  • Nick Johnston shows off the Yamaha AC3R and it’s powerful S.R.T. pickup system, which combines a traditional under saddle pickup with sophisticated mic modeling along with an active EQ. The neck on this acoustic is thin and perfect for Nick’s style of playing.

    Before I started playing it was THIS kind of stuff that really made me want to learn...now that I've been playing for almost 20 years it makes me want to stop lol

      +DeanOMiite What do you mean? why does it make you wanna stop?

    • @ikhsanhasbi657
      @ikhsanhasbi657 8 лет назад +4

      +DeanOMiite I'm an absolute beginner, just started learning guitar for few months but I kinda know how you feel. In fact I also feel it myself, knowing that no matter how hard I learn I'll never be as good as this guy make me feel kinda sad and demotivated lol

      DeanOMiite Thanks for your kind words. I'm also joking, haha. Of course I will keep playing, cause it's just too damn fun. I blown my own mind away once few weeks back when I finally able to play sweet child o mine intro because of sheer excitement, lol. I don't think I'll stop playing anytime soon.

      +Ikhsan Hasbi Don't just "learn guitar". Playing guitar is not very hard, in fact, any instrument you should be able to just look at it and know how to use it. That being said, if you ever want a chance in hell of being able to play like this you need to start learning music theory. Or else you'll just be stuck playing covers of your favorite songs for 5 years like I was.

    The song at the beginning of the video is one of Nick's songs from In a Locked Room On The Moon titled "Sandmonster". Awesome playing! Such a great song and really makes for a great acoustic track. He's got tabs on his site for every track on the album. I just recently discovered his music through this channel and instantly went to his channel to subscribe.

Nick if you're reading this I'm just gonna go ahead and buy your album without sampling any of it because I already know I love how you play. Been a great 2 months for me as I've discovered Jeff, Keith and now Nick. My love for technical guitar has been restored!!!
