It's incredible how he owns the song. So much improvization over what's already a fantastic song. He just adds stuff on top of it, tastefully, and still misses no notes whatsoever... Love this guy.
John Overthinker watch videos of Guthrie improving over backing tracks or his waves video at g4 I believe. The guy is the best guitarist ever imo. He has feel and can play everything, his chops are second too none.
Dude is straight kill'n ! Just the right amount of tension on his melodic lines, flawless technique and speed and yet still maintains taste(He doesn't sound like he's doing exercises) well schooled but with a street players rawness and edge! Wow !
fortunately, the planet never dies, it is just the awareness of what is real in ones own mind making any one believe or know anything... thus the planet is always here but the conciousness is of a singular matter of perspective so that is to say perspective never dies but a body of a being does... So, yeah if the world were to end this would be a great song to be played... or nothing else matters....
Fabulous. I don't listen to much instrumental guitar music these days, but I have all 4 of Nick's albums and they get plenty of playing. The man has it all, great tone, great chops, and great musicality.
His phrasing is superb. Great player. Nothing against people like Joe Bonamassa or any of the Blues Rock guys, but they can't touch people like Nick. The skills are on a whole different level.
For 6 min and 20 seconds the world around me shut down. The slight smile stayed on my face the whole time. Now THATS a captivating music and playing! N.J. is one of a kind.
Just watched Plini sitting in that same chair I listen to this song at least 19x a day since it came out and You are even improvising over it, this is a dream come true. Thank You, sir.

That performance is outstanding! thanks for sharing
Someone clicks on a YT video titled : NAMM 2017: Nick Johnston Live At The Dunlop Booth -Pt 1... and gives it a thumbs down. Damn, we live in a very confusing and chaotic universe.
Wow, what a splendid performance! Your chord selection and overall phrasing, combined with what “looks” and sounds like effortless playing, places you in the upper stratosphere of guitarists. What a gift you have. Thank you for sharing it with us.
The lick at 6:02 isn't even decipherable to my brain. My brain just said, "it's too awesome to understand. Just smile and nod while backing away slowly."
i met this guy already 3 times and witnessed him play and each time it felt like the most impressive thing ive ever seen... i dont think there is anyone in the world who perfected this style more than him, it's nothing short of majestic to see what he does!
What a masterpiece!!!! Dude... all the emotions he puts in his playing are nuts!!! I haven't been so impressed by an instrumental composition since ages... That means something, I guess... And, for the guys recording... I don't know how you manage to not shake the camera. It would be mission Imposible for me XD
Been listening to lots of guitar players for decades still do but Nick brought something unique in guitar world amazing style melody phrasing as well as technique but he’s music is pure and emotional as hell
TH-cam should just rename thumbs down to "Haters", cuz if you thumb down this video, you are a hater and you obviously are missing the entire point of being a musician. This guy is an undeniable incredible talent period
Damn his tone has gotten sooooo much better now that he is using that little bit of extra gain. It makes him sound much more convincing in his solo's or melodies, amazing😍
Little trouble with noise gate there? Seemed his notes cut off if his vol was a bit too low. He has some Brett Garsed going on and Malmsteen and Greg Howe. Great raw tone witch that overdrive kicked in. So metallic and clear with no fuzz.
I’m a proud owner of his pink schecter strat and holy shit it’s an amazing guitar, he’s been such a huge influence on me this past year and I’ve made way more progress from learning from him
Stellar tone and expression. Don't typically listen to this style but might start because your playing is fantastic! Came here from a shout-out from Jeff Loomis in an interview video and am not disappointed.. cheers from a fellow Canuck :)
Thanks for having me at the booth, guys!
The schecter reminds me a lot of the s-type tom anderson guitars! is the neck "chocolate maple" / roasted maple?
I believe it is a wenge neck and fretboard
Nick Johnston Man I like the beard but it's weird for me at first never having seen it before! Ha! No more baby face!
Btw incredible playing!
thanks for producing amazing music
It's incredible how he owns the song. So much improvization over what's already a fantastic song. He just adds stuff on top of it, tastefully, and still misses no notes whatsoever... Love this guy.
He actually owns the song that's his composition
@@ej.salcedo You really think I didn’t know that?
Who wants to see Nick Johnston and Guthrie Govan together?!!
Frann Kavila nick johnston guthrie govan - Silver Tongued Devil. Bring some lotion and a rag
nick johnston and plini 😊
Wouldn't that like being getting Clark Kent & Superman in the same room?? Both are fantastic!!
John Overthinker watch videos of Guthrie improving over backing tracks or his waves video at g4 I believe. The guy is the best guitarist ever imo. He has feel and can play everything, his chops are second too none.
I want to see Steven Wilson and Nick Johnston together now. Nicks phrasing and feeling for a song combined with Steven's songwriting will be awesome
Always nice to come back to this every once in a while
Hahah that crazy legato and arpeggio bit with the open string slap at 4:42 makes me smile every time! Epic!
Dude is straight kill'n ! Just the right amount of tension on his melodic lines, flawless technique and speed and yet still maintains taste(He doesn't sound like he's doing exercises) well schooled but with a street players rawness and edge! Wow !
This is one of the very few of these NAMM performances on youtube that I can actually sit through in its entirety. Very moving.
Yeah... Here I am again ...!! ❤👍
This is possibly the most moving electric guitar piece I've ever heard. Masterful. Gave me chills.
I know it's different... But try listen to this piece also..!! th-cam.com/video/BYiT7uN-oY0/w-d-xo.html 😊👍
This song should be played when world is ending.
The world is ending.
Never in my life i have agreed with someone like i do right now. Lol
News flash....
fortunately, the planet never dies, it is just the awareness of what is real in ones own mind making any one believe or know anything... thus the planet is always here but the conciousness is of a singular matter of perspective so that is to say perspective never dies but a body of a being does... So, yeah if the world were to end this would be a great song to be played... or nothing else matters....
This is my favorite live performance of his, I just can't stop listening. Anyone else in 2019?
2023 mate!
2030 mate
2024 crew checking in, I miss Nick's single coil bridge tone!
Fabulous. I don't listen to much instrumental guitar music these days, but I have all 4 of Nick's albums and they get plenty of playing. The man has it all, great tone, great chops, and great musicality.
12 dislikes? Wow..I like this better than the fantastic studio version. The Messiah of the guitar.
this video is the best Nick perform
for the guys filming it and missing it all surely xD
The dislike is from bunch of fuck head don’t know jack shit about guitar playing!
His phrasing is superb. Great player. Nothing against people like Joe Bonamassa or any of the Blues Rock guys, but they can't touch people like Nick. The skills are on a whole different level.
Pretty sure if both of them jammed, they would both do GREAT, in their styles... Be careful with Bonamassa, EXTREMELY versatile.
This guy make me go lurking for a strat....
Same
Ahaha same
Not a Fender, though.
@@ZzzzzzzxxxzzzYZ4 still a strat
@@dogdydod5247 trademark and brand don’t match.
For 6 min and 20 seconds the world around me shut down. The slight smile stayed on my face the whole time. Now THATS a captivating music and playing! N.J. is one of a kind.
Jesus, he has such a purely musical touch, and those runs are so clean
5:53 Yngwie vibe
Also, that Mesa sounds amazing. Much better than the Kemper @ Schecter booth
Johnston is a remarkable guitar player
a remarkable human indeed
I come back to this almost daily, one of the greatest guitar performances I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot 😅
One of my favorite guitar players. what a humble human being...
That Precision Drive...yasssss
It's a great pleasure to watch and listen to such artist. So obvious he is much more than a guitarist.
Man just look at him having so much fun while playing, now this is musicianship
Es un Extraterrestre!. Un fuera de serie. No me canso de escucharlo. Gracias por regalarnos unos sonidos tan hermosos.
That was crazy!! So much style and tone on tap, very inspiring to watch.
Awesome playing Nick, and we will have to send you a Precision Drive soon! Maybe I can trade you for some of that vibrato! ;D
Haha thanks!
Not really...until somebody like you mentions it for no reason
relaaaaaax
Dude, makes my eyes watery. Every. Single. Time
Great guitarist! Bravo Nick!!! Incredible guitar style!
Well, that was fucking ridiculous.
Where have my socks gone?
This song is a masterpiece. Outstanding.

Air Johnston ROCKS! Nice. Very nice. Had to watch it twice.
Someone clicks on a YT video titled :
NAMM 2017: Nick Johnston Live At The Dunlop Booth -Pt 1... and gives it a thumbs down.
Damn, we live in a very confusing and chaotic universe.
The result of years of devotion to the craft. A thing of beauty!
When he suddenly rips on it it’s amazing because it s not overdone
His technique is so unique. Simply amazing.
Wow, what a splendid performance! Your chord selection and overall phrasing, combined with what “looks” and sounds like effortless playing, places you in the upper stratosphere of guitarists. What a gift you have. Thank you for sharing it with us.
The tone and playing is fantastic!

Monstro! Um ar de originalidade e frescor no mundo da guitarra.
Incredible performance. Keep doing what you're doing Nick!
Great, this is the first time I heard of this guy... I'm missing a lot
What a Masterpiece! In awe!
I feel like this is almost a guiding song on how to play with emotion and shred ...like you made it for us to learn
OMG! You're incredible Nick! God Bless You.
Nick needs to do a collaboration with Andy Timmons,enough said.
Espetacular !!! Nick Johnston, sou do Brasil e seu fã!!!!!

soundnya gurih kang....
My new favorite musician and performance
Gotta love that bedroom playing for fun kind of vibe
One of the most accomplished musicians (not only guitarists) of the present era!
Damn his tone has gotten sooooo much better now that he is using that little bit of extra gain. It makes him sound much more convincing in his solo's or melodies, amazing😍
Nick you are such a beast!! Always seem to find your tone on whatever rig you use!! You are a inspiration!! Peace!
Remarkably awesome!
Una auténtica pasada. Que maravillosa forma de tocar... Nick, you have a new fan!
Wowww
this song is perfect. It doesnt need nothing more to me
Absolutely insane!!! Nick is no doubt one of the most brilliant guitar player with Bumblefoot,Govan etc nowdays.His music is amazing.
Little trouble with noise gate there? Seemed his notes cut off if his vol was a bit too low. He has some Brett Garsed going on and Malmsteen and Greg Howe. Great raw tone witch that overdrive kicked in. So metallic and clear with no fuzz.
I’m a proud owner of his pink schecter strat and holy shit it’s an amazing guitar, he’s been such a huge influence on me this past year and I’ve made way more progress from learning from him
Im stunned !!!
