  • Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd shaped the southern rock sound with his 1959 Gibson Les Paul. Today I'm taking a deeper look into Gary's iconic guitar tone with my Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue. I think you'll agree, the tone is amazing!

    Hey y'all, I know it's been awhile and it's great to be back!
    I've been crazy busy over the past 3 years, and that took time away from my guitar channel. Now I've got some free time to make guitar videos. And, now there's a beautiful new guitar in the picture that really sings!
    What did you think of the Gary Rossington tones that Les Paul was getting? Aren't they AMAZING?

    Dude that Les Paul is fantastic it really captures the vibe perfectly. Gary was amazing. He did a lot of Paul Kossoff type of stuff but he took it to another level. To me the most amazing thing about Skynyrd was how three guys could play and never once step on each others toes. That just doesn't happen.

    • @TomsRockinGuitar

    Made me so happy to see a new video. I have a deep love for Skynyrd and golf, too. Haven’t met anyone else with that combo of interests! Your videos made me pick my guitar back up several years ago. I remember in a video you mentioned people making fun of you for being so into Skynyrd. Screw those losers. It’s been fun keeping up with your golf videos but please keep the guitar videos coming.

      Like you mentioned something about his laid back charisma helped him play loose and free.
      The song "that smell" what an incredible composition , the 3 guitar parts throughout the song is just wonderful, everything about it. Lyrics, melody absolutely brilliant ,
      And Gary's intro starts it all perfectly, sounds just as fresh today as it did back then.

I remember Mr. Ed king was talking to you and was about to give you an example i believe of saturday night special that originally he wanted to do but 5hey went a different way with it. But we lost him before he had a chance to share it with you.
    I cant find any of your old footage. Gary rossington is the reason i picked up a guitar and you are the reason i kept learning. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for what you do. Im 54 yo i dont have a ton of time left. So do an old man a favor and ģet them skynyrd tutorials back out.

    Really like the top on that '59 LP rep. It's basically perfect. My '59 could pass for it easily. Big difference is, mines an Epiphone. I went through a bunch of them when they first released in late 2020. Settled on an ASFB at 8lbs 15ozs. It's acoustically the loudest electric guitar I've ever heard. It's ridiculous how full sounding it rings out compared to any other one I've seen. I really lucked out, because most of them are pretty horrible looking comparitively. Again, evenly matched, medium sized flame, with gorgeous colors! Perfect top buddy! Salute!

    • @TomsRockinGuitar
      @TomsRockinGuitar  11 місяців тому

      Thanks! When I saw the top I was blown away. The tiger flame is drool-worthy to look at. Sometimes you don't want to play it, you just look at it LOL
      Sounds like you picked a good Epiphone. The tone on those Epi's now is way better than I remember from the mid 2000s. They sound much closer to Gibsons. Acoustic resonance is a big key to look for with Les Pauls!

  • @caseysniper308
    @caseysniper308 Рік тому +2

    if you can't afford the gibson the epiphone 50's and 59 are really good at quarter the price. sounds good!

    • @TomsRockinGuitar
      @TomsRockinGuitar  Рік тому +1

      It's really impressive. You can put a set of Custombuckers in there and get closer.
      Between Epiphone and Gibson, the R9 reissue is in a class of it's own. The craftsmanship, tone, and all the little details is what you pay for. The tone coming from the wood - so fat and crisp.
      Epiphone's 59 is impressive for the price (from the videos I've seen)!

    • @caseysniper308
      @caseysniper308 Рік тому +1

      @Tom's Rockin Guitar they are exceptional for the price I love the 50s and 59 I want more for backups, also love my old telecasters played one tonight broke a string and had to break out my most expensive guitar which is a tele that I'm scared to play due to the price but it Plays like a dream. Tomorrow I'll go back to my 50s it as well Plays like a dream. Love them all and they all have their place.

    Hey Tommy Tone ! What year is your R9 ? I have a 2016 R9 and it sounds killer . I also bit the bullet and bought one of the anniversary 59's Gibson made in 2019 . I love Gibson's but they are hit and miss . When they hit their great . If I buy another Gibson , I'm looking for a 2019 models . This is when that new CEO took over and they kinda went above and beyond that year to make a great impression . My early 2019 Flying V is one of the best sounding guitars I have . I was mad when I received it because it didn't have the Gibson inlay on the headstock . It was just before they switched . But the tone was so good , I couldn't get rid of it .

    • @TomsRockinGuitar
      @TomsRockinGuitar  Рік тому

      It's a 2023 - they sound amazing! I've heard about people having issues before, but I haven't had a bad experience with Gibson. I've got a Firebird and an Epiphone LP. Both came without issues. I like where they're headed now with the new direction - the 50s and 60s Standards are things of beauty. You can't beat the tone of that '59 style guitar. There's something extra special about the tone :)
