[@RKMontgomery]

At a technical level, I'm impressed. Of course I would be... It's Nick. At a musical level, driving home just now, listening to this, I am fed. I feel more confident, my spirits are lifted, old dreams arise again; Nick has tapped into something greater than the sum of the parts (tracks, perhaps?) in the work he has done here. I am grateful for this. I think, rather than pitch a fit, threaten to burn my guitar, or quit playing all together, I'll dig deeper. Instead of trying to outplay the man, or prove anything, it may prove best to simply outdo my own self, to go further than before. I may also just be low on sleep. Thanks, Nick!

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Big agreement - it isn't just about shredding or trying to make the guitar"sing" over a static backing track. Nick is a music composer. He creates music you want to listen to.

[@TheGuitarifier]

@@davelanciani-dimaensionx this is the reason why I'd rather listen to Nick over someone like Satch any day.

[@RKMontgomery]

@@davelanciani-dimaensionx Well said, sir.

[@jonnylee5000]

@@RKMontgomery I'm a piano guy first, so that's what raises my hairs. The guitar is great as well. It's the sustains and like b7s that bring out the soul in works like this. It's simplicity but with a volume to it. His compositions have a feel of sincerity to them. Sure, there's a lot more going on at times, but you don't "notice" it, you just ride along with it.

[@RKMontgomery]

@@jonnylee5000 Yes! It's music that makes even a musician think of something besides the music. Now THAT's rare.

Hey guys! You can grab backing tracks and hi res audio for this record at my site now :) nickjohnstonmusic.com/jam-tracks Would love to see some covers!

[@Javier-qk7ms]

I hope YT won't block covers

[@pranavphx]

They won't block covers unless Nick wants them to and he won't. One of the nicest guys around. I have never been able to appreciate his guitar skills enough because his compositional beauty always seems to keep me so engrossed that I forget about individual instruments. My mom absolutely adores his work and is able to recognize his tracks even when spread randomly in my playlists, inspite of no background or special love for progressive rock /jazz music. He is a phenomenal composer

I saw this, dropped everything and put on my headphones. What a journey. A dark adventure, chaotic, fraught with pitfalls and exhilarating splendors. Patiently weaving through the mist and finding spots of rest. Discovering a reimagined vision of power, and ultimately what it means to take on the journey again with new eyes. Thank you Nick for your art!

Everybody else has already said what a wonderful work this is Nick: - how stunningly creative it is, such beautiful melodies, stunning tones, imaginative arrangements and orchestrations (not bashing the listener over the head with incessant guitar pyrotechnics) - gorgeous colours & techniques - highly emotional in an extremely positive way. So I can only agree. Thanks for sharing so generously your stunning skills and creativiey.

Mr. Johnston You are a great inspiration for me and I'm sure thousands of guitarist. Very melodic and well thought out music. Love your tone man. The use of the pickup selector is crazy cool to say the least. You put a Strat through its paces! I like what you do. I'm so glad that music doesn't have color barriers. I'm an African American and I completely enjoy your music. Sick and Injured Brain still is one of my favorite solos. My grandkids enjoy Nick Johnston! Keep it coming. Don't give in to the "shred gods"! You have too much to offer musically. Peace

[@Javier-qk7ms]

This is one of the most musical of guitar oriented albums I have heard in years.

[@Intimist]

"These Echoes" hits my feelings like never an other song did. It makes me litteraly cry. Thanks you Nick

[@ChrisPetersGuitar]

Genius work Nick. This record is a little more like a film score with guitar as the featured instrument. Very cool direction and evolution in your writing from "Remarkably Human". Thanks for the music!

[@DanielVerberne]

Very good description - yes, it is more like a film score, is it!? More atmospheric, more orchestral, dramatic. The guitar still plays a leading role though, but other instruments are beautifully recorded and the mix is wonderful to my ears.

[@Watzline]

I thought the same thing, movie sound track when I heard Remarkably Human. Nick broke the shredder mode, like owning a Corvette, you can floor it when you want to, not constantly like some guys, which frankly, is pretty damn old, take a bow Nick, you deserve big success.

[@unacuentadeyoutube13]

A million thanks to you

[@thomasreilly4850]

A lot of people at your skill level use music as a means to show off. You use it to compose music that is honestly so refreshing and...constructed. Your music is intentional, and you use complexity as a tool to explore music, not as a crutch. it's a lesson I think many forget. Keep on doing what you do man!

[@doobielespaul1677]

I've been a fan of yours for years, I bought your tablatures and spent an entire summer listening to your albums at a job I loathed. It helped me get through the days. I also went to one of your guitar clinics before you went on tour with animals as leaders. I was never more inspired to go home and pick up the guitar and practice, I almost wish I had recorded it to replay it. You've evolved so much as a composer over the years in my opinion and it's been quite a treat to be along for the ride. You've inspired me tons as I'm slowly attempting compositions myself. You're a true talent, I'm looking forward to hearing all your future works and hope to see you in my city again soon. I rep you as much as I can whenever the opportunity arises. Thanks for putting your music out there.
