Thanks for having me at the booth, guys!

[ScoopzyDaizy]

It's incredible how he owns the song. So much improvization over what's already a fantastic song. He just adds stuff on top of it, tastefully, and still misses no notes whatsoever... Love this guy.

[travenator]

Always nice to come back to this every once in a while

[colined]

This is one of the very few of these NAMM performances on youtube that I can actually sit through in its entirety. Very moving.

[bbyt]

This is possibly the most moving electric guitar piece I've ever heard. Masterful. Gave me chills.

[Avatarx]

Dude is straight kill'n ! Just the right amount of tension on his melodic lines, flawless technique and speed and yet still maintains taste(He doesn't sound like he's doing exercises) well schooled but with a street players rawness and edge! Wow !

[FrannKavila]

Who wants to see Nick Johnston and Guthrie Govan together?!!

[SuperCharleh]

Hahah that crazy legato and arpeggio bit with the open string slap at 4:42 makes me smile every time! Epic!

[sunnys]

For 6 min and 20 seconds the world around me shut down. The slight smile stayed on my face the whole time. Now THATS a captivating music and playing! N.J. is one of a kind.

[MartinCliffe]

Fabulous. I don't listen to much instrumental guitar music these days, but I have all 4 of Nick's albums and they get plenty of playing. The man has it all, great tone, great chops, and great musicality.

[undefeatedmc]

This is my favorite live performance of his, I just can't stop listening. Anyone else in 2019?

[Arch_Stanton.]

5:53 Yngwie vibe

Also, that Mesa sounds amazing. Much better than the Kemper @ Schecter booth

[stuke]

I come back to this almost daily, one of the greatest guitar performances I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot 😅

[BenOnuMuDiyorum]

It's a great pleasure to watch and listen to such artist. So obvious he is much more than a guitarist.

[FancyUnderscore]

Jesus, he has such a purely musical touch, and those runs are so clean

[maximumpainer]

Man just look at him having so much fun while playing, now this is musicianship

[valentino]

His phrasing is superb. Great player. Nothing against people like Joe Bonamassa or any of the Blues Rock guys, but they can't touch people like Nick. The skills are on a whole different level.

[LintBisquick]

12 dislikes? Wow..I like this better than the fantastic studio version. The Messiah of the guitar.

[bsill]

One of my favorite guitar players. what a humble human being...

[graysinclair]

Wow, what a splendid performance! Your chord selection and overall phrasing, combined with what “looks” and sounds like effortless playing, places you in the upper stratosphere of guitarists. What a gift you have. Thank you for sharing it with us.
