I'ma little late here but, I got ya my friend. I've also been struggling for years myself with health issues. Been on dialysis for over 20 years now and could write a novel on the stuff I've had to endure. MANY thoughts and prayers are with you! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
I'm now 63 years old and have been playing the guitar since I was 11. I have a man cave that is stuffed with guitars and amplifiers..my Les Paul is sitting out on a guitar stand and when I walk into the man cave and see that guitar sitting there I say to it...damn your a sexy thang....I want to hold you for awhile...I have even more of an infinity for this instrument called the guitar today as I did when I was 11 years old... probably even more so today... either you get it or you don't....🎸🎸🎸
My mum told me when I started learning the guitar when I was 13 that I’ll never be alone as long as I have the guitar Probably the best thing she ever said Apart from saying I love you
If I didn't have the music Jerry wrote over the years...id be one lost mfer ..it's the truth Alice in chains musically takes me on a ride but grounds me at the same time... absolute goats the fact they are not in the RR hall of fame but yet there are rappers in it is so disgusting to me...if I was Ozzy I'd ask them not to induct me again lol
@@KevinPritts their music bellows from the deepest parts of the soul. I think it's why we all feel it and miss it at the same time. Those heavier threads of soul that tie us together. I can't think of a better "mysterious riff" writer. I don't even want to try, I'm happy with JC
Love guitars and the search for tone. Funny thing is after countless guitars and amps and money and 50 yrs of playing I’m back to my original Fender Strat and Fender Bassman amp. It was a fun journey though
Loved seeing Phil X rocking an old Yamaha SBG at the namm show. I have owned hundreds of guitars over the last 40 years or so . The SBG2100 I picked up in the 80s is still the best overall guitar I have owned
The guy that said he literally started drooling. I’ve been there. I was there the first time I picked up my 1958 Gibson ES 225 . And I drool every time I play my 1971 graphics Orange amp
Very cool documentary. Of course so many other guitarists should have been in this, but the thing would have been 23 hours long. But as a guitar player/lover/geek since 13 years old, this resonated in a ton of ways for me. There is something very magical about an electric guitar.
This is why guitarists on UA-cam or newer kids with just amp modelers will never know and understand real tone and how to tame the beast !! Its an extension of you and you reel it in !a powerhouse
Guitars are a total sickness for me. I have an executive position and gave up the idea of music as a profession when I went in the service in 86 but I always had guitars. I play drums in a recording band and have a home studio. I’ve played guitar 42 years and still don’t consider myself good (it’s like golf in that way) but I own 52 guitars and have sold hundreds in the last 15 years. It’s a journey. They have enriched my life immensely. The quote from Johnny A was just what I was thinking watching this “It’s the longest relationship of my life except my parents.” Really enjoyed this film.
Kiss . One of the many bands that deserve recognition for being the carbonator for the energy atmosphere of a nation. For who they are to us . The fans who are propelled by them . & Their sound.
Very cool actually seeing and listening to George Fullerton.He's always been a famous name. Les Paul as well. The extrodinary stuff he invented, not to mention his playing. After watching this doc I jumped in my P...car and drove to WPB Fla. To my housed record collection and after a while I found "Chester and Lester" Chet Atkins and Les paul; you just gotta hear it.
For me it was those big bends in the beginning of train kept’a rollin by Aerosmith. That train whistle sound burned into my soul and I’ve been hooked ever since. It still inspires me every time I hear it.
@@RickDanner hahah I think you’re correct. I actually just learned about that a few weeks ago and imagine my surprise. Either way, I still love the song. The only thing that doesn’t make sense is if the version on get your wings is a live version or they added crowd noise to the recording. Which was actually not uncommon back in the early 70’s
Great guest on this video. Jerry Cantrell was an excellent interview as well as Slash. It was amazing to feature Steve Lukafer and his Son. And John 5,, and any famous musician I failed to mention. Skunk Baxter was great as well. They must have just thrown Paul Stanley in because someone canceled. He’s only a Rhythm player and not exceptional at that. The Host Kevin Bacon was awesome. Many guest who contributed were super good. I learned a lot watching this video. Thanks
I beg to differ about Paul Stanley. “Only a rhythm player” is such a slap in the face to James Hetfield, Malcolm Young, Keith Richards, Rudolph Schenker, and on and on. Without rhythm, you have no song. And back to Mr. Stanley…he’s very underrated and wrote riffs that inspired MILLIONS…MILLIONS.
@@monsterzero1587 he definitley knew how to write great catchy riffs! no question !. I would take that over someone who just plays notes 100mph ---anyday!
my top has always been Jimi Page, David Gilmour, Dimebag Darrell and Tom Morello but i´ve been just realizing how incredible is Mike McReady what an absolutely fantastic player he is
You know what I can relate to with the artist who used to just be a fan of metal music and lived, breathed and slept metal and pretty much feeling like the hometown you’re from no one “gets” you and not having really any friends that are as obsessed with it as they are. Because that’s literally me and I’ve always felt like even the people who say they’re a fan of music or that they love music, but they’re not a nut for it like me and it makes you feel kinda alienated but the music is always there for me! And I always have a lot of respect for the famous musicians who were mad about rock, heavy music to metal and classic rock that were always a fan first and a famous musician 2nd
When I started watching this, I didn’t realize how old it is. The portion about Line 6 is old technology, and didn’t ever feel right. Helix stuff is pretty legit though.
Omg same! He was so amazing. He brought voodoo child into the 80s… Can you imagine what he would’ve done had he not got on that helicopter? But then we would be having this conversation about Eric Clapton… Because that’s who’s seat he took.. it’s like Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett in 1986….
Absolutely incredible out of this world. Thank you guys for your passion spoiling us with your strings, rhythm and guidance from the Universe!. Anyone who flows through Virginia, hit me up for a tour of Eagle Point Plantation!❤
It's not the guitar, it's the collaboration between the mind and fingertips that just blows them away. Remember the Lord said let us all come together under one Accord! This is how I pray 💙
THE ORIGINAL CHARVEL GANG is an hour and a half documentary just like this one but it's about the development of humbucking Strat body guitars with Floyds that Charvel/Jackson built. They started out selling bodies and necks and then a player named Eddie Van Halen walked in and got a rejected body, a second, and a neck. He put it together, painted it black with yellow stripes, and he changed the way guitars were played and equipped. Another player, Randy Rhoads came in and wanted a neck thru, oddball looking offset V shaped guitar. Grover Jackson was afraid that building a neck thru that wasn't Strat shaped might hurt his business that was just taking off. Randy told him to put his name on the pointy headstock. Jackson guitars was born. Everybody is in that vid. It's put together just like this.
I love the 1902 and really love this version of it. , the price point is amazing. Being more of a Baller on a budget, I can cut a couple corners and save up the money to get this in a couple months. Definitely a good night for price point collectors.
I knew I wanted to be a guitar player when I used to skip school at age 15 and play my guitar for 12 hours a day. Took awhile for my parents to find out I failed high school for attendance.
This is where I think the United States should adopt a gifted and talented musical education system where individuals like you can earn their way into a musically, focused or artistry focused curriculum
Brother..i skipped school just because, but when i first learned Any chord progression... i said yes.. i want to nlbe a drinking drummer.. i feel like i fkd up by not learning drumming.
Ha ha, I also dropped out of boring high school and played as a hired gun in crappy garage bands (my wages were six packs of beer), church bands (wages were food) and even a 4-man acoustic crooner group (got paid in food and drink). I never got paid in cash! 😭
Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar - the original. 100% that's the guitar I want. I deliberately bought a guitar in a UK second hand store for £40. I have signed the back of it, I will never sell that guitar. My granddaughter will inherit that guitar.
It's going to take more than 40 LBs but you can get an SRV Strat made by 1 or 2 of the best Luther's at Fender's custom shop. These guitars are detail distressed down to the most minute detail.(I'm American and can't get the Britisg Pound Sterling logo on my I phone).
I was always turned off by the look of a telecaster, which I found odd considering I grew up watching Nashville Now and listening to country from a young age. I always gravitated towards Les Paul's and stratocasters or super strats. Then I played a Godin Telecaster and was blown away. I now crave a butterscotch black guard tele
I always thought they looked ... un-cool? Nerdy? Perhaps it's how they don't look that turned me off -at first. I got my first Strat in the '80's, when Knopfler and Robert Cray left me no choice. But tuning a Strat? I got a '66 music master for a couple hundred bucks at Guitar Center and almost immediately had a hot rails put in the bridge. Now, I gained an appreciation for the Fender tone, I guess I'd have to say "in general". Fast forward 20 (crazy) years or so and I kept lusting after a surf green Tele with a solid, 1 piece rosewood neck. Aaaah, catalogue love! It's good to know I'm not the only one! I had since fell in love with a re-issue thin line , but I could't justify buying a USA made Fender brand new. Well, my business took off and I afforded the ADAM monitors I wanted too. The rosewood neck and surf green "non traditional" aspects have sent me down a rabbit hole building teles that have what I like: black hardware, pickup options, rosewood necks, non traditional pick guards, etc. I am on my 12th one, w/bodies for another few. Perhaps some of the Telecaster's allure is its deep roots coupled with the ease of modern modifications. All that said, I sure hear you on the butterscotch black guard. But then there's John 5 ... PS: I always thought the combo of surf green and rosewood seemed an odd combination. Then I was reading about how Fender gave George a solid rosewood tele. If you look at their last performance (on the rooftop) there's George with the all rosewood tele ...and he's wearing surf green pants. Mystery solved.
The Red SVR guitar that Stevie Ray Vaughn used was first owned by Christopher Cross. The artist who wrote and performed Between the Moon and New York City. The theme song of the 1980's movie ARTHUR
There is a reason that classical musicians play the period correct Instruments. Just as there is a reason if you wanna play rock ‘n’ roll, you need instruments from that time. When it actually was rock ‘n’ roll? That one guy is correct about instruments having a soul. I’ve never met one that didn’t. Just like people some are better than others.
that would be an even better -start. I'm trying to encapsulate the words to comment that this is almost as much about all the great players who weren't in the film.
The electric guitar is one of greatest gifts of the 20th century. Even the most geeky snot nosed kid picks up a strat or les Paul and it's like the hammer of Thor or Conan's sword. Stewart Copeland once called heavy metal " The Silverback Gorilla strength that is denied 16 year old boys" Pretty tough to have a metal band without guitars
One of the early innovators during the late 1960's making pedal effects; wahwah,overdrive,echo/delay,was an engineer/inventor named Rodger Mayer who formally worked for U.K. Gov. Espionage making "bugs"(undetected listening device)etc...
U2’s guitarist used UA Audio amp sims at the Sphere - I saw the show and couldn’t tell the difference. We’ll see if he keeps using them at the normal venues.
Nice collection Kevin you how many guitars you need one more. Buying them is an addiction it’s like if you don’t want to buy one play one you haven’t played in a while. lol not that buying one is a problem.
@@charliemurphypipeI agree. John 5 really does seem like a super guy. Every interview I've seen, the interviewer hands him a priceless guitar and sits in amazement watching John 5 play. John 5 always says what a beautiful sounding guitar. No John, you have beautiful sounding fingers. That guitar unfortunately would not sound like that with me holding it. He is so modest and boy can he play. Peace from Philadelphia.
My interests in vintage guitars is very simple. I like guitars that were made the same year I was made, 1955, that's it. Other than that, I like to buy new guitars and not the ones they relic.
Well,, I started playing my sophmore year in high school(1962) on an "F" hole hollow body. Not an electric. I played the grooves out of Chet's albums and tried to play along. I found it was work to learn to play well,, I was lazy and didn't try very hard. My senior year I was trying to pull the transmission out of my car,, was in an awkward position and dropped it,, the fingers of my left hand were between the transmission and our concrete garage floor. The edge of the transmission severed the tendons in my index and middle fingers. An orthopedic surgeon reattached the tendons but my fingers never did work well after that. I gave up any hope of playing but my adoration for the guitar and listening to people who can play them well. There are hundreds, thousands of people who can play the guitar well so to pick ONE as my favorite would be tough but IF I were to pick one,, maybe two it would be Merle Travis and Keith Urban at #1 🙂 Listening to blues? Nope,, I really don't care for the blues. Rock 'n Role and Country,, that's the kind of music I like.
I'm still shaking my head that he was kicked out of THAT band for doing drugs? Saw him at House of Blues in Chicago once.His first set was ok, my buddy and I figured we would give his second set a shot for a couple tunes before bailing. We were just about to leave, when he tapped the vein ... WOW! The next hour was unreal. I don't think he, like so many others, got the appreciation he deserved.
36:10 - I know, after Les Paul passed, that Ted McCarty claimed he invented everything but the wheel and maybe the truth is probably a mixup of many things but nobody can tell me that he single-handedly invented the ES335 It is SO like 'The Log' AND it came out in a post Stratocaster era that it even looks old like a throwback to those earlier times... History will diminish L.P's input but when geniuses like Hendrix etc came along they would've had much worse instruments in their hands had it not been for Lester William Polfus
A blues afficionado freind of mne gave me the CD of Sean Costello ( who appears in this doc) My freind then informed me that he had. Passed. If this is true...RIP.
They are like tools to me. Specific guitar for specific tunes. Amps too. You're not going to use a framing hammer to put together a jewelry box. So I got a paul an Explorer a strat a tele a hollow body jazzbox a couple different acoustics 12 string & a couple basses
It sure adds up!!.. Now I'm thinking make me sound like a the guitars on.. Clear spot... Chairs missing, pink flag, LA woman,... But that NEVER ends either!!
no dobro? Lap steel? Emerald Guitars makes a cool mandolin like 12 string that is as if you have a 12 string guitar capo'd on the 10th fret ... 6 string Banjo? ( lol you can have mine! -maybe if I dial it in better)
Her: "Why do you have so many guitars, isn't a Les Paul, SG, 335, Byrdland, Strat, Tele, Mustang, Jaguar, a Little Sister, a...,why more than one of each? You've got them in every room except the bathrooms. There's got to be a name for that. " Me: "There is, baby, it's called GAS, and I've got it bad."
26:20 Nancy Says that the guitar "Totally ties into the art of the female body" she's completely correct. HOWEVER lol the thing that makes the guitar so awesome (And I'm not trying to get all silly with the cross sexuality thing here) is that when you are playing the guitar standing on a stage or even just alone at home and you grab it and position it from your crotch pointing it out long and lean it becomes EXTREMELY phallic! LOL. It also becomes like a weapon as well (All in the minds eye and the hearts emotion. Which can and is also determined by what you may be playing at the moment. It's crazy wild!
or, it can be reduced to "some wood thing hanging around my neck" That happened to me in the middle of a solo once. I sorta went out of body and started wondering What song are we playing? What key is your solo in? Where are you? What do I do next? Some calmer part of me chimed in : well, you've got this thing around your neck, you are wiggling your fingers and everybody seems to be enjoying the groove. So, keep wiggling your fingers! From an untouchable iconic relic behind glass, to sexual tool, Keith hit a guy onstage with one once,- weapon, to frustrating building project, to best friend and everything in between.
I play guitar, 45 years now, but I collect organs. The best! Wurlitzer, Hammond, Gulbransen, Conn, Lowrey, Baldwin, etc. New, my organs were $150,000+. I have about $2,000 in the lot. That's less than a decent guitar. So why all the organs? I'm a tone head and there will never be another great analog electronic organ ever made again! You have no idea what you're missing. SAVE THE ORGANS.
It’s funny how full of it Seymour Duncan is when it comes to tone. 😂 Watch Jim Lill’s exploration of where Tone comes from if you fancy being demystified.
he is selling pushing his product that comes with the thinest connection wires possible, I love the hot rails but it is such a bitch to connect them tat I have even up on Duncans, Di Marzio -yes!
If you see this, please send positive vibes my way. I’ve been struggling with health issues for years and could use your prayers.
Life has a tendency to be a sarcastic asshole, hope things turn around for you my friend
Praying. ❤
What are you working with?

The Red SVR guitar that Stevie Ray Vaughn used was first owned by Christopher Cross. The artist who wrote and performed Between the Moon and New York City.

Sean Costello! This tribute hit hard, I urge everyone to check him out
There is a reason that classical musicians play the period correct Instruments. Just as there is a reason if you wanna play rock ‘n’ roll, you need instruments from that time. When it actually was rock ‘n’ roll? That one guy is correct about instruments having a soul. I’ve never met one that didn’t. Just like people some are better than others.
It’s a good start - they should make one a year for a decade or two.
that would be an even better -start. I'm trying to encapsulate the words to comment that this is almost as much about all the great players who weren't in the film.
The electric guitar is one of greatest gifts of the 20th century. Even the most geeky snot nosed kid picks up a strat or les Paul and it's like the hammer of Thor or Conan's sword.
Stewart Copeland once called heavy metal " The Silverback Gorilla strength that is denied 16 year old boys"
Pretty tough to have a metal band without guitars
totally my favorite drummer ... I want one those blue ride cymbals.
Danke!
This was great, thank you!
Awesome doc ! Thank you.
One of the early innovators during the late 1960's making pedal effects; wahwah,overdrive,echo/delay,was an engineer/inventor named Rodger Mayer who formally worked for U.K. Gov. Espionage making "bugs"(undetected listening device)etc...
another beauty!
U2’s guitarist used UA Audio amp sims at the Sphere - I saw the show and couldn’t tell the difference. We’ll see if he keeps using them at the normal venues.
Nice collection Kevin you how many guitars you need one more. Buying them is an addiction it’s like if you don’t want to buy one play one you haven’t played in a while. lol not that buying one is a problem.
I notice most histories of electric guitar don't talk about Gretsch, but you notice them in the background throughout the film.
Cool Kevin
Thanks for sharing ❤
this is for all my knowlge ...
John 5 ...LEGEND!!!!!!!
He's on the cover of Guitar Player, well deserved. He seems like a really nice guy as well.
@@charliemurphypipeI agree. John 5 really does seem like a super guy. Every interview I've seen, the interviewer hands him a priceless guitar and sits in amazement watching John 5 play. John 5 always says what a beautiful sounding guitar. No John, you have beautiful sounding fingers. That guitar unfortunately would not sound like that with me holding it. He is so modest and boy can he play. Peace from Philadelphia.
Well done. Really
8:18 wow that tone!
Truth✌️🏽😎 the only thing in my life that never gave me any shit and was always by my side.❤
retro ad for guitar
Just subcribe❤❤❤ Amazing
Real music is subjective. The people gifted with rhe key to the kingdom,.....
My interests in vintage guitars is very simple. I like guitars that were made the same year I was made, 1955, that's it. Other than that, I like to buy new guitars and not the ones they relic.

27:07 😍 Russell bhai
Guitars and Harley Davidsons. That's how I clear my brain out and reset for the next round of life.
I had to turn it up the volume I used my booster and when the ads came it blew my ears
Well,, I started playing my sophmore year in high school(1962) on an "F" hole hollow body. Not an electric. I played the grooves out of Chet's albums and tried to play along. I found it was work to learn to play well,, I was lazy and didn't try very hard. My senior year I was trying to pull the transmission out of my car,, was in an awkward position and dropped it,, the fingers of my left hand were between the transmission and our concrete garage floor. The edge of the transmission severed the tendons in my index and middle fingers. An orthopedic surgeon reattached the tendons but my fingers never did work well after that. I gave up any hope of playing but my adoration for the guitar and listening to people who can play them well. There are hundreds, thousands of people who can play the guitar well so to pick ONE as my favorite would be tough but IF I were to pick one,, maybe two it would be Merle Travis and Keith Urban at #1 🙂 Listening to blues? Nope,, I really don't care for the blues. Rock 'n Role and Country,, that's the kind of music I like.
God bless Dickey Betts 10:46
I'm still shaking my head that he was kicked out of THAT band for doing drugs? Saw him at House of Blues in Chicago once.His first set was ok, my buddy and I figured we would give his second set a shot for a couple tunes before bailing. We were just about to leave, when he tapped the vein ... WOW! The next hour was unreal.
I don't think he, like so many others, got the appreciation he deserved.
Paul Stanley still has his voice. It's filmed in 2013.
36:10 - I know, after Les Paul passed, that Ted McCarty claimed he invented everything but the wheel and maybe the truth is probably a mixup of many things but nobody can tell me that he single-handedly invented the ES335
It is SO like 'The Log' AND it came out in a post Stratocaster era that it even looks old like a throwback to those earlier times...
History will diminish L.P's input but when geniuses like Hendrix etc came along they would've had much worse instruments in their hands had it not been for Lester William Polfus
I am NOT rushing out to buy that one they just released
This needed Joe B , Billy G, Dave G.
When THiS WORLD doin that ROCK, don't do that without its ROLL!!
Is that a drug joke?
@doc_matter for me it's about lots of words but drugs
1:50 Left one is Ken Parker
Im offically considering this the sequel toTremors. Its cannon
A blues afficionado freind of mne gave me the CD of Sean Costello ( who appears in this doc) My freind then informed me that he had. Passed. If this is true...RIP.
is slash holding a 68 custom guitar?
Hey i know that girl ! Kristen Capolino ! . she is awesome !
They are like tools to me. Specific guitar for specific tunes. Amps too. You're not going to use a framing hammer to put together a jewelry box. So I got a paul an Explorer a strat a tele a hollow body jazzbox a couple different acoustics 12 string & a couple basses
It sure adds up!!.. Now I'm thinking make me sound like a the guitars on.. Clear spot... Chairs missing, pink flag, LA woman,... But that NEVER ends either!!
no dobro? Lap steel? Emerald Guitars makes a cool mandolin like 12 string that is as if you have a 12 string guitar capo'd on the 10th fret ... 6 string Banjo? ( lol you can have mine! -maybe if I dial it in better)
@@charliemurphypipe I'm saving up for a wash tub bass lol
59:40 - are they getting that tone from a mere line6 amp' emulation?!
Her: "Why do you have so many guitars, isn't a Les Paul, SG, 335, Byrdland, Strat, Tele, Mustang, Jaguar, a Little Sister, a...,why more than one of each? You've got them in every room except the bathrooms. There's got to be a name for that. "
Me: "There is, baby, it's called GAS, and I've got it bad."
26:20 Nancy Says that the guitar "Totally ties into the art of the female body" she's completely correct. HOWEVER lol the thing that makes the guitar so awesome (And I'm not trying to get all silly with the cross sexuality thing here) is that when you are playing the guitar standing on a stage or even just alone at home and you grab it and position it from your crotch pointing it out long and lean it becomes EXTREMELY phallic! LOL. It also becomes like a weapon as well (All in the minds eye and the hearts emotion. Which can and is also determined by what you may be playing at the moment. It's crazy wild!
or, it can be reduced to "some wood thing hanging around my neck" That happened to me in the middle of a solo once. I sorta went out of body and started wondering What song are we playing? What key is your solo in? Where are you? What do I do next? Some calmer part of me chimed in : well, you've got this thing around your neck, you are wiggling your fingers and everybody seems to be enjoying the groove. So, keep wiggling your fingers!
From an untouchable iconic relic behind glass, to sexual tool, Keith hit a guy onstage with one once,- weapon, to frustrating building project, to best friend and everything in between.
No mention of the huge innovations of the 80's made by EVH or PRS?
I play guitar, 45 years now, but I collect organs. The best! Wurlitzer, Hammond, Gulbransen, Conn, Lowrey, Baldwin, etc. New, my organs were $150,000+. I have about $2,000 in the lot. That's less than a decent guitar. So why all the organs? I'm a tone head and there will never be another great analog electronic organ ever made again! You have no idea what you're missing. SAVE THE ORGANS.
Stop hoarding all the organs and become an ORGAN DONOR
John Lord be like
I still suck at it yet have always had one and still trying lol
Seen Artemis pyle(Lynyrd Skynyrd) in the audience.
38:30 ayo??????
Hey that is Willie Nelson's bus in the very beginning in the reflection of the window.
The 55' is just warmer and a touch better in tone. I'd take either lol
Paul stanlys head is like three feet tall two feet wide two feet thick. He has the biggest head of any other person on the planet.
And ego
@@james-sf5ycno no ur being generous lol.
Damn
Seriously he looks like a human bobble. Its crazy!
Buckets of Botox will do that
Slash is right tone chasing can get super expensive.
💕💕💕
It’s funny how full of it Seymour Duncan is when it comes to tone. 😂 Watch Jim Lill’s exploration of where Tone comes from if you fancy being demystified.
he is selling pushing his product that comes with the thinest connection wires possible, I love the hot rails but it is such a bitch to connect them tat I have even up on Duncans, Di Marzio -yes!
Gtrs p800 Just add a floyd rose and you have it all no amp needed.
