Jared James Nichols is hands down my favorite guitarist and his tone and style is so unique and he is the reason I decided to drop the pick because I never could get use too it and hated relying on it, but man what a humble guy he is. And a shout out to the Sweetwater interviewer... asked all the right questions and didn't interrupt and you could tell how genuinely interested he was.
Same here! There are some greats who play slower melodic rock fingerstyle but no one quite like Jared.
I went to Jared's gig at Nottingham last night and as a new fan didn't realise he played without a pic.
It was the softer sound and less of an attacking tone I noticed first, then when I looked closer noticed no pick. It's a different sound for sure, which obviously works for him 🤟.
Man, that‘s some incredible phrasing and tone control!
Also his ability to smoothly transition between single-note lines
and more chordal playing is amazing. True virtuoso on the instrument!
Love this sweet water guy, picking the right words!
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Harry Antonio instablaster :)
@Wayne Bruno Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Wayne Bruno it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Harry Antonio you are welcome =)
wish him all the success in his career.. could not happen to a nicer guy..
Modern Nugent without the baggage. Love this guy. Decent, humble and approachable. Great Ambassador for the P90 for the new players coming up. Hope he continues to have a great career.
JJN is a BEAST. Long live the blues.
Thats some serious skills there!!
Thanks for the tips!
Incredible feel and tone..sheer brilliance!
Absolutely remarkable. His technique is so alien to most of us. What a lovely guy as well.
Amazing tones and playing style. I saw JJN open for John 5 last year and it was mind boggling what he could do...Great Great Job Jared
One of my favorites in a while. I’ve learned a lot from watching him the past few years.
Equal finger deformation and calluses ftw
What a stud. Thanks Jared!!
Fantastic!
Awesome
It would have been good to mention Richie Kotzen while name-dropping, who is also a heavy guitar player that decided to drop the pick.
Mats Rune Dagerlind Richie is on a different planet
Richie should definitely be more known! He’s an amazing player.
Great playing, and that guitar is beautiful. I'm generally more of a metal guy, but this dude is a beast.
I hate Nichols as well, what an amazing player! Seems like a really nice guy, and his passion for guitar is infectious! I have played my Blackstar and Gibson a lot lately, but I just don't sound anything like Nichols, can't figure it out. lol
I love JJN - what an absolute star and I'd love to have the chance to hear him some time. Great interview as well picking up on some points that I haven't heard him discuss so clearly before.
Unreal ....I was originally taught finger picking style...maybe need to go back to that.
Thank you JJN!
I’m lefty and play righty. I took classical lessons for 10 years. I’ve been exclusively using a pick for about 3 years because it is extremely hard for me to do. And it’s something I want to learn. I’ve always played using my fingers like JJN and using my 2 fingers like a pick.
He’s got a great tone wow
Thank you SW! Again, best birthday ever... and it isn't even my birthday. "I hate you" LOL! Well said, Nick.
JJN makes it sing!!
Okay I redact my previous comment, at the end of the video this guy tears it up, great job dude
tnx
holy cow :O
I'm originally a bass player but now playing the electric guitar at church. Can't play with a pick to save my life and have been using the PIMA style. I did have to resort to using a thumb pick because the electric steel strings were wearing down my index and middle finger nail beds from strumming.
I’m lefty too u just because my favorite player!! I play righty too
My man jjn, keeping it real
Never liked using a pick either lol
💪❤🎸🎶🎵🤘👏👏👏🔥 Dude...! I don't use a guitar pick... but my technique is so different! I'm so glad I got to see this... very interesting and inspirational. Awesome!
The T.J.Miller of blues /rock🤓. He's a great musician!! Love his style.
😳 Wow. Gotta be the best guitarist of present times 🎸
I have no idea how he gets that much attack with no pick. Crazy.
JJ Nichols is inspiring.
What kind of guitar is that?
I'm a lefty that plays right handed and always had trouble with picking.
It happened the same to me. I'm a lefty as well and learned guitar as a right handed. Never found it easy to use the plectrum and it's funny beacuse if I flip the guitar and use the plectrum with my left hand I can pick much much faster than with my right hand by then I would need to learn from scractch to play the freatboard with the right hand so I stood playing as a right handed. I always felt it easier to play with my fingers but somehow I thought I was wrong doing like that
Haha. Is left-handers have to adapt so much! My problem has always been the opposite. I’m left-handed and picking has always been easier, but my fretting hand can be lame at times. I also play right-handed. Lefty guitars just weren’t readily available when I was 12 and had a couple hundred bucks saved up.
I love his style AND he’s like my hair brother.
A British bloke at Sweetwater ?
#stevehill is still the master of the thumb technique by far!!!!!
... and by the way, he is incredibly sympathetic! ☺
Another killer player who rarely uses a pick is Chris Buck!
Always felt like a weirdo for not using a pick but I prefer to use my thumb and fingers just like him, I even mute with my thumb 😅
Me too dominant lefty play air guitar lefty.
Nick you got a bit done. And i dug it all.
This guy has probably never seen the inside of a gym. He got that big from bending 2 1/2" of hard wood a 100 times a night while playing
Herp derp
Yup "Controlled Chaos"
Wow. Inspiring. I have been thinking about losing my pick for the next 12 months. Hey, where did it go. Hello finger. Thanks for sharing the mojo.
Everyone keeps making the Richie Kotzen analogy when it comes to Jared and I hear it to an extent but to me, he's much closer in style to Michael Lee Firkins...just saying. He's an amazing talent all the same though!
Jared, is Jared.
Awesome tone from an Epi! Oh... must be the fingers! Eheeh
Ricardo Gordo it's not just "an Epi" - it's his signature guitar. Yeah it's in the fingers, but it's in that guitar too: single p90 LPJ style, to his specs. It all adds to the flavour.
Yeah it‘s in the fingers, but also the amp is important.
He knows really well how to dial the controls of the amp in the
right way to make this P90 pickup really sing (it’s also his signature amp,
So yeah should be obvious). Furthermore, the pickup
in this guitar actually comes from a decent brand.
Only playing with your fingers are very limited.So mixing it up and using a pick half of the time is a cool thing but only fingers?No it gets boring pretty fast because you already kind of know whats coming.
11 people are super butt hurt
7:04 that's what my poops sound like
He looks and sounds like Justin Derrico! Great player though...
What is monotonous.
Hey Jared, why all the tattoos, originally the tats were for healing purposes on specific parts of the body only and that has been used since 8.000 years ago for instance with the Cucuteni culture in mid Europe, Otzi the Bronze Age ice man also had healing tattoos on specific parts of his body. You flaunt all that cultural knowledge which can lead to ill health and disaster.
I dont get it...beginner licks with histrionics and long hair....meh
Phrasing, tone control and dynamics of his playing are far (far!!)
beyond beginner level. It‘s not just what you play but how you play it.
Who cares
