I’ve been playing for almost 30 years Paul. I’ve been using the Internet to learn for about the past 10. You are by far the best guitar teacher I’ve seen on here. Thank you for all your dedication. Much love from San Francisco! 🏴
Thank you Michael, what a lovely comment. Appreciated 😊. And greetings to you in San Francisco from a cloudy Edinburgh Scotland 🤘
I used your bend up to A7 at a gig last night and the crowd went wild! Vanru music 💯
That makes me smile ear to ear Michael 😊🤘
Paul, the subtleties, nuances and tone of the Oswald are sublime in your hands. Now there has to be a philanthropist out there to coax you out to record an album with a wee combo cause you know we all would dig it. Imagine!🙏
Ah, thank you P D. Maybe one day 😊
Have you done an album? Do you wanna do an Album ? Are you working on an Album ? 16k subscribers... how (?) Can we support this effort if you were interested ? And if this is not an interest of yours, thats ok. Just curious. Thanks : )
Thanks crazywisdom2. It’s so nice to hear that there would be interest in an album. It’s not something I’m particularly pursuing, since I have no band 😊. So if I was to do it, it would be a very simple affair, with just me playing guitar, with no backing, a bit like my CZcams vids. But no plans at the moment, I’m just enjoying posting for CZcams. Cheers 😊
@@paulstaffordcook8799 honestly... even that would be amazing. Cheers.
What a great Saturday morning to find this had dropped the night before.
Thanks Sid 😊
New to your chanel paul not played much lately 32 years Got the telecaster out last year as my son is starting to play Started noodling as I do every now and then was stuck in the pentatonic then my son showed me your chanel Amazing guitarist u are but you explain thing even I can understand I've learnt so much from u already Thanks so much
Thank you Chris! It’s a joy to feel like I’m helping. Cheers 👍
i sit around most days, for a period of time each day with a guitar in hand..playing the same old tired licks (thats my problem i collect licks)..mate theres some really really good "ideas"..thanks for sharing Paul..have loved this series
Thank you raindogred, it’s been enjoyable for me too. Cheers 👍
Paul.. in 70 years, I never learned music, never had a lesson. Honestly I shouldn't be watching these, you are too good for me to learn anything from. I only play by ear.. I have few regrets in my life, I think one for sure, is I wish I had taken lessons. I lived off grid, and barely on the grid, and alone for so many years, I just never got into a position to do it. Yeah I wish.... I wish I had. I envy your knowledge. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you so much Crow, your comment has me smiling. And wondering…. I’ve always loved the idea of being off grid… I now have images of you as some lone woodsman, working on his cabin out in bear country 🤣. Well I’m delighted you can get some inspiration from the videos 😊
That set up sounds soooo good . Sounds like looking out the window on a dreary rainy day .
Loved your analogy, thank you Harry 👍
You're the best Paul. Always puts a smile on my face when I see you've uploaded a new video.
Thank you Mi Pr 😊. Appreciated
Now this is why I love guitar. Your playing is killer, could listen to you play all day. I'm going to have to watch all your videos now.
Well thank you man, I’m delighted you like my playing. 😊👍
thank you Paul. Ive learned more in the last month watching this series, than I have the last ten years. really appreciate your content. Im getting better every day. cheers!
Thanks Mark, comments like this make it a joy to run this channel 😊
This little series is just fantastic - its refreshing my playing/ approach so much 👍🎸 as Keith Richards is says “Gold rings on ya” 👍
Thanks Tim 😊
I've been flat out and just getting into these tricks vids properly now. So cool. It's all clear when it's shown but they're not connections I'd have made otherwise. The tones are another thing to aim for. Well done, Paul. This is as good as anything out there.
Ah, thank you so much Ian, it’s lovely to read a comment like that 🙏
Fantastic musical ideas. Excellent listen this morning.
Thanks William 😊
Paul I always get something if not many things out of your great and unique videos. Love the sound of your Oswald stat. The pickups sound strong and tasty - love that it has great clarity but with attitude. Sure is a beauty. Thanks for sharing your talents and nuanced tricks - your vids have sure been very useful to me. Best - Bob.
Thank you Bob! Cheers mate
What a fabulous musician you are Paul! Some really beautiful and inspiring ideas there. Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next video already!
Thank you so much Pete, your lovely comment is appreciated 👍
Very informative and great playing Paul. That guitar sounds awesome in your hands! I think a great Strat is when you can really enjoy playing clean on the bridge pickup. Most players only use it with gain but yours sounds magical clean. Thanks Paul.
Cheers Brian, I seem to have struck it lucky with this Strat. I can’t put it down 🤣
Stunning, absolutely stunning! Beautiful playing with simple explanations. Mate, your channel is my new addiction!
Thank you Aris, I appreciate that. 😊👍
Thank you for your efforts from someone who really loves the guitar & nice strat by the way!
Well thank you Jimmey! Appreciated, and glad you like my Strat 😊
you get some excellent tones Paul. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thank you Moe 👍
Awesome lesson, awesome tones! Thanks for giving away all of your secrets in the process!! 😉👍
My pleasure, thanks Sammywhat 😊
Love this Paul. You’re getting me out of a rut I’ve been in for a while. Thank you😎
Excellent! Cheers Jago
Looking forward to delving in to this one. Thanks for sharing Paul.
Thanks Simon
Thank you for another excellent case study in using imagination to push melodic phrasing safely away from pedestrian. And that Strat sounds truly soulful in your hands.
Thank you Ken, I’m really bonding with it. 🙏
Guitar sounds amazing and great playing as usual, Paul! Really enjoyed the series of tricks of the trade!
Thank you Fergal! They’ve been a pleasure to do.
Real good stuff, thanks again for another great post Paul!
👍
A key I always dodge!.. great lesson. The B chord with a G bass sounds so thanks for taking the time Paul. Much appreciated
Thanks Steve 👍
Hi Paul, this is great. Fantastic lesson.
Thank you Anton 👍
Hello paul just watched the one with your dad's guitars.amazing collection and what a lovely man I definitely need a gretch guitar now I don't sleep no more I just watch and learn from your chanel again thanks
Well I’m smiling reading your comment, thank you Chris🙏. Now come on, go get some sleep! Cheers mate
Thanks for the inspiration paul, so much more enjoyable than other youtube guitar tutorials 👍🎸👍🎸
Thanks Paul 😊
Gorgeous Paul! If I could pick up a small portion of this I’d be thrilled!
Thanks Jeff! Hope you’re doing well👍
Great playing and your hard tail strat is sick. That looks like the most comfortable neck to play and the tone is beautiful. Great lesson also, Thanks.
Thanks Steve 👍
I'm noticing how, though this vid is meant to be a lesson, it still makes
for great and inspiring listening...
Cheers mate
That makes me smile Jonny, because I tried to do just that. Appreciated mate 🙏
So frickin' good man ! Thanks. I could work on this for a year !
Thank you Tim 😊
Hey Paul, Congratulations on the Oswald Strat !!! Looks and sounds amazing. Keep these lessons going mate. A great series of lessons 👍
I will keep coming back to them until I share with you my amateur progress 😁
Thank you Amr! Delighted to see your name pop up on my comments. And yes, I’d always be interested to see how your playing is progressing. You have that enquiring mind….. Well happy noodling Amr 👍
love your stuff, such a creative and free flowing player! keep it up
Thank you cinnabong! And I’ve just watched your recommendation…. Empty Rooms Live in Stockholm…. Awesome!
@@paulstaffordcook8799 gary on a strat is a fine thing indeed!
Great lesson. Greatings from Poland.
Thank you Marek, appreciated 😊
Very sweet playing
Cheers Michael
Your playing is amazing, and I love the tone of the gitfiddle as well.
Thank you Mea Dish, cheers 😊
Very nice collage of tones with the Oswald.👌
Over used is completely underrated.😆
Well, you are certainly enjoying the playability of your new relic😉
Thanks GW. Yes, I’m loving it. 😊
Thanks for the ideas 💡
My pleasure, cheers Jeff 👍
Great stuff Paul, love your videos and your great playing. Best wishes to you and your family from a fellow guitarist/teacher in Glasgow.
Thank you Frank, appreciate your compliment, especially coming from you 👍
The Oswald awakens! Glorious tones abound, and could it be that this guitar has found it's amp? I'd say 'probably' and reserve further opinion until I hear it through the Marshall. Of course, the Cornell is my personal favourite amongst your amps so I am biased from the get go. Tonally here I just love that middle pickup. Now there's a statement you don't often hear about Strats. As 'clean' tones go this combo is pretty hard to beat. It might be nice to hear the Cornell and one of the other amps together, although it might be a bugger to record using your lovely simple set up.
These 'Tricks of the Trade' have been really superb. I have already visited them more than once and will continue to do so until I have absorbed (STOLEN, if truth be known) as much as I can. It's the thought process as much as the dexterity that is so bloody impressive.
Thank you for that lovely comment Peter. Yes, I think I’ll do a vid soon where I run the Oswald through each of my 3 amps, back to back. Might be fun. I’m totally bonding big time with that Strat 🙏
Nice playing Paul, that guitar really suits your style…I think it’s a keeper😉
Thanks xlp3t3r 😊
I think I speak for many 'intermediate' players, when I say this series has been really inspirational and provided so many 'ah ha' moments - thank you .
Thank you Stephen, it’s been a pleasure doing it. 😊
I stumbled across this site and was totally Blown Away unbelievable how everything you play is so tasty and delicious and wonderful you make it seem so easy.
Thank you so much Cory, I’m smiling as I read your comment. Appreciated 😊
What a beautiful tone
Thanks Paul 😊👍
Very nice video. Playing off the chord shapes has been something I fell into a while back. It really has opened up different avenues for me. So many great players take that approach. Nashville cats or Rockabilly players, Bluegrass. Nice to see your interpretation of how you approach it 😊
Thanks Danny
This was really good ... thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, cheers Roger 👍
B for Blues - I regularly use B minor - great info and video as always Paul- PS loving that Strat by the way
Thank you Les. And “B for Blues”…. Yeah, I like that 🤘
Wow... I've been looking for these types of videos... where someone just noodles all kinds of cool stuff centered around a chord. Was searching for "riffs in E"... but most all is just a riff or two... not loads of idea like this is! Was sad when I watched the last one now. Please consider doing more of this type? Your playing/phrasing is so great! Does anyone know of more videos like this??? Please. Thanks Paul!
Thanks man, what a lovely comment! I appreciate that 👍. I’ll certainly do more lesson based vids in the future.
Nice lesson as usual...Man that guitar looks nice!
Thank you Wayne 😊
I’m not sure, but I think it was near the 6:35 mark when you were playing the Middle Eastern stuff that I felt tempted to sing a melody from the musical Oliver, “You’ve got to pick a pocket or two!”
Professor P.S. Cook - love your lectures-from Newport Beach ca.
Thank you Dr. Frankenstrat 😊👍
Paul - i must inform you that the association of magicians and conjurers "the magic circle" has a strict code to keep all the secrets of their illusions from public knowledge. a musical association, The Worldwide Family of Guitar Players, has a similar code of practice which you, with your series of videos, have now broken into tiny pieces. thanks. more power to you. now i have to get to the washing up before wifey comes back. been playing things from this B minor vid all afternoon. wonderful. youre amazing.
Ah, thank you so much tonyboy, comments like this make it all worthwhile 😊
Ta for sharing these tricks
My pleasure NorthernMonkey, cheers for watching 😊
I love me some "b."
THANKYOU.
Thank You!!
Cheers Paul
Hi Paul...I was just this morning messing around with the key of B. Its not a fequently trafficked neighborhood for me so it felt a bit akward..I will watch this straightaway and see how your discoveries compare to mine! Cheers!
Thanks Robert. Yeah, I feel I had to work a little harder with B, compared to the other keys…. Well happy noodling Robert 😊
Gday mate, merry new year to you and your family!
New to your channel, just like to say (from what I’m hearing) you have some impeccable taste in your guitars! This Strat sounds and looks absolutely awesome! I’m gonna do some research on this Oswald (as well as the Tele and yet to watch ‘52 LP)
Take care (beautiful work btw)
👍🇦🇺
Thank you Shane! (And sorry for late reply - currently trying to tame a 9 week old puppy 😫, hence no time). Anyway, thanks for stopping by the channel. Hope you enjoy my guitars. 😊
@@paulstaffordcook8799
Hahaha, we’re still trying to sort out our 1 year old pup! I’m still making my way through your videos and filling in the dots (of where I’m at in my playing life)!
Your videos are awesome sir, good luck with the pup (look forward to a video intro at some stage) all the best mate!
👍🇦🇺
Cheers Shane 😃
I've been looking for this for a long time as my kids would say "pretty dope"
Thanks Dtwenty 51 👍
aww man, imagine if your string broke before you could resolve that scale, head explosion :) once again, so much food for thought, really enjoyed these breakdown video's, just wish you had posted them 30 years ago Loving your tones with the strat, where's ma Knopler :) thanks pal
Thanks Charlie. Yes, I’ve had someone else request some Knopfler too….. so you’re not alone 🤣. He wants some Lady Writer…. Ok, I’ll see if I can put it within my list of the next 3 vids 👍
Hey Paul, Love the series. A heap of great tricks and I'm still working through them all. Could you also do a 'Tricks of the trade' in drop D? Thanks man.
Thank you Andrew! Ok, I’ve added your request to my wee list, so I’ll see if I can come up with something. Might not be my next vid, but soon 😊
Paul, you've just confirmed that all Auld Reekie people are show offs hehe, fabulous tones and playing as always, good sounds from the old strat too. Now, for the weekly story. Fella comes home from work and his missus is standing in the hall wearing a very short negligee and nothing else, he says "oh yeah ! What's all this then ?", she says "happy birthday darling, you know how you've always wanted me to get a tattoo but i never fancied one, well I've finally got one just for you ", she turns round and and lifts up her negligee and she's got a W on each cheek, the husband explodes shouting " who the f.... is WW ?, she says "Don't be daft, when I bend over it spells WOW. Take care pal.
Burst out laughing at that one !! I can see me telling that one down the pub to fits of laughter 🤣. Cheers John
I would certainly second the notion of an album. I don't buy many albums these days but this would be a no-brainer!
Ah, thank you Geoff. Maybe one day. 😊
Ah Paul!!! Haven’t seen your stuff In a while - missed it!
Thank you Jay 👍
S style guitars are awesome
Hey Paul, great video yet again. I'd love to hear that Oswald through all your amps. I particularly remember the clean strat tone from your Vox Ac30s1 video being amazing, im curious how this strat would compare to your old one.
Thanks Z S. And yes, that would an interesting vid! I’ll add that to my upcoming list of vids to do 👍
I love your new Oswald hardtail strat...I'd order one, but I'm not worthy. I have a really nice Nash strat already, the only strat I've ever bonded with, but Nash just buys bodies, necks, hardware, and pickups, then puts it all together - giving it his "magic" (many others do it now too). Oswald makes everything himself, yet sells them for about the same as Nash, when he should be asking 2-3 times as much. Nacho Banos sells his for more - there is one of his telecasters on Reverb for ~$5K. At that price, Oswald will get so backordered he'll never keep-up with demand. I understand he does it out of love, not to make money, but he should charge market value. He is like a Stradavarius (Stratavarius?). That hardtail of yours sounds so sweet, because your love for it makes you play your best, and you are a great player anyways. With a dad like you have, I can understand how you got into music and guitars - quite a collection he has! I never liked strats until 15 years ago, when I found my used Nash hanging on the wall at Guitar Crazy in Portland. Wish it was a hardtail - don't use the wang-bar much, but the trem-block does change the sound and adds sustain, although maybe not as "woody"? That strat of yours just sounds SO good, your love for it makes your playing shine. Love listening - cheers!
Thank you Pharmer David. Yes, I have to agree with you that Nick’s prices should be revisited. This in genuinely the best Strat I’ve ever played. Anyway, I enjoyed reading your words, thank you 😊
Not the most popular key for guitarists…..but some great possibilities using Bm and Fsharp minor…..(try Segovia guitar study number 5). Loved the key changes here….and the bends….such a great sound on that guitar. Pure Fender. Thanks a lot 👍🍷
Thank you Emlyn, cheers mate 😊
Guitar sounds ace !
Thanks Brendan 👍
Thanks for all your efforts, I’ve got some great moves from watching you. Just wondering about the key of C. It’s got open strings a plenty. Please and thanks. Aloha
Thanks Toastoftown.
Good stuff. Also saw a trick from Jedd Hughes for playing in B.. Drop the G string down to F#.
Thanks Brad. Yes, I’ve yet to check that guy out. As soon as Tom B made reference to him, I added his name to my do list of people to check out 🤣
In the key of wow.love your ability
Thanks Ron 😊
13:44 onwards sold me on the Oswald 😍
Paul, live dangerously and take the great playing style of yours and write a song (?)
BTW, the tones you're getting from the Oswald are really delicious...
Sounds as if you enjoy makin' as much as I luv listenin'
Thanks Jonny 😊
Thanks for another helping hand fella, have you did something to the guitar? If it was acoustic it sounds like it's opening up. Respect and stay healthy all. 👍
@paul yer uncle's got another album out Plexi, insrumental, tones sublime. Hang tight kid.
Love your playing and content man. - which ace is this? Gorgeous
Thank you Chrohm 😊
Hi Paul wondering what fret size you ordered for your lovely Oswald stat.thanks for all you teach us.brilliant.
Hi Stephen. Nick says they are “Jescar - tall narrow”. I’m very happy with them. Cheers Stephen
Mate, I haven't got a fuckin clue what you're talking about but that Oswald sounds great bud!👍
🤣, thank you teddy boy 👍
Haha showing my age the Beatles... nice playing Paul, do you like jazz? just curious with your chord knowledge sounds sweet..
Thanks Jason 😊. As regards Jazz… I love jazzy lines and inflections within the blues etc…. But I can’t quite enjoy straight up jazz yet. For example I LOVE Julian Lage… he’s incredible. And yet 80% goes over my head. But that 20% ….. oh my god, he blows my mind.
Hi Paul, that Oswald strat sounds wicked! what pickups are there in it? stock? Thanks!
Thanks Migueltxum 👍. Nick Oswald built them and he calls them “Hot Oswald ‘62s” which are 5-10% overwound. But all three pickups also have baseplates, like a Tele bridge pickup”, which is not normal for Strats.
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Thanks man, I guess it's a cmbination of wood, craftmanship, bridge, pickups and a fantastic player that does it all. But I was curious about those pickups. I guess now I need a hardtail strat...
Do you know the readings of the pickups BTW sounds fantastic…I have a great Stratocaster with great pickups but I own a 1994 Albert Lee Musicman hard tail and the pickups need replacing would you recommend the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Strat pickups or ???? Something else…your Romany amp is fantastic….in my past I’ve always love 2x6v6 pickups best but that 1x6L6 Romany amp is magic sounding in America we have Allen Amplifier that make a Chihuahua amp Blackface and tweed with reverb
Thanks Dale! I’m not sure of the DCR readings…. But I know two things (1) when I swap my guitars around between my Gibsons, Tele and then Strat I’m experiencing the same overall volume between guitars (whereas my old custom shop 60’s Strat was noticeably quieter in output), and (2) Nick says he wound them deliberately 5-10% hotter than his normal Oswald 62s, PLUS all three pickups have baseplates, adding to the output. 👍
@@paulstaffordcook8799 I suspect baseplates can be a bit of a Strat pickup secret sauce. I picked up a really cheap Strat copy for a song, a wiggle and a frivolous tap-dance, and didn't expect much but was actually impressed by the pickups. Turned out somebody had modded the cheap pickups with baseplates which is why they sounded so punchy... almost P90 like.
What was the dimunushed chord in the first example please.
Hi Alwyn. I’m actually not sure how to answer that…. because diminished chords are the same every three frets up the neck…. And so I’ve no idea which note you would call the route. Best I can suggest is to slow my CZcams video down and see exactly where my fingers are going, cheers 😊
GUILTY AS CHARGED! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
hardtail ash/maple strat. What a combo eh?
Yes, a winning combo. And very vintage. Cheers topografer 👍
Those notes. That melody. Those notes just melt into a beautiful soulful array of bluesy goodness. Thr neck on that one. Mmmm !
Thanks crazywisdom2👍. Loved your description 😊
man, watching these "tricks of the trade in the key of " made me put my floyd rose ibanez on craigslist..... its a beautiful s series, but i never really bonded with it... watching these videos made me realize why. trem bridges just aren't for me. gonna go pick up a hard tail s series.
Well thank you Brown Fox, your comment makes me smile. Happy jammin man, I’m whatever axe you end up settling on. Cheers 😊
What ? Sir Paul with a Strat ??? 😉 heavy relic 54 type , which make ?
Hi Gilles 👋. Yes, I thought that might peek your interest 🤣. It seems my last Strat (the white custom shop) must just have been the wrong match for me. This one was a custom “built to order” from Dutch luthier Nick Oswald. I absolutely adore it. Cheers Gilles, nice to see you stopping by the channel.
@@paulstaffordcook8799 hi Paul, it looks I missed some episodes of your musical journey. Your Strat is impressive, but heavy relic is not my thing ... except for the Rory Gallagher strat 😁 Anyway , what counts is tone and bonding with yours . Cheers 👍
E in the books, and now B. Well Paul, I'm stealing all of your sh*t. Sorry, not sorry!!
Steal away Mr. Joshua 😊🤣
Wow 4 thumbs down ....what are those people on, what do they expect when it's already perfect.
Thanks Neil 🤣🙏
Paul, do you teach lessons?
Hi 👋. I used to do Skype lessons but stopped due to a lack of time (and the Skype technology can be a bit glitchy). So no, it’s just CZcams lessons. However, if anyone happens to be in Edinburgh and wants a face to face lesson…. 👍
noisy damn switch on that guitar
