What amuses me is that very few, if any, of the people involved in these 1950s Pauls could have imagined they would end up being played like this.
It's always funny to think about how much of the 50s and 60s guitar tech was built with the intention of putting out the purest, cleanest tone. I think Les Paul wanted his guitar to put out something like a sine wave. The amps were getting bigger so that the sound could stay clean at high volume. And hardly any players seemed to use the gear the way the manufacturers intended. The Jazzmaster got made for jazz musicians, who hardly used it and preferred the Jaguar. Meanwhile the Jazzmaster found a niche decades later in noisy music like My Bloody Valentine or Dinosaur, Jr. It's just interesting that Fender, Gibson, etc. were totally out of sync with what players wanted, but their products were also totally irreplaceable for those same players. They just accidentally created the essential tools of ditorted rock playing while trying to craft the cleanest, most straight-ahead sound they could.
@@boeing_opal I suppose the one class of players who were employing a more aggressive, distorted sound at that time were the blues players; and it was from them that the rock players took their cue. The blues guys (and girls, thank you Sister Rosetta Tharpe) may have come upon such sounds by accident, if they could not afford bigger, 'better', amps.
@@promerops Yeah, I think the discovery of those sounds was pretty accidental at first. But once they were out there, people were chasing them big time. Sounds like there were a few players who found that damaged amps sounded good to them, and there were a good number afterward who would intentionally damage their speaker cones to imitate it.
👍🤘
@@boeing_opal The amps are way more important to the sound of rock than the guitars. Ted Nugent used a "jazzbox" gibson and made it rock, so did Steve Howe sometimes. Lots of players use fender solid bodies to play genres other than rock. But you're not likely to break out a marshall stack to play a country gig
Sounds incredible brother. I said it before and I’ll say it again, so glad that you decided to keep that Les Paul…
Les Paul Specials in general are really good guitars. Very versatile. Gotta get one with P90's though.
Can't imagine life without it now!👍🏻
@@MatthewScottmusic good cuz its def my fave of your collection haha
Yep that was a good call.
Matthew knows how to take a good risk buying sight unseen.
@@MatthewScottmusic which fuzz is that?
I keep saying this each time he jams with that Special, they were meant for each other. I know he's a Strat guy (or thinks he's a Strat guy), but the tone of that guitar combined with his style of playing is a match made in heaven.
That pinch harmonic at 1:47 just gets me every time…. This tone is just unmatched.
Man that just completely blew my mind!! Not only the awsome tone with the fuzz. But your playing is outstanding, so much emotion in this. Man, you have gotta get an album out!!
He's making one right now!
I'm trying, just hang in there a bit longer!✌🏻
@@MatthewScottmusic You owe it to the people!
@@bevo65 we're so happy we can hardly count
He is a really good singer.
It would be awesome to see Matthew Scott and Chris Buck Colab! In my view the next generation of guitar greats, in with Kingfish!
Hell yeah, though Oklahoma and England are pretty far
One of the best ideas I come across in a while
Totally what I thought, Chris Buck vibes for sure.
@@op-z well personally I think Matt has his own vibes and I dig that a lot, he is one of the blues rock player I take inspirations from \m/
Totally agree, and for those who haven’t seen Kingfish live he’s over the top! Some great playing and amazing tone here as usual! 👍
dude this is so freaking good it’s frustrating
After 70 years I think it finally found its home. Sounds absolutely perfect. So glad you decided to save it and share it with us.
I really hope you put this arrangement into a song......that sound is amazing man. I cant stop listening to it
Yo Matt. I’ve been a follower since you had a couple thousand followers and have seen your playing for years now. But dude. This is the best I’ve ever heard you sound. Absolutely perfect in every way. I have watched this 5x’s in a row.
Thanks so much Dan and thanks for having around for that long! Been a great ride!
I agree with what some of the others have said . . . This is some of the best playing we’ve seen on your channel. It sounds expressive and original and fresh. Very tasteful!!!
To die for tone, Matt you have it going on, when it comes to matching up old gear, that always sounds great,always look forward to your videos.
I'm glad the tone is translating😁✌🏻
@@MatthewScottmusic Hey mate, the cpl of times lve commented on ur channel, l get these "uve won a prize" things sent to me... It's just Ur name, but w/o the lozenge surrounding it. It's been up a few yrs too, just thought I'd point it out mate.
I'm reporting it. It's spam accounts. Unfortunately UA-cam can't get it under control.
@@MatthewScottmusic Yeah mate, thought as much, the more that know the better.
I'll do same, til they get the idea!
For a guy who was hooked on Fenders for years, he sure seems to be enjoying the magic of that old Gibson!
It is insane the character this guitar has. A totally different sound from the strat, not that it's better/worse, but amazing in its own right.
Amanzing huge sound and sweet at the same time. You, nik sevigny, phillipe sayce and simo.... All teaching the blues, the sound, the playabity, the sweet gear to speak the electrifying voice with music and passion. Amanzing musicians you All are.
The million dollar tone!
You Matt, that single you have. Where you been is incredible
Crunchy AF! That is one sick LP!
fuzzed out gibson is the best sound ever, man
Got big time Ed King vibes from this... Absolutely excellent!!!
Didn't know what my favourite tone would be until I heard it, this is it
Love the jam, the tone, all of it...amazing.
That sounds flat out stunning. Playing was great and absolutely suited the tone. Great work!
one of the best examples of blending major and minor I've ever seen
I'm working on a P90s build for myself, and that project just got fast forwarded. Sweet sound.
Yet another Matthew Scott video featuring phenomenal playing and beautiful tone. Well done man! Still eagerly awaiting your debut!!
God thing that you keep that guitar. Your playing is awesome 👏
Not only is Matthew a great player but he also doesn’t make stupid “I love my life and everything on this earth” smiley faces when he plays. I am truly grateful for this!
I still listen to this regularly. It's so nice to just sit and chill and listen. I hope you record a longer version and put it on your album.
Just love how you get in a groove while you play. Sound/tone /execution is simply incredible!!
absolutely amazing tones and playing. Thanks Matthew 🙂
Incredible. I've watched this so many times, thanks for sharing
I do dig that LP Special.
Thoroughly enjoyed the instrumental jam. And your playing style. Thanks Matthew. I’ll listen to this again and again.👍🏼✌🏼
Incredible playing. Impeccable sounds. Superb.
Man, that tone is so killer! Thank you for sharing it with all of us. Please keep letting your heart pour out of you guitars, you have a special gift Matthew.
the ammount of tone in this video is... no words
Just Beautiful! After a long and stressful work day, it was nice to relax and listen to it a couple of times! Thanx for sharing.
Best tone on UA-cam PERIOD
Man... this is heaven! No words can describe the feel as well as the sound of your guitar and amp does...
This is the best sound, lead and solo I've heard in ages. I felt every note.
I REALLY NEEDED THAT BROTHER! YOUR PLAYING SOOTHES MY PRECIOUS SOUL. BLESS YOUR HEART, THANK YOU MATTHEW!
You do an amazing job dialing in the classic Fender and Gibson tones.
I’ve said this before. Your tone is unreal! So much soul man! Indefinitely have been playing more thank you 🙏🏻
I’m as impressed by your phrasing, technique and over all feel as I am by that guitar! Beautifully done!
First notes are gold already! Love your tone and playing
Nice wee touch at the end Matthew. You always impress. Keep on rocking 🤘🤘
That tone is heard in the soul, even if the notes pass through the ears. Bravo.
Who has some of the best tone on UA-cam?
Matthew Scott, That’s who….
Joyous, inspirational, exceptional playing Matt. Love the vibes man, thankyou ps guitar is a beaut!
What a sound! I love this blues rock style🎸
Dude come on! That is some of the best darn guitar playing I have ever heard. You have elevated to legend status with the soul you are bringing through that instrument. I need an album of this to put on in my truck every time I drive it.
Can’t believe it’s already been 2 years I’ve been subscribed to you! What a journey you’ve been on and the success this channel has had! Your playing continues to get better and better everytime I watch and like! Amazing stuff Matthew! Keep it going!
10 months on and i still regularly listen to this. Ive left a few comments on this over the last 10 months and here i go again. This is my favourite peice of music of all time. Thats saying something coming from a huge fan of SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Rory Gallagher, BB King, and list goes on and on. My only complaint is i wish it were longer. Mathew, in my opinion you are every bit as good as anyone past and present.
Lovely! Great Les Paul, responds to the fuzz beautifully. Wonderful bit of gtr playing. Thanks for this. Nice one Matthew! 👍🎶
Dude, you nail one if not the best tone in each of your video... Sounds EPIC, very well done.
Absolutely sensational sound (and playing) - made my day mate
Excellent playing. Feel is spot on and sounds great.
This is one of the coolest things I've ever heard! Nice playing Matthew!
I always click he minute I see you drop a new vid, Matt. I love the gear you save, the tones you produce with it and the soulful, melodic blues that comes from you. Keep up the great work.
When I was a kid in 1983 my parents luckily enough went to a music shop and found a 1980 Strat still in the box. My first guitar I've been a strat player ever since.A couple yrs. ago I squired a guitar with p90s & I realized"this is THE sound I have been looking for my entire life"
Man every time you drop a video I immediately try to learn what you play. You’re incredible
incredible sound, authentic playing and gear, very nice.
Man o man, your playing keeps getting better and better. Very nicely done!
In my humble opinion, u make the most inspiring videos on UA-cam! Thank u so much! Regards from São Paulo Brazil!
This is the best I have ever heard you sound. Keep it coming!
Yah, I got to agree. Pretty creative.
Yes!! Absolutely the best I've heard him play. Incredible stuff!!
Sweet! An old guitar inspiring an old school vibe.
Love it when I'm looking at my phone and you post a new video. Sweet pefection.
That might be the one of the best tones I’ve ever heard. Beautiful
sweet playing, Good production, your stuff is like a rustic essence of vintage instruments and rock and roll
That tone is just HEAVENLY!!!
Amazing sound and playing! Well done Matt!
Absolutely killer and inspiring playing, as usual, Matthew! And damn - that fuzz is tasty. Thank you for sharing this!

Greetings from brazil
