Michael Dörrenbächer fooking agreed!!! Jared James is unbelievable!!
Hhhhex
Me too !!! JJN knows how to rip it up !!!
Pretty great vocals too
Wonderful artist. With the drive of Zakk Wylde, touch of Jeff Beck and a soul of SRV.
Александр Каримов
Александр Каримов.. He has a Ted Nugent, heavy ass hand with a groove sound, at times as well.
EXACTLY said sir!
Looks like Richie Kotzen to me.🤘

This guy just makes me want to throw my picks away. That fingerstyle is fucking crazy! Damn brother.
Apart from how awesome Jared is, the pocket and the tightness of the band is out of this world!!!! That's why it sounds so gooooood.
Saw em a few years back. The swedish guy on drums is cool as hell, was rockin the show I saw with a Metallica harvester of sorrow tank top on. Mixing the greats from different genre's. Trio's seem to bring the best, tightest musical units. No room for slouching.
He is definitely one of the guys reinventing the blues. Joe Perry, Leslie West, Jimmy Page and even EVH seem his main influences, but his playing is totally his own, and his voice is true blues power. Keep up the good work!
World Class Soundengeneering, especially guitar is sounding killer!
Incredible how he's able to shred finger picking , i do that sometimes and it feels like i put my fingers in a meat grinder when i'm done. His fingers must have calcified , damn!
The guitar could use a little more "low end."
great, i'll remix it myself I suppose if I dont like hearing guitar solo for 41 minutes
This guy is fucking awesome!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I've seen some asskickers in my day.....but Christ this guy tears ass UP!!
I love the raw sound from the P90's. Great performance!
Now that’s a tone 🤘🏼
No doubt !!! Remember tone comes from the guitar AND the amp. Blackstar hit the bulls-eye on this amp sound. And the third thing tone comes from ...the FINGERS...in this case from BOTH hands! JJN is an AMAZING guitarist...I would love to see him live at the Tower in Upper Darby...Philly people know what I mean ...
How have I only just discovered this dude? Absolutely incredible.
Don’t feel bad I only just discovered him this last year
Thank you! Power trio rock n Roll. Band is killer..
Fingerstyle shredding like Richie Kotzen and Southern Rock sound ala Leslie West,I like the guy already.
Richie is way better man, sorry
First thing I thought was Leslie West too.....
@@anthonydavella8350 ummm no he isn't....sorry
@@johnnyguitar65 Ughh, yea he is. I like this dude too but Richie was shredding Shrapenel over 30 years ago
@@anthonydavella8350 Ughhh no he isn't. I don't give a damn if he was playing 100 years ago. You wanna say you prefer his playing?....fine ....but saying he is "better" is ridiculous. I like Kotzen...really like Winery Dogs....but his playing is no better or more complex or more melodic than JJN. They play different styles of music....but I seriously doubt there is anything that Kotzen can play that JJN can't .....and vice versa.
This guy is the beast!!!! The volume and tone are his pedals! Blackstar amps are just amazing! Im buying one
nice to see some real rock&rollers
Jared you fucking rock man. Great style
Pride and Glory!!!
That's what I thought , Too ! lol
Shit yeah, going to see him and John 5 in a few weeks in Sydney
@@bradwebber3211 Lucky, lucky you brother !!!
This is my first time watch someone play guitar like that without a guitar pick. It's just crazy
Check out Richie Kotzen in the last 5 years or so.
Yeah, pretty amazing for hard Blues Rock, eh? -Doug Pratt, Atlanta
Yep JJN is in good company along with all time great Jeff Beck.
Derek Trucks
It is truly INSANE ... Crazy !!!
This is tone I have been searching for, for so long!!! Killer tone..
I dig the sound coming from those amps too but what I really dig is your guitar licks and voice. You're doing a great job keeping the heart of Rock N Roll and the Blues beating.
I think you are too. GREAT hair !!!
Saw these cats in Cleveland opening for Saxon and U.F.O, They we're incredible!! Meet them also, super nice, down to earth dudes.
There were just as good in Toronto!
Saw them in Lebanon New Hampshire. Have massive respect and appreciation for these cats.
killer vibrato/yeah tone, blackstar is good stuff..
Why am I learning about this guy just now!?!?! I'll be checking his work out for sure!
Yeah that is strange that JJN is not more widely known. He shreds the blues in a big way~! AWESOME!
Never heard of him. He’s awesome. Lots of soul with aggression.
My respect for him went rocket high
Шикарное исполнение, шикарное владение гитарой. Браво. Реальный талант. Вот неожиданно порадовал. Видео 100% скачать и в архив. Это редкость.
Very impressive, I just downloaded the record and bought the amp!
Killer jams !!! Just discovered Jared a week ago. This was like the 3.rd video I clicked and now I can’t quit watching it. One of my new favorites for sure. If the world ever has live music again he is on my list to see for sure. In fact we have a club in my town that brings in great acts similar to this. I have already shared the video to them and recommended them to set up a gig.
Last time a power trio just absolutely blew me away it was Clapton, Baker, Bruce......
Wow, came here for a quick look. Watched the whole thing. How he gets that clarity without a pick is beyond me. Did a little Jeff Healey action on that 3ed song, flipped his hand over the fretboard. Sweet!
Yeah that is some heinous guitar work !!! Gotta have everything LOUD to get those sounds..JJN you are a WIZARD with the guitar!!!
Lots of Richie Kotzen vibe. Great singing and playing
32:40 “Thank you for listening”
THANK YOU for rocking our fucking socks off mate.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
living proof that rock is not FUCKING DEAD!!!!! LOVE THIS DUDE TED AND JEFF BECK ROLLED INTO ONE FREAKING COOL WITH A COOL ASS 70S SOUND BRO KEEP KICKIN THAT ASS ..... NEW FAN FOR LIFE.
The epitome of a Power Trio.
Power Trio !!! No doubt about it !!! Gotta turn the BASS Amp up though !!!
With POWER being the definitive word !!! And epitome ...what does that word mean??? :D
@@richardmarkritchie1187
epitome (ĭ-pĭt′ə-mē)
A representative or perfect example of a class or type
PERFECT blend of Blues & 80s hair bands!! LOOOOVE IT!!!💪😎👍
This dude is friggin' unbelievable!
This deserves 5million+ views.
Dude picks up an epiphone with p 90s and rocks harder than the entirety of shred guitars in the store
Yeah. But that's a Gibson.
@@francesco0185 Yeah but his real one is an Epi....
Not p 90s........A p 90 haha
"an Epiphone with ONE P-90, it's really all you need if u have a decent amp. JJN knows how to play guitar !
@@richardmarkritchie1187 And after saying so, he grabbed a Gibson and played in this video.
Imagine a band with him and Richie Kotzen and Buckethead together!.....OMG OMG OMG
Man, this first tune is extremely very good...thehard steady tasteful drums. The tones... vocal tone and guitar tone are so similar...that's sonic integrity. The creative melody with surprising changes! Then the second tune...the same qualities. Vocal harmonies, histrionic guitar harmonics, creative lead licks, and the balance of lower energy "movements with rapid passion movements. These guys love what they're creating, and may have a wee bit of inspiration from King's X...? Enough writing, I'm gonna listen to the rest right now, friends. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
I can't hear a single note from the Bass. Am I crazy or am I like a dog & can only hear high pitched sounds now?
Jared is a badass, love this guys playing!
You guys are awesome!! JJN band AND Blackstar totally ROCK!!!!!!! Thanks for the music :)
Keeping rock alive.
Awesome.
Talented asf
That sound is fantastic 🤘
Wicked!! And he’ such a humble dude
Amazing guitar playing skills! It's not just skills, it's the feel too!
🤘
Just discovered Jared and like him a lot. He keeps the good Rock alive and well and just smokes it... Love the first song here...
Love this guys playing so so smooth by fingers an one pick up wtf
that drum sound is beautiful
it is for sure! But the Bass...can't hear a single note from the bass :(
Dude is an amazing guitar player. Love how he spanks that thang🤙
Holy Shit! This guy ROCKS!!!!!
It's pretty obvious there is a 70s style revival going on... a real need and desire for more organic and traditional playing at best... back to basics. I welcome it.
Nice music, insane playing! Top 👍
I’m ashamed to say I only recently discovered this cool,cool guy on Marty Schwartz guitar channel,never heard of him before but I most certainly have now!!
Outrageous Talent!👍🏽
Totally BADASS!! Nice playing all around - and seriously great recording too!!
Next level finger style! Jared is a beast on guitar. Love his tone and overall pure rocking style. Seems like a great human too.
I love this. I've tried listening to his recorded stuff, but it seems too polished to me. His live stuff is so raw and gritty, I love it.
Super stoked this cat is rockin the house of blues in a couple months!
I am blown away, great band
I love everything about your music forever 🤘🎸❣💯❤
The more I listen to this guy the more I want to listen to
I can feel Pride & Glory spirit in it
Style and technique off the chart. Saw them in Dallas this summer. Impressive.
Not the fastest not the heaviest not the cleanest... but it all works out for this guy. It's perfect for today.
This reminds me of a band called Avalanche that was playing om the local (western Wisconsin) circuit. The singer/guitar player didn't use a pick either. He had a 50 watt 1987X Plexi (Marshall) running into a 2x12 cab that he use to crank but he'd turn the cab around facing the back wall miked. One of the best tones I've ever heard. Really fat. This is great stuff Jared. Just discovered you.
Those pedal on the amp? Do you know ?
Top player ! Missed him in Manchester due to CVD . Come back to the UK soon!
AWESOME how JJN riffs out A BEATLES tune on lead as the song comes to a close. Norweigian Wood for the uninitiated. Great stuff JJN !!!
Please come to Springfield, Mo. Or Knuckleheads in KC
Buen sonido la de esta banda...muy buena me gustó...los amplificadores blackstar están sonando muy bien...buen trabajo el de la marca...
caraaaaraaaaleo que pegada monstra...you're rock dude!!
Such an earcandy your music is! Very ballsy blues rock!
Jared can play! Great performance man 🤘
SUPER TRIO!
Flipping Sick Guitar Talent! 👍🏽 Wow!
Just saw in Madrid live, tremendous guitar player, excellent singer and a guy that connect with the audience, really had a good time, thanks Jared for your music!!!!
That was f%×€ING awesome!!
Glad you enjoyed it. We loved it too!
@@Blackstaramps great job on the Jared James Nichols amp package. I want one pretty bad (someday). Come to think of it, you've been consistently putting out competatively great priced amps for quite a bit. Thanks
playing for keeps is an unbelievable track man. holy moly
Great guitar player !!!! The band sound grate !!!
I'm late to the party even though I've heard his name and seen his sig Epiphone I never bothered to check out the commotion. I'm amazed the guy has any fingers left at all. Kick ass tone and the whole band just has it together.. I'm impressed
Guys, you're amazing ❤❤
Leslie should be really proud of this kid….he is smoking that Les Paul
31:14 I can hear Norwegian Wood by the Beatles. Beautiful resource! Come play in Argentina soon! Do they need management here? 😎
Dig it!
I'd really dig hearing the uncompressed version of this show......
The songs don't do much for me, but his performance is so stellar I've watched this video about a dozen times.
Yeah I feel same way I watched him at Norma guitars and guy works there blazed him. Songs voice so so his playing? Just don’t feel it I rather watch richie kotzen or
Bonamassa or gales
Luv this guy… hes. Awesome
What a good band, damn! JJN's style is pure fire, and btw nice fucking tone.
YESS!!!! ALL YOU 3 GUYS ARE BAD ASS!!!! Man young guys bringing back the pure Rock n Roll Spirit! !!!oh course its full of blues. ohh man!!!! this is right were music needs to be. MORE SIMILAR GUYS WILL EMERGE DUE TO JJN STORY AND SOUND. when he gets on there and says "i worked landscape ,saved 4gs and moved to LA" young guys need to hear that. shit i need that.
The music is phenomenal.
and what he got with blackstar is so eye opening. they done 200+ shows with the artist 30. minimal pedals. p90.
take note guys. affordable 30watter.affordable style of guitar.world tours. reliable.
one comment i always see on YT "the thickest tone ever" ,"badass tone" . its true. mid rich grab you by the neck full ass sound!!!!!!
Thanks. im a FENDER freak but i have to go with the artist series next. its versatile and portable.
Hey thanks to all yall.
Jjn thanks. blackstar.
yall got it by the old nuts boys!!!!!
Was listening to Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown and youtube fed me here. I usually listen to a lot heavier metal but this stuff is great. Def brings me back to the early 90s bluesy hair metal days. Well done.
Like Junkyard and Dangerous Toys? Texas had some ballsy blues metal in the late 80's early 90's. This guy is good, if you get a chance to catch him live, please go.
@@saltpeter7429 Yeah hadnt listened to this in 3 yrs ;p Reminds me a lot of Jake E Lee and Badlands
@@blackacidblood8861 I know Jake from the Ozzy days obviously, and I remember hearing about BADLANDS back in the day. So, now that we have the internet I can just go type em in and check it out. Thanks man!

Anyone who can make a Blackstar sound decent has got to be good in my book. 👏
This is really good.
The Best ❤
One of my new favorite bands
Love these guys as a unit. Sound fuckin’ huge. Tempted to buy and artist 30 likes. The crowd seem to be loving it too
Feckin awesome! I went to Budapest a couple of days ago to see Mr. Big's final show, then I went home with this guys record in my pocket. I loved every second of his show. Keep it going man, I'll see you next time! 👍
super guitariste et son jeux sans pick incroyable! j'adore e type! quel son!!
Love these guys!!!
You can hear his inspirations oozing theu that single Dog Ear and out the killa Blackstar. Sabbath mixed with Bonamasa and so many others. DUDES THE KENNY WAYNE SHEPPARD THAT NEVER CAME TO FULL POWER.
Damn...shits badass...new to me!!!
