Nick Johnston Guitar Clinic (Schecter & Mesa/Boogie) 

Nick is one of the most original sounding guitar player i have heard in 30 years. His music is so harmonically rich and he never overplays.

he is one of a few guitarists tend to choose the best notes to play instead of nonsense fast runs. What a master!

2:45 A Cure Promised 9:31 Remarkably Human 32:30 Hypergiant 1:05:19 Atomic Mind 1:25:10 Wide Eyes in the Dark

I just realized. Remarkably Human is today’s Cliffs Of Dover for me. So much talent baked into a musically intricate, technically brilliant piece that breaths emotion and ultimately joy. An undeniable modern classic.

He could easily blow us all away with rehearsed licks but I love that he goes for fresh takes every live performance

I cannot believe how dynamic and soulful this guy can play! 😱 Speed in just the right spots! Him and Chris buck both play with such emotion and dynamics! I found myself another other worldy player. Cannot say enough good things about this guy's playing!🤘

Nick is a monster. Guitar and Piano. A delight to listen to, both interview and music.

Nick Johnston is such a legend. He got Schecter to make a strat for him that he now plays through Mesa Boogies.

I am a drummer. But if I was a guitarist, I would like to play like Nick. Outstanding artist.

This guy is by far my new favorite guitarist.

Just when I thought the studio version of Remarkably Human couldn’t get better, I found this. 🤯

Nick is so original and so ridiculously talented at everything guitar...amazing clinic!!!

So much feel, touch and control, I've been playing and listening to guitar my whole life, yet I rarely see this kind of talent and creative genius. Be grateful that we're blessed with this musician.

I have great respect for the fact that he has the tools but doesn't feel the need to use it all the time.

24:30 exactly right! Technicality is the pursuit of the novice guitarist, perfect note choice over chords becomes the pursuit of the journeyman guitarist.

What a talend! A guitarist who makes music instead of playing guitar!

I just came across Nicks music about 6 months ago and i absolutely can’t get enough of it, such a great musician and guy so grounded

Nick Is charismatic talented and seems like a very great guy. Thank you for your contribution to the music world man.

I like how these great players are so easy to talk to and not all big headed like most the 80s shredders seemed to be. I mean dont get me wrong every generation has its cool dudes and assholes.

Sitting in my favorite chair drinking Crown Royal on the Rocks listening to Nick Johnston ...thank you Canada More than makes up for Justin Bieber. Seriously though I'm a player and I very much savor the discovery of true musician's.. thank you Nick!

His sound, technique, attitude and style beyond the other young guitarist..Remarkably guitarist ever.

Today is my lucky day! I have stumbled upon this fabulous guitar player, Nick Johnston. Sometimes RU-vid can be a blessing. Wonderful playing! I now miss my old Schecter Guitar. Keep Jammin! Enjoy Life!

He plays backbeat, he phrases as long as it's good for the song, His technique is often out of the box, his fast passages are full of taste, he combines "old "school with new. And the compositions are pretty cool. A great artist. His story about being frightened when you play in front of people is very on point.., Glad he shared it. His nervousness in the beginning of the seminar covered with a little pack of snack food... :)

Just listening to wides eyes in the dark in car today, man what a leap from his first couple records..and as a keen eared gent in the room mentioned.Nick focus on strong melodic compositions with romantic feels. So refreshing and I’ll be listening to this on repeat for a few weeks!👌

Nick talking about his process of learning some of the fundamentals, it's great to hear. I still remember my joy at discovering I could play exotic-sounding stuff by playing a Phyrgian Dominant mode over a drone E or something and using octave chords to that effect - it was liberating, exciting. My musical knowledge was severely cut short compared to what I could have done, but I admire those like Nick who have taken it much further.

Brutally beautiful! 100 % control! And that Strat tone...

listening him for the first time and he is one of the best guitarists i ever seen

RU-vid recommendations turned me into Nick, from all the Distant Dream albums I listen to! Dudes freaking amaze balls.......

Nick Johnston...I like that Zappa meets Govan face.

....the part of the solo at the 8 minute mark....wow, totally wow! Thanks

Great player but what a sincere and great guy!

Sem duvida um dos guitarrista da atualidade que tem mais feeling!!!!

This man completely shaped 2019 for me.

I've click on like before I watch live because I 've already liked this video even if I didn't watch it, cause it's Nick Johnston.

The true original professional

you became my favorite I want your guitar to be my first elec guitar peace nick

I can’t believe how much I love that blackhead stock

This is how I feel when I first found Joe Satriani many years ago.

This is great. Great phrasing and tone.

Fantastic!!!

Thanks Nick for such an insightful and informative look into your techniques and tonal repertoire.Truely innovative and inspiring for all your appreciative listeners,please come to England at some point!🇬🇧🎸🎶👌

Just when I thought Remarkably Human couldn't get any better ..... incredible

This guy is wicked at that stringed instrument.

Fantastic tone

For some reason, I really want to see Nick in techwear. Edit: Just watched all of this. This is what I aspire to be; loving the guitar and being able to create the harmonies in my head. And Bernard Hermann is a movie music favorite too, since watching Jason and the Argonauts as a kid.

The funniest thing, a couple hours ago I watched a video of Nick doing a demo of one of his signature guitars for Sweetwater. It was a fresh guitar straight out of the box and it still had a whammy on it. He was like "oh I haven't played a guitar with a whammy on it in years." Let me tell you, this man had so much fun with that whammy bar for that 2 minutes demo lmao.

Backing track with two chords. Great Playing

Very cool. Always loved Nick's playing. Personality to match, now :). LOTS OF SUPER COOL ADVICE, TOO!

Great clinic and thanks for sharing. Funny and great guy with down to earth good advice. What is bad though is I only just discovered Nick Johnston recently. Terrible I know, as where have I been 😱

Opeth with a nick collaboration would be so incredible!

What a tasty player !! no words !!

Really nice to hear two songs from his latest amazing album!

Being a guitar player, raised in New Jersey and having so much respect for Nick's music and style, this is pure inspiration! Easily one of the most melodic, soulful and inspiring players this generation has ever seen.. Thank you so much for this Nick and Beau Monde Guitars!

THIS GUY IS AMAZING

Awesome...👍👍

some serious insight in this. Gonna do some serious practice when i wake up tommorow

So epic. Enjoyed every second of this.

did nick just payed stairway to heaven at 42:06 ? yes ! haha such a great musician !

Just cant get enough..!! Everything is great...

This is the first I've heard of Nick Johnstone, which is criminal actually. He is outstanding! Need to know name of second tune he plays here please.

Just gorgeous.

me queda sin palabras y la piel de gallina

What a fantastic guitar player :-)

heard Nick for the first time yesterday. I'd heard his name on an Anderton's Strat roundup video a few months ago. Just remarkable....as a composer. Maybe he'll end up doing soundtracks. Hans Zimmer on guitar. And piano.

This is awesome

My new guitar hero🥳

Wow! Takes your mind on a journey!

fantastico

New to listening to ya, Nick. I love the creativity and tone. Really like the effect of working the bridge the way you do. Keep up the good work!

dI dont believe it, a shredder that doesnt have to shred all the time, this guy has so much feel and taste. I feel like an idiot, who is this guy Ive found a new guitarist to dive into.

Would love to hear him collab with the big Marty F ;-)

Just woww.

2 people thought the dislike button was a download button

Le solo de Remarkably Human m'a mis sur le cul !!! O_o" il est incroyable et quasi improbable ! Merci Nick

New beard fits him much better

Thoroughly impressed with NJ's playing. I'm seriously considering buying a Schecter NJ Guitar. Excellent tones. I'm just trying to decide if I should buy a SSS Or HSS Model.

Brazilian guitarplayer hier! Thank for post movie of workshop by Nicky and sorry for my english. Kk

Super star!

Awesome thanks beau monde! Love it!

How high is he?! Amazing stuff🤟🏻

Haven't watched it all yet but I love how in the beginning he has the most not give a fuck attitude I have ever seen lol.

Johnston Gênio

for an intermediate player , he is ok . with a little more practice he does have potential........yea right! obviously he kills it, bad ass tasteful player

what if nick was in opeth?

Is it just me, or has the volume on youtube vids gone down? especially on ones with music.

Thank goodness for Rockwood Ont.🇨🇦

36:30 38:40 38:55

Did he actually used the Lonestar?

What's he turning/touching at the bridge?

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Social distancing before it was needed. Very nice.

What is the song at the end? Incredible!!!!!

Wowwwwww

Sorry, I missed the live show....

Wizard

At 30:50 , who is the composer the guy in the background mentions.

This needs more thumb's up!

Is he playing through the lone star ?
