Nicholas Scott- Guitar Idol 2009 Final Entry

[ventalla]

really nice technique and intriguing style. Subscribed hoping to listen more of your amazing creations. Great job!

[IamDoplerman]

Best entry ever.

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

@tritonseventyfive Fuck off.

[XXXERXXES]

@MisterNicholasGuitar You Fuck the Fuck Off, this is Triton's Dad.

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

@XXXERXXES wtf is your problem and who is triton?

[kar98ksniper]

many people cant understand good music.this is good music and i CAN understand this.Pretty good work m8

[guitarristandlover1]

soy yo oh enalgunas ocasiones este tipo estaba fuera de tiempo/ritmo??

[MrStrato88]

very unorthodox style that why i like it,and i seldom make comments in Youtube

[kuwarikutti]

2:14 what was that??

[ziazaidi3]

Why does this have so many dislikes?

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

@ziazaidi3 Because it was written for a competition and there were a lot of bitter people in that competition, rather than supportive competitors, unfortunately. It's ok though, I'm happy with it :)

[ziazaidi3]

@MisterNicholasGuitar That's just sad man.

[willymak7]

@ziazaidi3 haha because this is lame. there is no soul or feeling in this guitar playing. decent technique and good skill but just another bedroom warrior.

[ziazaidi3]

@willymak7 suit yourself :) imo this is a fantastic composition, very outside-the-box. and this just isn't the traditional "soul and feeling" type of genre :)

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

@willymak7 Funny, cause this was written over 3 years ago...

[liuwenzi]

this is the good one

[racerx3065]

thought it was a neil zaza signature for a moment

[shardprime]

Edgy. Diggit! :0

[DerekBeck87]

you're skilled and it's unique it takes a while to like it but at the end as a player I can say you're a very talented player it's mathematics on guitar :)

[kakashigaiden3]

IMHO this is pure genius. There's not a single part I don't like, I would enjoy listening to more of your stuff :D

[ramiropohle]

maybe some frank gambale influence ? nice song

[olivierjaquet]

your style is very unic, keep it, that's how you can be famous

[nativebrother]

Your music sounds Buckethead-ish, I like it, but you totally have your own style.

[JohnChaosVirtue]

Man this is so interesting. Where do you get that inspiration? Great song and playing.

[faithtwelve]

I cannot believe this guy didn't win....the song is complex on so many levels, those judges just had no friggin clue, just amazing.

[ctcassidy]

Wow, this puts the "pro" in progressive rock, man. Nicely done. And thanks, I've just quit playing guitar for the last time!

[shravanrulez]

Fuck... that was a very interesting trip.. its because of people like you that human evolution actually takes place. AWESOME!! :) :)

[metalsg]

the drumming sometimes felt annoying, but the guitar playing and the song are awesome, my regards from brazil.

[bensooty1]

i have only just been told about you by one of my youtube friends who i believe you know quite well " mark " or Markatier... i can only say that you should have won that competition... some nice work there nick.. regards phil from the uk..

[DiminishedTB]

Really like the prog style man, really like it

[TheSlayersBand]

what kind of music you say this is?

[thorodinson89]

Chuck Norris would have to use tabs for this song

[DaveBRocks]

Hey Nicholas, gr8 song! i really love the dark sound and prog style. The lick at 0:24 reallt drives me crazy, did u used a whammy? well i'd really like to understand which chords and scales are u using, it's so strange to me, cause everything in this song seems so "atonal"...

[iodo2004]

Fantastic & very original - a clear winner IMO...u r awesome dude, hats off!

[liakalos23]

Wow that incredible song ... I have seen other competitors of this GI2009 and they are good but your technique and creativity should have deserved the first place.

Very good material.

[DiabolusEnGuitar]

holy shit man, i am so glad i came across this video. original to say the least

[brandonbush1]

1:55-2:02 is beaUtiful!

[MsPochos]

Cooll, also see this man called "MArcel JAramillo"...

[blackiejones]

Somebody explain how he didn't win?

[heroofguitar322]

kinda sounds like if Rush met Dream Theater

[Acidic0man]

ever hear of Animals as Leaders?

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

@Acidic0man Indeed I have! Cool band.

[frannyp46]

I bet Mastadon would love this guy!

[itscoolbro2]

The only reason he wasn't accepted is cause the backing band couldn't handle the awesomeness that was the backing track.

[ZicoChainRule]

That Was Brilliant.

Pure Brilliant.

REminds Me of the Old disjointed Dreamtheater/Buckethead stuff.

Oh yeah It kicked ass.

Better than the Sonic the hedgehog Tune that won...

[chinaguitar20]

guitar idol is to small for this man you are great guitar player you dont need that kind of boring comercial shits like guitar idol you've done something great on style and playing !!!

[choadchafer]

way too much delay for you maybe, but he thinks its cool and i think it sounds sick you can not have too much of anything its taste bunghole

[Awaketime]

awesome!!!



[Aceofdiamonds01]

i can see that you could easily have done a similiar entry to everyone.. but you were original! i liked to listen too it

[kimrock7]

...of all the entries your sound catches my ears and being said u deserve to win, kudos \w/\w/

[shreddy412]

Points for originality. Gotta give him that at least.

[ConspX]

@DigitalGideon Well that's the guy's choice of sound you can't blame him for that. I personally find it awesome

[Fluffypopcicle]

pwnage on an epic level. love it!

[CommBreakDown]

very dark my friend. great playing. and every at high speeds u managed to hold on the that dark intesity of the melody. congrats

[bakedbean1232]

Thats a dam clever song. Nice work

[pippomazzocchio]

you are new music trend...vry strong bravo from italy

[tompouceuh]

Is there anybody who would be able to tell in me with with modes/scales does he play? Thanks

[guitarttimman]

Great playing Nick! You are one very incredible musician.

Peace, and good luck on everything you do!

[AyanRafique]

I absolutely LOVE how the shawn lane impossible chord caused feedback in the amp and made a screech. That was amazing! Everything was so unpredictable, and yet everything fit in together nicely. Awesome!! I also loved the camera work in this. One must admire the amount of work put into this!

[AyanRafique]

My eyes have fallen off, but I will not get them until I have heard this atleast 3 times!!

[DigitalGideon]

WAY too much delay and verb.

[777stevo]

I'm blown away that was just awesome!!!!!

[idontbelieveok]

you're great!

i hope I can achieve this level of guitar playing!

[PurlySmokn]

reminds me a little of mastadon, but nothing at all, it just goes a little bit of everywhere

[PurlySmokn]

gorgeous, fuckin hats off man, feel that sound

[wicky1992]

Guitar playing was real nice, and sounded just out of this world o.O Nice job

But seriously, how did you film all that? Did you have to set it all up? At one point it looked like you were playing outside at night with the lamp behind you or something, but you can't have plugged in there. True? (3:43)

Nice vid!

I'm making guitar vids as well, but yours looks really professional

And obviously, as you hear from everyone, sick playing ;)

[CharlyTejeda]

Grosoooo cheeee,muy bueno y creativo.!!! Yeah yeah compositor.

[BrantFortunate]

damn, it was just a couple years ago when I seen you rockin with the pep band, and now you're one of the best guitarist in the world, in my opinion.

[Pblack476]

great sound man... i really love the whole concept. Growing up listening to progressive music makes me appreciate your sound even more. You don't just use broken tempos but you apply a lot of that shawn lane outside sounds to the melody and harmony. Don't ever stop playing man! ;)

[smoovegittar]

Composition interesting, but too layered for my taste. Still, I REALLY appreciate your skills and hope to haer more!

[unrealtIII]

never heard anything like that before, really awesome man, u rock. this is real talent (Y)

[RedCell24]

This just goes to show that any "Idol" contest is nothing more than a popularity contest, not a true measure of skill and talent. Way too much off the wall stuff for me to hold on to but DaMM that dude is Good.

[highrollerzzz]

If you had played this live, there would be dead people :)

[poofypot]

@highrollerzzz YEESSS!!! i couldnt put it any better!!

[deathwalker23]

i see u have met planet x! nice... (and i mean the band)

[oscar7557]

i still think this song is the most amazing guitar song i've ever heard. seriously Shawn Lane was like "WTF, even i couldn't find a song to put that chord in!"

[metalpraxis]

that language you choose in your playing, is really not what Im used for, but still, I think it was awesome !

[mbracerh]

If Jack Thammarat was the winner, who was the shitty judges,some old fags with tinnitus and soft ears,this much more original

[merdenio]

hipnotize me!!!

[merdenio]

the song is good, i feel satan is calling me.

[itscoolbro2]

I guess the judges don't appreciate a awesome progressive song.

[TooMoLeft]

Truly amazing! Let me know if you ever play Joplin, MO!

[Tzevi89]

have you ever listened to "Pinkly Smooth"

i think you would LOVE it... check them out honestly..

based on your eerie style.. you would love their sound

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

Wow thank you for showing me them! I really enjoy their song Mezmer. =)

I love eerie music.

[Tzevi89]

you're welcome...

the guitar player is the one from Avenged Sevenfold. and the singer is the drummer in Avenged too...

so you'd like some A7x songs as well.

Enjoy :)

[imamyt1]

tryin to get my brain to calm down after this bad ass ride!

[jacosmith86]

I agree with most everyone here that the reason you didn't win was that you actually kicked too much ass and wrote an original song that didn't use a frickin "I-IV-V-I" chord progression. This was a ballsy entry and deserved the win, no doubt. Way to not be a fag.

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate all of your words more than you guys can imagine.

[guitarralaraja]

@MisterNicholasGuitar i think exact the same man.. honestly,, i know that obviously you wanted to win,, but sometimes its better to do something original,, and everybody recognizes that!!

this is fucking original, the progressions are very prog, and the solo and phrasing too...

greetings from chile, a country of excellent musicians...

listen to "octopus" is a prog chilean band.

[petiethepitt]

I agree with MR jacosmith86,in that you posted something way different than all the predictable entries for the most part by others.Not to trash anyone that did enter as there are allways great players to be found.But IMHO you deserved the win based on amazing/// technique,originality,great structure///It takes balls to put something out there knowing its gonna sound different which in a contest isn't the safest way to go,Hat Tip to ya brother.

[oilkills]

@petiethepitt

And Kudos to Nick for mentioning the Shawn Lane chord at 3:35!

That was a pleasant Unexpected Surprise!!!

[JMorr1029]

@jacosmith86 jack thammarat is definateley the better player, but i can't deny that this is original. not exactly my taste, but original.

[losmazeman]

At last! Something original. Brilliantly executed as well.

[tomroffey666]

man you are so tight. your timing is perfect!!

[tomasitoesdeDios]

bro the u didnt won is because this kind of music is for you and me and a couple of ppl only! lol ^^ pretty Crimson Like, noob fans of Guitar Idol cant understand it

[abigor731]

you didn't make it because your backing trak wasn't gay enough

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

Why thank you. haha.

[jackofwack]

Great playing, great tone, some INTERESTING but good sweeps around 1:20 - 1:38. I'm also loving your 12th fret inlay. what guitar is that, dont attack me if I'm wrong but the body looks a bit like a prs custom 24? :O

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

It's an Souped up Ibanez SZ series. Got lots of custon work done to it, but that's the inlay that came with it.

THANKS!

[viddelt]

I find this music genre intresting.. Whats it called this type of genre?? :)

[jakeshred]

prog

[IndraMrz]

frank zappa rulez...

[SlavesShallServe6]

Fantastic phrasing, dude.

[nicosavage]

btw... nice stretching chords

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

Thank you!

[nicosavage]

2:56 love that stop dont know why :)

[aaronbergAPB]

This competition must have some anti-American bias. There's no way you shouldn't have went to the finals. I don't like Guitar Idol anyway. You're way beyond contest level, ApB

[ewhoa1]

I love the dissonant parts and the parts of really tight melody, wonderful job mate, good luck!

[ahcmrock]

O men You dont like me...you play awfull

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

Right on man. Thanks for the useful constructive criticism. Your name?

[NightChariot]

very unique. sometimes it sounds like new era of king crimson. thanks for that piece of music. you've got my vote !

[oindgf]

Congratulations !!! Very Original !!!

[gottyboy]

do you like alban berg??

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

I LOVE Alban Berg.

I feel that sometimes atonal music is the only way to express.. Not always of course.

[gottyboy]

very good!

soon I know Schoenberg's daughter, she lives near my city!

[jonike6]

really interesting!!! i like you so much!! good luck!!!!!!!

[Tyizumi1234go]

there's some big time Robert Fripp influence there ... super cool

[1990xyphos]

you'd have to be rich to attend Berklee right? it's like 14k!

[Hoybe]

man that was a freaky run at 2:22... dude you are the most original player i've seen in a LOOOONG time. you absolutely don't resemble anyone i've ever seen... truly unique and wildly talented.

I've been playing 19 years and was still very impressed with how unpredictable yet fluid this was.

I'll be looking for anything you record.

[MisterNicholasGuitar]

Thank you!

Look out for an album in Mid to late August

Check out more tunes at Myspace(dot)com/thenicholassco­ttband

[Greenwithevil]

thanks man!

you're incredible

[ducky811]

This is some absolutely beyond on fire playing!!! If

he does not win, it wont be because of his pure originality in his techniques. I can't se him not at least placing second if not winning.

[Greenwithevil]

0:36-0:50 was pure argasmic

[Greenwithevil]

that sounded like pure BALLS

5/5

[misterpottsy]

Nice dog at 3:58.
