“I feel like a lot of people, when they see me play, they think, ‘Oh, it’s going to be super aggressive, and there’s a lot of shades of that,” shares Jared James Nichols. “But I’m so obsessed with the tone, the feel of it…. Growing up listening to Jeff Beck, Albert King, guys like that; the super feel stuff to me is where it’s at.”
That sentiment is overwhelmingly clear when hearing just a single note of Nichols’ playing. And what makes his musicianship that much more compelling is his abandonment of the pick—most of the time, he’s not really “fingerpicking,” but he uses his fingers to shred like any picking guitarist. He explains, “I’m a lefty, so that’s where it originated. I tried to use a pick, and I was really uncoordinated. I can play a lot of the same riffs that someone could do with a pick, but play ’em and they sound a lot different.”
Earlier this year, Nichols came out with his third full-length release, Jared James Nichols, which adds to his catalog 12 more dirt-covered, gritty tunes that dig in with his infectious passion and signature, glistening tone. The album comes on the heels of Nichols’ growing success, bolstered by his extensive touring and tens and thousands of new fans.
Given his commitment to Les Pauls, it’s fitting that Nichols was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the guitar’s namesake inventor. Now, Nichols is a global ambassador of Gibson Guitars, an honor shared by only four other guitarists. And, since his last Rig Rundown, he was honored with a signature Epiphone guitar. In this new look at his rig, he shares his legion of trusty Les Pauls, as well as why he prefers simplicity when it comes to amps and pedals.

Happy guys. I can't handle it.
JJN is, like Jeff Beck, a player who has his tone…..in his hands
Goddamn that ‘52 screams !!!
I'd be really curious to see where the 52 Les Paul blew in from… Oz? Someone somewhere is missing their beloved guitar.
I saw the 52 when it was laying in Josh’s Guitar Shop
Jeezus! That kossof LesPaul is incredible
He gets some of the best tones in the world, with no pedals, on what many consider to be cheap entry level amps. Love and kisses to JJN and Blackstar!
15:43 !!!!! I always love this guys attitude.
This guy can play anything…and then some. He has a fresh, unique sound. at 73, I am surprised I never heard of him. That is sad.
Free!! my neighbors heard that one lol
I hear a lot of Robin Trower in Jared's James Nichols styles
Who the hell steels gear from musicians. There is no bottom to how low humans can sink. Same thing happened to Guthrie govens wahrockerpedal. "Some roman stole it" he sad. To make profit for the thief out of it is one thing but to also lessen the joy and positivity musicians spread too is an other. I sometimes wonder how people can become so fucked up with no sense for morality or the ability to think past them selves. I mean how do you create an environment to shape some one in to a person like that.
I'm thinking someone in Kansas is looking for their 52 Les Paul.
Imagine Jared and mark Knopfler doin money for nothing….
Doug Aldritch story : 13:12
he is the epitome of what guitar players should play & sound like . tone so damn good ❤
Jared always has "One more in the hopper"! ???? Can't believe I actually got to play onstage live with this Rock God, in Glasgow's GuitarGuitar. I still have to pinch myself! Keep on Rockin' big fella!
The standby switch is OFF on the 100 watter.. weird
Is he going into a clean or driven amp? @jarad
Every time I hear Dorothy it sounds like she's screaming with Joy at being rebuilt and allowed to sing again.
Awesome pickup on that guitar
"Should I play that riff? Am I gonna sound like it? Uh-oh!" That was mint. haha
