Imagine being such a legend that Paul Reed Smith himself just casually gives you a call and it’s a normal occurrence.
Or even being able to say "Paul Reed Smith is a friend of mine"
@@Icu__hotel_hotel Does that mean only friends can buy a The Paul Guitar?
@@Axe_Slinger once I heard a guy calling prs guitars lels pauls and I suddenly wanted to share this xd
Is this Paul a famous person?
@@dimitriospapadimitriou2498 to some. Some people geek about guitar brands and builders than the others so I think it's partly due to that :D If it weren't for a few names like this one on youtube I probably never would've known what that PRS thing stands for I mean
Not gonna lie: when Tyler said Rob, for a second I thought he was on about Rob Scallon
Ngl I did too
Same here
same
Yup
It’s not?
I think doing a more than words cover with this would be absolutely insanty.
Agree, would love and awesome to hear it.
More than 'Little Wing'?
Pretty darn amazing instrument.
This absolutely looks like something Prince would play.

@RC32 you're omnipresent on youtube
*would have played
Mike Oldfield!
@@elilitman4894 why thank ye
@@palashkohli5847 haha! thank ye!
Listen from 13:15 to bypass the talk and intro stuff and hear this instrument well played. I love the sound of the lowest "harp" string. The timbre of the harp compliments the acoustic guitar very nicely. Beautiful sound!
It's fantastic!
I have heard it before, I think,... but can't name it. Hendrix or Pink Floyd? Little Wing?

@@timf3304 Little Wing ~ Hendrix 🥰
thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks
Most mesmerizing version of Little Wing I've heard... great choice of a song for that beautiful harp guitar, and played in the most appropriate style.
Fell in love with this instrument 35 years ago watching to Micheal Hedges play one on VH1, Immediately went out and bought his "Live from the Double Planet" CD. The sound still gives me chills.
It started and I thought, "That sounds like Little Wing". And then, "Oh right that's what he's doing".
Did the exact same
No, I love it! I’m a 68 year old former drummer/percussionist who was in a number of rock bands in the late 60’s, 70, 71. Unfortunately I had a catastrophic accident in April of that last year which left me unable to continue my musical life apart from listening…. I hope you continue to let us follow your progression with the instrument. Rodney Davenport…. Go Braves!
Sorry to hear about your accident. Making music is so important to me that I couldn't imagine having it taken away. But I guess that's just life and we are not in control of it to a large degree. But you still have your ears for listening, and that's a blessing.
Go Braves indeed! Hope you’re well, stranger!
Keep on keeping on bro..
Hope you are doing well..
Sorry to hear about your accident Hopes will get better very soon God bless
@@romygime5822 , it was in 1971.
Such an ethereal calming sound
It almost feels nostalgic, like you're remembering some long lost life you left behind years ago or smthn
Thank you. Those are the words I was looking for. You said it perfectly.
Like your Pre-Mortal Life when you lived as a Spirit child Of Heavenly Father? Yep, same feeling.
Even if you never become a world famous Harp Guitarist, to have such a gorgeous instrument in your home shows excellent taste.
Name dropping Paul Reed Smith, that's why you know you're a boss.
Tyler getting an artist model...
@@michaellake274 dude, if Tyler can make that half fretless guitar a model, I would seriously buy that in a heartbeat
Probably called to congratulate for the "24 guitarists show you their PRS guitars" marketing video ;P
I bet he was calling about that signature guitar...
@@michaellake274 I imagine Rob looked for the best in his stock ... but I assure you they’re all incredible. Great tropical woods.
I hung in until around 13:00 and finally got to hear it played brilliantly! I have never seen one of these instruments before and you did it proud! Thanks for posting. It looks to be beautifully made with a real artisan touch and can be a treasured heirloom for generations to come. And the deep tone and those wonderful harmonics took it into the clouds! Cheers 👍😎🇳🇿🎸
check out: "muriel anderson demonstrates her doolin harp guitar..." on here. she really knows the instrument & how to play it....
If I'm not mistaken, that was a beautiful version of Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix. Brilliant!
I watched because I saw Michael Hedges in his prime in concert twice. Bought most of his albums. Cried when he had his accident. I haven't heard anyone play as beautifully since. Good luck.
My experience mirrors yours. I actually met him the second time i saw him. He wrote down the tunings for Breakfast in the Field for me!
An alien musician! Strange cat, but most geniuses are right?
The Harp part is cool and all, but holy shit, the sound of the acoustic is so good.

@@lukeponsonby7926 Quit spreading ridiculous lies about the eternal King...You too will have to answer to Him...
I’m so broke my dreams won’t even allow me to own a PRS, and this guy just casually chats with the man himself. Legend status achieved.
Dude splurge on an SE (Student Edition). I may be biased but pick up a used Custom 24 on Reverb/Ebay for $400-500. I was shocked how goodvit was with a Custom 24 I bought a Torero which features a Floyd Rose, Ebony fretboard (NO inlays), binding on the body and fretboard, and is mated with an EMG 81/85 set of pickups, I got an aqua one used for $600!
I had a 1980 Les Paul Deluxe which I couldn't bare to keep when I got an offer of $2000 for it. Honestly my 2010 Custom 24 and my Torero sounded 90% and 95% as good as my LP, different tonally but "as good overall", so my Black Beauty went bye-bye!
@@Axe_Slinger +1 for the SE recommendation! I sold an LTD Axxion and replaced it with a Holcomb SE - such a fantastic guitar! I too just parted ways with my ‘72 Les Paul Custom (‘54 Black Beauty Reissue), but the replacement with be a whole lot more modern.
I feel bad low key trashing LP’s after having been a Gibson guy for 25 years, but my playing has moved into a different space. I am much more drawn to the modern approach to building & most importantly: the modern sound. 🤘🏼😑🤘🏼
@@Axe_Slinger thanks for the tip man imma check it out I never knew about before now man
If you want the American PRS experience, though, get an S2 used. You won’t be disappointed. They’re not too expensive. I don’t own one (I have a CE 24), but I’ve played some and they are very nice! Definitely would buy one if I was on a search right now and my budget was limited.
As the guy says the tree is a big as a living room.
I've never heard of a guitar like this, it's amazing. I loved the deep bass notes and how you played it. Your music was very beautiful and peaceful. Truly amazing.
I am 67, always loved trying different instruments. I try to learn something new every day. Today I learned about the harp guitar. Thank you. Really enjoy your style.
I'm a Classically trained Pianist & I've never seen a Harp Guitar. It's beautiful, & you played it beautifully!❣
Now, I'm not a musician, but I have to say that is one beautiful instrument .

This sounded amazing man, thank you for showing what this instrument sounds like.
What a beautiful piece of wood and gorgeous instrument. This was a lot of fun and inspiring watching you try something so new to you and making such progress. I remember seeing Michael Hedges for the first time playing his harp guitar. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else play one since he died. Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.
I hope we get an “overplayed songs at harp guitar stores” soon
No, he should play the forbidden riff on a harp guitar....lol
@@sullyhet by only using the harp part so 2 octaves down
I'll take "Stairway To Heaven" for $100, Alex. : )
No stairway on harp guitar???
Denied!
That would probably be comfortably numb
ok, best version of little wing I've heard in a LONG time! **stands up and claps**
That's it, Little Wing. I knew it was a Hendrix song, I just couldn't think of the name (been a while).
Am I crazy or did he finish it with the Hollow Knight theme?

dude that Hendrix-esq song you played at the end of your video , literally brought me to tears, the thought and care taken in writing that homage is just ....... i dont even have words for it. Beautiful.
That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard you play - it was totally mesmerizing and a totally new sound to me - thanks for sharing that - made my evening !!
That piece that you played at the end sounded so beautiful. I can only imagine how incredible it will sound when you have fully mastered this unique instrument. The sound is magical, haunting in a good way.
That was "Little Wing" from Jimi Hendrix...or maybe it was the Sting version. A great song, indeed.
@@speakerman5286 thank you
Stephen Bennett is the Jedi master of the harp guitar. I've seen him a few times. Check him out.
Strangely, nobody here in the comments (that I've seen) has mentioned the groundbreaking work of Michael Hedges, perhaps the most innovative acoustic guitar player of our times. Sadly passed and far too young. He played one of these and did it justice. Here is Michael in 1986 playing Because It's There. He was one of a kind performer, player and man. I had the pleasure of driving him from Chicago Area to Milwaukee for the Inaugural Fingerstyle Guitar Festival in 1986, I believe.
I had never of him. I just Googled him and read about his life. Very talented man.
I was also thinking of Michael Hedges when he played this geetar. That was a really good hendrix vibe going too. Nice mash
he was an amazing person and harp guitarist
I agree. I think it's pretty weird no one's talking about Hedges here. I'd wager he's the premier player of this kind of guitar. His hammer-on technique really opened it up.
I’m with you on the genius of the late Michael Hedges. Tyler, please check him out.
My family and I are musicians. This instrument defies descrition. The music it produces is - WOW. I sent the video to my sister who is the guitarist in our family. I am just a pianist.
I play bass but I am really enjoying your channel. This instrument sounds beautiful. I have played bass guitar fro decades and have recently purchased a NS WAV5 electric upright bass. I'm 67 and my left hand went through some serious changes for the first couple of months. BUT NOW I can rip on it and I'm loving it.
13:16 to end .. completely sublime. Brought tears to my eyes. this instrument is like a harmonic echo chamber - your talent helped. Very beautiful.
Word up my G

That's pretty cool watching you get introduced to a new instrument. I don't play an instrument now, but others many different forms of music. This could be interesting to check back with you in a while.
That was beautiful. Not only that, but the pattern on the television behind you went with the music perfectly.
Harp guitars are awesome! 👌Great job man, sounding so good!
The harp guitar god has spoken.
Two of my favorite guitarists that do UA-cam. You should collaborate on something. I'd like to see a harp guitar collab then an 80s song collab like your Hollywood Drive 1984 album.
Throw a mix of the Guilmore vibes in from The Division then make a chill 80s from the Route 101 song. Love how funky groovy 80s that is.
High praise from one of the best harp guitar players.
is this vid about guitar orgasms?
I don't know jack about making Music, but I just Love those who do. I find the Art of making sound by any instrument is so fascinating. I'm always amazed when I see guitar or piano players sing and play a complicated instrument at the same time. My mind is ready to explode just thinking about it.
Exactly the same with me. It's like magic.
Get yourself an instrument. It doesn't necessarily need to be an expensive instrument. Anything that isn't a toy will do. Then invest a little time each week to learn to play it. Playing a musical instrument can be a very satisfying experience.
I've seen Harry Connick Jr. manage 4 different rhythms at the same time; but he's especially good at it. He was singing (the voice is an instrument) while seated at the piano playing boogie woogie (both hands) as he worked the pedals with one foot and another instrument (I forget which) with the other foot. Four different beats. Made me dizzy to watch.
Sounds like your mind is inviting you to explore this field. Even just tapping on a table and singing at the same time whatever comes through connects both hemispheres and you feel FREE. Expression of Heart and Soul is so liberating. Just get started, Frank :)
@@frostyfrances4700 Not 4 different beats, four different patterns within the same beat.
Man that is phenomenal. Not only have I never seen that instrument. But it is an incredible pairing! I look forward to future videos.
Wow is all I can say! Really beautiful instrument and beautiful sounds you make with it!
The biggest flex is being on a phone call with a guitar builder and saying, “yea Paul Reid Smith is a friend of mine.”
Thought the same....
Imagine when the builder is watching this video, and Paul actually calls on speakerphone during :p. "oh shit he was not just flexing"
I can only imagine turning up to an open mic night with one of these. Every guitarist in the audience does a double take and asks 'wtf is that' before turning to their bass players and saying 'you're fired'.
I had to come back and relisten to your last improv......takes me away...I could listen to you do that for a much longer time, Kudos!!!!
The sound of this guitar is so beautiful. I felt so into the music and sound together that I forgot about everything else. This was amazing!
Can we just appreciate for a moment the Acoustic tone that Tyler has dialed in? Gawd! Its gorgeous! That reverb sings!

My God! Beautiful tones come from the those strings. the whole experience sounded angelic!
It's just an acoustic/electric guitar and an acoustic/electric bass coupled. It sounds good because of the pickup(s?) and the delay he's using. He can play, but any gat would sound as good through the same setup.
Well put. Angelic... I should of skimmed the comments before I said amazing...
So is like having your own bass
What you played at the end sounded familiar but so different. I finally realized it was your take on "Little Wing". VERY well done.
I bet this thing would sound heavenly in open tunings
I was going to suggest that too !

Re special tunings ... may eventually need custom strings, to not put excessive tension on the harp

Nice. :)
You forgot the infamous...

That sound reminds me of when I first picked up the guitar and started learning. The sound of the acoustic was mesmerizing to me. That sound of that guitar takes me there as the sound is hallow and crisp all at the same tie with such depth that it took words away and thorough pleasure remained.
Beautiful.. I could listen to this all day, every day!
Muriel Anderson is an incredible harp guitar classical guitar player. I got a lesson from her after a show once, she’s amazing.
The resonance of that thing is beautiful!
Dude, that was awesome. It's been 3 decades since I last picked up a guitar, your video woke something up.
I hope your wife is pleased :o) :o)
Dude.... That piece you played at the end was simply mesmerizing. I don't know what style you call it, but it sounded and felt like "free-flow". I absolutely love that type of single-instrument play. Breathtaking.
It's an interpretation of Little Wing by Hendrix. "Jazzed", in the loosest sense of the term.
I love the fact that Paul Reed Smith calls him and its just like casual.

I sang in an amateur rock band, but we had a seriously skilled kid on lead guitar. PRS comes back to the green room after one our sets (didn't even look at any of the rest of us) and talks the kid up about his music, plans, future interests, technique, shakes his hand and leaves the room. The kid looks at the rest of us and says "Who was that?"

This is fascinating. You are fearless about trying it, too. Thank you for sharing your reveal. It is a lovely instrument. Really beautiful.
Andy McKee, Michael Hedges, etc... amazing stuff can be written with this instrument. And speaking from experience the sound of this thing is INSANE in real life. Not even comparable listening to it digitally
But nonetheless. Fantastic stuff as always Tyler 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I never missed a Michael Hedges concert when he was in my area, broke my heart when he passed.
@@ironmonkey1512 Yep. I'm 50+ now and Hedges was one of the best players I ever saw live. His LP "Watching My Life Go By" was played constantly in my dorm the year it came out, but the first two records are undeniable classics. Such a tragedy.
