Wait, where's the memey opening and the dududududududh dududududududh dududududududh rerenerenerenerner? But this is pretty cool to see where one of my favorite guitarists started.
So hyped to see the man here, Nik has been killing it on RUclips and Termina is a sick project. Good call on getting him Loudwire! I think a lot of us can relate to his choices here too hahah 🤘
Honestly want more of this, we need more guitar YTers doing these types of videos, they're a major part of the guitar community right now so it makes no sense to not have them as a part of your guests. Great video! :)
My lifestyle and music background growing up is exactly the same, Sweet Child O Mine really got my into guitar, discovered heavy metal through friends at school, played WoW when i wasnt on guitar, played and still do to this day AILD riffs and My Curse, only difference is iv been playing for 13 years now and still cant do pinch harmonics for shit. Hats of to you good sir
Interesting that you grew up on some pretty light stuff, my dad supplied me with slayer and metallica, two TOOL albums and two SOAD albums by the time i was 8-9 years old maybe younger, then some other lighter bands that i still love to this day. SOAD is my fave band
Dude I relate to this so hard. Most of my love of music stemmed from guitar hero and need for speed, and unholy confessions is to this day one of favs, sadly I only started playing a year or 2 ago but your a massive inspiration dude love your work
through struggle and my curse were both my introduction to metalcore when i was a kid the first time i picked i guitar, i skept everything and went straight to learning them
Oh wow, never expected that the legend Nik himself would show up on Loudwire. This is great! By the way, am I wrong to laugh when Nik tries his hardest not to meme?
like how we played the same song at first.... avenged sevenfold unholy confession was the first song my friend thaught me.... i only had my guitar for 2 days when i started learning it
Very cool video, interesting to learn of other guitarists early inspirations and musical ideas that caught their attention. I started playing exclusively on an acoustic and focused a fair bit on the kind of 'Mel Bay' book approach and learning a bit of basic fingerstyle playing. However, one day a family friend put me onto Joe Satriani via the 'Dreaming #11' EP and the 'Time Machine' album. Suddenly I heard Satriani's 'Hordes of Locusts' and almost every moment of track was amazing to me. It was heavy (by my standard at the time!), it was full of energy and technique that I was completely unfamiliar with. Joe was getting tones and sounds out of his electric that was so unfamiliar to me at the time.... his control over artificial and pinched harmonics and his squeals and dives, his whammy bar work, the middle-eastern tonality of the piece, the legato lines that covered so much fretboard territory so quickly .... it was a moment for me. Not long after 'Hordes of Locusts', I got Satriani's 'The Extremist' album and then the track 'War' came on... I don't know if it's the middle-eastern tonalities, but whatever it was, War was just so awesome to me. I didn't realise until much later (on getting the tab book) that War was recorded with the instruments tuned half a step down. It's a relatively simple tuning adjustment but it makes a heck of a difference to the 'attitude' of 'War'. I remember being so excited by Satriani's solo in 'War', he starts off with a pentatonic, bluesy run and then exploits the massive drive and pulse of the music as he builds intensity and does a whammy bar slamming trick that reminded me so much of some sort of 'Ghostbusters' theme song! 'War' was a HUGE influence on my playing, no question.
Thanks for having me! Excited for the hate comments
I hate you, Nik.
Niki AND the 000100101010101011001010110 where Is It 😔😔
Do the hate comments also have to be in binary? Like ur music of course

Unsubscribed, disliked, downvoted and reported
We know you are here for 0-3-5 , Ruby Adobe.
I love the fact that he introduces himself as part of Termina, despite being much larger than the band as an individual
Termina has been so good, I’d love to see the two of them keep pushing it
Loudwire is a band channel so it makes sense.
It's good marketing to further grow his bands following
He's just humble
Seeing Nik not on his channel: *_confused screaming_*
Same bro
Agreed
Also seeing Nik on his own channel: _confused screaming_

Straight to the point as always.
hey
been following Nik for 3 or 4 years, he is the reference for metal guitarrists on youtube

He said "You're watching Loudwire" like he wanted to say that for years
Haha yes it seems like

First Jared Dines, now Nik Nocturnal? Please do TheDooo next!!

Ayee for me it was nightmare and afterlife
I'm the same as him, I learned Unholy Confessions last year when I started actively trying to improve on guitar
@@Blandwhistle8 that's bs. There's no way a beginner learns this shit
Rudy gonna copyright strike this for 0 - 3 - 5
First song I ever learned was My Own Summer (Shove It) lol. It's super easy and it slaps.
I'm just glad he didn't play half of like 3 songs like Jared Dines did lol
Jared Dines is trash IMO. He’s honestly not overly talented on guitar and just bashes and makes fun of other people. Can’t stand him.

Band releases song.
part of that Lucid riff reminds me of the solo breakdown in God Damn by A7X
This guy has covered nearly all the newly released metal a song comes he covers
1:05 "Did you come up with that cord, bro? Play something else, bro."
"Nik Nocturnal talks about everything we have all gone through as guitarists"
I didn’t know John Mayer was a metalhead!
Unholy Confessions was the first song I learned on guitar as well and I was hooked
Wait, where's the memey opening and the dududududududh dududududududh dududududududh rerenerenerenerner?
But this is pretty cool to see where one of my favorite guitarists started.
Going to school, playing WoW, listening to metal and wanting to play guitar. I knew there was a reason for subscribing to your channel.
Nik play Slav riff very hevvy

So fuckin' rad to have Nik on! He's a dope ass youtuber/streamer.
First song I ever learned was Under A Godless Sky by Rose Funeral. Then I jumped into In Dying Days by As Blood Runs Black

Avenged really brought my guitar playing to new level
