Nick Johnston - Remarkably Human - Full Album 

So cool to see so many people still listening after almost a decade. Love you guys

I'm so humbled by you guys! I can't believe so many of you are listening :') There will be a new album out in April, guys! Can't wait to share some new music with you all

Heard this for the first time in 2017... and keep coming back to it, 7 years later. Just an amazing piece of music.

This is a timeless album. Moving, cinematic songs, excellent production quality, and outstanding guitar tone. Melodic lines that stick in your head. And unlike a lot of virtuosos, Nick doesn't get lost trying to show off his chops, though he has them. Shreddy guitar is cool, but you can't express much emotion playing as many notes as possible. That's why we love songs and why we bond with them--because they evoke our emotions.

Wow, thank you all for the kind words! I am totally blown away!

Beautiful music.

The art brought me here. The music kept me here

Discovered this album two days ago. I have to say, this features some of the best guitar work I've ever listened to. I love the various influences and nuances in his playing. The guitar tone is unbelievable, with a lot of excellent tension/resolution ideas. Most importantly, emotion is present throughout the entire album. It's such an inspiring piece of art.

The animated “album” cover is a nice touch.

It's amazing when you blindly trust a youtube recommendation and you find some awesome music! Cheers, Nick!

Anyone still loving this in late 2021? Nick is one of the best melodic and dynamic players. Top notch thematic songwriting on this record. Personal favorite guitar record since Surfing With the Alien.

It’s Spring 2022 and I still find myself returning to this amazing work; it remains creative, powerful, and melodic. Thanks Nick for continuing to inspire us with your music.

Please enjoy my latest record, everyone! Consider picking up a signed copy of the album or download the tab book at nickjohnstonmusic.com :)

Dude, I just ordered your signed CD after already listening to your album more than twenty times for free for the past two weeks, as a matter of fact, I'm listening to it as I write this reply. Your stuff is so good, I started to feel guilty for not paying for it. When I scrape up some more dough I going to buy the other three and anything you record in the future. I haven't listened to an instrumental record this much since Yngwie's first album, Rising Force in 84, and yes I'm over fifty and have been trying to learn how to play the guitar off and on for over 30 years. Because of you, I've started playing again with more seriousness. My dream of one day becoming a rock star has long since past, but that's OK I don't care about that stuff anymore I have a day job, I only care about the art of guitar, and what you do is pure art. There are a lot of good players out there, but few write good music like you. You don't over play with tricks and technic. You play just enough and not too much, you play the guitar for the music, you don't write music for the guitar. So many players (I won't mention names and some are older than me) don't seem to know the difference, but you do and to know this so early in your career is amazing, I can't wait to hear what you record next.

I just discovered this and it inspires me to pick up my guitar again and again, I have been trying to learn..thanks 🙌🏼

Damn, it's been 4 years and I'm still traumatized with this album... Can´t stop listening to it! You are the best Nick!

The piano work is just breathtaking! Amazing work Nick!

Guys! The backing tracks for this record are now available here :-) nickjohnstonmusic.com/backing-tracks Thank you all so much for the support!!

Can’t stop listening,,,,,,must....press....stop... Over and over....ALL OF IT- like meandering thru a journey of stories.....most patient guitarist ever. Bravo Nick

The piano really elevates this above most other instrumentals for me.

Beautiful music and favorites musicians who inspires me everyday. Congratulations to Luke Martin

Absolutely awe-inspiring stuff Nick!

Both, the minimalism and shredding this man has the ability to compose is mesmerazing

Its one thing to make some truly inspiring pieces of instrumental guitar music., but to make an entire album that just flows across genres, moods, modes , scales and still fits together and stands the test of time. Damn Nick, this is your DSOTM. Thank you for the music.

Woah! Gavin Harrison on drums!

This is why I love youtube.....It's 2am,Im sitting here getting ready to call it a night.I gaze down my menu of choices and between another Nibiru vid and Buckethead I saw this and thought what the hell,and I clicked on it..........I feel like I found a diamond.what an incredible piece of work! Its like my ears can hear what beautiful looks like.This music feels comfortable while it takes you on these little trips that seem familiar but not cliche ever at all.Amazing mix as well,every instrument sounds rich.I know who Nick Johnston is now!Great Job this music is beautiful.

Four years later this still sounds spectacularly good. Nick, I think you've given us a classic.

One of the best guitar albums of the decade. On the shoulders of giants!

can't wait for more music from Nick Johnston

One of the best random clicks of my life, your music is awesomely soulful, thank you for sharing :)

Nick Johnson as a guitarist is similar to a master photographer taking pictures of puppies for everyone to enjoy, he could easily make music for the few but instead puts things together that most people can enjoy.

Just discovered Nick's music and I'm blown away by the entire vibe and talent of this.

Just like the old days. I liked the cover art. I randomly gave this a good listen. Great imagination. Beautiful production. Always am attracted to competent player's who have songwriting skills, who can really see their vision through. I'm going to get this CD. This is when the Internet is at it's finest. When you find real people, living their true dreams in life. Peace.

For me, this album is like a story. From the start till the end i can't stop listening.

Found this album again after 5 years. Now I can appreciate it better!

The more I listen to Nick the more I love his style and his musicality. Lots of emotions intertwine with his melodies. Simply love it.

This is so proggy ... and jazzy ... and crispy ... and ... just so lovely to listen to! I really enjoy every instrument - so cool! Thank you!

This is a breath of FRESH AIR and some serious melodic, insaneliciousness my friend!!!!

This is one of my favourite albums to show people if I'm introducing them to progressive music. It's beautifully melodic and approachable while having loads of guitar-shreddy melt-your-face-off chops. Everything sounds so emotionally rich and lyrical. Plus Gavin Harrison is one of my favourite drummers and he absolutely kills it on this record!

We needed a guitarist like you Nick! I havnt heard music like this ever.

What's your fav song off this album, guys??

Glad there continues to be imaginative guitarists who place tasteful lead work within the context of a good song with a melody instead of just non-stop mechanical shredding! Thanks Nick!

This is real music! Not just a vehicle for monster playing. Fantastic art.

First time i hear Cool Dreamy Progressive Cinematic music like that ! ❤🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶

This album legitimately gives me chills whenever I listen to it. This is amazing work, Nick!

this album is a piece of art, very tastefull licks and emotional melody in every songs.

This is so beautiful. I'm glad I've found this album. Listening to it all the time.

WOW you're a genius, an artist. Creative. Just a masterpiece.

This kept popping up again and again and again in recommendations...now I see why. Glad I decided to listen. As someone who is really kind of hard to please or impress with musicianship, I can candidly say that the world could use more of this kind of music and I'm glad you're making it. Thank you.

amazing album. It's impressive without shredding all the time. This is pure music

That freaking TONE. Those CHORD VOICINGS! I am in awe. edit: came back years later...AMAZING STILL.

Can we just take a minute and congratulate the artist for his artiwork????

Best guitar instrumental album Ive ever listened to

This is a phenomenal recording, I will buy this on amazon and recommend it to musicians who value real music, so you get some tiny fraction of the money you deserve for this.. It literally made me love instrumental fusion again, it also makes me feel like my guitar chops are pure shite and I should burn barrel all my guitars and amps... It's like listening to the four seasons for the first time only fusion and rock.. just stellar compositions and playing all around by the whole band.

Impeccable taste and phrasing. Love your stuff! Haven't heard music this good in years thanks!

Nick, you love that flat five chord change! Like B major to F major. or Em to Bb major. It's more like a movie soundtrack with legitimate guitar added. Nice stuff!

This album is still so musically and tonally interesting. I keep going back to it.

Recently discover your music, what can I say, we should learn from you, your music shows passion and humble thoughts coming from you, thanks for giving this beautiful gift for us

Congratulations Nick, Luke, Bryan, Gavin and sound team!!!! A true masterpiece .

There is so much emotion and originality in this album, it grows upon me year after year, like vintage wine.

Amazing album Nick, The moving album cover is absolutely mind blowing.

Purchased the album and still listening to this everyday - masterpiece!

I learned about you about 8 months ago and got hooked on your music quick. Your music clinics are entertaining and live music performances are incredible. The tone of your Schecter guitar is addicting. I'm a fan now for life.

Nick, you and your guitar have touched my soul. You have a Fan for life. Thank you for such beautiful music.

I discovered this album completely by chance in July 2018. Since then, I've listened to it over 20 times, and every single time it takes me on a journey. @Nick Johnston, this album is a gem, and I'm grateful for how your music has enriched my life.

I've never heard of you Nick, but this was outstanding. You can play and write beautiful music. Even the mixing is outstanding.

I am so glad I fell upon this MASTERPIECE! I could sit and listen and watch the animated cover OVER & OVER again

Ok, after listening to it a couple thousand times, I guess this is really one of the best albums I ever listened to. Thanks for this, and congrats for your beautiful work!

Wow! Im officially a fan! I love your tone btw. Its not over processed and more organic sounding. Im learning guitar myself at age 40 haha. You are an inspiration. Thanks!

Just gorgeous guitar playing. As good as it gets. Awesome

This piece is the one that sticks in my head most compared to others in the album. The guitar arrangement is so tight ... the drum is superb!!

Yesterday my ex-wife told me she loves someone else. I wanted to go back to her but knowing what she told me I decided to walk away. And then I was looking for something to get to sleep.... Soothe my pain that I feel... This music did... helped a lot. Thanks for this.

I was listening to Joe Satriani and I checked the related videos and saw this one. "Nick Johnston huh? Never heard of this guy. Let's check it out" I thought. Best click I did in a RU-vid video in quite some time. It's fuckin' awesome!! :D

Nice album :), the artwork is just perfect by the way !

I would have to say that this is one of the best instrumental albums I have ever heard.

This music is incredible. Since Jeff Beck, I haven't had such a big slap. So much musicality and technique. it's just incredible... I m a big fan

That major third in a minor scale, I will call that "Johnston note" ... Awesome.

These are the best guitar instrumental compositions I've heard in 10 years! Can't wait to hear the next album!

I love jamming along with these songs it's like a story unfolding and his guitar style transcends my wildest riffs. Thanks for creating a masterpiece

Can't stop listening Weakened by Winter. Such beautiful piece of music!!

Total Masterpiece! Incredible tone. 🎶🎸🤘🏼❤️

Perfect union between piano an guitar...

Just got recommended by youtube and fell in love from song one. Beautiful.

Was listening to NJ's music while cramming through medschool. So nostalgic hearing these tunes now!

Hey Nick Johnston, saw you in Melbourne without having ever heard you before. Usually I struggle to connect with a live performance that I am unfamiliar with but this performance was something uniquely engaging, because as a result of seeing you I went into this album feeling as though I knew half the songs already. This album is something truly remarkable. It was incredibly motivating and relaxing music for working on programming projects recently, but moreover its been giving me a knew comfort in life and I can't stop listening to it. Peace my friend and thank-you for sharing your gift to the world

Only at the 10 minutes mark as I am writing this and it is already amazingly awesome! You have indeed created another masterpiece, Nick!!! Thank you for your hard work!!

listening to this again today after who knows how many times and realizing that Remarkably Human is a remarkably great album.

I'm almost embarrassed to have only just discovered you now. I've been listening to this album over an over for the past few days and have been super inspired by your playing and songwriting. I love strong melody-driven instrumental guitar music and this is some of the best I've ever heard. It's up there with Satriani or Timmons. Keep doing what you do!

I was listing to Animals as Leaders and happend to stumble upon this beauty.

1:55 minutes into the listen and I've found a new all time favourite guitarist

Been listening to this since you dropped it. Your music is absolutely incredible and strikes the soul.

Amazing piece of work! Thanks a lot

41:54 wow, a legit Malmsteen run. I would have bet money he wouldn't throw one of those in there but nope, there it is!

Just saw you in Atlanta at the Masquerade and can't say enough positive things about your soulful, tasty compositions! Your playing reminds me of Jeff Beck, but you have a unique melodic style that is just as listenable and deep. Keep up the great work!!

These are sounds I haven't heard in my head. This will definitely end up changing my playing. I am beyond impressed.

Just stumbled on this. What a beautiful work.

Nick, man. Insane. Came back to this album again. Just amazing.

An amazing piece of work. Brilliant musicianship 🤘🏻

Great piece of music!!Beautiful guitar tones!!

Awesome...! Thanks for creating and sharing.
