+Nick Johnston Hi Nick, I first saw you on a Chappers video at namm and then found this. Congrats it's rather phenomenal and wonderful...Am a huge fan now thx and God bless!
Hey guys - you can also get the complete guitar transcription for this album (PDF and Guitar Pro files included :) ) - nickjohnstonmusic.com/tablature Thanks for the support!
DUDE, I never felt such a strong connection to a musician's style such as I do to yours, seriously, I listened to Remarkably Human by chance and loved it, and now this simply blew my mind. You're incredible Nick, best wishes.
I love your songwriting nick, you can tell you are playing from the heart, definitely some of the most soulful and emotional shredding I have come across. Keep up the great work man!
Whenever I come back to this album it makes me smile, like a lot of guitarists out there I listen to heaps of instrumental albums, and this one stands out to me melodically. Just awesome Nick!
Thank you, what a treat just seen your interview with Captain Lee and came over for a listen. I love your sympathy for what you are playing, I'm new to guitar but was a professional musician for over 15 years and I am inspired by what you play. Again, thank you.
+Martin Newsome I agree 100%, it was a great interview, Nick you're a well spoken guy an inspirational guitar player like Martin said, it was a pleasure to have watched.
After some time listening to Remarkably Human, I've put on Atomic Mind as family supper music. My daughter, 15 years old who enjoys heavy music, after few minutes of listening, said: is this the Johnston guy? So, good sir, if this was Your life dream, You've achieved it :) Godspeed
Every day many people force me again and again to lose faith in humanity, many people are dedicated only to take advantage of others, many people are determined to continue destroying the world, many others live completely focused on themselves and In the material world full of glamor, unfortunately very few inspire other people, despite all the above, your Nick, this record, your way of sharing and your disinterest in worldly things, make me regain faith in humanity. Thank you for your music, I am absolutely sure that it comes out of your heart, so it is heard, brilliant!
It was hard to write this comment. Had to do it with one hand since my other one was holding my jaw from hitting the floor. RAW TALENT!!! Love the groove man!
Such an amazing album. Last Deals of Dead Men gives me goosebumps every time and by the end of it tears are always forming. Something very emotional about that song that hits me very hard.
"Last Deals Of Dead Men" I guess i never heard a song who's making me travel so far, you are a real source of inspiration for me tho... Keep on rockin' !! I love your album
I found you because I clicked on Remarkably Human after it popped up in my recommended from Petrucci's solo album Suspended Animation. You rock Nick, got some great records. I am now a fan. From one aspiring musician to an actual professional musician, keep rockin
Having never heard this album before, I could tell it was Nick Johnston by the first listen as it popped in my UA-cam playlist, without looking at the screen. Such a stand-out artist.

Hey Nick, que gran trabajo, no te conocia, ahora te escucho y haces que tu guitarra sea un poema que nunca se cansa uno de recitar. Alberto from Barranquilla, Colombia.
Some of the sweetest blues licks I've ever heard around 42:00 I thought I was going to cry but it was just the onions. well on your way to greatness Nick.
I absolutely adore Nick's playing! A rare and unique talent for sure! Can't stop listening. As a matter of fact I will not stop listening. Thank you Mr. Johnston!
Definitely one of the best albums I've ever heard..absolutely amazing !! Flawless technique, stunning melodic solos and...a little Govanish touch, couldn't ask for more !! Thank you for this ear candy Nick !!!
I think this album tells a story of a man that's not particularly good not bad. He does bad things, and he does good things. He hangs out with bad people, he helps good people. And the whole time, he's trying to figure out who he really is, and which side he's really on. But in the end, he just knows he's himself, and that's good enough for him.
You are amazing man. Thanks for giving this out for free for people to listen to. I've been a student up till now. Cant wait for my first salary just so that I can buy your music and support artists like you!!!
You are amazing :) I can't stop listening to this while doing any mechanical work :) My favorite was Lost in a Dream ... my most favorite was Ghost of the Robot Graveyard .. Please keep up the great work ..
hi there nick (really hope you see this comment ) first of all i just wanna say this album is astonishing.That's a great piece of art second i wanna say thank you because u completely inspired me to change the way of how i play/improvise and how i write my own music so i hope u keep inspiring people as u did in the past three albums cheers :')
dude, this is one of the best things I ever heard. This is not "my kind" of music, but u are just pure musicality (my english is not really good xD). This is amazing.. for real this is really amazing. technicaly and musicality everywere. Is like andy timmons (not the style). the technic use for making real music, and omg, u have some real talent making melodies (or better say... u have so much melody inside of you). Will share this, and buy it sometime, you really deserve it!
Nice playing... nice music.. ?! Your music is definitly an Art.. Why some of these music are not known and understood by everybody in earth ? Keep rocking, welcome from france !
I love this album! You are a super expressive guitarist, without doubt the best guitarists that this century gave! I send you my regards and my admiration from Argentina, you are an influence for me as a guitarist !!
When I listened to Remarkably Human, I was like "oh I have to buy it when I'm off work!" and then I listened to Atomic Mind and went all "screw work, I'm buying this right now!" ... yeah and so I did. Totally bought the two albums from my workstation, because I couldn't contain myself :D
A return to good Strat-Marshall tone with medium gain, including song-writing/composition, where technique and shred-flash serve the purpose of providing a structural or climactic function for the song. Refreshing and compelling.
How is it possible that I took so long in discovering your music?! You´ve adquired a new fan from Peru, congrats Nick this is one of the best records i´ve ever heard 11/10* !!!
From the first time I heard Nick, I thought that, somehow, he knew the Aristocrats. But to have worked with them....wow I love all things Nick Johnston Thank you for your contribution to modern day music. You and Guthrie are, for me, the top two, today ! Cheers ^_^
Instrumental of the year! Ladies and gentemen, Mr. Nick Johnston. You're one of my biggest inspirations, I jam with this all the time. Congragulations. Greetings from México.
Lots of melody and natuaral sound. Great album. Relaxed form, fusion approach. Recognizeable Howes flavour in several moments. Nice to listen for a non-guitarist as well.
Darek Wawrzyniak Thanks for sharing this on facebook, Love the album. My favorite songs after first play thru was Atomic Mind, Ghost of the Robot Graveyard and My Final Days on a doomed planet. Nicely done Nick Johnston

Thanks for the support!
Nick Johnston Please do a Playthrough for Ultra Force! Its too good
+Nick Johnston Still bought on itunes :). Man, you've got to make a video playing Ultraforce!!!
I suggest to release a backing track album. Many players might need it.
Jesus ... ''Last deals of dead men''.....STRAIGHT FROM THE SOUL BROTHER...GOD BLESS YOU MAN!
I second that backing track
The last two full albums were just what i needed. First paycheck from a new job and i'm paying for them.
DUDE, I never felt such a strong connection to a musician's style such as I do to yours, seriously, I listened to Remarkably Human by chance and loved it, and now this simply blew my mind. You're incredible Nick, best wishes.
My new favorite guitarist 🎸
a friend turned me on to Atomic Mind and now it is almost all I can listen too. Wonderful guitarist.
I just discovered this guy and feel like I have been living under a rock because of it. Incredible guitar player and musician in general.
I love your songwriting nick, you can tell you are playing from the heart, definitely some of the most soulful and emotional shredding I have come across. Keep up the great work man!
Whenever I come back to this album it makes me smile, like a lot of guitarists out there I listen to heaps of instrumental albums, and this one stands out to me melodically. Just awesome Nick!
Silver Tongued Devil: Nick Johnston meets The Aristocrats! Just spectacular.
Bryan Beller sent me here, so glad he did. This is a beautiful body of work, can't even pick a favourite. Good on you.
Its so hard to find speedy and articulate guitar players that are also approachable. Kudos to you bossman, you're a rare breed.
you, Steven Wilson and Guthrie Govan are my favorites
Thank you, what a treat just seen your interview with Captain Lee and came over for a listen. I love your sympathy for what you are playing, I'm new to guitar but was a professional musician for over 15 years and I am inspired by what you play. Again, thank you.
+Martin Newsmen Thanks, Martin!
+Martin Newsome I agree 100%, it was a great interview, Nick you're a well spoken guy an inspirational guitar player like Martin said, it was a pleasure to have watched.
Martin Newsome go see him on tour with plini & david maxim micic! theyre coming soon!!
Fell in love with 'Ghost Of The Robot Graveyard'... Such cool playful melody and amazing soloing!! Really superb
Silver-tongued devil with Guthrie - RAD! (Yeah, I'm old...so what of it?) Really enjoying Scoundrel's Lounge at the moment.
Great music Mr. Johnston!
Crazy good! Man, you shall be way more global! Your music is literally the background of my days sometimes.
10 tahun baru denger lagu ini.. kemana aja?,,
After some time listening to Remarkably Human, I've put on Atomic Mind as family supper music. My daughter, 15 years old who enjoys heavy music, after few minutes of listening, said: is this the Johnston guy?
So, good sir, if this was Your life dream, You've achieved it :)
Godspeed
Haha that’s funny! Thanks for the kind words

Last Deals Of Dead Men - definitely one of the most beautiful and cozy guitar instrumentals ever to be made!
Ghost of the Robot Graveyard is so catchy!
outstanding album rusty colly brought me here......hidden artist..full of melody
Great album, beautiful melodies.greetings from Greece!!
It was hard to write this comment. Had to do it with one hand since my other one was holding my jaw from hitting the floor. RAW TALENT!!! Love the groove man!
Such an amazing album.
Last Deals of Dead Men gives me goosebumps every time and by the end of it tears are always forming.
Something very emotional about that song that hits me very hard.
around 20-24mn ... my god ! this duet with Guthrie is so beautifull .. in loop in my head .
The opening of My Final Days On A Doomed Planet screams James Bond at me, LOVE IT!
"Last Deals Of Dead Men" I guess i never heard a song who's making me travel so far, you are a real source of inspiration for me tho... Keep on rockin' !! I love your album

Here from patdavidmusic and he’s right, this really is incredible music. Tells a story, such skill and talent ❤️

I hate social media and all that shit. The only reason why I love it is because you can find phenomenal music without even looking for it
amazing album. imho the best instrumental i've heard... and i've been listening since the early 90's...
this is a fantastic piece of music! Well done, Nick!
Lovely, wonderful melodies. I also like how Marco and Bryan collaborate in a way that makes the songs get more lively.
OMG! One of the best things I've ever heard! Very interesting music. Not boring at all. And you're friend's of Guthrie!
How beaultiful is the first music "Atomic Mind". I listen to it every day.
A tasteful album with a nice track contribution (and jam) by Guthrie Govan!

Hey Nick, que gran trabajo, no te conocia, ahora te escucho y haces que tu guitarra sea un poema que nunca se cansa uno de recitar.
Alberto from Barranquilla, Colombia.
This definitely sounds Johnston-Like. The best of the Johnstons.
Some of the sweetest blues licks I've ever heard around 42:00
I thought I was going to cry but it was just the onions.
well on your way to greatness Nick.
Just clicked to find this. I am not disappointed in the least. This is awesome work and I'm in love with the acoustic work at the start of the album

I think this album tells a story of a man that's not particularly good not bad. He does bad things, and he does good things. He hangs out with bad people, he helps good people. And the whole time, he's trying to figure out who he really is, and which side he's really on. But in the end, he just knows he's himself, and that's good enough for him.
Mild Menace when you're high af xD
Atomic mind, baby.. :D

I think any music that can evoke such imagery in one's mind is a success. Very cool.
Isn't that basically the story of every single man who ever lived?

This is great stuff . Each guitar player I listen to has certain nuances to their style that give me the bumps .
My favorite track is " My Final Days On a Doomed Planet " There is such a a nice vibe in that song :D

Amazing awesome sound brother.
Amazing album and work - i would love an actual CD
When I listened to Remarkably Human, I was like "oh I have to buy it when I'm off work!" and then I listened to Atomic Mind and went all "screw work, I'm buying this right now!" ... yeah and so I did. Totally bought the two albums from my workstation, because I couldn't contain myself :D

Greetings from México.
My God there is not 1 Bad song on this record. I think this is going to be the first MP 3 Album i will ever buy on amazon.
One of my favorites from now on, very refreshing to a music fan ears, saludos desde
Mexico Nick.
Lots of melody and natuaral sound. Great album. Relaxed form, fusion approach. Recognizeable Howes flavour in several moments. Nice to listen for a non-guitarist as well.
This is amazing. No idea why there is only 167k views and only 2400 likes.
Cool album - really dig that blues-rock flavor with some modern playing elements. PErfect fit with my taste. Awesome stuff! :)
Darek Wawrzyniak Thanks for sharing this on facebook, Love the album. My favorite songs after first play thru was Atomic Mind, Ghost of the Robot Graveyard and My Final Days on a doomed planet. Nicely done Nick Johnston
James Brock Thanks!
