    You keep doing this Paul! Extraordinary and beautiful. I just love your touch and the nuances in your playing that make your compositions like stories. I shall listen again with the lights down and float over Stirling for a while. None of this sounds like it comes from someone who has been feeling a bit burned out. The creative light burns bright. Peace.

    My amp tip is 1, check all the valves are properly seated, 2 (for microphony only) with the amp on, tap each the valve in turn with a pencil end, 3 swap out the 1st preamp valve with a know good one (or at least known working one). 4 if 3 has cured it, swap the original valve back in! If the fault is back valve 1 was poor, if the fault is cured, just checking seating wasn't enough and there was a poor connection on one of the pins, or socket. If you don't have a spare valve, fully removing and reinserting the 1st preamp valve is worth a try.

      Someone once told me , that playing a Tube amp that is always attenuated , is poison to the tubes. Because they work on high level all the time. I know nothing technically about it, just heard it.

      Standard practice in the UK. Learn how to drive any car, not just an automatic.
      One can sit an "auto only" driving test, but a licence based on this will ONLY let you drive automatics legally. If, for instance, you go to hire something, and the hire co. only has manuals left, you're stuck.

      I feel you, I found my perfect ES-355. I love the jazzmaster but I’m more of a Gibson guy. Make sure you find the one you love and don’t settle for less. Weight, color, feel etc. if you can, try to play some in stores to get a neck that best works for you, unless you already know what to expect. Good luck on your find!

    Some really good melodic ideas there. It’s nice hearing someone play guitar with an ear for tension, release dynamics etc. funnily I was just watching this with my partner saying you have a very German classical influence, and then you stopped playing and said you use a lot of classical influences😅. That hard tail strat sounds amazing. I think I’ve found my new favourite CZcams guitarist. 10/10

    Hi Paul, I'm glad you had a good trip up to the NW to shake down the Suzuki. I noticed the Ullapool guitar festival was on the first weekend in October and wondered if you managed to catch it. I'd love to go one year before too long even though it's a canny drive from here in Durham.
    Both Oswalds are sounding splendid, and the phrasing and the lesson were superb (as usual). Even though I watch Psionic Audio, and enjoy the content I have no idea what he's on about much of the time. So, I'm sad to hear the Cornell has a noise issue currently. I'd hazard a guess at the valves, and perhaps that they dont really get a chance to stretch their legs very often. Ha ha, hark at me, I haven't a clue! SUtraight off to the man who knows.
    A few precious days off this week, must get a set up done on my old Strat sorted out together with some heavier strings. Up to 11's I think for while.

    Since E and B are both in the same key of E, F looking like the “outlier”, I would say that what you played at 20:30 - 20:41 looks like a fragment of E7b9: E (root), B (5th), F (b9). 😊 Why a Suzuki? Why not a Zoe ZE50 (range of at least 200 miles)? That would get your students to drive EVs. I guess it’s not the same price though, around £10k used.
