Thanks folks 😊
luv your music theory , it works for my 60 yrs of playing guitar : ) 👍
I was working on Nora Jones - Don't Know Why today. It has a lot of augmented chords also. Great lesson. Thank You and Happy New! 🍷
Embrace the hum. Love it. That should be a T-Shirt.
Walking with Uncle Pauly! Love it sooooo 🔥🔥🔥
thanx again Paul... great chords on that shuffle ... all the best
Thanks Bongoslade 👍
I love this video, cuz, but when you said you hate jazz, my soul cried a little. Happy New Year to you all. 🎼🎶
Hi Al, and Happy New Year! Yes, I’m just an un-educated ape 🤣, so no offence to the jazz fans out there. There’s a well known phrase among the guitar UA-cam community - “All roads eventually lead to Jazz”. So maybe I just keep going.
Always always awesome you're playing always says something that's great.
Thank you Rick
As always a pleasure to join you in your world of colours. I've never got past the cowboy stuff but really enjoy your fretboard meanderings. All Bran without milk ! Genius !
What a fabulously enjoyable lesson. Thank you so much.
My pleasure Matthew! Cheers
🎉🎉🎉 totally lush 😅. Thanks for posting !
"All Bran without milk!" Lol, love it. Thanks for the nuggets of inspiration.
Great stuff Paul and very clearly shown.
Yes that Robben Ford chord video with the red PRS is fantastic and he really shares a lot of great little ideas.
Hi Paul, thanks for the helpful reply on intonation on your Telecaster, reassuring to know that my custom shop telecaster is not alone. I was looking at compensated brass saddles that might make tuning less bothersome. Thanks for taking the time to cover this. Cheers.
Happy new year to you and loved ones your end. Good to see you.
3:21 The excitement at playing that beautiful chord!
Hello kid, great wee video as always. Just into the new year and the missus and i have had our first ding dong, she's been on a diet for 6 weeks now and all she's lost is her temper. Take care Paul.
🤣, I’m chuckling away here. Cheers John, you always leave a smile on my face.
Happy new year my friend.all the best in 2024.🙏👍🙏❤🌹
Cheers Vintagetone 🍻
Depending on your Tele string spacing the big Joe Barden saddles (2 1/8-3/16") or the Gotoh compensated saddles (2 1/16") are really great. Bardens are tilted, Gotohs have sloped string grooves.
Great episode - thanks. Happy New Year to all of us.
This is the best video you have posted. Please don't stop the content delivered in the unique style bespoke only to you.
Wow, well thank you man, that’s great to hear! Cheers
Agreed. Feel like we are just hanging in your living room jamming.
Great tips, much appreciated.
Lovely as per usual Paul. Happy New Year to you, the family and all the viewers.
No idea why I didn’t subscribe months ago... I really thought that I had.... new sub. Love your channel .. great musicianship, with a little more. Love the “human” side of your vids. Tons of great musicians out there and it’s Nice to see the “real” side of one of those great musicians..
Well thank you man, I appreciate your words. Delighted you like my little UA-cam channel 🍻
@@paulstaffordcook8799 lol, well I would say that I myself have a “little” UA-cam channel... you my friend have a very successful one! I came to find you from Thor Oliverson, and I’m thankful he mentioned your channel to me! Awesome content !!
I used to work for a famous repair man. His guitars were intonated perfectly, yet he would ask me to come over and play his guitar parts for some of his tunes because I "played" more in tune. You are right, despite what the tuner says some chords will be out of tune. Years of experience had taught me (and no doubt you) to unconsciously bend certain strings in the chord to make it be in tune. I have also learned that equal pressure on each string is important, especially with high frets, or you will inadvertently bend some notes out of tune. Lastly, as you point out, some guitars, like your Gretsch just sound in-tune while others will never sound quite right. My best guess is that it is down to the overtones emphasized by the materials and construction.
You make a very good point about subconsciously bending strings ever so slightly within the chord….. yeah I do that!
wow great playing paul, stil Fan!
Thank you Jeff 👍😊
Yes, Happy New Year Uncle Pauly, starting it right with very nice guitar playing. Wishing you and yours safety, health, and prosperity in 2024.
Love it. More stuff to nick! Happy New Year Paul.
Happy New Year Paul! Nice loop you have going here. Has a Pink Panther vibe to it
Another great episode and lesson my friend. Happiest of New Years!
Thanks Chuck. You too mate, hope 2024 brings you only good things 🤘
You play fast enough, I reckon, very nice Paul, tasty stuff
Well thank you Michael 👍
Ha i love the way you explain stuff! The bit about tuning was spot on and your chord descriptions are gold. Keep up the good playing man!
Thanks man, appreciated
You are smart Paul, playing at bedroom volume, and listening to your ears warning.
My hearing is getting weaker and weaker.....those 60s and 70s sessions.
Beautiful ideas and execution
Thank you Haensel, and it’s nice to see you stop by my wee UA-cam channel. Hope 2024 brings some new Pearlvibe guitars 🤘
Happy New Year Paul! Thanks for the tips and love that beautiful Les Paul, she sure is a looker and has tone, tone,tone!!! 😊
I see that chord leading to your iv (Fmin) as a F#13 no root. About a year ago I started practicing all of my single note stuff with upstrokes. It seems to help with everything overall when I’m ‘going for it’ by breaking up some of my old tendencies.
My Jazzmaster hum was embarrassingly loud at jam sessions. I installed Kinman noiseless JM pickups. They’re awesome.
amazing❤
Thanks for the video Paul.... I've had the tunning issues with my guitars...and I not the only one 😄
Bonne année.
I've put brass saddles compensated ( Callaham)on my esquire and thinline....pencil graphite in the slots...perfect intonation ! X
I like your “pencil graphite in the slots” tip. Cheers Mark 👍
good shout there pal, a simple thing to try and it might make all the difference. happy new year to you and your, and of cours yir faither , no seen him in a while, hows he doing ? keep rattlin them oot pal 😊cheers for posting
Thanks Charlie. Yes, father is doing great, still out walking miles everyday with his over energetic dog. Must get him back on the channel in 2024.
Paul, you never cease to amaze me. Your imagination is incredible. I have come across the same thing with starting with the up stroke but it just depends on the run or scale that I'm playing.
Anyway as always, great video. Thanks
Happy new year
Thanks man, same to you 👍
Love that. "I guess, what I'm saying is, I talk shit and you should unsubscribe."🙃
Thank you Paul, brilliant as always. Just what I needed to start the new year while am enjoying the last week of the school holidays. Wishing you and your family a very happy new year from Glasgow 👍🎸❤️🍷🎼
Hi Paul, Happy New Year to you. I am so with you on the reliability of pedal tuners. Like you, I frequently find I have to override what my Petersen strobe tuner tells me is 'in' because my ears tell me it's not! And it's a moving target; different guitar, different tuning tweaks. It drives me nuts. All the best to you and yours for 2024.
Happy new year Kevin 😊
Merry Christmas and Happy new year Paul!
Thank you Ben! I hope 2024 sees great business for Murray Guitar pickups 👍
@@paulstaffordcook8799 thanks Paul, hey, I just made that Knopfler pickup set and I was instantly swinging sultans! I'm really blown away, I used the hot pickup in the middle so when I go to pos 2 or 4 from the bridge of the neck there is no volume drop its just instant Knopfler and much more usable. I have the early 60s pickups in my Strat so I'm gonna make a hot pickup for the middle
Happy New Year Paul
Finally something I can follow 😮
👍🇦🇺
Thanks Shane! 👍
What a fantastic video Paul have a wonderful happy new year ❤😊
Love your mini rant on intonation Paul, it's been the bane of my guitarist life! You explain it so well, I've only played electric guitars since lockdown but now own and play a few, all good ones, and have already discovered what a compromise it all is......if I could I'd avoid playing F and A completely!(Sweet FA🤣) I'm now quite good at intonating to my taste, but how come all my acoustics, with no adjustment possible, all intonate perfectly?! Btw, excellent lesson too as always, happy 2024 mate
Great lesson! Happy new year!🎉
Good Stuff Paul! Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your's brother! 😎👍
Thanks Michael, all the best in 2024 👍
Joyous!
Groovy New Year to you Paul
All the Best...
Hi Paul, I think of the tense chord @ 14:50 to be a C7 altered (without the low notes) leading the ear to the Fmin9. So Cmin9 / C7 alt / Fmin9. The tensions in the altered chord are #9 and #5 in that voicing. It’s a great move.
Thanks stemajor7 👍
I've had a looper for years, still haven't got around to putting the time in to develop the required co-ordination to use it
I’ve had 2 loopers on my board….over 20yrs….still to tap record🙈…
I reckon it would be 50 cycle hum where you are!
I literally just found that out 2 minutes ago. I googled it, and yes. Every day is a school day I guess 🤣👍
Ivor Thomas is right Uncle Paul he is playing F#7 which is implying a C dominant 7 sound which has a stronger pull to F-7 try using a dominant sound just before you go to any minor chord even if your playing a minor blues. Great stuff uncle. Keep jazzing it suits you sir.
BTW F#7 is the Tritone sub of C7 just to be clear.
I prefer Papa Pauly. 😊
I like that 🤣👍
The low E conundrum, HAH!
Nowadaze I just fire up 10 seconds of A 440 and then use (and trust) me ears...
...and the very best to you
Enjoyable & informative as always, Paul - thanks. I’m currently struggling with a looper for the first time so this has probably stopped me from sending it back(!)
As for the hum, I wonder if there’s a difference between the USA where the electrical supply is at 60 cycles, and here in the UK, where it’s 50 cycles? Just a thought, but I’m always surprised by American UA-camrs going on about ‘60 cycle hum’ being almost unbearable- perhaps 50 cycle hum isn’t as bad? No doubt someone out there will put me straight on that. Whatever, thanks again & keep it coming😀
Really? I genuinely didn’t know that we’re at 50 cycles in the UK. Every day is a school day as they say 😊👍
I see the chord at 15:30 as a minor 7 flat 5
Nice tips! Where did your flatwound journey end up?
Great question. It’s ended up with me loving flatwounds so much that I had a guitar made for me with Flatwounds in mind. That guitar is my Oswald Jazzmaster and it’ll only ever wear flats. I just LOVE that sound 🙏
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Nice! I find that flats work incredibly well for solid bodies and rounds work well for semi-hollows. Both have a different kind of an intimate sound - flats for their directness and rounds for more sound of string I guess.
Also a JM was designed for heavy flats back in the day, so the combination makes sense.
Lovely playing and great sense space and musicality! Thanks!
How can you not like jazz? some of the best players in the world, listen to French guitarist Birelli Lagrene, he'd wipe the floor with any rock guitarist.
Watch "Why you don't like jazz" here on YT.
