    I gotta tell ya, the fact that someone who plays fiddle and “traditional” acoustic music bought a Les Paul is awesome. I never ready got into acoustic guitar but electric spoke to me for largely the same reason you bought that guitar: that fat rock sound! You’re gonna have fun! You will notice that many of the nuances of playing fiddle also apply to electric guitar especially with the overdrive channel on the Orange. Keep us updated!

It must be very rewarding, and give your lives great purpose now as your venturing into your adult lives. I want to encourage you as I've seen quite a few of your videos, and I don't think I've ever seen two such genuine, well rounded, mature, young ladies in my life. I know your mom's proud, and she should be. I pray that you know your value, and can see the benefit to the way you were raised and your Appalachian heritage. I realize that I'm just some random 35 year old on CZcams who's nostalgic about his Southern raising, but I'm really proud of you too, and frankly just thrilled to know that there are still purpose driven, conscious, articulate, truly beautiful young ladies out there, because that's not what I see for the most part.

      @@TomTobin67 most certainly it cannot, but its a design issue. Gibson made a guitar in the 90's to illustrate exactly what I am about to say. It was called the Nighthawk, it had a 5 way blade selector, came with hsS configuration (humbucker, single, soapbar. Soapbar and single can be flipped). It also had both vibrato and stoptail versions, was 25.5" scale, but otherwise, set neck LesPaul. It is awesome, and DOES do 2 and 4 because there is a 2 and 4 to select. Dynamics, are very similar between both guitars, and these are rare as it is now, so I'll keep my 98' Nighthawk probably until they reissue a new one. I'll part with the classic, buy the new plus another great guitar. It's economics, and sound application of it if you ask me.

    Congratulations, that's one fine instrument and amp. I dig that burst and what a top! Flamed maple is just beautiful to me. One of the good things about going to GC versus buying a Les Paul, direct from Gibson, is that you can see the wood and finish, feel the neck and play it (obviously). If you don't know stuff like neck radius' and fingerboard radius', you can be disappointed with buying online but go to the store and you can tell, right away, if the neck hurts your hand or if the fretboard is too flat/round. When you're investing that much in an instrument, it's nice that the top pieces are matching, if not, book-matched.
    I'm left-handed, so I mainly just use GC's website to see when there are lefties at their stores around the country (as they will ship guitars, for free, to your local store).

    My youngest son and I wanted to learn electric bass so we both got one and an amp at Guitar Center. We never had much time to learn it so sold them back when we moved Eastward. My brother closest to my age designs and builds guitars. He also made my mom an electric mandolin. He also collects guitars. He has Les Paul and who knows how many now. Guitar is awesome. My mom and 5 brothers are string players (violin, viola, cello, guitar, bass guitar) and Dad and I are woodwind and keyboard players. Glad you found the one you wanted!❤

    Really dig the fact you're left-handed and learning to play a traditional, right-handed guitar! I'm in the same boat, part of it was the appeal of a challenge in learning things that would appear "backwards" as a lefty, and part of it was the realization that left-handed guitars are still not as varied as right-handed guitars. Learning chord charts and reading things out of books in general would definitely be another thing to have to try and reverse or accommodate if you played a left-handed guitar, so I do believe it's a pretty intuitive choice to try and learn traditional! If you can get past the initial flipped feeling of the strumming/picking hand, which would be the right hand if playing a right-handed guitar, then I think you'll eventually carry over and progress with the same consistency as right-handed people have.
    I prefer the dexterity and strength and grip on my left hand anyway as it makes me feel freer with the fretting aspect of it all! With a stringed instrument, things like vibrato or bending are possibility and I believe there's more nuance to those techniques if you are using your dominant hand! A few of the past legends, such as the great Duane Allman and Mark Knopfler, were left-handed and learned to play on right-handed guitars. Do you play fiddle right-handed as well? Very lovely video, happy that you could find one that played how you wanted and also looked appealing to you as well!

  • @itslikethesamebutdifferent8020

    Awesome buy, that’s a beauty of a guitar and of course you can’t go wrong with a Gibson, especially as a first guitar. You’ll see that the Les Paul is a very inspirational guitar, it’ll push you to be better and to come up with great riffs and licks. I’m glad you mentioned Gary from REO Speedwagon, he was definitely a very talented and superb guitarist, very underrated but has a solid spot in the rock pantheon in my book. Also others you mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin etc are certainly big names to drop when it comes to influences so that along with a Les Paul and you’re on your way to an amazing and rewarding journey. Congrats on the new guitar and may you write many awesome songs with it, rock on 🤘

      @@thepressleygirls Oh I'm sure you will at some point pick up a Fender, its always nice to have different instruments to play. Tom Petty and Mike Campbell compared their instruments to colors. The more and different guitars they played on each album gave those songs/albums different sounds and tones. More layers and colors like painting a picture. So anytime they started working on a new project they would visit vintage guitar shops looking for new "colors" for the album.
