Nick Johnston - Weakened by Winter

[@hamipunongbayan2581]

his songs are like stories

[@markduran2034]

Hami Punongbayan indeed

[@taylorbrown7791]

hes also the nicest musician youll ever meet, hes as kind as the message he puts out without words

[@siddharthasekharkole2309]

his stories are like songs

Beautiful Nick ! Who mixed this btw ?

[@Matthew2291]

Amazing! ;)

Bought the sheet music to the album almost immediately after hearing the new album! Very good, but I have feeling you didn't do the transcription after seeing the music videos :)

[@TwistedMood]

Done, and done! This song speaks to me because I have a mental illness and winter does weaken me, this song just gives me the right emotion. I don't know how to explain it other than awesome!

[@brothercartman]

I just can't find this kind of soul in most modern players anymore...so beautifully done.

[@MrEspenFarstad]

Guthrie Govan

[@rotkiv5446]

Theres absolutely no denying Mr. Govans skills, he's got some sick grooves. Definitely one of, if not the best guitar player, but Nick speaks so much more to me. Especially in this last album. Different folks, different strokes, its all good either way

[@pranavphx]

Even if he never played guitar, the compositions and song structure is outwardly. We haven't heard such profound music for a long long time. Breathtaking. You don't need to be able to follow all the notes to love this. This is almost like the best pop album ever the melodies are that strong

[@drinoyoutubechannel9757]

brothercartman ,true.. Music has changed a lot. Nick has got something more than others.

[@PGWilson007]

yes he does have great feel, try David Maxim Micic "who bit the moon" a bit more electronic but he has a great feel as well for a modern player

[@amateuracoustics]

To those who might not know, Nick can easily shred like Tosin Abasi or Jason Richardson. But the level of restraint you hear on this piece and throughout his music in order to serve the melody makes him IMO one of the greatest guitar players. It's astonishing.

[@R3aperCr3W]

I actually hate shredder or whose the fastest guitar licks those players dont have souls to it they just wanna be whose the loudest and the fastest ???

[@monkas3968]

Tosin Abasi absolutely should absolutely not be in the "shredder" category. That's such disrespect to him and the amount of creativity he has brought to the game.

[@azathoz]

Shredding is another resource when playing guitar and composing. Well used can be amazing. Overused or wrongly used can ruin a song. Those who hate it because "it has no soul" (really? Gowan, Vai, Satriani, Gilbert or Moore among many other have no soul then?) or consider it offensive should then stick to blues, jazz, pop or whatever the hell they usually listen to.

[@DeathBringer769]

@@monkas3968 One of his old screen names had something like "ShredGod" in it though at one point, to be fair, lol. Just because you can "shred" doesn't mean you don't have melody or creativity. I hate when people only use the word in that sense. Tosin can definitely shred melodically.

[@connormartin1618]

One of the best things about Nick. Knows when to shred and when to hang back. Does both perfectly

[@PyroShredder982]

How can you hate this. It’s melodic. Has plenty of technique for all the shred fans out there. It’s progressive, yet touches your soul. “remarkably human” really is the perfect title.

[@ivan_7402]

this song is absolutely disbalanced. The guitar so weak and the piano horribly powerful. People just dont like fakes

[@yeril9]

Yes men him incredible musician. When the music it's no only speed or show soul lenguaje!!

[@Incon_clusive]

@@ivan_7402yeah you’re tweaking bro. It’s balanced perfectly while not being so flashy that it takes the melody’s out of it. 🤦🏾 brain dead listeners as always

[@IBHID]

@@ivan_7402 ...fakes? Fair if you don't like something but what on earth does that mean?

[@chocolatecookie8571]

Nick Johnston is not a cult leader. If people are not allowed to dislike his music then there is something wrong with the cult members.

[@pranavphx]

Wow. This album has so many layers. Best record I have heard in a long long time

[@pranavphx]

Is been 5 months. This is a regular companion throughout the day. Stunning production as well. Bought the album and the backing tracks. Very kind of you to do that for ppl like us

[@pranavphx]

Also Gavin Harrison, just wow. Pineapple thief and now this. Stunning

[@lewisbeeman]

I didn’t know anything about Nick Johnston until I stumbled across his Schecter signature guitar. Bought the guitar, and now I am a huge fan of him.

[@lukeuser78]

No words for this! When a guitarist is also a composer!

[@Danihost07]

Probably the most beautiful instrumental song I've heard the last decade.

[@JonathanBriseboisLamarche]

There is no such thing as perfection, but man does this come close!

[@ahmadm29]

That pinched bend at 06:24 is so so lovely!

[@joygohil6454]

glad someone called it out :)

[@Ale-Desafinados]

This is THE SONG.

[@klaytonhenrique8550]

Desafinados Seu cover está genial tbm, digno de respeito!!!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

@@antisolcial Did it a while ago!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

@@klaytonhenrique8550 Obrigado my friend!

[@iscarvalho]

There is not a single word in this song, but I feel that it told me a complete story, a lot of emotions and the feeling it brings me is euphoria

[@flavy1000]

Yes...winter weakens somehow..but this musics lifts the soul up again...!

[@ryanbakerink6505]

I listen to this 3-5 times a day. Amazing sound! Great job sucking me in with your amazing talent Nick!

[@subhanbasit2695]

Phenominal player! One of the most soulful guitar players in the modern era with the chops of legends. Hats off. His albums make me listen to the entire thing.

[@thethethe814]

This guy's pieces are mesmerizing. Absolutely in love.

[@Kamy.GG.Official]

*_This is.... beautiful, masterful, you name it.._*

[@satchimoogle]

The more times I listen to the album the more I become obsessed

[@hugoaustin-murray7794]

You can tell he's a great guitarist even though he doesnt shred a lot. Technique - 10. Music - 10. Strings - 6. Soul - 10.

[@Fabio_de_Souza]

Shred playing runs too fast to leave a mark in your soul!

[@bibek4828]

This guy has a master mind in composing this kinda chord circles...and he plays every single note with his soul.....and the tone is over perfection....

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

can't believe I've only just discovered this. instant subscribe.

[@g.george]

Holy fuck man, this is music in it's purest form. You will remembered forever as one of the truly genius musicians of our time

[@denerstakflerdt526]

Defining the musicality of Nick Johnston is like thinking of an abstract work of art. His music gently walks the world of new age, jazz fusion and the most innovative sound proofing today. Nick in this magnificent work synthesizes an avalanche of feelings and senses aimed at a new insight that makes the listener reflect and disconnect from a world so empty and devoid of beauty, so dear reader close your eyes and let Nick Johnston's music search the More beautiful places of his musical soul, for music is life and it seems to me that our friend Nick Johnston understands this very well. Congratulations Nick Johnston from Sao Paulo Brazil.

[@francesco0185]

When you play the guitar like this, you don't need a singer.

[@Ali_0h]

Amazing phrasing. Hè makes simple melodies come to life, love it.

[@caseystevens445]

I'm reminded of a long Cold winter homeless in the woods it broke my body and my heart hurt but refinded the soul and character.overall strenthening

[@ullisalindsey899]

That song is BEAUTIFUL

[@Rizvi1993]

Nick's picking dynamics are just so beautiful!

[@SleepytimeTiger]

can't stop listening to this

[@davirg9902]

another perfect Song from Nick Johnston. This single coil tone is Magic. congrats.

[@bassmaniac9]

that guitar solo was pure beautiful out of the earth and divine !!

[@leonardoxrodriguez]

My newest best one! Love the rythm and melodic motives! Sometimes simple and brilliant! Great songs!

[@sunnys3325]

True talent and taste right here man. Such a distinct style he has. U can immediately tell its Nick Johnston. Phenomenal!

[@progrob27]

Only recently discovered this song, instantly a favourite- so beautifully dynamic and moving

[@KrishnaChaitanyakc9]

The Piano section in this song tells us a story!

[@anamariacarmona2208]

just perfect.

[@JonasTamas]

Great song, massive thumbs up.

[@jacksmolinski4210]

As the minority with an Ultrawide display please thank whoever made this video for making it in 21:9 it looks unreal on my display! unlike 90% of youtube videos

[@grantcooper4267]

Jack Smolinski no problem :)

[@brunopaefi039]

I wish that every musician had your sensibility. It seems that this song was written with a pen made of soul. Thank You. Greetings from Brazil.

[@MattSofianosGuitar]

Agree with so many of the comments below. This album is full of ultra tasteful melodic playing and such dynamic control. Such an articulate and nuanced guitarist.

[@blessontomjoseph]

first heard this 4 years ago, now i'm here again and the jaw stays dropped.

[@SachinPatil-ih8lr]

Only the person with no sense of music can dislike this masterpiece.

[@BMWBikes-i7n]

Wooonderfull, faaantastic!!!

[@nightdragon1528]

Definitely my favorite song from remarkably human, hell, I love the whole album, but this one just happens to be my favorite.

[@jamesamore1433]

This is everything I could ever dream of writing! Absolutely outstanding!!!!

[@leetattoo1976]

I have nothing but love for all this guy records! Brilliant

[@muhammedshifatshahriar1626]

watching him play is a treat to my eyes. Magnificent playing

[@pankajmahanta7493]

Wow i am really glad i came across such a timeless melody

[@kcb5336]

This guy is great. A guitar player who’s an actual songwriter first.

[@Feverton1]

Nick, you’re awesome!!!!

[@sirzafer]

Absolutely perfect

[@nick4468s]

he reminds of like a modern satriani, very melodic well composed spends more time on amazing song structure rather then playing as fast as he can the whole time. great artist great song

[@franek_izerski]

I agree.

[@peterthierling7778]

Yeah ....my body and soul have a great feeling

[@kaiserbach1231]

you are a amazing guitar player, so melodic.

[@anor_wombo]

So glad that I discovered your music. Absolutely gorgeous song, man

[@rjordist4925]

this is one of the example of classical music or neo-classical music evolution improvised and hosted by the millenial era. I'm proud to be one of this generation but classical music never dies and it remains forever. rock'n roll!

[@maddazhell3519]

The pull-off harmonic at 7:01......brilliance, and right in the middle of the riff

[@wonderclam4268]

He doesn't need overly impressive and complicated shred licks. He has soul and executes each note perfectly. Plus this dude is one of the most humble and down to earth guitarists ever.

[@vvallacx]

I really love your peaceful melodies, and that beautyful clean tone. Great song, man! You're amazing!

[@dangauvreau9049]

Can’t go wrong here it’s my favorite song for this time in my life! Makes me feel the moment - I want another similar and much longer! I loop thins one 🙌

[@BrunaTerronigt2]

Love the feeling you transmit with your songs. Simply amazing. One of the best guitar players ever

Really well done sir.

[@antropologyyyyy]

wonderful, what a beautiful melody !!! congratulations nick

[@CreamFreshCream]

Oh man, that tone... it's amazing! Thanks for posting Nick. Keep it up!

[@khadkaraghav]

CreamFreshCream Its not the tone. Its about his playing style and ability. He didn't use processors, not even compressors in the record. May be his pickup switching and hand tremolo stuffs that he mastered and may be thats what makes him unique ! Inspirational

[@tanchokdewan9020]

6:12.... 0mg that drum that playing....loving it so much now j gonna dig your album sir

[@forestgod1845]

Absolutely beautiful tone, phrasing and technique. Remarkably human is one of the most refreshing instrumental albums I've heard in a very long time! Nick is a complete beast!

[@davidsaganey641]

Well said, I totally agree.

[@euclid9492]

His melodies are really memorable, really taking the place of a singer here. Listening to this reminds me of how I first felt listening to Joe Satriani.

[@andyolb]

❤ wonderful! 😊
