Even after all that, I still feel like he's one of those DBZ villains that has really only shown us 30% of his true power.
When i first heard him I though...wow he plays nice and easy. Then the scales came out and i realized he is way better than he leads on.
I believe this. His discipline is obvious. He ain't fooling me.
His power level is definitely over 9000
such an organic oldfashioned tone for a guy with such modern technical ability.
Well said!
Yesss u said it well
abnzg great combination indeed !
I just love that tone !!!!!
@@dwilliams2156 what he means i think is that modern guitarist tend to only focus on the technicality of guitar and shred... While "old" guitar tends to be more "melodic and bluesy"... but there is exception.
This guy is one of the most unique electric guitar players in our modern day and age. Nick has top notch phrasing, melody, vibrato and a killer technique. Not to mention he uses strats. Combine all that and you have one of the finest and most underrated players today.
Mesimarch Guthrie may need to watch his back
Not to be a dick or anything, but thise particular song sounded exactly like something Opeth would've made. Not that much unique about it. I still enjoyed it very much though.
Schecter
Patrick you’re kidding right? When has opeth ever been able to play guitar like this guy lol
I'd probably go listen to some more Opeth and then maybe just headbutt a wall for an extended period of time
That technique tho... 3:55 ... unbelievable, sweeping, into tapping all the while he's changing the controls on the guitar
I was so mesmerised and captivated by his playing that I accidentally started clapping with everyone else at the end. Then I realised I am sitting in front of my computer.
3:00 you devil you sneaking srv licks in your completely unique style, I am most pleased
AZIARGROUS hahaha definitely
AZIARGROUS yeah those half steps. I heard it too. Also sounds like he's using jazz strings like Stevie did too.
Heard it too. Cheers
Exactly what I thought!
His playing is next level but the writing is Supreme. He knows when to shred, when to make it sing, when to rock, when to whisper- there's a whole story inside of the songs. A whole range of emotions conveyed by nothing more than some strings on a piece of wood.
Damn, never thought someone would even come close to guthrie in terms of combinding musicality and oustanding technique, but Nick Johnston comes the closest imo, so great!
Also in appearance
Have to say that although NICK IS A GREAT PLAYER,Guthrie Govan is just so far ahead of the pack. Yes,Nick can REALLY play....which serves well to show how good GUTHRIE TRULY IS. Nick is a super nice guy and from where I live. Nothing at all but MAD RESPECT for him and all his accomplishments. Guthrie also has been in the game about 15 of 20 years longer than Nick. Glad both share their awesome skills with us mere mortals.
no.. alex hutchings is the closest one to guthrie.. nick is not a fusion player
@@andrewlaw5628 that's why he said "the closest", not "the same as guthrie". Smh
@@paulgilbert3139 No, we're talking about the skillsets here, not exactly the sound
Love how he uses tremolo without term bar
Can you please explain how he does that?
MISTAKEwasMINE He just pushes tremolo bridge with his hand.
It all depends on the bridge setup.
and that my friend is called a floating trem
Agreed. This is vintage tremolo setup in a way that strings can be pulled about an 1 or 2 notes.
3:57....lick of the century.
Agreed. That slide that he sneaks in there.. My god.
TASTY
I can do that slide part at the end, just need to work on the other 53 notes before that now! PROGRESS!
Mini sweep, some hammer on's, tap, another mini sweep at 17th fret, More hammer ons,tap again , slide, flicks the pick up to neck while descending the arpeggio and Final slide into the note ...VOILA ! there you have it !
*3 years later* fuck.
Tone for days, technical dominance, theory, musicality, melody and SOUL... Just a pleasure to listen and watch. A thank you to your parents who of course had you, and put up with the 8 hour a day wood-shedding. It paid off in spades!
Nick Johnston is an inspiring artist, this will be proved 30 in the next few years.
Practicing 8 hours a day for 15 years and you get the Nick Johnston. Awesome!
no way....believe me....NO WAY
*I found out how Nick has such great muting*
his hair. keeps the other strings quiet when shredding.
the technique was taken from Jeff Loomis :)
Hair muting technique.
@@podmal Marty Friedman does it too.
Total Opeth - Damnation-era chords in the first piece. Love Nick's musicality!
if i had that tone.. id never stop playing.. a million thumbs up!!! cheers nick!
I finally get what soul food means... My soul is fed! Thanks Nick!
When he plays, its reminds me of a great artist with a paintbrush. So creative and moving and his fingers create so much expression and nuances. You can clearly see hes all about tone even though he shreds a lot. Very special player.
This is magnificent . WOW !! just fucking WOW . This guy is something else. Man, such complete control of the instrument, such emotion and musicianship. Very very special, for me this guy is up there with the great players of our time.
2:36 - check out the subtle reach for the trem section of the guitar, a gentle lift or bump and that nice inflection, the seconds later, a downstroke of a chord is given even more drama by Nick switching pickups just for that downstroke! Unreal stuff. So glad I bought his latest album, the man is the creative genius.
possibly the most insane thing ive ever seen, he's such a vibe to see live too!
Nick is amazing, a so nice fine touch and a feeling when playing ... love his style and creativity ...
whalla that is one of the best songs ive heard play so raw... thanks nick, u made my emotions sing... :-F)
one of the coolest laid back and down to earth guys out there..and it shows in his music,,so soul full and heartfelt with every single note..and one of the cleanest players i have ever heard as for note clarity..any time i have company and i put nick on it is always the same reaction..hey who is this ..this is nice i like this...and about time he grew a beard
best skilled artist i've ever seen , stevie ray vaughan is a freakin guitar god , but this guy is so amazing , he jumped to first place in my top fav's
just his understanding of what he's playing , respect
ThermaL1102 i know right? You feel like he's communicating through the guitar, not just playin it
@@RudyAyoub Yo, it's Rudy
Wonderful playing I feel it in my soul
In my wildest dreams I could play like this. This is so good.
just woke up my soul again , hello
wtf man , best player i ever saw and seen hundred of thousands
Most incredibly talented guitarist EVER !!! His compositions are equally amazing ! UNREAL .
The timing of this guy is devilish.
Nick johnston is the best. A ground breaker . a current day jeff beck or clapton.. he is teaching us about dynamics, tone, and technique
He is not just a Guitarist...he is a real wizard
amazing, after a long time, something this brilliant came up...
Without a doubt, the best guitar playing and tone I heard in 2017 !!!! And your playing with a track too, I wish I could see you with a live band !! Oh yeah and Nick, come back to Québec city ! We are not too far from the center of the Universe right ! :P
What I love about this guy is that he uses his technique musically, rather than use his music technically.
Well put.
The man incorporates his hair into his tone in certain parts. Intentionally or not, that is an absolutely beautiful thing.
Awesome, Travis Montgomery of Threat Signal right up front filming!
Nick's album Atomic Mind changed the way I hear and play music, such an incredible guitar player.
He has a unique signature melody and phrasing
Beautiful, powerful and on point work done here sir. Great job Mr. Johnston.
This is beyond extraordinary. ❤️❤️🔥🔥
Awaking with this guy's music makes my day...
One of the best practicioners out there at the moment,wtf!
I LOVE THAT GUITAR !!! So much , i cry ;(
So smoooth and full of energy at the same time
Thanks dunlop for always having the greatest artists
Amazing!
One of the most inspirational players for a long time.
I love that Travis Montgomery, another SAVAGE guitarist, is just chilling filming on a camcorder.l
I cant stop of see this video!" Come on,,,, that tone is sick!!
Waouh!!!....if only all the shredder(s), virtuosos of heavy, had this sound, this musicality, this sensitivity.
Love this interpretation of your song, in this contest..not easy.
Your sound is just amazing!!!
Mr Nick Johnston, you'r a master.
This dude makes that guitar sing like nobody else can. Stunning.
man...what a guitar legend!!! definitelly one of his best live versions for sure!
I love all of Nicks work.
What a sound
What a performance
Wonderful...
Amazing!!!
Love the clenched fist and the 2 guys in the backround then that killer sustain 2:04 wicked player✊
wow great job man, both technically and harmonically
3:22 "who is that guy? " "Nick Jhonston" "who?" "Nick Jhonson"

Jesus, that beard ages him like 20 years, idk if I would have recognized him there!
He's making his final transformation into a guitar wizard
Cruz Avila Awesome comment!
Jesus indeed
@@MrDokek I think you meant "sage"
You look so badass in that beard.
Nothing beats a stratocaster single coil neck pickup
I just realized Nick´s technique/details when playing, every little/sutile thing that makes like giving a little trem, or changing to neck pickup just for one chord. Such a talented guy
That is the most unbelievable guitar tone I’ve ever heard. This guy is the REAL deal.
Great sound, and it's all on his hands!! I love it.
This is art. Completely touched by this.
Nick's guitar skills is definitely over 9000
just total amazing, to feel like that and the technique, rare to master feeling and technique like that
Nick shred guitar playing is so unique and different from other shredder!
A pray for our Jesus Crist: Nick,Nick Johnston!
This performance is not human :)
Absolutely amazing, Nick!
absolutely great!!!
Superior legato technique and remarkable phrasing. I could listed to his playing all day.
my favourite modern gat player
Such beautiful organic tones...esp 4:36 onwards !!! I love that tone ! It helps play chord voicings and overtones and not be plasticy or too distorted to recognize those overtones. They infact sit beautifully on top of each other. But again, its great playing and technique that brings out such tones. I love how this guy approaches guitar playing. Its artistic, not too many notes for the fuck of it. Each song has a story to tell ..
Brilliant! I'm a fan now...
Fantastic chops but with so much feel and depth. Very moving player.
Could watch all day long
Smooth as butter playing....perfect execution ...
Wow. Only guitar player I've heard do things like that is Jeff Beck. NJ is pretty cool. Very original style of playing. I'd love to see a live show someday.
Thank you for the cool tunes, Nick Johnston.
2:03 is the best emotions from Nick .. awesome dude.
your vision is so clear when you play ..its almost Godly
God his touch is amazing
very nice music, and nice guitar. cool video. thanks!
Absolutely amazing. He plays like Guthrie and both of them are top notch players in the world.
brother of Guthrie govan
Nai! Seth govan, this is the son of Govan..
😂😂😂😂
Совсем не чего общего
Damn, i was about to post this. i guess i'm one year late. But i believe he is morphing into, not brother of.
Seriously though his playing is drastically different from Guthrie, and while I love his playing, I gotta say Guthrie has a far wider musical repertoire.
*2:35** What a beautiful part!!!* ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Profoundly beautiful
just great, man.he makes a diference with many others grates players too
Man, Nick you are too good.
My new guitar hero ^^. Your smooth play and touch is awesome.
Simply amazing.
Balls out wicked good.
What a great performance👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀
He knows what to do with a guitar - i love it !!!
The way his fingers flicks the pickup selector was so damn smooth!
what an incredible taste
DUDE IS A MONSTER. 👹🎸
Tone is heavily influenced by SRV/Satch and he dips into the supershred Govan/Vai bag, but keeps it all very tasty, pulling off the occasional SRV fills with authenticity, soul, and reverence. Also love the non-whammy vibrato plate technique which is a TOTAL Junior Brown move.
*Nick: You likely popped in my suggested post feed on Facebook because I follow Toni "Shreddy Cat" Martinez, one of the best young guitar heroes on the planet. Hope to catch you at 2018 Summer NAMM here in Nashville!
Holy smokes! What a fantastic player!
His tone is fantastic!
