I got to take home Les Paul’s personal Gibson L5CES... and borrow it for a few days. I worked up a version of “In The Mood” that he and Mary Ford recorded, and I also learned a lot about the man and his inventions!

There's this kid Austin [edit] young man [\e], he runs the channel 'The Trogly's Guitar Show'. If you want to learn about the plethora of specialty Les Paul guitars over the years, he features something new almost every day, and teaches the audience of all the finer details. I have learned so much from Austin, fun channel, and a good guy.
Excellent job Tim, you exemplify exactly what Mr. Les Paul was, a phenomenal player and a gentleman of the truest sense. Thank you.
Now I am "In the mood" to practice.
Aren't we spoiled with so many great content? Ahah
You can check out the channel Now You Shred, guy does an amazing job with backing tracks and such
I'm out of the mood because I'm having club date flashbacks from that tune. 😂
@@marike1100 hey G if you still have that mojo going on sure you should go back chasing the beauties lol
THANKS for playing that all the way. Monster tone, great chops(!)
THIS is very cool. And the 45 of "In The Mood" was backed/with "A String of Pearls" if I remember correctly, and had a purple label. Probably still have that one from my Dad's original collection. I started life hearing all that stuff when we were living in a four-room, tarpaper shack in the Tiger Hole section of Jacksonville ...
Thanks Tim. It’s a pleasure to have these videos to learn from
That is awesome Tim.......Les is smiling down on that performance !
Esa introducción es pura crema!
Listened to your opening song a dozen times, that was great!! Gonna put in my head so i will smile all day playin it over and over.
Thank you. I appreciate what you just did for me.
It's always a pleasure to watch you play! You express so much joy!
Gotta love those classic tunes. Thanks as always, Tim 👌😊👍🎸
That was awesome Tim!!! Thanks!!!!
Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed that - thank you.
Great playing, as usual Tim! Enjoyed!
Wow...Great playing and that tone is awesome!
Great playing, great tone and all while having a ball! Awesome Job Tim! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That has to be one of the most fun things I've seen you play in a long time, in terms of light fun things to do. Love the L5. Wish I could afford one.
Of course, you played it with class and respect and the kind of prowess that only you can do, Tim. There seems to be no style you can't play.
Thanks buddy! Been a Les Paul guy for over 40 years I love my Es335s also but my main tool in the music tool box are my LPS
I love Gibsons and Les Paul guitars in particular. Awesome video as usual, Tim!
Simply amazing and fascinating performance.
Dude...the first 2 minutes of this video? Beautiful. Truly artwork! Thanks Tim!
Picked up my guitar the first 45seconds of this video. Wonderful!
Tim, you are an inspiration!!
so clean!
great! rockn rolly,tim!
Great playing Tim as usual and really interesting to hear you discuss Les Paul :)
killer! watched it a few times today!
stunning guitar that L5
Another great video. You make it look so easy. Would like to mention that Jeff Beck Les Paul with the wraparound bridge is famous for being used on “blow by blow“ which I think is the best jazz fusion album ever done. I certainly wore mine out in high school.
I might want to check out videos on CZcams from les and his nightclub with guest guitarists
Tim, that was awesome! I have to agree, the Les Paul is the greatest guitar ever made!
love your tutorials as well!
I think you only have to listen to the Almond Brothers and for me the one song that may portray the Les Paul sound better than any other, Mississippi Queen by Mountain, to realize how great this guitar is, tuning problems or no. Also a lot of Who and Zeppelin songs were done on that guitar. My vote for the best all time guitar, at least for rock.
Your tutorials are awesome!!! I learned many of songs from your tutorials over the years- I suffered a head injury last year and guitar has become something I've had to frustratingly re-learn - so going back has been a huge help to getting my coordination and cognitive stuff back in order as a form of rehab. Thanks for all you do!!! Ps. love the snippets and background stuff you talk about as well on the songs and artists!, Cheers, ReedO
You Go Tim!!!!!!
Awesome video! Thanks!!!
Les and Mary would approve sir you are amazing.
Wonderful!
I don't know what is the coolest thing about this video, the guitars, the jam Tim was playing or Tim himself .
Tim, you are AMAZING! thank you. any chance you will teach this arrangement in the Master Class at some point? I'm already a "free" subscriber to your website, but I will gladly take out an annual subscription just to have you teach us your arrangement of this classic song! Thanks
I was a drummer in the marching/symphonic bands but the guitarist in the stage band in the late 60s in high school. This video brings back all kinds of wonderrful memories about learnong jazz standards and developing my chord vocabulary. I owned a Les Paul and a Gibson 335 in the 70s but I had lots of tuning problems with them and others I knew had problems with the necks breaking so I have played strats ever since. If they ever make a les paul that has a 25.5 " scale has a straight string pull, a one piece bolt on neck, double cutaway and islighter and balanced I would give it try. I also hated the way my back felt after 4 hours of performing with a Les Paul. He was a great musician and inventor but I didn't like his guitar at all.
That was fun.
Don't forget one of Lester's unique inventions....he also invented the 'HARMONICA HOLDER". Where would Bob Dylan be without it? Hey you had an early pic of Les wearing one in the book!
WHAT A GUITAR!
Nice version!!
Two-plus thumbs up!! 👍👍👍
Wish you'd do more on Les Paul's playing
Awesome job.

Wow Lucky You Great Job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Chet Atkinsesqe Tim is a master absolutely fantastic
@Groove Worshipper I respect your opinion but to say he's "only playing the melody" really does understate Tim's ability. I know of a few people who would love to "only" play the melody on this and would feel accomplished. It almost appears that, today, nothing satisfies unless criticised first.
Granted that chet was someone with fantastic ability, unparalleled in many ways, but this isn't a walk in the park either to, say, a budding musician.
Hope all is well your side!
@Groove Worshipper not at all, sir/madame. The original comment was referring to Chet whereas I stated Tim's playing isn't a walk in the park for a budding musician. All the best.
Wow Tim! That could have come off the Les Paul and Mary Ford show from 1952!
L-5s are great Jazz boxes, but they're a bit too big for me lol...btw: they originally came strung with heavy gauge 12s or 13s, with a wound third! "Gosh!" 😲
Hi Tim... always a fan of your Job... Which is that mic pre neve clone just above the Apogee symphony? Best always...
As expensive as they are, I've seriously considered buying an L-5. I have an ES-175 and it's great but it ain't an L-5! I watch Rich Severson's YT channel. Rich is one fine jazz cat and he excellently demo's lots of archtops. One he really likes and is more affordable than an L-5 is the Heritage Golden Eagle. Now THAT's a great archtop guitar, made in the same factory that many L-5's were built in! Heritage makes awesome guitars, many rival or excel their Gibson counterparts. 😊
The most expensive sale at that auction was a 1951 Nocaster with Leo Fender's signature on the back of the headstock. It looked new. Presale estimate was $40k-ish, it sold for $260,000. Given to LP by Leo, no doubt in an attempt to woo him to Fender. Didn't work, and the unplayed condition of the guitar indicates LP wasn't a fan. His loss. Now that's a guitar!
Wish i could play just a little like that. Sh*t nice job.
RESPECT
Awesome 50's style jazz playing Tim! My vote is the Les Paul is the best overall rock guitar. I just wonder why some have a muddy sound and others don't. There is nothing muddy about Whitesnake's, Beck's, or Zeppelin's solos. Is it the player or the pickups?
Nice job and a beautiful and rare guitar. The tone is a bit hard and metallic though as the action is very low. Also thanks for the all the Les Paul info.
Tim, I think you need to show your project guitars. If you don't have any, start making them and show us ;) Did you ever try a Strat with an Armstrong Blender mod? or a Tele with a 4-way switch? If not then get to it :)
Outstanding time in the intro. How much of your career success do you think is because of your time keeping skills?
That was the first thing that stuck me about his playing when first hearing him years ago. The man's his own Atomic Clock. Just incredible.
Whenever I see this guitar I think Wes Montgomery.! L5
first...
fans forever
#respect
I read that LP was trying to get a guitar with low impedance(?) pickups. Anything ever come of that? Are there production models out there?
Is that your PRS McCarty in the background?
I was gonna borrow it. So your the one that got it before me.
How did Les Paul record his guitars? He went direct... into what? Not an amp and speaker with mic... right?
There is no amp distortion (right?) on his sound but sounds warm
I want to download this version..
Did Norm have to pry that L5 out of your hands to get it back?
I'd give a million dollars to be able to play that!
I'd give my right arm to be able to play like that! :)
I love your playing Tim you are one of my all-time favorites but in this I hear what sounds to me like someone who has been playing to a click too much.
Auction ?!? Like did they have to close the books for real this time ?
Someone should create an app that uses facial recognition to create guitar tones based on the user's expressions and head movements.
Dont give'em any ideas 😆
Pro
Great feel in that track Tim shows how great song in any genre is just great music....except mumble rap I dare say 🤣
Maybe against young white males who seem to be the main purveyors 😉
Rick Danner if your white and you’re a white racist does a tree still fall in the forest 🤣
Tim Les Paul did not invent the LP guitar, he was an endorser, Gibson wanted with a musician endorsement since Gretsch was having good luck with their association with Chet Atkins. The les paul was developed in house in Gibson and Les was an endorsement deal.
Thanks!!
Does anyone else find the LP a bit muddy?
@guitarsurfer2010 i gots a good tube amp. Maybe the L.P isn't suited to my playing style.
I would be curious to hear your "mud." Perhaps it is an eq issue. I am sure you can find what you are looking for with an LP. 👍
I do like them, but never enjoyed playing. Each to their own as you say.
No!
No it doesn't. Get some better quality speakers and sound card. You guys sure like to show off your supposed knowledge of tube amps and speakers. Tim can make shit sound good so drop it.
You look like the dad from “get out”
If someone had plugged Les into an SD-1 he would have kicked all the 80s shredders apart.
Does anyone in the world enjoy playing guitar than this guy?
Sounds like better caul saul intro
As I recall, when young he badly broke his arm. The doctors wanted to amputate. He had them pin it in a position that allowed him to keep playing guitar.
Oh,so that's what I do wrong ...I play drum parts on my guitar.Not just when it's needed but all the time ,everytime!😕
You should be a studio musician ... lol
DO I SEND THE $4.95 TO YOU OR DIRECTLY TO NORMAN ??
