One of the benefits of not playing a Strat for a couple of weeks (nearly) was that I was able to bond with the Les Paul a bit more....I think I could recommend this as a method to get more used to the feeling of playing a Les Paul, if, like me you left it quite late to try one....

Now we're talking. You just can't beat the tone of a great LP.

@ChristopherOrth Год назад

Most guitarists will use a lot of words to describe why they do or don't like any given guitar, but really it all simply boils down to, "this doesn't feel like my current guitars and I am not used to it" which = bad, or "this feels like my current guitars so I like it". Same applies for amps and pedals. Guitarists are far less discerning than we would like to lead others to believe.

@Fugettaboutit Год назад

You should think about top-wrapping your tailpiece or raising it, as that string angle behind the bridge is quite steep.

Prefer the Les Paul over the strat for anything that requires a little ass. Have a tele now and just traded my 2017 Mexican Strat toward a 2018 Les Paul Studio. Between the tele and the les paul I have my bases covered pretty well for the average Joe.

@michaelzschoche2746 Год назад

Man that was some super melodic, dynamic, and amazing playing. Bravo sir!

@jakollee Год назад

This is one of your intro tracks that call to my mind words such as "stately," "gravitas," and "epic" - something about the beat, the bass, etc. Really enjoyable!

@chrisgmurray3622 Год назад

I love your playing for how it feels and from the source and intention that I infer you expressing as you go. I enjoy it because it (hate to use the term but it's the correct one), resonates with me, rather than being just a technical contrivance to study.

@MrTPF1 Год назад

Wow on the playing! Some of the nicest tones and progressins I've ever heard.

Love to see the LP getting some love, always nice to change things up i reckon…

@mortonwilson795 Год назад

Lovely playing up front! I bought my 1968 LP Custom from a friend in 1974 and it was my only guitar all thru my band days. I 1982 Roland gave me a Made in Japan (by Ibanez, I think - it came with the 300 Guitar Synth, which I demoed for them in NZ) . I pretty much used it all thru the 80's in the studio. I love both, have picked up a Mex Strat since and recently the Epi 59 Gibson 'partnership' which is lovely, and the Epi Cantrell 'Wino' Custom which I'm going to mod a bit with Monty's pick-ups.

@revolead Год назад

John, you always sound great regardless of the guitar. I started on a Les Paul/SG-like Epiphone from the 70s (my dad gave me his old electric) with a flat radius and two humbuckers. Strats were weird to me for years, especially not picking on the middle pickup, and it took me a long time to find one I loved enough to buy. Now, I own 3 Strats, one of them a K-Line (thanks to you), 5 Les Pauls, and 2 Super Strats. None of them have anything in common, either in neck profiles, fretboard radii, or pickup styles. But I get along with all of them. I do have to adjust my playing a bit, but I like that each they force me to try different techniques, tones, and approaches to playing. I honestly won't buy a guitar that is too similar to one I already own for that reason.

@p0indexter624 Год назад

nice demonstration of les paul tone and nice chops

@alinchitown7556 Год назад

There are 3 guitars every guitar player should own a Paul, a Strat, and a Tele, with those 3 in your arsenal your good to go. BTW nice chops.

@christopherjbutler Год назад

I have played primarily a strat for most of the serious part of my musician life, and got my first LP a very luck of the draw excellently done Firefly knockoff a couple years ago and finally I get what it brings to the table and it is also great

@jerrymckenzie1858 Год назад

It doesn't matter which guitar you play - you seem to be able to get YOUR sound!

@robertyboberty Год назад

Took me a while to get used to them too, but once you've done it you've done it. I enjoy playing in the cutaway now, it feels like you're reaching for the notes

@USAforgotGoldenRule Год назад

Congratulations!

@Dram1984 Год назад

I’m with you on overly figured tops. I think ever since veneers became common on $200-$400 guitars it’s made figuring look cheap. Figuring used to be a nice little bonus and was usually light and imperfect.

@isaiahmarquez9717 Год назад

I love Les Paul’s. Initially, they didn’t love me. Took me awhile to really get good with it’s lack of ergonomics. But it’s worth it. I have 2 Gibson Les Paul Customs (‘57 reissue, Axcess w/FR), 2 PRS (Custom 24, McCarty 594), and 1 Fender American Standard Stratocaster. All great guitars. Some overlap. Some are for specific purposes. You can’t have just one!

@eoinjennings519 Год назад

Axcess is awesome !

@richfiryn Год назад

I'm going back and forth between my Gibson Les Paul Standard 50's and my Sire T7 FM. Love both of them equally.

@bayougtr Год назад

Obvious. I expected a video like this; Soft spoken narration, breathy tone and adult contemporary playing.

@mikedr1549 Год назад

I dug my Les Paul out this morning after pretty much not playing it for months. Truth be told I enjoyed the tones but I was struggling with the smaller frets (I'm used to jumbos on my Strats) and the frets felt a bit cramped up past the 12th fret. That said - it's beautiful and I should play it more often!

@thenumber1bobo 6 месяцев назад

Always the best tones from you and Paul from studio rats. So consistently perfect.

@josephdow5428 Год назад

Damn sweet tones. Needing a les paul.

@MaxPower-js1sk Год назад

I loved the Les Paul and 335 first. My heroes played those guitars in the 70s and 80s. I’ve been playing my Les Paul for decades. It might be seen as a one trick pony, but what a great trick. By the way, it still sounds like you. 😁👍

Gorges guitar mate. Thanks for sharing

@overdriveguitarchannel3403 Год назад

I have tried all kinds of guitars, but I always end up playing a Strat.....until I bought a DiMarzio PAF clone to go in one of my guitars. The guitar is magical now, and I think I just needed to try a good humbucker guitar... Now I am gassing for an SG or a 335

@andersg9451 Год назад

I have a bunch of different types of guitars. Some are of course my favorites due to gigging but I try to play them all regularly to keep my hands used to what ever I grab.

@picksalot1 Год назад

I hope you reconsider putting back the original pickups, as they had a cool Gibson vintage vibe. Just yesterday, I saw Joe Bonamassa on Normans Rare Guitars with a 1964 Strat he just purchased. 😎

@mickymalibu Год назад

I’ve been playing 44yrs, always loved the idea of a LP but never found the one ( I grew up in the beginning playing Kossofs, yeah I kid you not ) wasn’t impressed with it to be honest. I finally found mine in 2016 and absolutely love it. Took me a long time but I finally found the one,,,,,,

@landguitar Год назад

Interesting. As a longtime LP player, I'm not surprised you think the LP has more "oomph" on the bridge pickup, and up high, than the Strat! One comment on the "snobby" tops - different strokes for different folks, but I am a "connoisseur" (now THAT's snobby!) of flame and big tops, on all guitars. I'm not embarrassed to play big flame on stage! The top on yours is nice, kind of what are called "barbecue" tops because of the uniformity of the "grille" pattern, and not my fave, but yours is very nice. I hope you continue to enjoy playing a real guitar! :+)

@newstuff1107 Год назад

Naaah, just put Filtertron humbucker pickups and you’ll get the humbucker + single coil tone, all in the same guitar. That’s what I did with my Patriot Decree.

@bleigh6562 Год назад

What to play, play what gives you the most enjoyment, unless you're being payed to play then it's what's best for the situation. Great Monday intro Thank You

@williamnichols6253 Год назад

I've been torturing myself trying to figure out how to use presets dialed in for a Les Paul and switch to my strat. I'm going to try the reverse of what you're doing... I'm going to boost 600 Hertz by 12 db and take it from there. Before I was getting somewhere using a low shelf set the 2000 Hertz and below boosted 3DB, and I was happy with the sound but it definitely wasn't the same sound. Thanks!

@mathiusq9128 Год назад

Damn that flame pattern is way nicer than O usually see on a standard.

@IndioA Год назад

your action looks realy high for a les paul

@johannespatzig6218 Год назад

Great video, thank you! I’m in that exact situation with my Les Paul. May I ask: How exactly do you set the EQ for the 600 Hz attenuation? Shelf or bell? If bell, how do you set the Q? Many thanks!

@tomzeto 7 месяцев назад

this is the one guitar that has escaped my desire. After watching this video I still am not convinced... I really would like to add it to my collection but not sure if the tone is really all that unique when I already have so many guitars that can do the same thing? idk forever conflicted

@DoctorMcFarlandStudios Год назад

playing in F# major.....bold move :)

@DoctorMcFarlandStudios Год назад

pretty sure you have been releasing two videos a day for awhile now. keep cranking them out.

@synonyx Год назад

That is 100% exactly how it is when I switch between my strat and my LP.... just feels weird for a little bit.

@williamnichols6253 Год назад

What are you setting the Q (or curve) for that 600 Hertz attenuation? You are using the parametric EQ right?

@jakollee Год назад

I like PRS guitars, but I know what you mean about the aesthetics and I think that sometimes the flame patterning on them, combined with certain colors, can look a bit garish/gaudy!

@Jamalama555 Год назад

Perhaps I cold love a hallow body Les Paul.. Anything heavier then a Tele is too heavy for me.. Les Pauls are the only ones that I can think of or remember being too heavy now that I think about it. Great tone though 👌

@vitocastiglione7709 Год назад

@nolansmith843 Год назад

I haven’t seen anyone talking about adjusting the pickups really far down (almost flush with the pickup mount) on Les Paul’s, but I notice it a lot. Did you do this with yours, and if so, what is the benefit?

@padovann Год назад

I played a few shiet les pauls and was like yeah these things are totally hyped up bullshit. Then I played a great les paul and was like okay it’s not even possible but… they aren’t hyped enough.

@MrBossei Год назад

I always come back to strats. Had three Les Pauls and loved them initially but… Great for lead playing but too bassy on the neck pickup. And the weight. A Strat is much more twangy and dynamic. And then we have the ergonomics. Not great with a Les Paul. I much prefer the SG. Lighter, more ergonomic, more focused in the tone, less bass on the neck pickup. More twangy. More “stratty”.

@leemeyer7629 Год назад

If the neck is bassy it's because you clearly haven't made the necessary EQ adjustments. Nothing beats a properly EQ'd Les Paul neck for lead tones imo, it just sings

@MrBossei Год назад

@@leemeyer7629 A matter of taste of course. Personally I love the sound of Stratocaster neck pickups. But I see what you mean.

@leemeyer7629 Год назад

@@atrosion1097 Agree with everything you said. My main axe right now in a 2015 PRS Singlecut 245. All the tonal properties of a Les Paul at a fraction of the weight. Rock on🤘

You can’t play Jazz on a Stratocaster. Why? Too twangy. No bass.

@lifeinlimbo2186 Год назад

I would love to own some Les Paul's. But since they charge a ridiculous amount of money for them,I charge a ridiculous amount of money to play them or give any feedback about them.

@kennyh5083 Год назад

I absolutely LUV the Les Paul body style but I absolutely hate ALL non-bolt-on neck guitars! So my pick is the old Warmoth Les Paul! (which I have as a pattern for all my Les Paul builds, and also have a Warmoth PRS style bolt-on pattern as well) I'm 67 and have owned all kinds and learned the hard way about guitars. Had Carvin's I loved but when I needed a fret-job had to send the whole guitar off, never again! And my bolt-on neck guitars sounded as good if not better to my ears than any of the others! and unbolting a neck and replacing it with a fresh one is just too simple! No worries about the paint getting chipped, or body getting dented, so never ever again will I buy or own a non-bolt-on neck guitar!

@ChristopherOrth Год назад

If anyone is still frustrated with the shit tuning stability of your Les Paul, just replace the nut (and probably bridge) and those issues disappear. Shameful of Gibson to put out a 3k guitar with such an obvious and easy issue to fix. And if you are in the market for a Les Paul Jr, buy a Reverend Sensei Jr instead. it's a far better instrument at a fraction of the price.

@gffg387 Год назад

@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241 Год назад

@aliensarereal7832 Год назад

I build my own les paul style guitars and fix all the shit that gibson does wrong. They have to please all the losers that want vintage shit. I don't. Building one right now with a pes trem and some pretty cool electronics I've put in other guitars. Five way switch where a tone control was and the tone control is going where the 3 way was with a push pull to cut coils to single coil. Did this for a pro and he loves it.
