“I feel like a lot of people, when they see me play, they think, ‘Oh, it's going to be super aggressive, and there's a lot of shades of that,” shares Jared James Nichols. “But I'm so obsessed with the tone, the feel of it…. Growing up listening to Jeff Beck, Albert King, guys like that; the super feel stuff to me is where it's at.”
That sentiment is overwhelmingly clear when hearing just a single note of Nichols’ playing. And what makes his musicianship that much more compelling is his abandonment of the pick-most of the time, he’s not really “fingerpicking,” but he uses his fingers to shred like any picking guitarist. He explains, “I'm a lefty, so that's where it originated. I tried to use a pick, and I was really uncoordinated. I can play a lot of the same riffs that someone could do with a pick, but play ’em and they sound a lot different.”
Earlier this year, Nichols came out with his third full-length release, Jared James Nichols, which adds to his catalog 12 more dirt-covered, gritty tunes that dig in with his infectious passion and signature, glistening tone. The album comes on the heels of Nichols’ growing success, bolstered by his extensive touring and tens and thousands of new fans.
Given his commitment to Les Pauls, it’s fitting that Nichols was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the guitar’s namesake inventor. Now, Nichols is a global ambassador of Gibson Guitars, an honor shared by only four other guitarists. And, since his last Rig Rundown, he was honored with a signature Epiphone guitar. In this new look at his rig, he shares his legion of trusty Les Pauls, as well as why he prefers simplicity when it comes to amps and pedals.

The weird moment when personal means that his new epiphone signature sounds better than the Paul Kossoff les paul. For me the Paul Kossoff sounds like absolute mud. I wanted to say shit but tried to be polite. So I am not. Fuck that one lol, his single p90 epiphone sounds just...better. The single p90 jr also sounds better for vintage mellow.
@@81giorikas uhh .. okay?
Loved this Hands on...Jared j put his heart into this...IVE BEEN LOOKING IN Australia to purchase his Signature Les Paul...Cant find it....
I’m not even half way through yet - what an enjoyable rig rundown. Jared’s child-like enthusiasm and sheer love for the guitar is just a joy. I’m smiling through this whole rundown. Awesome 👌
I’ve learned so much from watching Jared’s playing style - I too am a lefty playing a right handed guitar and have had some challenges using a pick - This guy is a wealth of information and talent.
I saw Paul's comment and decided to reply instead of making my own. I'm not a hard rock guy anymore, but love Jared James - his playing is so different. I almost got an Epiphone Old Glory, but opted for a 1955 reissue instead, since I was born that year, and it has the large rounded neck I like, plus I'm more of a neck pickup guy - and I have a Lollar "staple" pickup, similar to what the original used for more clarity (Les Paul used a Gretch dynasonic until Seth Lover made the staple pickup for him). Jared James is a fun guy with an infectious attitude!
Met him yesterday after the show. He wanted to talk to everyone and give us hugs and thank everyone. Was so sweet. Really cool dude
JJN is an absolute gem. Even if you're not a fan of his music, he's such a great ambassador for guitar playing. Always positive and always comes across as genuine person. We need more players that lift other players up like him.
Jared the giant for reason he’s. Sweet guy met him In person
Jared himself is the distilled essence of good tone!
TRUTH
Testify!!!
The Paul Kossoff LP's tone gave me chills.
Me too! From the first note I felt like there's a very different mojo in that guitar. WOW.
Man, I came here to say EXACTLY that! That is the best sounding Les Paul I've ever heard! WOW! Kossoff was SO under rated.......but that TONE!!! Monster!!
Fore sure! That one is in the top 5 of the ~700!! Bernie's "Beast" is another one!! Very cool!! --gary
Goosebump city while he's playing this one! It's got Paul's mojo in it for sure. Sweet.
How do they protect that guitar? I would be afraid to check it at the airport. He should not have mentioned the air tags.
I met Jared over the weekend. One of the nicest guys I have ever met not to mention a total bad ass guitarist and singer.
This guy knows his shit! Great guitarist + Knowledgable + enthusiastic about his craft. He'll go far
Oh boy, the Kossoff 59..........just WOW! I've never heard a guitar which speaks SO much to it's famous owner - I could just hear Paul play that on every note! What a monster guitar!
I just love his enthusiasm, it's totally infectious, and he's an amazing guitarist to boot, what's not to love.
The story of this wonderful 1952 lespaul is just amazing 😍
And the tone !!! 😍
Would of sold it to the rich man jared james well wealthy but the man didn't feel right selling the guitar to jared mmm cause it was damaged but the man knew about guitar who knows really what happened
The way Jared plays is like Jeff Beck; he plays lead vocal lines and amazing blues. Plus his attitude is so positive. 100% a fan.
I first encountered Jared on fretted americana after Phil X went his own way, his finger playing sans plectrum was a revelation & I’ve followed him ever since. Top player & topper enthusiasm whilst being genuine to boot. Long may he run.
Wow, that guy can play. Incredible talent. The way he shakes that vibrato. And no pick!
Mr. Nichols is one of the finest advocates for rock guitar today, the industry as a whole benefits from musicians like this.
Well, time to throw all my picks in the recycle bin and pick up a Les Paul Junior. 🤣 Thanks PG - as usual, an awesome visit with an inspiring artist!
thanks for watching!
Jared you are correct 1958 was the release of the hard edge double cut juniors and specials and there was a hand full made single cut up until the switch to the SG body shape and during that time when sg was still called the Les Paul they made a batch of original double cut specials in cherry and in the 1961 ledger those guitars which where double cut bodies laying around were mark as “SG” and that’s the strange history of how the original les Paul double cut gave the SG its name
JJN's enthusiasm is contagious!!!! Enjoyed the rig rundown!
Jared and John. Two class acts, for sure. Another great rig rundown.
Only one word describes Jared, PASSION. This cat lives and breathes his craft, so great to see and hear. Great rundown John!
Ran into Jared last NAMM, he invited our group for his show in that night and was the best decision we've made, I left the place so inspired. Great player and the nicest guy too! Kudos to him!
I’ve seen Jared live twice in the UK, absolutely amazing and he’s one cool guy. The Koss LP I have held back in the days when certain things were touchable, at a guitar fair in Newcastle. I have a photo too, I was 26 yrs old, I’m 59 now. Koss was one of my heroes and I grew up on Free. Taken to soon at 25, him and Bolin Great video thank you!
What a national treasure and honor to see this man play.
Jared's top of the heap for me as far as new guitarists, I love how he plays and he inspires me to practice more every time I watch him play, just phenomenal.
He is quite the inspiration for any guitarist at any level or age. It's all about the joy of playing! God bless you Jared
God, Jared sounds like such a nice person!! I missed the chance of seeing him opening for Saxon a few years ago at a small club near me. Some day soon, I will catch a show!!!
this guy has such a humble and down to earth vibe about him.
"It's gross john" omg, why was that so damn funny!
Jared and Joe are why I play a Les Paul. Such a great influence. I love the tones and style. Very inspiring. Thank you.
The UGLIEST shape ever 😂😂😂
I couldn’t bond with my Gold Glory, but the gold and now pelham blue signatures, are the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen, esthetically.
Super cool seeing that Kossoff LP, man, such a great player and had an amazing tone
Jared started playing Koss’s LP and I got emotional!!
Those 58-60’s LP’s are magical !!
That guitar sounds unreal. Of course this guy could make a hello kitty guitar sound good.
The Jr double cut was released in 1958
By far not into that "type" of music but always enjoy seeing him talk about his gear, playing and tone 😎
Great player and refreshingly humble.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times. He’s such a cool, humble, and inspiring person.
Very good stuff!
Hey “This guy just plays dirty”..😂 love me some J.J.N. 🤘🏼✌🏼
"Should I play that riff? Am I gonna sound like it? Uh-oh!" That was mint. haha
That kosoff 59 was bloody amazing but if I'm honest Jared sounded so much better on his own guitars, even the epi! But man that 52 is just out of this world - probably one of the best Les Paul I have ever heard!
That 52 Goldtop story was the craziest thing ever heard.
Great it was restored. And the way from that yard to JJN… awesome story.
Thanks for a great rig rundown 👏
These two love guitar more than most. This was great to wake up to this morning. Thank you, PG!
Also, John Bohlinger makes Jared look like a pretty normal size human. He only sounds like a giant of guitar in this video.
JJN is a living god among guitarists.. and he is the most humble and fan-appreciative musician in town world!! Met him twice and he’s an awesome guy.
😂😂😂😂 “a living god” 😂😂😂😂
@@Faded0811 where's your signature instrument and album?
SO glad to see a significant 59 Les Paul NOT owned by Joe Bonamassa ;) :D
I was there when Dorothy was debuted in Pennsylvania (Stroudsburg at a little theater called The Sherman Theater). That night there was an unbelievably bad rain storm, it was the tail end of a hurricane that was down south. It caused so many roads to get closed that the trip that would normally be 1 hour for me to get home took nearly 4 hours. I spent 3 hours driving through the mountains from one side road to the next as they were closed. It was an amazing night i will never forget JJN is a beast!
I was there too! Great show! Jared's a beast and love the real enthusiasm he spews!!!
EXCELLENT rig rundown. John's the best .... good tasteful dialog, and knows how to bring out the best in his guests. Jared is just fabulous. He's the essence of classic merged with modern rock. Wonderful optimistic "glass is half full" attitude. ☺☺
15:43 !!!!! I always love this guys attitude.
I met Jared in 2019 when he was on tour with John 5. He is the one of the nicest human beings you could ever cross paths with…and that Octavia sounds absolutely monsterous live!
He seems like a good dude. There are a handful of players that are that enthusiastic and look like they're really enjoying themselves. Love how that single p90 cleans up. Tons of versatility. Like a Tele bridge on steroids
BMFP. Saw Jared live in La Rochelle. He kicked a**. This guy's already a blues legend and one of the most nice and humble peope ever. Period.
This dude seems so awesome. What a rig, what stories and great technique. Awesome hair!
Tone is in the hair
One of my favorite Rig Rundowns ever !! More power to you JJN
What a total gentleman! His expressions and dynamics are insane, what a passionate player. The story of the tornado les paul is just pure rock n roll :D Amazing video, thanks Premiere Guitar 🤘
I could watch this guy all day! Such positive vibes always!
Jared always has "One more in the hopper"! 😉 Can't believe I actually got to play onstage live with this Rock God, in Glasgow's GuitarGuitar. I still have to pinch myself! Keep on Rockin' big fella!
I heard that "Mountain" riff! Cool, too bad Leslie West didn't make it to his resurrection, nice playing, Jared! So refreshing to see someone more into tone than mindless speed.Kossoff is due for a rediscovery, another great one more into sweet tone and liquid vibrato than speed, so cool his axe lives on, these guitars are the Stradivarioses of our time.
Really awesome ,thanks for the feature!
Premier guitar is Awesome!
I appreciate the content with these rig run downs.
I do not want to be a buss kill but the guitar belonged to some one and I think the right thing to do would be to try and figure out the rightful owner!!!
Thanks again,
B
what does this mean?
B
I haven't seen any guitar player like him as in the way he uses his right hand the dynamic range he gets with his finger is his signature style.
Can really tell Jared was stoked to be one. Great episode
This should be the blueprint for all rig rundowns. Talk about the gear a bit, some cool stories about the gear etc, and then let everyone hear how it sounds. Great guy, great tone, amazing player. He plays like he’s genuinely excited to do what he does.
meanwhile, some tornado survivor in Chicago is wondering where the heck is LP gold top went lol - I hope Jared would kindly give him something for it if the the previous owner comes calling...
His enthusiasm for beautiful loud filthy tones is pure gold.
Honestly, one of the best PG interviews ever! Thanks!
Damn, a Kossoff guitar - that sound!
he is the epitome of what guitar players should play & sound like . tone so damn good ❤
The MXR Fat Sugar and Sugar Drive are a good klon circuit style pedal that you don’t have to worry about smeggle taking the “precious”
Man, I love his tone and finger style. Such a great video, John!
That dude has just got it!!!!I love it!
Absolutely awesome!!! :)
Love his enthusiasm, what a player. Keep doing what you’re doing JJN
That Kossof needs its own security detail sweet.
JJN seems so down to Earth humble and jammin the F out!
He gets some of the best tones in the world, with no pedals, on what many consider to be cheap entry level amps. Love and kisses to JJN and Blackstar!
What a great guy! And great musician!👏
Best rig rundown I've ever seen! A complete lesson in how to play very tastefully and with lots of fire! Jared is one of the greats!
Tasteful...you need to hear Frank Marino, no one is more tasteful than Frank
@@nasticanasta I will for sure check into Frank. I know Zakk Wylde talks about him as an influence. Thanks!
@@nasticanasta very well said! one of my heroes
amazing tone, inspiring playing, down to earth comments, fascinating stories - congrats, best rig rundown ever! (I love it! 😉)
Amazing!!!
Best Rig Rundown so far. No way you can beat JJN enthusiasm when he's talking about his craft and gear. Amazing.
Awesome rig rundown on 🔥
Great tone Jared!!
This was so damn entertaining! Thanks so much! JJN is an incredible player❤
I got nothing but love for this video! Jared smokes, John always kills it in his interviews...and the guitar playing and tones are sublime! Nice collection of LP's!!!
Awesome spent most of the vid with my chin on my chest Thanks for the rig rundown👍
What an awesome musician!
ABSOLUTELY F’n AMAZING!!!
Jared is the MAN!
This was awesome from start to finish!
I love how Jared plays. Leslie West is taking notice.
Love that 59 on the crazy mode. Wich is normal mode for Jared. Awesome 😎 player inspired on the good stuff
Outstanding! 👍🏽
That was awesome
Thanks!
Heat!
I just wish I'd gotten @JJNicholsMusic and @johnbohlinger to sign my new Epiphone at #R2R2022 in Nov when Nashville chapter of @GuitarsForVets were honored to play onstage at Gibson Garage. It was my first time doing anything onstage, and it was such a head rush meeting such humble everyday guys. I was backstage ogling all of the iconic Gibson's and getting ready for the show when I met "Thor" (aka Jared) before he opened the show rocking the Star Spangled Banner. It would have been a great pleasure to have had him and John sign my 'new gal' as a memento of a cherished day 🎶
Omg, that old gold top reminds me of seeing Ted Nugent tearing it up on stage in 1977 Gonzo tour. All those crazy harmonics just oozing out of your P90’s on that one. By far best sounding Les Paul of that style I ever heard, as well as Free’s ol burst LP!!!
The best! Love it! So inspirational.
What an absolute beast of a man, dude and guitar player….his right hand is just awesome
Jeezus! That kossof LesPaul is incredible
I love Jared. So real. ❤
I had seen this guys guitar at sweetwater but had no idea what a phenomenal player he is - I’m a fan!
Love it. JJN is unreal and should be the guitar ambassador for the world from the US.
That Gold Top has a thing man, tornado or not, that thing is amazing.
i love this guy!!!!!
What a playing dude
