Thanks folks 😊
It is possible to see that you have put in the hours to have chords and melodies flow effortless from your fingers. The whole step bends behind the nut is something I've found a bit challenging to do, at least to be a seamless part of my playing. I think I just answered the challenge myself in my opening sentence 😄 And yes, I will be cheering on you getting the P90 shaped humbuckers for your Les Paul. If the P90s no longer do it for you, it would be interesting to hear how such kind of humbuckers would sound in that guitar. Extra bonus points if you can get them into the same kind of covers that you have for the P90's. Thanks for the music and the lesson. Always a treat 😊
Fine playing as always kid, the old Tele sounding as mellow as ever, as requested here is a couple of stories . 1. A monkey and a hyena are walking across the Serengeti together, the hyena says " I'm braver than you ", monkey says " no you're not, I'm braver than you", just then a huge lion jumps out from a bush and starts mauling the hyena and the monkey shoots up a tree, when the lion goes away the hyena says with his dying breathe " they you, I thought you were braved than me why didn't you help me ? ", monkey the " with all that laughing I thought you were winning ". 2. Two Dockers knicked two boxes from a ship, when they get back to the pub they open them up, one of their mates asks what's in them, the first box has bottles of coka cola, they open up the second one and their mate asks what's in it, one of them tells him things, he asks what do you mean things, he says "THINGS GO BETTER WITH COKA COLA ".
Hooray! John’s back! 🤣. Thanks John, we missed you. Being one of the UK’s finest “up and coming” luthiers is obviously busy work. Cheers mate, loved the jokes.
I remember when your R9 was your soulmate. The heart is a fickle master, and you will always love the one you're with. Cheers Paul, great lesson!
I feel like my R9 just got jealous watching this vid. So I feel the need to go and hold it and play it and reassure it that it’s still the first one I’m grabbing when the house bursts into flames 🤣

I think it has doubts.😂🤣
Thank you Paul for another great video, you have brightened up a rainy night in Glasgow. Best wishes and good health to you and your family from Glasgow 👍🎸❤️🎼
“A rainy night in Glasgow”….. good name for a song Frank! Have a nice evening mate 🍻
Why would someone disparage you for enjoying a lovely beverage whilst you are delivering beauty to the world? Appreciate you! Neil G.
Thank you Neil, your comment left me smiling 😊🍻
Thank you, Paul. This might seem weird, but thanks to you, I feel confident about playing music on electric guitar again. Because of the "trends" on social media, I felt like I had to just play 20 seconds of a show-off lick, but from you, I regained confidence that playing music is still accepted. I hope to feel confident enough to upload something soon. And of course Tobias and Casper helped too.
Wow, thank you Simon! That means a lot. Cheers 🍻
I recently discovered Tobias Hoffmann and I am enchanted and blown away at the same time.
The best sound I heard in rock was Adrian Smiths goldtop with mini humbuckers, just took notice every time, its all over the Live After Death concert
Paul, Thank You so much for these excellent videos, Your views are right up my alley. You explain things well. I have dropped out a bit from music related vids but I recall one where you seemed to have hit a rough spot and were frustrated with feeling like you weren't advancing at one point. It has been perhaps 9 months and wow... you have progressed my friend. Thanks for the education!
Thank you man, your words have left me smiling 🍻
Wonderful sounds!
Thank you Joe!
God thats beautiful playing!! Thank you!
Im still watching, but that was my overwhelming initial response!
Well I’m delighted to read a comment like that! Cheers Robhead
Great lesson as always Paul! Very stylish and beautiful playing there 👍
Thank you Neil, cheers 🍻
Lovely vibrato on this Paul. Clean tone to die for, just enough gain to give a touch of fatness without being tubby. As usual, your note choices are fabulous. Loved it :):)
Thanks Burtnekkid, delighted to read your nice words 👍
Beautiful playing as ever
Thank you John, appreciated.
Seymour Duncan do a noiseless P90 stack pickup. That should sort you out. Great playing as usual. Thanks.
Interesting! Thanks Mark, I’ll do some research on that 👍
Hum is tone.
My goodness that Tele sounds fantastic
Thank you Graeme, I just love that guitar. Cheers 🍻
Ever heard the Mojotone Quite Coil P90s? Sidewinders, similarly constructed to Firebird pickups but voiced as p90s. 2 varieties, the '56s and the Hots.
Thanks oldasrocks, I hadn’t heard of them… so I’ll go do some research 👍
Sounds lovely.... how much is improv and how much is worked out? .... As usual i after watching im inspired and depressed in equal measure !🤣
Thanks stuagu 👍. Good news! I’m not that good 🤣. Everything was created, worked out and rehearsed over 4 days. And then about six takes to get it right.
Humbuckers on the goldie just might be the ticket, Paul.
If you were live, on stage I'd say no, but what you are doing these days, the P90s are just too unruly. Put them in a box to keep as original equipment and find a sound you like.🤙
Feck me am fiert te comment in case Buk shouts at me again 😀 Nice to see you playing happy notes again, that stuff is so musical. Really enjoying the chord inversions, i just can't take in all the information in one go, it'll take a few dozen watches before it sinks in. Back from Canada now so back normality. 🥲looking forward to your next one , chhers pal
Cheers Charlie. Nice to see you’re enjoying retirement! Canada eh? Lovely!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Paul also my favorite youtuber ❤😊
Thank you for such lovely words aminahmed 🍻
Seems, that you have a really light touch, right? Its hard to evaluate from here. I like this. The guitar/string sounds so good. Thanks ✌🏻
Hi Carsten. And yes, extremely light. Every time I hand my guitar to someone else (same settings) I’m blown away by how loud it is and how hard they’re hitting the strings!
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Hey Paul. Thanks so much. After 40+ years of playing more or less rock, this is absolutely interesting for me. The older i get, the more i am into clean/edge of breakup sounds. Also a big fan of Tobias Hoffmann. Even the big stars like Tom Bukovac and Tim Pierce are talking about this topic sometimes. Greetz and all the best. ✌🏻
@@CarstenGoekeYes, if you imagine plucking 2 notes in harmony, plucked very lightly and extremely cleanly, so as they ring out unobstructed…… they just hang in the air. Maybe add a touch of SLOW vibrato and it’s gorgeous and full sounding. Then on the opposite end of the spectrum, imagine smashing out a bar chord….. all 6 notes collide and compress, and the beauty is just absent.
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Good point Paul. Thank you 🙏🏻
If you're sick of the hum try some Fralin noise cancelling P90s. I've played a guitar with them in and they sounded great - just like P90s except no noise!
Thanks itsmikee 👍
✨
I'm gonna guess that Casper and Tobias have never talked to you since it happened.😂
Besides the falling down while walking, I think you might have something there Paul.
The absolutely offensive dissonance actually makes a nice rebound with elements of color, but that just might be from falling down... or not.🤪
Cheers.🍻🤙
Thank you GW 👍 (And sorry for my extraordinarily late reply).
Have you used a tele with. The 4 way switch mod?
Hi John. No, the closest I got to “fancy” switching on a Tele was on Fender’s Vintera models. I seem to remember that had some fancy 4 way…..: I think it was fun 😊
Hi. Love your's video. Please, what strings using, 10-46 or another?
Hi Michail, glad you liked my video. Yes, that Tele is wearing D’Addario 10-46. Just their basic nickel strings.
I honestly don't think you are any less talented, just lacking a couple of key structural insights to how it all fits together as I think I have said before. Tobias and Casper have a theoretical edge on ya, but that's all. Dim7 transformations and chromatic movement through a key (1, 5 of 2, 2, 5 of 3, 3, 5 of 4 and so forth) opens up the whole world of being able to navigate through any given progression in seemingly miraculous ways to the uninitiated.
Thanks Mooseymoose. The way you explain it here actually perked my interest. Now I’m not gonna run off and study theory, but I do like the way you’re putting it across about structural insights that the likes of Casper and Tobias might have. As always, cheers for being a regular here on my wee guitar channel 🍻
@@paulstaffordcook8799 I think it’s not so much studying theory exactly, though it requires a basic level of understanding. Major scale construction, diatonic chords in key etc. but those more advanced key insights are simple but not obvious to most players. I would estimate about a weeks worth of work on a couple of ideas would yield major results.
Please please just go buy yourself a Hum Debugger pedal by Electro-Harmonix. It absolutely will 100% get rid of the P90 hum. It saved me from turning away from my P90 and single coil guitars and brought the joy back. It does not negativity affect the tone in any way.
Thank you Jethlin, I’d never heard of that pedal. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll now do some research. 🍻
@paulstaffordcook8799 I was having the same issue with my p90s and came across the hum Debugger in my LGS. I held off for awhile but finally pulled the trigger and bought it and it was an absolute game changer. Totally silent and the tone remained exactly the same.
the goldtop sounds like a burden, just give it to me!!!
🤣 thanks Evy, I’ll box it up now and ship it off to you 😉
@@paulstaffordcook8799 can't wait😃
