- Hey there! So Strandberg Guitars and JTC Guitar have teamed up for an epic SOLO CONTEST where the winner wins my signature guitar model, the Strandberg Singularity NX7 True Temperament! I will be sharing jury duty with some fellow Strandberg artists and I look forward to watching tons of entries!!!
The abundantly talented Connor Kaminski has put together the backing track and here's what it sounds like when I loop the track and just improvise away until I ran out of tape!
!!! DISCLAIMER: I'm obviously not entering into this contest myself - this video is about promoting the contest :)
You'll find all the details here:

Per's solos have a way of giving me that feeling of childhood wonder when life was mysterious and of unknown depth
Very evocative way of putting it, I agree completely. It's not hurt by his usage of modes like Lydian that include that magical raised 4th, but there's also the pure freedom in his playing. Probably the finest praise I could give a soloist on an instrument is when that person plays the notes that I - during those brief moments of inspiration - am capable of singing over the top of a backing, but usually unable to reproduce on my instrument.
Well i was going to leave a comment on this video... But this dude said it all
I get at least halfway there....but still amazing shit, he's one of my favs as an adult and also a player.....who I can never approach in technique/skill...yeah he's "Good" or whatever....jokes...yeah! Jokes!!
I remember the day RUclips introduced me to Scar Symmetry, must've been like 2009 and your comment perfectly underlines the way I remember hearing Per's solos!
Per's solos are the most authentic I can think of. They are often in service to the theme while showcasing the hours of work into technical mastery.
They tell a great story just like the best ones from when we were young.
All the fun melodic modes make scar symmetry feel like space metal. Every kid loves space.
Been playing for almost 35 years. Only for myself but I'm playing every, single, night. You are my #1 guitarist of all time. So smooth, the notes choices...wow. Discovered you because of Scar Symmetry but damn I love your tone on the Kaipa's album. My 74yo dead is also a fan :) Cheers from Canada
And you expect us mortals to play better than this guy?! Pshhh. No chance. 😆
I'm not entering into the contest obviously, plus I'll be in the jury picking the winner :)
@@ScarGuitar - True but the bar has been set very high. Well played.
Mesmerising playing as always! Not entering as far from possessing the necessary skillset but Per, your revised model has the richlite board which is similar to ebony in looks and performance but your "old" version had rosewood. Is there something you dislike about ebony?
Personally I think richlite is the way forward. Good luck contestants!
A few years ago I got a six-string Boden Metal that I use for 5ths tuning, it's got a richlite fretboard and I realized that I loved both the feel and the sort of dynamic response from richlite that we decided to try it for my signature model instead of rosewood and man I LOVE IT. It sounds and feels amazing plus it looks fantastic! I don't have much experience with ebony to be honest
someone give him a proper guitar and it will sound nice.
the guitar neck is broken, does he not notice ?
Du bist Amerikaner, for sure
Between this video, your signature Strandberg guitar, and interviews with Mr. Strandberg, I'm starting to think you are sponsored by Strandberg..... :D
This man’s phrasing is next level 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Per could play on any setup, any guitar, any tone and after a single phrase I'd know it's him
Per is deserving of his own Chuck Norris-isms - I've heard that true temperament are laser-positioned to where Per Nilsson's fingers naturally fret the notes.
Hahaha 😅😅😅
When Per buys a new guitar, it has straight frets. They become true temperament because his playing is so hot the metal bends.
Top notch Sir . Be nice to my dream guitar will ya
Enter the contest and it can be yours :)
Love the Holdsworth lick @ 4:07
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH \ M /
Omg Per solo album when
You and Guthrie are on a different level when it comes to improvising. The musical expression and technique is incredible.
I could listen to you improvise all day, man. Absolutely incredible stuff.
I know you from literally more than a decade lol
“Homeric”!!!
As in: D'oh! 😅🥰
That solo was beautiful! Every time i hear your playing it takes me to another world. You 're an absolute beast and my favorite guitar player Per! I love every work you 've done with Scar Symmetry and your other band KAIPA. You 're a big inspiration to me! Also I love your guitar and would love to compete, but there 's so many great guitarists out there and i 'm not that much of a shredder guitarist. I hope some day i reach a little bit of your level.
Sing it! REALLY enjoyed that. Thanks. :)
Holy Moly!! Unreal Per! That's exactly how I would have played it too.
Per´s understanding of Building Melody lines are Magical, this Dude has to sit in Hollywood and write Music for Big Movies
Next level wow this is fantastic stuff!!!!!
Love watching you jam, Per...always inspiring
Wow
That's sik bro.
Levi Clay brought me here. Amazing playing!!!
Your solo brought tears of musical happiness to my eyes 😇
Man, listening to Per makes me both want to lock myself in my room and play, but also switch to playing the triangle.
Idk what this solo contest is looking for but damn you nailed it I hope you win! Such a fun listen and impressive display of technique. It never sounded like superfluous nonsense, the voice carried through everything you played, often soaringly so. Everyone is always drawn to the fretboard (and what are those frets, I've never seen that before) and that left hand watching a great solo but holy shit the right hand is really the thing to watch I think. 3:58 an onward for a hot sec is just insane, the picking and fingering with the before and after of this solo. Wild. All of it. Well done and thanks for sharing.
I also hope he wins the contest, but that wouldn't be fair, after all it's this guy's signature guitar that JTC is giving away haha
@@Mojojojoe LOL I did not know that, funny shit.
I'm obviously not entering this contest, also I'm on jury duty for it :)
@@ScarGuitar Lol good to know I suppose. Regardless, killer solo man thanks for the clarification lol.
I believe the fret company is called True Temperment.
This doesn't sound like a guitar. The notes are "too much" in tune. It almost hurts my brain.
There are actually quite a few videos with poor intonation guitar playing out there on this big and vast RUclips, no need to hurt your brain watching True Temperament videos :)
Those high end Strandbergs really are a different breed. I would love to wield one but I'll have to sell one of my children to buy one 😁
Jokes a side, these higher end Strandbergs are not a joke ❤️
And Per is off course one of the world's wonders with guitar 🌹
every time he takes me somewhere with that kind of solos . awesome
Absolutely unbelievable. Every time I hear you play it's just an education. Please please please please release a solo album. I'll give you all my monies!
Great tune! Mr Nilsson are you ever planning to release Holographic Universe on Vinyl (i.e. sound that wasn't killed by mastering)? Analog Singularity sounds so much better...
The vinyl version of Neohumanity is actually printed from the same master as the CD so the difference in sound all comes from the vinyl medium. I quite like listening to our albums on vinyl, it's a slightly different experience. Holographic Universe along with Pitch Black Progress, Dark Matter Dimensions and The Unseen Empire will be released on vinyl in just a few weeks, you can preorder now if you are so inclined :)
@@ScarGuitarYeah, weirdly, sounds less compressed for some reason.
Are the reissues the original masters too?
hello and its an honor to have your sound bestowed upon my soul ... epic and beyond ....can i ask, are the frets bent for microtonal tuning? as to mean, you can play a note slightly out of tune like a synth(moog) with tune drift ect?
The fretting system is called True Temperament, Google it 😍
@@ScarGuitar thanks for takin time to reply man...and thanks for the music lesson - i researched it and true temp seems freaking amazing! that ability to kinda "bend the instrument" into your own sound is freeing and feels right, i think so much more right ... like a taking drum over a double bass kit or sometrhing
i have a roli grand and its my favorite instrument because of the personability apect .. far out.... hey man thanks for adding some awesomeness to this/our/my world ---- 🖖 and best of all things too ya....
Nice melting melody 👍🙏🤘 🦁 Purrrs. UPVOTE
Showed up on my feed again. STILL FANTASTIC! Thanks again. :)
the true guitar god
Great video per-per
@pernilsson what are you using in this solo as in terms of scales
D major, D dorian, D mixolydian, D minor, D mixolydian b6 and a few occasional chromatic passing notes
Just received my nx7 singularity last week(paid for,not won,lol). My favorite guitar !!! I love your lead work. Smooth, melodic, and emotional. Thanks for inspiring me, sir !!!.
yeah...that's compositionally beautiful!
kudos!
Greetings, how would you approach this improvisation, which resources (SCALES, BOXES and ARPS) would you use first, and which ones could you add later?
time to feel inadequate again. somehow you still manage to have your grace notes sound so unique. little 1-fret-slides sounds so different when you play them compared to other great players.
Man you explained yourself!! Great playing and fretboard knowledge.
Are you planning to release a new album?😳😲🙄
Indeed we are; it's been finished for quite some time ago and the release campaign is currently being planned
World class feeling in this ✅ Just amazing!!!
He took a shower, brushed his teeth, put on his pajamas, and was all set for bed-but his hands have other plans and keep rocking out like it's a never-ending encore
Amazing as always. Your talent helped me through a lot of pain and still does. Please keep on giving us your special melodies and harmonics. Scar Symmetry for ever
It's a great day whenever I see you've posted something Per. I was finally delving into inversions when I came across this and I instead picked up my 7 string and decided to learn more about how you jump around with your intervals. I've only learned the first minute so far, but it feels so good. I'm not talented enough to enter the contest, but I know someone will be insanely lucky to win your signature guitar. Keep up the amazing sound Per, you're one of a kind!
0:58-1:00 ❤ i'm stealing that
1:26 The choice of notes, the phrasing, Per Nilsson just wow , you touched parts within me I didn't know were there. Thank you for this beauty❤
Per, you solo like a Gentleman. You've been in love, and your heart's been broken. You've lost friends and experienced death and new life.
Hi Per Nilsson, I'm your big fan!! Love this. ❤
How does your lead tone sound so fluid?
I don't have a good answer for that; I just try to get my fingers to produce the sounds my ears want to hear
@@ScarGuitar hahah, it was more of a compliment than anything else! keep doing whatever it is that you're doing!
Steven Wilson, Satch, and Holdsworth would dig this solo for sure =) freakin sick!!!
Nice Per! 👏
His phrasing is fuucking insaane *_* love it. So melodical
Per still in his pajamas shreds harder than our best show that we prepped for months for.
Too tasty Per. love and envy that ear and hands
So what’s your soloing concept to get the feel and notes what’s the theory behind it.
Any musicians no what mode is he using? Is this Lydian because it sounds so beautiful and ethereal? Thanks.
Every note an epiphany.
Can we still find the backing track somewhere?
The man himself just casually blowing us all away in his pajamas.
I like to be comfortable
That was awesome!
Such an epic prize! I had to record a solo as soon as I saw it! The guitar looks and sounds so cool! It helps that you're the one playing it, of course! 😂
Switching from D minor to D major. Lots of Mixolydian and maybe Mixo b6? Help me out guys I might enter the contest.
OMG Per bless me with but a crumb of knowledge to help my unworthy ears 🙏🏻
@@austinmorris4471 just choose the notes that sound good to you and you'll be fine :)
one question how many play on this tape if the boss doesn't mind tell us. bc you made it seem so easy.
This is beautiful ❤
Edit: can't stop crying
Yeah, you know how to play guitar. Sick!!
Having your guitar solo evaluated by Pertron. People are gonna be sweating bullets, man. This contest is gonna be awesome to watch :D
world class note choices
i wanna hear Guthrie jam over this one!!!
me too man
Always improving per! Love this. Just as beautiful and inventive as always. Been listening since dark matter dimensions, and as I’ve grown in my own musical journey, I have seen yours evolve and always offer something new. I aspire to be like this.
Per wins! Congratulations! ;)
Reminds me of Chris Poland's sound
deuxieme fois que je le regarde , j'aime beaucoup cette tension continu et le choix des formule de gamme
I'm left with no words every time I hear Per's unreal way of improvising... 😲
Fantastisk vackert. Lyssnar på solot minst en gång om dagen och jag behöver mer. När ska du släppa ett solo album med dina magiska solon och låtar?
very excited for this!
Per's solos always sound so epic, like the penultimate scene in a feel-good movie. I love it.
We want a Per / Devin / Guthrie colab.
Oh my god that was unbelievable. I’ve just came across this video and have listened to it 6x in a row. Sounds so massive and epic, beautiful tone and playing man. Holy shit. Thank you for that.
The finish line of guitar is so far behind this man.
I agree with the sentiment, however, the beauty of playing a musical instrument is that there is no finish line!
How do I get into these contests with out having a computer
always a pleasure to hear Nil slay that thang
Do you use a synth pedal with this? Sounds majestic. It’s very beautiful and flows, but that tone is amazing.
Thank you! I'm not using the synth pedal here!
Very Alan holdsworth dude 👍
Så nära någon kan komma Mr Holdsworhs ton men ändå helt egen....
Absolute guitar god. Legend. Genius. An immense treasure and an inspiration of a human being.
This is utterly insane..
Man that backing track gets boring pretty quick. U did an amazing job keeping my ears engaged, as usual.
Well I looped the track; I don't think the composer intended for it to go on for over five minutes :) Luckily people can turn the video off if they get too bored :)
Someone tell me what modes he is using in this please?
Playing with fingers here - tribute to Jeff Beck
I haven't really listened much to Jeff Beck - what little I've heard has been amazing of course - but I used to listen a LOT to the "Brothers in Arms" album by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler is such an amazing player - his playing on that album's title track blows me away every time, absolute mastery
@@ScarGuitar Oh yes! Same for me! Classic stuff
A huge guitarist!!!!
those true temperperment looks so uncomfortable and you played so ease respected brother
they feel pretty much exactly like playing regular straight frets honestly :)
The Beast!!!! Playback please!!!!
Dang I wonder what the criteria was.
I used to be your fan, now i am a complete air conditioner.
I know I might have a chance some how
That was beautiful sir....
