haha i take it back. i typed that b4 u heard u . really fresh and super unique man. so nice to nit just be a speed demon. i cantt think of a word to describe how cool of an emotion from that journey u just took me on man. but u still cant play like thusth-cam.com/video/TxfEy-v-H2Q/w-d-xo.html
To my palate the word "shredder" sounds derogatory. Kind of like somebody who has to shred. Nick has so many wonderful articulation techniques and ideas at his fingertips. Absolutely loving everything he does.
Nice to see a signature guitar I'd actually buy. Schecter USA is on point with this one and it's nice to see Nick getting the recognition he's earned. Next stop....G3.
Holy fuck! New fan. It's not so much his technique or playing, but this guy's got an amazing ear and creativity and just a fantastic musical sense overall.
I recently had the pleasure to see and hear Nick play in Hong Kong of all places during his tour with Tosin and Animals As Leaders. I also had the privilege to chat with Nick for about 15 minutes after the gig as he was incredibly gracious to all the fans in attendance. At the risk of sounding cheesy, Nick is indeed a remarkably human human being. Incredibly talented yet absolutely humble and approachable and just a helluva nice guy. A melodically interesting guitar maestro indeed. Do support him and his great music! Henning, you lucky lucky dog... :D
Michael Z glad you deleted the comments i would never have engaged with Elmo had he not replied to me i couldn't help but bust his chops he is such a simpleton and i despise him and his crew dealing with them i am reminded of the phrase; "abandon hope all ye who enter here" (lol) as far as yngwie goes there is no denying his technical ability and showmanship but i find him very repetitive. As you know i am not a shredder fan. I love Nicks playing because he writes beautiful melodies and uses his shred skills judiciously. I am glad you are well
Imma gonna ignore the so called irony here - but if Jesus returned - he WOULD BE a guitar player, otherwise he'd be put in the nut house in an hr. Have you thought of that?
Yeah I was thinking that, but, hear me out a little. Nick and Wes Hauch. I just can't fathom the tastiness and diversity both would bring to the table.
Wow Henning. Echt cool zu sehen, dass es mit deinem Channel so bergauf geht :) Die Kooperationen in letzter Zeit gefallen mir richtig gut! Und Nick Johnston ist einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsgitarristen. Bin für jede gute Live-Aufnahme dankbar!
Hot damn this is better than the album version!!! I'm just listening to this one on repeat every day since 10 days. Take a bow Nick Johnston... take a bow!!
he is fan of comics, so may be he has some influence from some tunes. Check out his albums in TH-cam, he published them entirely. His last one, Remarkably Human has an amazing intro that sets the tone for the whole album
I just ordered Nick's signature Schecter. Can't wait to get it and play nowhere near like him haha. Intense extremely awesomely uniquely melodic playing, Mr. Johnston!
One of the greatest players, greatest songs, and greatest tones ever. Oh ya, the guitar is AMAZING, too. Lives up tot he hype and more. Even the "budget" version is more than worth the price. I've noodled on the first and own the second.
Nice playing! Not to nit-pick but is there a lack,of sustain or sterile response from the guitar or is it just me? Seems as though he's trying to coax up some sustain during his flawless performance.
Never ceases to amaze. Especially knowing hes almost exclusively straight into an amp! Anyone know what tuning this is and does he usually play in one tuning or does it vary? Ive got one guitar tuned to dropped C# but try to keep everything else in standard other that one guitar setup as a 5 string "keef" guitar
Thanks again for having me over to your wonderful studio, Henning!
Nick Johnston thanks Nick! people love the harmony video... the one with the licking goes online tomorrow!
Nick Johnston but can play thus th-cam.com/video/TxfEy-v-H2Q/w-d-xo.html

the more I see this guitar, the more I think it's gorgeous !
i dont think that its intentional but i see spiderman movie ending in my mind and both have the same feel for me lol
This guy is a shredder who knows when to shred! Very rare. Always the melody must be the most important! More important then technic.
So very true!
He's one of my favorite guitar player of all time along with Gary Moore and Carlos Santana.

SOOOOOOO GOOD DANG!!!

5:04 I stand corrected. Awesome technique as well. Mind blown.
Look for his NAMM 2017 videos. You have to watch them several times to catch all the details of his amazing performance
Yeah his legato game is messed. Up there with rick graham and the boys !!!

Henning, you lucky lucky dog... :D
Nick "The Touch" Johnston!
I like that he played it in your studio, without any cuts and changes in post producion. You can hear that it is one attempt record and i love it :)
Haha ah really
He is a fantastic player though
hes a soloist, hes totally used to it
Also this is simply the best version I have seen from him so far.
Nick is one of my favorite players -such a great sense of melody to go along with awesome playing ability-thanks Henning
Michael Z glad you deleted the comments i would never have engaged with Elmo had he not replied to me i couldn't help but bust his chops he is such a simpleton and i despise him and his crew dealing with them i am reminded of the phrase; "abandon hope all ye who enter here" (lol) as far as yngwie goes there is no denying his technical ability and showmanship but i find him very repetitive.

His every improvisation is different than the record just simply amazing
It's always great to hear Nick playing, he's definitely one of the best guitar players nowadays!!! Cheers
and he always plays the songs differently, so each of his performances have their own stuff!
Love his seamless pickup switches and all the little string pulls and rakes, I go away from nick and am promptly reminded how wonderful he really is
I think every guitarist, at one point, would grow an epic beard and all of them would merge in a big John Petrucci :)
I prefer the younger '90s Petrucci
who doesn't?
very well said
Unfortunately Joe got bald...
Love the chords you throw through the melody progression. Amazing stuff!
Yeees, saw Nick's picture on Facebook earlier and freaked out. I love this guy :)
Wow!! Amazing to see Nick playing on your channel. I've been playing the heck out of this album.
Nice to see Jesus came back to be guitar player.
Imma gonna ignore the so called irony here - but if Jesus returned - he WOULD BE a guitar player, otherwise he'd be put in the nut house in an hr. Have you thought of that?
Who knows, maybe he is already back and ended up in an asylum...
JamesShore1990
Jesus wouldn't be a white guy
More like Cesare de Borgia came back.
best comment of the year. lol
6:02 are we just gonna ignore that phrasing? Cuz it was damn gud
I did not, my good lad! :)
Would love to see/hear Nick collaborate with Marty Friedman. Would be such a cool mix. Such nice flavors all over the place.
Eric Antonik But if Nick shaved; how would we tell them apart?
Yeah I was thinking that, but, hear me out a little. Nick and Wes Hauch. I just can't fathom the tastiness and diversity both would bring to the table.
nick and guthrie and marty...
Tasty playing , nice build to the shred bits and some cool melodic ideas.
not much more to say really than ..awesome!!
No...You said it all right there..!!!!!!!!!!!
Tone, feel, technic, phrase, this is just too perfect to be true!
Fantastic, lovely playing, lovely hair, lovely all round. Had never heard of nick until this guitar. Great stuff in all seriousness.
Wow Henning. Echt cool zu sehen, dass es mit deinem Channel so bergauf geht :) Die Kooperationen in letzter Zeit gefallen mir richtig gut! Und Nick Johnston ist einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsgitarristen. Bin für jede gute Live-Aufnahme dankbar!
Nick Johnston , A true soul player !!! Thanks Henning !!!
Such an incredible player. Such an excellent mix of virtuosity and feel. One of my all time favorites.
Nick one of the coolest artists nowadays
Hot damn this is better than the album version!!! I'm just listening to this one on repeat every day since 10 days.
Take a bow Nick Johnston... take a bow!!
Love the little trem dips he does haha, hes got the tone and feeling for daaaaaays! So sick
Also thats my dream guitar :)
Daniel Logan (dejct) what kind of guitar is that exactly can you tell me please? :)
This song is awesome, but especially this performance is mindblowing. Best thing I have heard by far in last... years!!
I suscribed this channel some days ago because you did a review of this guitar.. now you have the master himself playing it! AWESOME!
That intro theme.. Sounds like the start of the first big spiderman movie soundtracks. Was begging for the next few notes to follow that tune haha
he is fan of comics, so may be he has some influence from some tunes. Check out his albums in TH-cam, he published them entirely. His last one, Remarkably Human has an amazing intro that sets the tone for the whole album
TheGlobuleReturns I was thinking the same thing when I first heard it. the Spider-Man theme from the sam raimi movies.
Amazing ... i interpet the chaos in the structure and each time tries to reach the utopia just the find chaos again .. wtf is great lol
my musical inspirations and aspirations all placed in one magnificent video
So glad this man exists. Top guitarists of our generation maybe...Advertises the instrument
I love this song. Awesome, straight from the soul!
Awesome!
Wow, thanks for the music. very inspiring. ,,,walks off muttering to himself about practicing more.....
man... this is one of a kind!
I just ordered Nick's signature Schecter. Can't wait to get it and play nowhere near like him haha. Intense extremely awesomely uniquely melodic playing, Mr. Johnston!
Nick Johnstonnnn

One of the greatest players, greatest songs, and greatest tones ever. Oh ya, the guitar is AMAZING, too. Lives up tot he hype and more. Even the "budget" version is more than worth the price. I've noodled on the first and own the second.

Amazing! Just amazing! :)
Billiant. In love with this song
Incredible playing!
Wow how cool was that.
So remarkably good!
WTF 🤩 eared for first time today, I'm speechless.
Nice playing! Not to nit-pick but is there a lack,of sustain or sterile response from the guitar or is it just me? Seems as though he's trying to coax up some sustain during his flawless performance.
low gain and a lot of right hand fingers... we are not prepared for this type of amazingness ;-)
Unpredictable. Love it
God, that tone and expression...
The best performancer !!! From Brazil !!!!!
I want your job. Best day at work, ever!!!
incredible...!!
i love this song !!!
you are going to be on G4 or generation AXE very soon
It's incredible how he can do anything he wants, and just having fun. Amazing.

The legato reminded of Guthrie Govan...
Unique style of playing ...100%original
Un placer escuchar y ver a un gran guitarrista. Saludos desde Chile.
Like a whitesnake
:For you will be my love
and I will feel your heartbeat:
Weltklasse - wie hast du aufgenommen, Henning? Ich sehe vor dem Mesa gar kein Micro, aber der Sound ist der HAMMER!
Two Notes Torpedo LIVE, preset 1
Danke dir!
Dear Nick when you're full of money, drugs, fame, women, guitars, etc, please don't throw away your talent, this world needs you.
he carrys a good portion of jeff becks willpower and style for avoiding boredom and shredder posing. i am pleased :D
WOW Alan Moore
is playing guitar! Nice cover
Guys, you're great!!!
What is the pickups brand use?
Awesome playing !!! Malmsteen-esq lick @ 5:19,5:54 :) very nice..
And he has reignited my passion for seafoam!!
I see Kiko Loureiro influences, Guthrie govan, Malmsteen, Richie Kotzen, Michael Romeo... So many influences
que maravilhoso!
.....and that's how you do that people !! think I might just hang mine up for good
amazingly eccentric beauty!
1 lick and thousand technics
Monstro da Guitarra, Manda Muito Bem !
I always get paralyzed when I listen Nick Johnston playing
Never ceases to amaze. Especially knowing hes almost exclusively straight into an amp! Anyone know what tuning this is and does he usually play in one tuning or does it vary? Ive got one guitar tuned to dropped C# but try to keep everything else in standard other that one guitar setup as a 5 string "keef" guitar
E flat mainly from what I've seen :)
He is quite good
A man with super powers: a power called TOUCH
