A strat body guitar, strat set pickups, and a guy who really know how to play and sound like a proper strat. If Leo Fender is still alive, he will probably mention Nick Johnston as one of his fav strat player.

@chanceboney9785 9 жыл бұрын

God damn, Nick's attention to detail on each one of those notes is perfect! It's like he knows how to take care of each note as it's being voiced to make it really shine, and at the same time be ready to introduce the next note or phrase he's about to drop. Never ceases to blow my mind.

@diazzsama 9 жыл бұрын

Chance Boney yes, especially when he did staccato with slight off beat notes. That was heaven.

One awesome guitar player !!!!! Man I love stuff like that with tons of feeling in it .we need more guitar players to bring back the emotional aspect of the guitar. We have some amazing musicians (guitarists) nowadays that can not express themselves like this but they are very technical

@josejalaeno73 2 жыл бұрын

Plini is another great guitarist I recommend, that has both technical skill and can express himself wonderfully too. His album “Handmade Cities” is my personal favorite

first time i hear nick i said WOW! My favorite guitarist from last 15 years, fantastic vintage singole coil tone, few gain and perfect control, awesome songwriting, tecnique and tons of feeling! Usually i don't comment video sponsored by product, because usually it's seem to be only demo with no musical value, but this time i' m impressed! Great nick i will follow you

@TheShinyShow 7 жыл бұрын

Man, the amount of times he changes pickup is immense! He'll change for one note, and switch straight back, or only for the bent part of the note. Watch through the entire song just looking at the pickup selector.

@Dreamdancer11 6 жыл бұрын

Yep...want a smooth tone for a phrase?...neck..want to dig in even for just a bend?bridge...and all in between...to all that also count the volume knob...you set up your sound so that you get mid volume(at 5 or 6) the tone you want...and when you open it up completely( to ten) your boost tone....you know things like that that actually matter if you play a strat type guitar with strat type pickups.....

Man, your guitar playing is good enough for the both of us. I think you're using theory and anti theory to create chaos in the midst of your fantastic riffs. I wish someone would just label some of your music videos with the scales you're playing like subtitles, then I'd be able to learn much faster.

Nick is one of my favorites! His last three albums are masterpieces, and in the latest one he sings! His USA Schecter has a solid Wenge neck and custom would pickups - plays and sounds great for $3k. His import Diamond series is about $750 and plays and sounds better than any other guitar in that range except maybe the PRS Silver Sky SE John Mayer.
