Beautiful tone. Great piece of music. Cheers.

Beautiful! Not many capture Roy’s nuances. Well done! Thanks and the bonus Roy (Gallagher)! My favorite Roys in one vid!

Cool stuff!

You should go on tour!!!! Nice work.

Thank you thank you!

A million miles away. from Irish Tour '74.. always my favourite Rory Intro. Nicely done Paul

Thanks Paul. I've loved the sounds of Roy since I heard him and recorded him off the radio when I was a kid, and didn't know who he was until I saw a CZcams video 30 years later. He was the Rory of the Tele??? Love it. Many thanks, Paul.

Lovely, as usual Paul. Nice one :):):):):)

Very nice playing dude. That tele is a beaut. Don’t ever sell it.

Classy Paul keep these coming

That's my favorite guitar of yours. It's in the right hands and I love to hear where you take it.

I love Buchanan and you've obviously captured his style but with less attack and power. Must say I love it being smoother. Well done Paul. Not many reference my hero.

I don't personally live and die on the advice of Mr. Tom. He knows he is not the best guitar player who ever lived, but he is quick to tell you he is better than you and while that may be true, it's not very kind. His ego may be warranted, but gets in the way of some people actually respecting the guy. On the other hand, you never project any negativity, and are expressive without making stupid faces! I enjoy your videos and have never heard you rush, not once. But maybe I just don't know any better. I will learn more from your videos because you take the time to actually teach, not to preach.

Great stuff Paul (as usual)!!! Your phrasing is at high level.That is the real guitar playing, not distortion based fretboard grinding.

Paul, I look forward to every episode of your guitar magic , wisdom, and wit. For a long time it has been clear the influence of the great Tele slinger, Roy B. in your repetoire. You have become so relaxed and facile with his melodies, flavor, and feel yet I appreciate your personal embellishments that make them your own. I think he would as well. Well done sir.

Cheers mate!🍻 Brad Paisley also comes to mind with your style of playing.😉 Keep in mind that Tom is a master of rug pulling.😂🤣🤙

Never in my life have I ever considered Roy Buchanan and Rory Gallagher to have much in common regarding their guitar playing

A million miles away, such a great intro from Irish Tour 74, nice one man

Great to be the first in the chat to say fantastic and thank you. Best wishes from Glasgow 👍🎸❤️🎼

Am I the only one who knows what he did there. Close encounters of the 3rd kind

Great playing and sweet tone. What amp and pedals are you using? Thanks

Really nice review, appreciate it Paul.

paul i’m sure you’ve been asked this countless times and it’s probably doing your head in at this stage but i have to ask myself. how on gods green earth have you gotten that good at guitar, like seriously; i truly would kill to play like you and i was hoping you could give me some insight on what practice looked like for a younger paul to get to where you are now

Same issue. Mine is brand new and sucks. Never again.

I think the flatwounds sound fantastic!

You play it so well. Love my 57 historic. Mine was previously owned by an alt rock god and he put a ‘50s style wind Lindy Fralin in there and it is so sweet. Pure and yet so dirty.

Just discovered your chanel. Wow such a great tone and playing. Do you have the amp settings as a patch? Thank you

Ive got to say Paul after recently visiting your site and being new to the Katana i have found it invaluable for creating the sounds that i like, your style of playing and how your layed back approach to the non technical side of the amp to people like myself makes for easy viewing but what would settings sound like with single coils. I have purchased a used mk2 100w 1x12 and tried and failed with the Katana updates, tone studio and all manner of programing this amp its very nice to see someone get very good tones from the stand alone amp. Thank you showing the step by step way of creating decent tones.

Hi Paul, absolutely wonderful tones. It would be great if you could show the Katana amp settings for Sultans, Telegraph road, Goin home - similar to the screen shot you provided of the amp settings with brothers in arms. The warmth and depth of your tone is inspiring. Cheers!

strange... but I carefully listened guitar free playing fully ! bravo

Absolutely beautiful intro. Thank you for that. Edit: I’m about 12 minutes in now.. I have to say wonderful and raw playing the whole way through. You got my like and subscribe. You will be influencing my playing from now on.

I always recommend learning Peter Frampton's solo in Natural Born Woman/Boogie. There's a lot of techniques in it, in a short space of time. It has big span too! That's what you remember. The 'Arabian' sound is in the harmonic minor scale, in the H,W+H,H section, but you can stack those sequences vs playing the entire harmonic minor scale. A lot or eastern scales are in 2 parts, an upper and lower part. The diatonic modes are the technically the same, in that you can split and rejoin the upper and lower halves, on the fly to change a mode mid way. Unless you play the 6 notes, upper and lower notes of the octave and the 4 notes of the HWH sequence, the mode hasn't been defined. If the mode has a halftone start or end it's just 5 notes.

Beautiful playing 🙌🏼

Fantastic effortless playing! You really show the versatility of the Les Paul! In the right hands it can handle just about any style.

I have been playing for 22 years. I also worked in a guitar shop for 6 years. I have played soooooo many guitars and the Riviera with minis is in my top 5 of all time 🥰

Sound is all about technique. very very GREAT !!!

Love your playing mate! Thanks for the shout out ;)

Thanks! And intro jam had a lot of tasty noogies I’ll be stealing.

Hi Paul, I love this. The bit on your Jazzmaster was pure heaven. Wonderful tones. I will watch your breakdown and see if I can get my hands around it. Thank you for sharing this 😊

what a great jam! subbed

I love weird notes so rock n roll

Yeah, TOUCH

You've amassed a large theory vocabulary for someone that doesn't find it important in focus. Not a criticism. I come to the instrument from the other side. I'm a maths head. Eventually i have to understand the theory of what I'm doing so my head can rest. Your point is the most important part though. Your ear knows what it likes. Don't accept dictation from other sources. I love the values of letting your ear experience and dictate. Your ear is the ultimate teacher and critic. Thanks for the continued posts as I so greatly enjoy them. Cheers!

Looks like he collects books too.😅

Sounds so cool... Why, I'll wager you could coax a snake out of a basket (!)

You are a fantastic guitarist, I wholeheartedly recommend that you listen to SMAK Group and Vlatko Stefanovski from the band Leb i Sol

Very nice touch. It seems so bloody easy when you play it, dude!

Paul, it is such a treat when you drop a new video. I really enjoy your playing and your breakdowns, keep it up!

i want to try this. any particular brand to order? or will any brand do the job???

Classy and tasteful
