    "The best guitar solos are melodies inside of tunes". That'll stick with me.
    Echoing what everyone else has said here in that Tyler really seems to bring Paul not only out of his shell, but reminding him of why he does what he does. Dude is straight music through and through, and having someone like Tyler just be like "What would you play here?" instead of "When is this getting released?" has got to be refreshing for him.

    • @rigsby556
      @rigsby556 Před 4 lety

      melodies can stand on their own feet, and can walk around on their own while solos need to be carried by a rhythm section. Gilmore was a master at making terrific melodies and playing them as solos, PRS seems to be great at it also.

    • @zent555
      @zent555 Před 4 lety

      Agree. I could see Paul being so appreciative of this that he's the type that might give Tyler a new PRS just for having so much fun lol

    Fair play to you for doing this. It's original and you can tell Paul is into it. He gets grief for being awkward and off in interviews but all the ones where he is fine, like this people are doing something different with him. After all if you're getting asked all the same questions for the millionth time you will get kranky. Great job dude.

      @larrytaylor5222 Před 6 lety +18

      BiGsTaM pretty sure it’s because this interview was more like down time for him. Something he’d do with a friend rather than being hassled about what’s new from PRS for a NAMM 2018.

      PRS doesn't give signature models to artists as small as Tyler. They're no Schecter

    • @LandingNow
      @LandingNow Před 6 lety +9

      I dont think that'll happen because Tyler isnt making his own music or writing it, thus he has no "personal sound" that people would like to go after in a form of a signature guitar. But he may find luck with smaller companies for publicity.

  • @baldbearded9601
    @baldbearded9601 Před 6 lety +130

    For me, that was one of the most enjoyable 13 minutes video I've seen in a while! I loved seeing you two genuinely enjoying to play together, and it was cool to have a little insight on how he perceives the relations between intervals.. Really good stuff man ! I would have gladly watched 2 hours of this. And you could tell that Paul was left wanting more haha! I'm sure he's already looking forward to your next interview together! ;)

    This is what makes PRS guitars so good/special. The guy whose name is on the door not only still lives but actually uses and totally understands the product he's selling. Paul is a real deal great guitarist. And that is what a lot of the other big companies are missing.

    Thanks Tyler for setting him up perfectly. You pretty much figured out what scale he was comfortable with and played chords that compliment it so he could just jam and literally remember him how much he loves guitar. It made him happy. Life goes full circle ma dude .That’s why you deserve to be one of their artists.

  • @williamnebreda7843

    I got to meet Paul at his factory when my wife surprised me with one of the tours he offers. I had to have one of his guitars after that so I ran out and picked up a brand new CE-24. The man is awesome and his guitars are the best. Watching you play with him is great!

    Man it looks like u were in a dream there! This was one of the coolest thing I've seen in a while on youtube! Paul is a fantastic person! that sort of things that happen in life, you know. You and Paul. I know you very little, I just discovered your channel (and subscribed of course) but I would say that you deserved that moment. The work, the dedication and the will to help and be some inspiration for others. That's about music! Just two pal playing together, a pupil (way of saying) and a master sharing knowledge. Priceless video! I wish you all good things for the future man. And I hope some day I'll be able to play at least an half of how you play! :)

    never been a fan of Paul, the old first impression thing, I almost didn't watch, this then thought "let me watch this and give it a chance to change my mind about Paul". The jury is still out but now at least I can start looking at Paul and the PRS brand with a little more of an open mind. Thanks

    Hey Tyler, does Paul Reed badass Smith have perfect pitch? Or just super badass relative?

      if he had perfect pitch he wouldn't have to hunt for the root note of chords, he'd be able to pick it immediately. So I'm pretty sure it's just good relative pitch.
