Thanks folks 😊
Everytime I listen to your musical interludes, they always reveal new flourishes and melodic imagination. You play with your heart and your soul, which is all any musician can hope for. You are an inspiration for all of us guitar players, and those who just appreciate the joy of hearing someone who clearly is born to make the most brilliant music. Keep it up, I always look forward to your videos, I know that they take time to record edit and render, but they are truly brilliant. Thank you
Man, thank you. Your comment was carefully worded and I really appreciate what you’re saying. It does take time to create and nurture and polish and edit and then finally upload….. so when a comment comes in like this one, it makes everything so very worth it. Thanks man 🙏
That was bloody fantastic, your rendition of the now infamous Tobias Red Jaguar piece was wonderfully played, it was also just different enough to have a bit of you in there as well. Congratulations! I now know why I’ve met you in the comments section on that video, you must have watched it more times than anyone! Love the OJ, it’s perfectly specced and I wish you many happy hours together🥂
Thanks so much Simon (and sorry for late reply). Yes, I think I’m going to become Tobias’s very own stalker 🤣
Oswald is a master. No doubt. Beautiful color!! Congrats and all the best to you, Paul!!!
Thanks Sammy. Cheers mate 🍻
Such a beautiful Spanish piece with those thick, rich tones. Excellent choice. Nobody on youtube got nuthin' on you Paul. You make a guitar speak and sing like no other. We should really congratulate the guitar on having you as the owner!
Well that’s about the nicest compliment I could receive! You’ve made my day Bob 👍
The Oswald Paul we I’m pleased it arrived in perfect condition and🙈 it’s absolutely brilliant, playing is as always 🤔 yes outstanding my friend, I’m sure that you will have many years of fun with that one 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Moose! I’m delighted 😊👍
Ooohhh yyeahhh beautifull guitar.🙏🌷🌷👍👍🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
Nice comping. Love that walking bass line stuff. 👍
Thanks Michael 😊
Not a big fan of jazz master, but after seeing and hearing you play it, I suddenly find myself in a state of bliss, ❤❤❤❤
Ah, well thank you vibetone355. Delighted you liked it 🍻
triple great playing!
his playing is so musical
instead of showing off of licks or how fast you can play which 90% of youtube guitarist are doing
whenever i watch his playing it feels like i'm invited to little concert or something
thank you paul
where can i buy your t-shirts on the way out hahaha
Very cool to see you happy with this new toy 🥰👏🏻
Thanks Nick, I love it. That’s it now, NO MORE GUITARS!
@@paulstaffordcook8799 he says 🤣🙈
Truly beautiful! Both the guitar and the playing
Thank you YeatzeeGuitar 👍. Appreciated
Sounds and looks gorgeous! The sound of the dark circuit is beautiful, too.
Thanks Wonderpope 👍
Beautiful guitar and a great take on Tobias`improv.
The waiting surely paid off .
Well thank you modestoney 👍
Took me a second to realize you were in e flat but then it was a joy to play along to that great tune. Excellent choice of strings, i love my Thomastik strings on my parlor acoustic! Have a great weekend🎸🤘🎸
Thanks gearViewmirror 👍. Yes, these Thomastik Infelds seem to yield a little magic….
Sounds fantastic. Well made and well played. 👍✌️
Thank you Lemmy! Appreciated 🍻
Oh wow! Love that rhythm circuit!
Just gorgeous. The tone the playing the song. Perfection.
Thank you MrWilly, delighted you liked it 👍
The Oswald sounds amazing, great investment. Enjoy it immensely.
Thank you, appreciated 👍
Bee-autiful guitar that sounds just amazing in your hands. Congrats on the guitar and thanks for the song!
Thank you kindly jfturner 👍
Your playing and teaching is so inspiring. Please keep these videos coming!
Thank you amerallic, that means a lot. Cheers to you 🍻
Very good Paul, loved the jazzy walking bass stuff, especially, and the guitar SOUNDS good, but I probably won't order one!?! 😂
Well thanks Dad, at least you agree it has a particular sound 😊.
Wow, Paul! Your playing, the Oswald, the strings, the people you recommend & refer to... they're all so classy. One detail: your playing on the rhythm circuit sounds excellent, I'm sure Leo would approve. There's definitely jazz in that Jazzmaster.
Thank you for those words Nicholas, appreciated 🍻
Sounds beautiful!
Very nice! Thank you!
Amazing! Congrats on the new guitar Paul, definitely set up to be a guitar you pick up and wonder down experimental lane, who knows what youll find down there! Also the rosewood Nick is managing to find is stunning.
Thanks Paul, cheers 🍻
I am drooling right now. Fantastic looking and sounding guitar! Congrats Paul! Can't wait to hear more!
Thanks so much Brian 🍻
Hi Paul, it's your buddy Luis. Congrats on the new aquisition. It sounds warm and lovely. This is right up your alley for sure. You are blessed to have it,so now you can bless us by playing it often for us all. Cheers from Philly,Luis
My friend Luis, delighted to see you drop by my little UA-cam channel, I hope you are well. I was using the Carlos Santana pick the other day, and just trying to channel his energy…… it’s still a weird shape for me to handle 🤣, but it’s a pleasure to be holding it. Cheers Luis
How Green Was My Envy 😊 Very cool. Beautiful tone.
Well I’m glad you like it. Cheers Ian 🍻
Finally! .... lol ....... Looks and sounds great. I hope it brings you all the hours of enjoyment you anticipated.
Thank you Ed! Cheers mate
Incredible tone and depth. You’d never believe it’s a new build. Well done Paul you must be grinning from ear to ear.
I am! Thanks John 🍻
That was my first thought. Ive been lucky to play some seriously nice pricey new guitars, but nearly all of them sounded new, its a thing you have to know to get for sure haha. But this thing sounded old in the best possible way. That said - i have never once tried flatwounds so… maybe thats a thing!
Just beautiful man 👌
Thank you robboriff, cheers
Sounds heavenly and looks sublime. Wishing you many happy years together.
Thank you kindly my friend. Cheers 🍻👍
Fantastic playing....wow !
Many thanks Tonray 👍🍻
I literally heard the first 5 seconds of the guitar and I had to pause to add this comment. That tone is luxurious!! My friend! This guitar is just incredible! #cheers
Thank you David, I’m delighted it took only 5 seconds for the tone to impress 🤣. Cheers mate
Gorgeous!
Thanks brywestwhit 👍🍻
HI Paul , congrats with the new oswald , it was a long wait but it was worth it .
Yes it was. But I’m a very happy boy! Cheers Antoon 👍
It arrived! 😀 looks & sounds great! Gonna look good on the wall too! Have fun Paul 👍
Thanks Glen, cheers mate
Oh ya boy Sir! That's a belter! Chuffed to bits for you Paul. It sounds braw as well.
Thanks Craig! Cheers mate 🍻
Beautiful playing and gorgeous guitar! I just got a Jazzmaster a week ago (also with a roasted neck) and just love it. I looked up Oswald guitars and think I should order one before his prices go up. Awesome and congratulations!🎉🍾🎊
Yeah, I gotta say I’m very happy with both my Oswalds (Strat and Jazzmaster). His build time is definitely getting to be a longer wait though…. which I guess is only natural as his popularity grows. All in all I’m quite the fan of his work !
Paul , thats your Masterpiece. ( No matter it's from Tobias ) Your playing is brilliant and so is this Oswald. There is definitive a great danger to get addicted. And yes , that thing sounds better ( in my opinion ) in your hands and with your style of playing than any other instrument of yours. And now think about, how this sound could improve ? Yes , with a Deluxe Reverb , a Vibroverb or a Princeton.
Thank you slowhand, your words look like they were carefully chosen and I appreciate that! Now, I better get saving for that lovely Deluxe Reverb….
Congratulations!!!!
Thanks Echoplex9 👍
Yeah buddy! Looks like a winner! Congratulations. Sounds great!
Thanks Moosey 😊
Congratulations Paul that's a stunner!! 🔥
Thank you Colin! And cheers for stopping by 😊👍
I’ve just stumbled upon you4 channel, Paul and very glad that I did! Lovely playing and amazing tone- much better than many other UA-cam guitarists who do have the fancy interfaces etc- but also great engaging style and personality. And as for the Oswald Jazzmaster, wow I want one!
Thank you Phil, I appreciate you tuning in.
Just loved that Paul . Guitar sounds like nectar . (I don't think nectar has a sound but you know what I mean!)
I know exactly what you mean 🤣. Thanks man, cheers
Happy New Guitar Day Paul!!! 😎👍🎂🎉
Thanks Michael 👍
I can sense the exitment in your voice and your playing Paul , I'm very happy for brother. Enjoy the hell out of it !
Thank you kindly Ben, cheers mate 🍻
Thank you for posting. I appreciate and enjoy your playing immensely. That guitar tells a wonderful story when you play it.
Thanks Derrick, what a lovely comment. Cheers mate 🍻
Paul, my friend--though we've never actually met--congratulations on the delivery of your Oswald jazzmaster! I hope that it fulfills your wildest expectations and serves you well for years to come! Cheers Paul!
Thanks Chuck! As usual, here I am catching up on comments some 8 days later 🤣
Supersweet. Liking that a lot!
Thanks 👍
New to the channel and already loving it!
Offset is best 👍👍
Welcome aboard jcrockitt 👍. Delighted you like my wee UA-cam channel.
Congrats!
Thank you Wallqvist 👍🍻
Wonderful Paul. Amazing playing and guitar. Great to see you still use sharkfins. Hope you are fine and well. Pass my regards to your dad again.
Thanks dsmw 👍
Congratulations good sir! That is a fine sounding guitar. Never considered a jazzmaster and you now have me thinking 🤣
Thanks Fraggierock 👍
It won't surprise you to know, Paul. The rhythm setting on the Jazzmaster is my favourite. It's that noir soundtrack vibe. 🎼🎶😁
So you like it dark Al….. Yeah, it definitely has its place. Of course, you have that lovely Johnny Marr Jaguar which does a very similar thing.
Its a beauty Paul, ENJOY. Oh and OMG that bass line just fantastic. Cheers.
Thank you rpmblues 😊
Congrats Paul this is a awsome new baby. Your great playing is always amazing and this cover made my day for sure.
Thanks so much Norm 👍. Cheers
Watched the video a couple of days ago wanting to reply but in the middle of a move right now..... Finally!!!! Ohhh my it sounds so full and all the notes ring out into wonderful tones. More than I expected it to be. Thank you for sharing Paul. Beautiful!!! Love you all Bill.
Thank you Bill, I’m delighted you liked it 👍. And I hope your move went smoothly 😊
Both you and Nick are Masters. Congrats :-)
Thank you so very much goswo 🍻
Stunning jm & amazing playing ☘️
Thanks Junkbox 😊
Congratulations, Paul! That guitar suits you perfectly. I wanted to say that the guitar sounds amazing but in fact, it's your playing that is amazing! Cheers!
Thanks for stopping by Krenar, I’m glad you like the new axe. Even more delighted you like the playing 😊👍. I’m a very happy boy.
Lovely jazzy blues ❤️
Thanks Jon 🍻
Congratulations - enjoy
absolutely love the relic job on this guitar... it's light and subtle and it sounds INCREDIBLE... I'm jelly...
Well thank you candyCode 👍🍻
New Guitar Day, and the sun is shining on your long-awaited Jazzmaster. What a thrill!
This guitar has such a cool 60's vibe it's as though by magic all the notes and tones are emerging from the instrument without you touching it! I can also hear "Sleepwalk" ready to burst out all of a sudden. Lovin' that lazy whammy bar.
But seriously, I don't think I've heard you playing better, Paul.
Wow, thank you Maxwellfan, you’ve made my day 🍻👍
After all the years you've been playing you still. get excited about a new guitar. Great to see.
Thanks Paul, I certainly do! Cheers
Amazing! I think this was one of the cleanest tones I've ever heard. Beautiful music to enjoy the night.
I'm waiting for my Oswald guitar, too! In fact, I've only ordered it this week and can't pick a colour for it, haha. All the possibilities are driving me nuts😅
If you can't choose a colour ... maybe best to leave it natural! 👍😅
Well I bet you’ll love it when it comes. It’s quite a thrill to spec up your dream guitar, and then see it pop through your door 9 months later. Congrats man, I hope the wait isn’t too torturous 🍻
Sounds lush, I always like jazz masters, more for the sound than look.
Thanks Rebel, yeah I have to agree that it looks more like a spacecraft than a guitar 🤣
Nice piece of music with the new axe. She sounds sweet.
Thanks Simon 👍
Beautiful guitar and playing!!! Congrats, Paul!!!
Many thanks lmpri 👍
The big question is what's the wife going to get a blender😅 love the color to Paul and that I know you'll play it masterfully with soul. My soul brother Paul
Thank you Rick 👍
Nice tune played beautifully on a cracking looking guitar.....fantastic performance Paul 👏👏🙏 btw fantastic tone!!....great lesson!!
Many thanks Davie, glad you liked it. Cheers 🍻
Lovely stuff, Paul. The OJ sounds great. The lesson was fun too, I'm having a go, but I just can't do the thumb wrap-over thing, I'm just not made that way. Cheers.
Thanks Kevin. Yeah, I know what you mean about yielding to your own particular physicality. Tom Bukovac does things with his thumb wrapped over the neck that I just cannot even attempt.
Amazing Paul...what a stunning guitar, killer playing and tone!! x
Thanks Paul (and sorry for late reply, just catching up). Yes, I’m a very happy boy 🤣😊
Absolutely incredible!
Thank you Seanzinger 👍
Love the Hee hee hee when you drop it out of your case! Kid at Christmas!
Thanks Rob 🤣👍
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Hi from Canada. I've been watching and listening carefully to all your videos, Paul. Extremely well done, informative and the perfect cadence. Your playing is exquisite. I've two Jazzmasters - Both 'burst; one 'regular', and the other a Parallel Universe with 3 Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers. Both excellent in their own right. Keep up the good work, Rob
Well cheers Rob, and greetings to you in Canada from a very rainy Edinburgh 😊🍻
Congrats on the new guitar. It looks and sound delightful!
Your playing is F**king Awesome. The Oswald sounds amazing in your hands. I'm sure it wouldn't sound as nice in mine
Well thank you Steve! And I’m sure you’d coax tones out of it that would be just as nice. Cheers 🍻
Congrats Paul! We’ll worth the wait and perfectly suited to your playing!
Thanks paulya 👍
You break my heart,I’m too old to ever be at your standard,but thanks for your teaching
Thank you Neil. And it’s all relative….. I feel like that when I watch Tobias Hoffmann and Julian Lage. Cheers 🍻
Looks and sounds fantastic Paul. Anticipation makes a new guitar day even sweeter I've found. Been waiting along with you since you announced that you had ordered this one. Congrats!
Thanks David. Yeah, it’s been one heck of a wait, but worth it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🍻👍
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
CONGRATULATIONS MATE
👍🇦🇺
Thank you Shane! Cheers mate
@@paulstaffordcook8799
No worries
I see you did your hair for the video 😂
👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Yes, I made a special effort 🤣
I have never played or wanted a Jazzmaster----until now. It just sounds glorious, and your playing is so melodic. The first piece you played by Tobias Hoffman reminded me a little of Ry Cooder's version of Maria Elena. Fabulous stuff.
Thanks kingstumble 👍
Congrats on the new guitar Paul. It couldn't be in better hands. And thanks for the lesson. There's always so much to learn from your playing.
My pleasure!. Thanks fordfanjpn 👍
Absolutely stunning! Always love gold pickguards on Jazzmasters, and gorgeous tone too! Wonderful showcase and demo Paul!
Thank you kindly Kqhoa 🍻
Sweet Jesus that sounds bloody fantastic!
Thanks Alister, I’m over the moon 😊
Not enough thumbs up. I visit often but can only one. Great player!
Thank you denmar, appreciated 🍻
That sounds fantastic Paul. I use flatwound strings on bass, but never considered them on guitar.
Thank you Graeme! It’s a funny one because I’ve tried flats on most of my guitar collection and it’s always hit or miss. For example they sound great on my Telecaster, my black Les Paul and my Jazzmaster. And yet they don’t seem to suit my Gretsch or my Strat…. strange, but there you go.
Thank you Paul and congratulations on your new guitar. It looks and sounds amazing. Best wishes as always from rainy Glasgow
Hmm... here's a thought - we should arrange a "fans of PSC" get together some day. I'm in Fife....
Thank you Frank, cheers mate, have a good weekend 🍻
Wonderful guitar, wonderful tone, wonderful playing!
Thank you, I’m over the moon. 👍
I love that first little tune you were playing, sounded to me like a little south of the border Mexico/cook, lovely guitar concept, and sound as usual
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers Danny 👍
Beautiful, Paul, just beautiful
Thank you Jonathan 👍
She’s a stunner! A friend of mine once said that a book isn’t truly yours until you’ve read it. You need to mix your effort with it,
In order to truly own it. I’ve always felt the same way about guitars. I’ll look forward to hearing you make her your own Paul!
I like that analogy….. yeah, I reckon after a few more vids she’ll feel like part of the stable 🤣👍
Lovely guitar, matched by the equally amazing playing
Well thank you Ross. Cheers mate
Fantastic, congrats on the new guitar. Hope you have years of enjoyment from it 🎉
Thank you ewal 🍻
lovely playing (and guitar)!
Thank you Thomas 🍻
beautiful on many levels.
Thank you Brent 👍
I love your playing. Not just on this.
Thank you Jamie, for that compliment 👍🍻
Exquisite Jazzmaster style guitar! I too would be anxious to receive this! But the best part is your playing in this video. I have to say that at times it reminded me of Chet Atkins and at other times Les Paul. You have great, intuitive melodic sense. Congrats on your choice to order this fine instrument. This made my day.
Thank you John, what a lovely comment. Really appreciated 🍻
Congratulations from Ohio! You earned it.
Thanks so much man, and greetings to you in Ohio from Edinburgh, Scotland 🤘🍻
