Words aren't enough to describe Paul's ability and importance to the pedal steel world.
P.S - Let's hear some Albanian Dubstep.
10:59 Knopfler alert! Somehow I just *knew* Paul was going to play the Calling Elvis riff/bed. What a fantastic lesson. Absolutely packed with taste and thoughtfulness, and a story of how struggle leads to soul, failure to success. Thank you, Mr. Zappa, for a great presentation. 14:21 ooo, I thought Paul was about to go into a Telegraph Road riff.
If you meet Paul, you'll swear he's the nicest guy in the world. No exaggeration. And amazing player!
Love Paul Franklin. Very humble and down to earth.
Listening to Paul Franklin talk about both Miles Davis and the imperfections of an echoplex just made my day. He's one of the best musicians around in my humble opinion.
More with Paul Franklin, please.
Loved the part about 9:45 in where Paul describes his first "Conquering Mount Everest' moment. 😀
Wow.
Just......Wow....
I grew up learning to play in the 1980s.
It was an era of technologically marvelous guitar virtuosos dominating radio waves and magazine covers, and in my neck of the woods, if you couldn’t “shred” like those types of players....you “sucked”.
I came to a point where I could continue the the immense work needed to play as complicated and fast lines as I could, or I could rebuild my style and learn to play what came most naturally to me.
These days, great players are recognized for great playing, and not just graded on the scale of technical difficulty of their compositions. To me, it just warms the heart to see such humble virtuoso players like Paul Franklin and Dweezil Zappa taking time to educate musicians about making great, tasteful music.
“Well, I’ll BUILD one of these things! 🤷🏼♂️”
Paul is just too good. Thanks for this.
So very talented. Such a great artist that, sadly, is not as well known as the artists he's worked with. Check out his albums or Bakersfield, the one he recorded with Vince Gill.
Dweezil and Paul. Two greats.
This whole series is so inspirational A+++! Thank you Dweezil & D'Addario & Paul Franklin & all the other guests!
They MUST record a collaboration album!
Paul is simply the best. Love this!
okay now THIS is epic
Great intro! And great video too. Paul is really amazing and we had the pleasure to play with him using also the cool pedals of our friend Sage Benado. Wonderful memories!
Great video and commentary by one of the best ever. I’ve been studying his work, learning his licks and stealing from his creativity for many years and now studying the Paul Franklin Method with Paul for almost a year now. Every lesson from rudiments to advanced is an epiphanic AHA moment. I can’t thank him enough for the opportunity and his feedback.
Beautiful interview. But this nicely-produced and directed video will revolutionize music of all genres and styles. Would like to see a full-length biographical documentary on Paul Franklin. Thank your Mr. Franklin and keeper-of-the-flame Mr. Dweezil Zappa.
No question - there should already be an in-depth view of Paul's experiences. He is like a fighter pilot in an F-18. One of the best things about him is that there is no overabundance of ego there. The "Franklin" pedal and the octave lever are nuts.
Both of these professionals are so well spoken. Great information, great interview.
Wishing I could make those noises. So sick
5:33 Love that lick
Another great interview , thanks!
The sounds you can get out of a pedal steel guitar always amazes me. Love seeing The Dweez talk music with people, too. Hopefully one day we will have a chance to chat :P
Paul Franklin is a Legend. Great interview Love this series
Paul & Dweezil what a great video !!
So cool!
Ok, THIS is epic.
Paul Franklin is the best there is.
Agreed! Thanks for watching Shawn!
Since buddy passed.🙄
@@markbuckles6609 Well, as they say - great things are built on the shoulders of giants.
Amazing!
I could have listened to this for hours.
This is awesome. Love Paul Franklin!
Great interview!
Now that is a great interview!
Wow I've never seen two instruments have a conversation like that
Dweezil Zappa & Paul Franklin duets: new record soon! :-)
wow he's older now, i remember being blown away watching a much younger Paul Franklin ripping the ending solo to Dire Straits' Walk of Life!
I first saw Paul with Mark Knopler in London and his Notting Hillbillys band . Paul had a pony tail at that time.
When I heard him he was playing so fast I thought that MUST be Paul Franklin because no-one else at the time was playing so fast.
Love this series of videos! A lot of names and talents I hadn't seen or heard before. And dammit if pedal steel doesn't get me all weepy just hearing it!
5:33
This is amazing!
Nice People
There is only one Paul Franklin, what a genius! you can tell every record he played on without looking at the credits.
What totally baffles me is that 5 people gave this thumbs down...why on earth????
What a LEGEND.
Paul stated that this is the "only one"... How come this instrument isn't on the market?
I heard the Buddy Emmons do the diddy at 9:52 at the end of Raisin The Dickens.
Awesome!
I followed his approach to music since I first heard him play and who he is.
A great guy .
Same with Dweezil .
Such a shame these stopped getting made I thought they were incredible
fabulous stories
holy shit
You're so lucky Dweezil 👍🙏
I feel good for recognizing Calling Elvis
For an entirely different pedal steel perspective, try Robert Randolph - he's got the most aggressively blues/rock style I've ever heard coming from a steel - at times it is unbelievable the tone and texture he is able to get from the pedal steel guitar.
Steve C Agreed, however lately...he also seems to have a very large ego
.
One of my favorites.
@@ryanhernandez6002 totally agree…
I mildly cringe because of him using the word cringe in an excellent format.
Paul is wonderful. Why is he getting fat? Eating at fast food restaurants? Women- if you have a husband, you are very fortunate. You should take care of your husband by cooking fresh food from scratch in the kitchen every day. This is the way to have a healthy, happy, and successful family.
