The Haunted guitarist Ola Englund has shared the latest episode of Coffee With Ola, featuring guitarist Jared James Nichols. They discuss Nichols' pick-less approach to the guitar, fingerstyle technique, guitars and more.
Jared James Nichols is a blues-rock guitarist and singer from East Troy, Wisconsin, best known for his high-energy "pick-less" electric guitar playing technique. He fronts a power trio under his name, rooted in the early 1970s hard-rock vein of Cream and Mountain.
Nichols recently checked in with the following update:
"Here are the first notes a the unveiling of the new guitar.. Here she is… an early 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard, one of the first Humbucker Equipped Les Paul Standards EVER. Rocking a set of monster real-deal Double White PAFS - crazy black over gold finish by Riggio Guitars showing plenty of flame.
This is nuts and my jaw is on the floor with how badass this one is. I am in tone heaven! Massive thank you to my brother John Ladas for putting this one in my hands…more to come!"
