having so much respect for Nick's music and style, this is pure inspiration! Easily one of the most melodic, soulful and inspiring players this generation has ever seen.. Thank you so much for this Nick and Beau Monde Guitars!

[@GeneSchmidt]

So epic. Enjoyed every second of this.

[@mattabbott4682]

dI dont believe it, a shredder that doesnt have to shred all the time, this guy has so much feel and taste. I feel like an idiot, who is this guy Ive found a new guitarist to dive into.

[@chaseheatwole2213]

Probably the best guitar tone ive ever heard

[@aestheticwolf7769]

Opeth with a nick collaboration would be so incredible!

[@USMCSDI]

THIS GUY IS AMAZING

[@alwatts9713]

New to listening to ya, Nick. I love the creativity and tone. Really like the effect of working the bridge the way you do. Keep up the good work!

[@akumraza]

How high is he?! Amazing stuff🤟🏻

[@smbmxdirt3427]

This guy is wicked at that stringed instrument.

[@Theweeze100]

Fantastic!!!

[@justincox1685]

heard Nick for the first time yesterday. I'd heard his name on an Anderton's Strat roundup video a few months ago. Just remarkable....as a composer. Maybe he'll end up doing soundtracks. Hans Zimmer on guitar. And piano.

[@zezao019891]

What a tasty player !! no words !!

[@thomastaberski5909]

Just cant get enough..!! Everything is great...

[@jasonwhiskey6083]

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

That track is my all time favorite Guitar piece! Every single thing he plays in it is right in the pocket!

[@christianboddum8783]

Would love to hear him collab with the big Marty F ;-)

[@Willfrusciante77]

Le solo de Remarkably Human m'a mis sur le cul !!! O_o" il est incroyable et quasi improbable ! Merci Nick

[@patriclus83]

Haven't watched it all yet but I love how in the beginning he has the most not give a fuck attitude I have ever seen lol.

[@DamianS1893]

Thoroughly impressed with NJ's playing. I'm seriously considering buying a Schecter NJ Guitar. Excellent tones. I'm just trying to decide if I should buy a SSS Or HSS Model.

[@Livvidicus]

Get the HSS you can never go wrong with a humbucker

[@rickpeuser233]

Just gorgeous.

[@slanzygeno1474]

This is awesome

[@BurntMcgurnt]

Awesome thanks beau monde! Love it!

[@SalmiRahman]

what if nick was in opeth?

[@BlkwtrPrk]

Ha, good comparison, and he could be Akerfeldt's body double.

[@CarloMusicLessons]

... Guthrie Govan... coff coff...

[@GJones462-2W1]

He and Mikael would have to fight it out, for dominance! All hail OPETH!!!

[@SalmiRahman]

@@GJones462-2W1 All hail OPETH!!

[@Leftyswede]

Pretty sure he is buddies with Opeth and Porcupine Tree

[@jz_salim1887]

My new guitar hero🥳

[@arnyarny77]

for an intermediate player , he is ok . with a little more practice he does have potential........yea right! obviously he kills it, bad ass tasteful player

[@GoggleKack]

Is it just me, or has the volume on youtube vids gone down? especially on ones with music.

[@noir4659]

KZbin's volume normalization only turns down things that are constantly over -13 dB lufs back to -13, but doesn't turn up quieter things. If you upload the audio that are consistently quiet, say -20 dB lufs, it would sound about 7 dB quieter than most music you hear on youtube

[@TheRealCowlick]

New beard fits him much better

[@venelinpetrov6811]

2 people thought the dislike button was a download button

At 30:50 , who is the composer the guy in the background mentions.

[@kylenarad]

it's quite hard to understand but I think they mention Prokofiev

Is he playing through the lone star ?

He normally plays a triple crown but looks like for this vid he may be using a lone star, must be a small store

[@rockybalboa2526]

This is a message for Nick Johnston. Nick, your a great player. I know you always say that your not particulalry interested in " gear", " amps", "pedals" etc... BUT!!! you must know, that these things have a direct effect on your sounds! Youre amp is THEE VOICE OF YOUR SOUND. I find it very difficult to believe your not aware of this. regardless, i want to share MIND BLOWING AMPS WITH YOU ( and everyone else who sees this message ) The amps are all made from amp maker, Bill Landry. ( landryamplification.com ) Check out his amps! they are seriously, unbelievable! all of his amps are crystal clear sounding, literally! every note and sound is upfront and center! the picking sensitivity, the sustain, the clairty, the harmonics, the tight, punchy, articulate dynamics of your playing, ALL there! PLEASE! as a musical virtuoso, you NEED TO HEAR THESE AMPS! ( and all the other virtuosos do too! ) check them out.. SERIOUSLY.........
