    The harmony, the ornaments, the time feel, the vibrato, the low gain with the single coil and those dynamics... Just one of the most expressive guitar players I've never listened to.

      Jdime lee goku couldn't agree more. No one else out there is this expressive. Love his playing but his writing is really second to none.

      Bond is a rich, shifty and selfish character. He is hedonist, which could have a normal Way... But he does IT while everybody should die, who dont serves England (the UK). For me its annak arrogant idol of anglo-saxon imperialism, like CIA agents mostly also ín films...

    Hey Nick !I do have 'A Sick and Injured Brain', had a stroke last January and since that episode, can't play guitar anymore (been playing it for 40+years). So, it is a pleasure seeing and hearing someone still doing it. Thank you for sharing!
    ps Also got rid of my beloved Strat ( American Standard Deluxe), can't play it anymore..Always been a fan of the single coil sound. Keep up the good work!

      Raff e Ell like a Neapolitan minor scale.

    • @RafFail47
      @RafFail47 7 років тому

      Cody Markley 1:31 is a descending whole tone scale. The other stuff he's playing is like the top part of the melodic minor scale, except he doesn't lower the seventh like you would expect him to on the way down.

    • @codymarkley8372
      @codymarkley8372 7 років тому +1

      Raff e Ell .... If your sure, either way, such a sweet player. like come on, I don't think anyone out there, even Guthrie, let's the composition direct the flow. someone said it on here he is gilmourish in a way.

    • @codymarkley8372

  • @marklott4355
    @marklott4355 6 років тому +6

    NICK JOHNSTON should give a class along with ANDY TIMMONS on how crucial it is to use the "selector switch" with tasteful phrasing. Although the solo starting a 3:38 is not long and flashy,but it has so much to say. Especially with the tonal changes and smooth overdrive. Mr. Johnston went to work on this one!

Best wishes from Isrsel!
