      The schecter reminds me a lot of the s-type tom anderson guitars! is the neck "chocolate maple" / roasted maple?

    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.

      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.

  • @valentino3191
    @valentino3191 4 роки тому +11

    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.

    Hi Nick, It never fails to amaze me, how brilliant your chord-changes are. They cary your melodies so wells and gives me goosebumps - which doesn't happen very often.
    That TONE you got there, has to be one of the best start-tones I've ever heard. It's punchy, airy (is that a word?) and so emotional. Wow! Is it possible to get this set of pickups for a telecaster?
