  • I love how he says "I haven't used a pick in a while" and instantly plays perfectly with a pick
  • @shredhead21
    I don’t know that I’ve ever seen more passion or love for guitar in one person. He’s so incredible to watch.
  • Never heard of this guy but god damn he’s so nice and easy to talk to you can’t help but like this guy I’ll for sure be checking out more of his stuff
  • @arustydodge2111
    Jared James Nichols is a Juggernaut!!! Damn that man has incredible chops!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤘🤘
  • @J_Drix
    The amount of guitar/musician camaraderie in that room is inspiring. That’s what’s it’s about. Just feeding off of the vibe/energy and enjoying the conversations those instruments are having.
  • @RawGuitarRiffs
    One of the best interviews ever with Jared! Thank you! Also, Jared is just awesome. Myself and my daughter go to every gig he does in Nottingham and we’ve been lucky enough to meet and chat with him at every show and he always makes time for us and even acknowledges us from the stage. It genuinely feels like catching up with an old friend and we’re so grateful for his kindness! Also, he’s influenced my playing so much! Opened up a whole new world and even helped me ditch the pick! He is absolutely the real deal. Can’t wait to see him at Rock City next month! 👍🏻👊🏻🖤
  • @MikeRondeau
    What an amazing experience this was for me. Thank you for sharing this incredibly detailed interview with a very gifted man, but also a very gifted reporter. Bumps up for you brother; that interview was gold for all on the floor.
  • Tyler, you're world-class player yourself.Buddy , I love to hear you in the context of a band if you're playing or recording anything , put it up so we can hear it.
  • @erikkorhonen
    said it before and will say it again Jared is what you would get if you took Bonamassa and Wylde and made a person
  • Perfectly explains the experience that I went through from going from a pic to using my fingers for myself.Just much more natural feel.
  • JJN is like the kind of guitarist that makes all players around him follow the same vibe and sound more authentic
  • @jimlipscomb3236
    Jared's explanation of his right hand technique is so much to take in! Thanks so much for doing this.
  • @Music Is Win hey congrats man Howard Stern gave you a shout out on his show today...awesome...
  • I live in Portland Tn , Jamie Jackson, the manager of Sam Ashe texted me about him being there with the clinic , sadly I didn't get off work in time to go. Phenomenal musician. I've been playing since I was 5 , be 53 very soon , nowhere near what the decades implies. No formal lessons , ALOT of 8 tracks , albums and cassettes worn out. There's ALWAYS something else to learn especially from extremely high caliber players. Appreciate you and your channel. Thank you.
  • @knowl1969
