- Firstly, here’s a link to the “Oblivion” video from Jim Campilongo and Joe Gore. Beautiful stuff and I suggest a deep dive into both players.

NEVER SEEN A MAN FEEL A PRACTICE SESSION THE WAY THAT THIS MAN DOES!!!! THE PASSION IS REAL !!!!!
Thank you man, cheers 🍻
@@paulstaffordcook8799 CHEERS TO YOU AS WELL AND KEEP ON ROCKIN’ 👍👍👍
Just Wow, just lost our beloved dog three days ago and have been looking for a piece of music to learn that expresses the joy of life, the love and the loss that you so elequently projected with the guitar and those words. Moved me from smiles to tears and and back again. Gotta give this a go, I need to feel the resonance of those chords through my fingers. Thanks Paul.
Well thank you George, I’m touched by your words. And I know what it’s like to lose a beloved pet, it’s absolutely heartbreaking (had cats all my life). Thoughts are with you George.
I love the honest approach you take to make your videos Paul. And your storytelling on how you get to your destination is the best. Thank you for showing us your route. It is one I can recognise, but then occasionally I will get lost and need to come back here to have you explain it to me again. What you wrote down to explain why you like it so much is showing that you listen to music and connect with it in a heartfelt way. Your youtube channel is in the top 10 for me, or even in the top 5, and I watch quite a lot on youtube. Just accept it, you are an influencer 😄 Cheers!
Well thank you Thor! Your comment has made me feel uplifted. Genuinely, I’m smiling reading your words 🙏. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to get views and subscribers here in CZcams land….. but I’m constantly reminded that it’s best for me just to keep things simple and genuine. Cheers Thor, have a lovely Sunday.
@@paulstaffordcook8799and that’s why I personally love watching your videos Paul. For what’s it worth I appreciate the time you spend making them for us to watch and learn. Thank you Sir.
@@benallmark9671Well thank you Ben, I appreciate that 🙏
Thanks to goodness there is beauty left in the world and you are part of it, Paul. Best, NRG
I appreciate that Neil 👍
Great sad/romantic tune! I abosute love it! Cheers Paul! Keep it going!😉👍
Thanks Gordon!
Clean and beautifull tone.🌹⚘🙏🙏👍
Appreciate you “playing us In” …. Sets a wonderful tone for everything that follows
Lovely Paul. You tweaked my curiosity. May pull out all my old classical guitar sheet music from university days 50 some odd years ago. A little adaptation with a Strat or Tele might be interesting.
As a 50 year old cowboy chord junkie, this is so helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I think there's a load of us guitarists that spend our lives watching, learning stealing by using CZcams to microanalyse everything whether that be sound, hand positions etc. Plus that Tele of yours is amazing. The tone is incredible. Keep up the good work.
You are incredible! I just love and appreciate your style. Wish I could be in a band with you Paul. Love you all Bill.
Beautiful playing! Thank you!
Beautiful
That opening sequence was mesmerizing. I love your note choices in your solos. Can’t wait to pick it apart. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man, I’m delighted you liked it 🍻
Utterly Mesmerising playing, thank you!
Thank you, your comment leaves me smiling. Appreciated 🍻
Right hand in that opening piece is great to watch, Paul. Enough there to keep me telecasting for a year. Great lesson. Thanks a lot.
Cheers Ian 👍
Thank you Paul brilliant as always. Just what I needed before I go to the band call for the show am doing next week. Keep up the great work you do. Best wishes and good health to you and your family from Glasgow 🎼👍🎸❤️
This was really nice, thank you for that
Thank you 👍
I wanted to get straight to what you had to say but could not bring myself to skip by what you played in the beginning...fantastic...
Well thank you whitebeardguitar ! Appreciated 👍
Beautiful video, Paul. And your philosofical thoughts about that piece of music really overwhelmed me, man...Thanks for the lesson, the music and the words. Cheers.
Thank you Sergio! Appreciated
Brilliant insight showing the breadth of your musical inspirations and how deep you pull out Paul. Very inspiring and honest.
Thank you Brian, appreciated 🍻
Jeez! This is beautiful!!
Lovely playing Paul...I've jammed along with this intro many times now and it's a great piece of music
Cheers Greg
Love it PSC. The creative process…..
Appreciate you Paul
Thank you Randy 🍻
Again, can't even get 5 min in without complementing you. Truly sooths the stirring soul. If you were my neighbor I would find way to persuade you to teach me 1 on 1. Do keep finding inspiration to our benefit Mr Cook. I do the same thing zooming in to see, and slow it down as well. Haha. Also, what you wrote was indeed poetic.
Glad you enjoyed it, and I appreciate your words. 🍻
Absolutely beautiful. Your playing at the top made me think of the scene from "All the Mornings of the World" where Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe plays in his woodshed to the memory of his wife.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and music with us.
Thank you Michael, delighted you liked it 🍻
Love your scrapbook. It is full of gems. Great description. Gil Evan’s said Astor Piazzolla’s Central Park concert was the best concert he ever attended. It was recorded live (of course). Great album. You do Astor justice. Thank you Paul.
Thank you Christian 😊👍
Aye good stuff. We've been getting power cut's here as well. pain in the arse doing everything by candle light eh ? See you've managed to keep the Gretsch looking nice, keep em comin pal :)
What a way to spend the first coffee of a Sunday. Bravo Paul
Thanks Charlie 🍻
You just described a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. Love it ✌🏻🎸🎶
Yep , yt is a great tool for learning how to play , it's makes it so easy , in the " old " day's i used to go to the library and get music books and later on i would buy an dvd from lick library , but in these day's you have zillion vid's and teaching plaforms like truefire ect . The thing though is not to get option paralysis , just focus on 1 thing you want to learn and only move on to the next thing when you feel you have learned whatever you wanted from that vid or lesson on yt .
There's a Brazilian idea called saudade that roughly means "romantic longing" - but it probably doesn't directly translate. But it sounds a lot like what you're describing - sad but also somewhat pleasurable and beautiful all at the same time. With Argentina being Brazil's neighbor, I can imagine they have a sense of that feeling as well. And I completely relate to the feeling Piazzola's music can invoke - he's a master at it.
Thanks Joel, I like the idea of Saudade…. I might look that up. Cheers for watching 🍻
The resolve is just wonderful.
Watching and listening to you play I am convinced that you are one of those rare players who could pick up a cheap budget guitar and create beautiful music with it while some who have the most expensive gear wouldn't come close to you🎸🙂
Thank you Rob, I appreciate that 👍
strange... but I carefully listened guitar free playing fully ! bravo
Okay that’s it-subscribed. I ‘get’ you now.
Well thank you A10011 👍
This is the beginning of the Piazolla rabbit hole. Lots more good stuff down there.
This exactly what I do to learn from you! Slow it down and zoom in!
Yes it's intense.
A few years ago both Bill Frisell and Jim Campilongo were playing venues near me. I was able to catch Frisell but the night of Campilongo there was a very severe winter snow storm that being an old geezer, I didn't want to chance as it was an hour's drive. Still regret not being able to make it.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Paul also what is your favorite year from the 2010s ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
From California: Dude, I really love your dad’s collection… need to mic him up so we can hear the comments! He has the coolest Gretsch collection. Ever jam with him?
Thanks Fmkrowa. Yes, we were in the same band for years. Also, there’s also this wee clip here: czcams.com/video/9h2noe26lCE/video.htmlsi=79n7KGoa8H_7xDvA
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Loved it. One of the few Gretsch models I don’t own…it’s a gem. One of my favorite band Fountains of Wayne uses the Gretsch bass.. it’s a classic!

The first time I ever saw Joe Gore's name was when he write for Guitar Player and transcribed the whole of Jimi Hendrix's Have You Ever Been To Electric Ladyland , the next time was on TV when he was playing what could maybe be termed a ' murder ballad ' with PJ Harvey where instead of a slide he used what looked like a carving knife.
There's a wee plug in you can get for youtube so you can set a start/finish point and loop round, same speed adjustments are possible
I vote for PSC album!
Beautiful sound Paul.
Some beautiful Scottish vibrato.
There's a book of Piazolla's tunes arranged for classical (fingerstyle) guitar by Gary Ryan. It's good... they are relatively easy ( ok, that's a relative term), but you do have to be able to read notation.
Cease....you've given away my secret....
Reminds me of khruangbin a love international
ASTOR PIAZZOLLA (argentine tango composer) : Oblivion, Primavera Porteña, Fuga y Misterio, Adios Nonino, try to listen to those songs.
Yo Yo Ma has a masterful album of Argentinian Tango music I highly recommend.
Thanks Greg. I’d never heard of him so I’ve just had the quickest lookup on Apple Music. What a tone that Cello has!
My two favorite musical tones are the cello and the female vocal@@paulstaffordcook8799
It's interesting how the approach is the same no matter what genere a person might play. The chords are the same, just done in a different order to accent the style and sound preferred.
Bryan Sutton is on Tom's latest video and they are having a very similar discussion.
My music theory is completely missing after the stroke, but the familiarity of the notes, tones, and sound relationships are oddly in tact.
Recently I have gone back to connecting the different chord positions only in relation to sound and convenience.
For example:
I might want the sound to be more open and travel a longer range. I might want to start at the 8 or 12th fret, but still utilize the fullness and depth of the open chord possibilities at the first, second, and third frets.
Of course sharps, flats, minor, augmented, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, and or any other combination for tension or release simply add a whole other crate of tools that just need to be test fit and see if they get you where you want to go.
We all know stealing is wrong, but it's not stealing if it sounds good and compliments whomever you lifted it from.
If it's terrible, it was definitely stolen.😂🤣
Cheers!🍻🤙
I enjoyed reading your comment GW. It’s quite remarkable that a stroke can seemingly delete things. It also serves to remind me of how fragile we all are and how easily things can change. It sounds like you’re doing yourself a power of good by retaining and rekindling your love of music and guitar. That must surely be beneficial for the brain and its pathways etc. Anyway, enjoy your playing GW 🎸🤘
Is that Astor Piazolla? Argentina accordion genius? Love it think it was used in the walking life ofs
Yes it is. It’s my first encounter with Astor. I’m going to dig deeper 👌
Ta for the Fm6 nugget.
Okay, now I really hate my life. You're a shaggin poet too? Write some more poetry man, you are magic, and thanks you've really touched me (not like Jack Black in School of Rock :) )
Thanks Eoin 🤣, cheers
