Hi, my name is Paul Davids! I am a guitar player, teacher, producer, and overall music enthusiast from the Netherlands! I try to inspire people from all over the world with my videos, here on CZcams.
If you want to know more about me, check out PaulDavidsGuit...
Thank you for watching!
Paul
It's CZcams, I should've known. Not saying 'thank you' to the delivery guy, ARROGANT PRICK!
People, the delivery guy is not really a 'delivery guy'. Do you really think I've got 3 camera's in my hallway rolling 24/7 on 120fps to get a shot of me sliding on my socks to open the door in case the doorbell rings? Haha ;) My real delivery guy is my best friend!
Wtf lol, people are really asking that?
Fancy not saying"thank you" to your best friend
@@MisterAndrewBuckley hahahahahaha
It’s so funny people don’t think for one second. No one would deliver without a signature either.
If you get a great guitar it makes you want to play more.
Have you played a Novo. I want to know if they are really that good.
Should have had him dress up and hand you the package , then walk right past you ," here's another one of those things." Push past , and right into the kitchen making a sandwich.
Sometimes I wonder you're a guitarist or a filmmaker. The quality of your videos is oomph. 👌
Guitarena Music he is both.
Right!? The camera and lens setup he has got going alone is over $8k, and he uses the gear so well.
Yes
Guitarena Music ... Paul is a good teacher He make film for less boring.
@@junkheadrooster 1 - wow that's expensive, then
2 - well he can monetize it, and write it off, so
3 - wow that's really inexpensive!
This is inspiring stuff.
Every guitarist somewhere in their heart cant resist the beauty of a telecaster... It has something that i dont understand... Maybe the curves... Maybe the shape.. Its just so beautiful
Right as much as I hate the cut off pick gaurd on most of them I still want one
Charles Koushik just the fucking bluesy sound🔥
Absolutely! They are other worldly!
I agree. teles are great guitars. must haves. I actually agreed 5 times so far. I can't seem to stop buying them.
Maybe after they buy a couple les pauls
Dear Paul,
I'm working at Thomann in the drums department and I was able to watch you there a little bit.
You're an absolutely great sounding musician and your videos are awesome!
Thank you for this good stuff!
StraIzed do you have a referral link to the website that helps you?
Hey man, off topic. I'm a drummer and I consider buying cheap, but decent e-kit. Could you say something about Millennium MPS 850? I don't care that much about sounds in module, as it will be hooked up to pc and drum vst. I'm more interested in how well is this set built? I mean materials and stuff. How reactive it is? Etc etc. Can you tell me your honest opinion? Thank you very much!
@@dariusz_darson_8968 Hey mate, if you want to record drums via midi (vst plugins) this one is a very good choice. The quality is really good if you pay attention to the price.
You will get a good sounding module with great options, a mechanical hihat, 2 crashes and 4 toms as well.
But:
If you want to spend a bit more money, you can check out the Roland TD-17KL drumset. Yes, you dont get that much features like the "real hihat" but the trigger sensitivity is better and there are more options on the module.
Please be kind to each other and have a nice evening. :)
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats man! edit: The opening sequence is delightful. Superb editing.
Thanks man :)
I love both you guys.
You are a person with a Gibson 12 string
This guitar had such a great feel and the tones were superb, I totally get why you bought it! Miss ya buddy! Hope you are well
Haha, yep! Miss you too mate!
I actually feel my heart beat a little faster when I see a just-delivered guitar box!
@Franklin Waters lmao
I prefer the guitar! LOL
My buddy and I were drooling over that guitar at Fender’s booth at NAMM. Congrats! It’s a stunner.
that guitar sounds cleaner than my life, congrats man on that beauty.
Guitar pick on the cat😂😂😂
Haha, I know.. helps me find it again. Good contrast 😅
@@PaulDavids Congratulations on this new guitar.
so good!!
it was the cats idea no doubt
good catch!
0:15 Guitar pick on cat.
That hair on the screen. Everyone thinks its not real. Change it ( whispers )....
Everybody knows, don't pick on the cat... it'll scratch your face open!
Aww, I really caught the hook, tried to wipe the hair out couple of times, just to figure that something ain't right 😂
👍
The bass sounds are so full and when you started noodling as the top I just had complete stank face. Beautiful.
First seconds of hearing it.. it sounds great and awesome!!!!
You realize this is an electric guitar right? Pick ups don't transmit sound. They transmit physical motion of the strings via electromagnetic interference. How the guitar itself sounds is irrelevant unless played unplugged.
@@Wylie288 ok
Post Rock Mixes sure.....
@@alexaponte6426 You deny physics?
Post Rock Mixes whatever dude I was just trying to leave a nice comment but you ruined it.... thnx
You just know sometimes! Sounds great and you clearly love this instrument. Congratulations Paul!!
I had the same experience with my Nocaster Relic. I knew I had to have it within a few minutes of playing it. I wasn't even looking for a new guitar, I just had never played a relic before and she stole my heart. That was 13 years ago and she's still my number one. Some guitars have a soul. Enjoy your new love!
sir, the sheer joy on your face while your playing your new guitar was worth it. I really enjoy when people are that happy. The music you'll make with it will no doubt be great.
Now at 1.2 million! Paul's success is hard-earned and much deserved. As many will have, I've learned a fair few things from Paul Davids, and I've been playing a long time and am considered a decent player. Along with Asaf Levavy of Lick n' Riff, Rick Beato, and one or two others, Paul is among the creme-de-la-creme of YT guitar teachers/players/musicians.
Paul, you looked almost as happy as I did when my mother brought home my first guitar, a Roy Rogers guitar. :) That is an awesome sounding custom!
Hey Paul I have a similar story. I fell in love with my 69 Thinline in 30 seconds of playing it as well. The gentleman who owned it ( who is a guitar/amp wiz) Vic Germano had bought it new from a custom shop in Sherman Oaks California USA. It's MIM so it's different than a custom shop. But it was made exquisitely. His mission for buying it was to mount a Piezo bridge pickup so he would have an acoustic sound and take advantage of the the semi hollow body. So not to disfigure the original look of the instrument he made the tone knob the control for the Piezo. So both knobs control volume either for the front two Tele pickups or the Piezo. The beautiful thing is being able to blend them for acoustic/electric combinations. I like you have my favorite instruments but this one has captured my attention to say the least. My good buddy Paul Manoogian is a killer Geetar picker in my network here in California and just now snagged a thinline and can't put it down.
Ok so enough gloating. I love your channel Paul. Your playing is off the hook. Your attention to detail is so inspiring and your whole presentation is second to none. I'm slow in my involvement with social media but I've learned so much from you and others like you the importance of engagement. You are so easy to watch and listen to. Your film making skills are just as tasteful as your guitar playing. You do it all with great care and creativity. Bravo Mr Davids.
What an amazing guitar. The beauty inside and out is astronomical
Though me being a strat guy, the second you strummed it I fell in love with it, congratulations on the new beauty.Shine on :)
YUKTARTH NAGAR-IB it sounds a lot like a strat in the neck pickup.
Watching this video on a warm afternoon in my backyard, with a cold beer, after work. Going in to play guitar after this video ends 👍🏻
Dude YES!!!! Congrats woohooO!
That thing looks humble but sounds so glorious. Congratulations to a great guitar :)
What a warm, rich sound. Amazing guitar, Paul. I think you bought a killer one.
stunning guitar and great chops Paul. Love the warm full tone with single coils
What a classic...looks and sounds beautiful. Keep doing what you do, Paul!
Cheers from Canada
That has to be the sweetest sounding télé I have ever heard.
I like that little jam you had at the end of the video. That would be a good quick lesson video.
That guitar has soul, and you really know how to speak to it.
@IPA SOLÉ That one certainly does.
That feeling you get when you get a new guitar is my favorite part of being a guitarist. Congrats, Paul! I remember Adam playing it and thinking "It DOES sound great."
It's so thick and smooth sounding. I love telecasters. Over the years I've tried many other guitars, but always come back to a tele. Congratulations. It's a beautiful guitar.
Wow! Beautiful guitar!!! Just bought a guitar too, a Gibson SJ-200 lovely sound
I thought you'd got one of the Gilmour auction guitars when I heard the first chord/saw that fretboard...
David Gilmour didn't play a Thinline-Tele 😀😀
@@alexanderwalther7302 true! I just meant at the beginning before Paul had told/shown us it was a Tele... Unless you meant I should have been able to hear it was a Tele which is probably also true
same
I though it had a very Gilmour-ish sound to it too.
Nice Fat (or is that Phat?) tones.
Hi Novak, happy wednesday. In case your question. I'm not 100% sure, but from any vid or DVD watched from David or Pink Floyd, I'd never seen him playing a Thinline-Tele. Only his blond or sunburst Tele. Have a fine day. Greets Alex 😀🎸
I can trade you a ibanez RGD61AL-SSB and a kidney of your choosing 😁
I see this bid, only in place of the Ibanez I have an SG that's modded out as a Peter Green tribute, and I raise a lobe of a heavily abuse liver.
I'll give you both my kidneys, 23% of my soul, half an earlobe and 2 shoes, both from different pairs. Please gimme...
I only have a Ibanez gio gax-70 with crappy 2 year old strings and a shot pickup and a pristine liver
How about a Chinese Les Paul, a frontal cortex with high IQ and low EQ, one left hand that's calloused and gorilla strong, and a right eyeball with 20/13 vision (highly valuable).
Lol this comment thread is the best 😂😂
Nothing like a new custom shop Fender. Magic instruments
I honestly can’t tell a lot of guitars apart by sound, but that one sounds noticeably better than the vast majority of what I’ve heard. So much depth, and that bass note just shakes you to the core.
To the Master Luthier who built this guitar: my hat is off. What exquisite tone. Congratulations Paul. You conveyed that feeling of "the one that almost got away" so well.
I always loved the sound of a telecaster.. that poppy, twangy, bright sound that no other guitar produces truly unique.. now i know why tab benoit loves playing them so much..
Congrats Paul...you’ve finally been bit by the Tele bug! As a lifelong Telecaster owner, it’s amazing to discover all the unique historic sounds that come out of that chunk of wood. Have tons of fun and post for us 👍
Paul, I noticed you said this was based off of a 50s nocaster. but this is probably a reissue of a telecaster from 68-71. thinlines weren't introduced until then and that's exactly what this one looks like, before they added the humbuckers in 72.
Congrats brother !.....you deserve it, enjoy and play it in good health....🙏🏻
This vid made me smile. You can hear the hype in your voice of owning this gorgeous axe!
Total look of bliss on your face....Now there's a man who appreciates a beautiful instrument....
The way that guitar sounds makes me want to tell you to play the intro to Angel by Jimi Hendrix
I hold my breath at 4:26... thought to myself, “wait a minute... that’s my dream guitar...”
I bought a similar guitar last year, a Fender Parallel Universe 2018 Limited Edition Tele Thinline Super Deluxe with dual TV Jones Classic humbucking pickups. It has a lovely "1950s Rockabilly" orange nitrocellulose lacquer finish, a satin neck, double white body binding, Pearloid block inlays, and a ‘70s style Tele Thinline silver sparkle pickguard. I can't put that down either and it's my favourite guitar, it's very lightweight and it sounds fantastic!
I felt exactly the same way with the American Elite Thinline Tele. The day I saw that in the shop, I was playing that thing for 2 HOURS. I was late for work that day, but it so worth doing.
0:15
he meow for snacc
he give you a whac
but most importantly:
he'll protecc a pick on his bac
I swear when i hear a guitar blind and I really like the tone about 80% of the time it turns out to be a tele. Probably means I should get one...
Yep, its one of those guitars that just speak to you after playing the first chord. Sounds beautiful! One of the best tones I've heard.
Dan is probably jealous watching your video now and mad about how youve convinced him to not purchase it
hahaha
I really appreciate your videos. This is one of my favorite YT channels. I just bought a Custom Shop Knotty Pine Thinline 52 Tele. It's an amazing guitar...I can't stop playing it.
Well I mean what wouldn't you do for a guitar! Anything should be worth getting, and by all means necessary! Very great and interesting story man!
Gefeliciteerd, Paul! It's beautiful. I hope it inspires you in ways you'd never imagine possible.
It's an awesome tele, with nicest shaped pick guard I've ever seen on telecasters
I came back to this video a year later because I just bought my first Telecaster, a Custom Shop 1960 and I have all the same feelings and excitement.
Great vid! Sounds amazing! I had a custom shop thin line I almost bought years ago but didn't pull the trigger! Biggest mistake ever!!!
Played something like this when I was in a music store, too... Similar reaction, but not enough money ^^
So congrats on your new axe! Its absolutely stunning!
I'm... I'm not... not jealous... not... I don't... Everythings fine...
Bronco XY Musikraft or Warmoth partscaster. You can basically build one yourself for less than a grand. Get it aged by MJT guitar finishing if you want that roadworn look. Seriously you can build a guitar every bit this good. Just gotta put in some time and effort.
Musikraft actually have the ability to CNC router exact necks based on specific serial numbers from old blackguard telecasters. It’s crazy.
Congratulations, she's a beauty for sure - but it takes two to rock'n'roll and you certainly make her sing! May you be happy together for a long time!
Was blown away when a friend pulled out a 52 original for a gig at local pub. Something about the 52s is just stunning
I've never been a fan of the "tele" sound, (or almost all Fenders for that matter) but yes, that is a sweet sounding instrument, and you do it justice.
I like teles with humbuckers or p90s, i guess it's not a tele then lol
Usually I can't tell guitars apart. This one does "it" even to me...
This low presence together with the tele highs reminds me the sound of Bill Frisell, lovely!
I have the same one for over half a decade. I’ll never get rid of it.
I really thought you were gonna play Welcome Home (Sanitarium) in the beginning there
I totally get why you fell in love with it. Looks great, sounds amazing! Congrats man!
When he said "the guitar feels tight and solid, like it's one piece" I knew what he meant. I once had an american original 50s tele which was exceptional and I always described it as "it feels like it's one piece". NONE of the other electrics I tried had that same feeling to me. None.
We do need a Live Looping with this beautiful guitar. No questions asked.
I knew it was a thinline tele after the second sneak peak, where you could see some of the pickguard and controls. There isn't really any other guitar that looks that way.
Yeah, the pickguard is a Thinline highlight
Oh. That final melody. You can buy CS guitar, but you can't buy that blue feel. Just one thing bothers me - why would you play such sad melody when you bought new guitar?
all of your videos just make me wanna pick up my guitar in the middle of the night
I played mostly strats and Les pauls as a player for 27+ years and then one day I had enough money to try out a new guitar style and took a chance on a Baja Telecaster (I had never played a tele before) demo model from sweetwater. There’s nothing quite like new guitar day especially when it’s trying a new style guitar for the first time. I bought it online sight unseen and unplaced. After that, within a year I purchased a thinline telecaster. Gotta love new guitar day. Enjoy it!
I once fell in love with a thin line, I let her get away and I will never see her again 😭
That’s probably one of the most beautiful telecasters I’ve ever seen and heard. Great find 😊
That laugh at 4:09 is like: Yes its great but... CAN I HAVE IT? Amazing videos Paul, greetings from the Netherlands
Lol, the way you grab the box and slam the door is exactly what it feels like when new gear is delivered. Enjoy the new guitar, Paul!
gotta love those bokeh balls in the background😍
Bokeh balls are my favorite kind of balls
@@PaulDavids that says a lot coming from the master of all things balls...😏
Oh my... Watching you fall in love with that beauty was such a treat ! Happy it went into the right hands my friend :) // Guillaume
Watching him waiting for that guitar was like watching a high school kid waiting for his prom date to show,
you know, that girl that you've dream t about for years but never thought she'd say yes :)
Didn't know a Tele could sound like that. Very smooth and full. I don't like tele's...now I want one!
Congratulations... You should see yourself! You are so happy! That's something you can't buy! AGAIN SO HAPPY FOR YOU PAUL!the positivity can be felt even outside my phone!
That moment when you play open G and hope it's in tune 07:03
Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾
I'm at this particular stage of my life where I'm craving after a Telecaster.
Seeing this is making me weak in the knees.
Really.
I bought a Squier Thinline Tele as my first electric guitar in January and I love it. It was a sweet coincidence that the guy that runs what would end up being my favourite guitar channel plays a similar model!
Hey Paul! Is that riff around 5:46 based on something in particular? I'd love to learn it! Beautiful guitar, by the way. Congrats!
Wondered why it didn’t sound like a regular Tele. I thought it might have actually been a strat before you presented it 🤭
Oh the first note feeling......goosebumps right away
The level of production is amazing. The camera work alone is already perfection.
That is exactly why you don't put down a guitar you have decided to buy, not even for a second. You don't even leave the building without it.
Thats why always bring money when visiting a guitar store 😂😂
@@hoompaloompaa You don't even need money. You just have to ask them to hold it. LOL.
I didn’t know Obi Wan played guitar
yes, impressive... most impressive..
he actually does. look up ewan mcgregor guitar.
All we know is he is not Obi Wan, but he is Obi Wan's European cousin
thinline tele has always been a dream guitar, but if i get one im gonna get a really nice one when i can finally justify owning it and being able to play it well
I used to have a beautiful thinline Tele,I loved it.
Paul - do my eyes deceive me or were you using your cat as a pick rest before you answered the door??!! 🤣🤣
Oh man watching ur video with Adam i also immediately thought that thing sounds amazing compared to that strandberg. i also was watching it on a smartphone w/o headphones
I’m haunted by a Tele that got away. Nothing like this. It was a 2008 Mexican Fender Special Run Ash Tele. I bought it used when I really shouldn’t have spent the money on a guitar but when I picked it up in the store, I couldn’t put it down. I even carried it around when I looked at other things because I didn’t want someone else to buy it while I was thinking about it. I bought it and a week later, my fuel pump died in my car and the Tele had to be returned. I still think about that damn guitar.
So I’m glad you didn’t face losing this one. When they speak to you, they speak to you.
Dude, I love your videos. I came because of the guitar and I stayed because of the aesthetics AND the guitar. There's something about the way you present that calms my anxiety and massages my brain. Cheers from Siberia!
0:40 how you were able to avoid the adjective "authentic" we may never know.....
I have 3 requirements in a guitar:
-satin neck
-sustain saddles
-hip groove
Oh and a fourth:
-Fender
I'm not jealous very often, but now I am! I love Teles, Fat chunky necks and hollowbody guitars and this guitar combines all of it. Stunning guitar, congrats!
I can understand your joy and enthusiasm very well. It's always great to get a good and beautiful guitar that is perfectly built and has that certain something. Your new guitar is a noble, high-quality instrument and sounds fantastic. Have fun with it!
