looking forward to it! Your music is a breath of fresh air Nick. From listening to Becker, Friedman, Satriani, Malmsteen, Stephan Forte, Andy James, etc, I've been stuck on your music lately over those guys... something about it is just raw, fresh, and soulful. Thanks man.
Enjoy the new track, guys! Please consider pre-ordering a signed CD, or a tab book through nickjohnstonmusic.com/ :) (iTunes: itunes.apple.com/ca/album/remarkably-human/id1144324634)
"Just when you think it can't get no better then it does, it's always so much better then it ever was Seems like all the good things come at once, yes they do, and just when you think it can’t get no better then it does" -John Hartford
05:44 What have you done Nick ? :( This isn't a song. This is history of something. This is love, breaking, kindness, brutality, justice, life, happyness, sadness. This is something, the story you want to hear. Thanks man!
One of the cleanest player I have ever heard. And he makes it look effortless AF. Superb. After years of the same shit something new. Except Guthrie. That guy does his own thing too. Massive.Respect for Nick.
Just amazing! One of my favorite things about your playing is the dynamics and feel you have. The way you let it breathe..its not forced. You really let the sound of the guitar shine
Hey Nick~ you made Shazam/Siri with this tune today! My daughter asked how famous you were and if Siri would know this- and Siri did (via Shazam)! Sweet! Now you might have actually made it earlier- but we tried it today! She (Siri) was even able to identify it during the solo- that's amazing and says how unique and awesome your soloing is indeed!
position Nick! The main melody is so catchy and the delay used in the middle of the track is amazing. Love the bluesy/SRV influence and modern improvisations in the song too..
I like how despite how the licks are simple and not the world's fastest or most technical, They're soulful; looking at the comments, we all just like how relaxed and fun to listen to it is. It's a good song. I like the chords and the melody is simple and nice
I think most people try to hard to be technical and fast a different and here we hear a simple progression with a simple melody and it just works. Nick is one favorite guitarist. It's the simple things like his switching of modes and scales that make him so good
Remembered the quote by David Gilmour "My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there"
@@ggh_-ts6pn same thing with phil collins as a drummer... I guess thats what those televised subliminal messages do to people brains haha. There is so much talent hidden all over the world, almost none of us actually get to tour further than a few local blocks, then some idiot writes a song called "I can't dance" to make my childhood awkward...
@@ggh_-ts6pn People respond to the amount of emotion transmitted - not the technique. Music is an emotional medium. If technique ruled, then shredders will all sit atop the rankings of great guitarists, which isn't remotely the case. Having seen Gilmour three times, along with countless other great guitarists, he completely dominates in one aspect: being the most "epic" guitarist I've ever seen. And that's mostly about getting the most emotional content in his playing. No one who knows music rates him "best", but they sure as fuck don't call him "overrated"
@@ggh_-ts6pn what an arrogant comment! You can say you don't like his playing, but he is widely regarded as one of the best melodic rock guitarists/composers by people who are more knowledgeable than you will ever be. Give some respect kid
Nick Johnston you sir are awesome ! fun fact my mom was in the adjacent room, she was like this sounds so majestic and subtle too. Amazing loving every bit of it.
It took me forever to look for the dude who was laying down some badass guitar with Polyphia, and I'm sorry I waited so long. After listening to your music here on UA-cam for a few weeks, I decided that it's only fair to support your music, so I just bought your four albums. Hopefully the new album is signed, but if not, I'll live. I eagerly await your next release, whenever that happens.
Nick that was simply incredible. You are an unbelievable talent. I absolutely loved this and just got lost in it. Cannot wait to hear the whole album. You're one of the best man!!
For me this makes me feel, like a journey into darkness as it’s illuminated by light. In the beginning things are mysterious and not certain but curiosity and the drive to gain more or become more keeps us going until we realize we’ve become trapped in a beautiful lie and there’s no escape so we’re just along for the ride. Then finally the road ends only to realize we’re back where we started. We can either sit here or get back on the road to nowhere Chasing dreams as time goes round and round. Until you realize it’s not about where your going or where you’ve been it’s all about where you are, and finally we are set free to fly, feel and just be. Unknowingly trapped in that all so beautiful white lie where is all began. We make friends with it, live with it, the lie becomes who we are and and Un distinguishable from our own selfs and so it is, and so it is.
I keep returning to the three minute mark. The entire song is wonderful but at three minutes he becomes unhinged! I am so happy this guy showed up on the suggested songs a few days ago.
Nick Johnston is writing the best instrumental songs I've ever heard. And I listen to a lot of instrumental music. I'm just sorry cause his CDs are so difficult to find. It's a shame. I would like to buy several copies and give them to my friends.
gotta buy all the albums and put them in the same shelf with Gary Hoey, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai... Absolutely Love this stuff.
Thank you guys for all the kind words! Can't wait to show you the full album in a couple weeks!
cant wait for the full album... Love your work !! its Amazing :)
looking forward to it! Your music is a breath of fresh air Nick. From listening to Becker, Friedman, Satriani, Malmsteen, Stephan Forte, Andy James, etc, I've been stuck on your music lately over those guys... something about it is just raw, fresh, and soulful. Thanks man.
good sound man, 😊
I can hear your soul on your music.. beautiful piece of art! Greeting from Indonesia.
Nick Johnston , U R AMAZING!
What an Album

Will be doing both. Amazing playing, amazing composition.
When are you going to open for The Aristocrats?
Is it a semitone down tuning?
No comment.. an incredible song of an incredible artist! Thanks a lot
This is the kind of guitar music I WANT to hear. It's like it's written for me.
darude sandstorm was written for you too, mah dude!
Dynamic and emotional playing, something you don't see often among shredders.

What have you done Nick ? :(
This isn't a song. This is history of something. This is love, breaking, kindness, brutality, justice, life, happyness, sadness. This is something, the story you want to hear. Thanks man!
This should be mandatory viewing for all the shredders out there.
Alguem em 2022???? Que música linda, com muito sentimento.... A musica literalmente fala com vc. S2
Dam this guy is just fucking amazing! His tone,sound, style and shred playing is so unique and different from other shredder! He should be famous!
This guy needs more publicity. This stuff is gold
Bestial
Its 2019 and I'm still playing this on repeat.
Rupam Talukdar 2020 still on repeat.
Im a time traveller and still enjoy this in to the future.
For over 1.5 years cant stop listenning to nick....
I’m still here in 2022. Now we’ve got Osmanthus and Archival on top of all of the solo stuff
The mixing/mastering on this is phenomenal. And the playing doesn't even need any remarks.
Jordan Valeriote. Thank him. :)
The album was mixed by Jordan Valeriote and mastered by Jens Bogren.
also having freaking Gavin Harrison playing the drums does wonders for the sound
4:09 made me feel something beyond feeling. wow
I'm loving the fact that the songs are getting longer and longer. More Nick for everybody!
One of the cleanest player I have ever heard. And he makes it look effortless AF. Superb. After years of the same shit something new. Except Guthrie. That guy does his own thing too. Massive.Respect for Nick.
From india ??? Me too... And i love Nick as well , fuckin awesome talent... His tone kills everything
You spoke my mind
Have you checked Plini and Owane? There's a lot of great guitarrists/musicians out there. Nick Johnston is amazing!
@@zezuntxiduntxi yeah been listening to owane. Just amazing. Plini, Aaron Marshall, owane. All of these.
Always late to the party.
Beautiful.
There are not too many musicians in the world whose each and every song is listenable... Salute to your genuisness Nick..
Wonderfull.....this is Music, He is the Maestro!
I won't say this is the best song i have ever heard because this statement is true for all Nick Johnston songs. Salute you.
please stop it !!! it's too good. Go and by the album guys, he's a master. sensibility is on every single note. thx NJ.
Really digging the use of piano on the two most recent releases.
beautiful song
Blown away dude, these new tunes are a whole new level. Still recovering from Remarkably Human and you hit us with another monster tune!
This is true liric music!!! Wonderfull melody line. Not just showing off with speed and technique. It`s just the way I love it. Thanks!!!
Your phrasing...is Just amazing...and sliding.....Amazing...God Given Gift...My Bro
Holy shit this is so good I get shivers from this
That guitar is _singing_
I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of this
Listening this song again and again. It never gets old. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Just amazing! One of my favorite things about your playing is the dynamics and feel you have. The way you let it breathe..its not forced. You really let the sound of the guitar shine
one world SICK!!!
This man predicted corona 4 years ago
Oooh my God, beautiful beautiful music!!!
Nick Jhonston amazing world guitarist.

This is far from simple. He just makes it look simple to the uninitiated. Maybe you mean it's not lightning-fast like Malmsteen.

Kinda same situation except nick can shred incredibly in a very unique and tasty way
david gilmour is overrated. Its always people who don't understand music who think he is the best.

Tears of Joy
That 5:52 - 6:08
OH my God God.
Dude your tunes are always so melodic with very soulful, slowly played parts mixed with impressive fast runs. Respect and keep rocking !!!
Beautiful Feeling...
I would cry but I'm much to masculine.
simply beautiful
The main melody is oh so good.
J-M
For real tho

This god damn song is so freaking good. It's the kind of song you listen to until you hate it.

very good!
So much feel.
WONDERFUL AND MAGIC
Very good record! No loudness war here, I can really blast my hifi with this
So much feeling in such a simple melody. Honestly it's a mazing.
You know sometimes he sounds kinda like Petrucci from Dream Theatre.
whatupguys1 DREAM THEATER*!!!!!
Sure, if Petrucci had taste and restraint.
Awesome !! Thanxxx good feeling sounds 👍😊🎸🎵🎶‼️
Nick Johnston very good, congratulations
