“Buying things wont’t make you happy. Spent your money wisely” damm that hit me hard
Which is kinda false. When I buy a new expensive piece of gear it does make me happy... for like 30 seconds which is followed by buyer's remorse... but that first 30 seconds man, worth it.
Buying music items can inspire me to play more which is always worth it.
Hedonic treadmill
Idk man my guitar collection begs to differ.
Save money when possible: Save it for buying the highest quality things that feed your passion, like guitar. You only have one life. For everything else in life, buy the cheaper items that will suffice.
I loved the little disclamer note at: 8:33, it shows that Paul thinks about his audience.
Have an amazing holiday y'all
it's a double edged sword but used with actual training... you can take it as if he cares and also as if it's a Karen deterrent.
Inteligente pra caralho né mano
That's credibility.
That's part of marketing in this commercial. He emphasizes that he is not sponsored and that he likes that stuff. In the description you see a whole series of links to Amazon.
Gonna ask my girfriend casually to buy me a Kemper
Better spend some quality time with her first mind!
Gotta get a girlfriend to ask to get me a Kemper
baerleon who hurt you?
what's a girlfriend?
maybe i should ask the kemper to get a girlfriend (;
*Have a wonderful holiday ladies and gentlemen!*
Volvo 420 you too
You too homie.
Mm...fooooooooooz
You too!!
How did you know people were going on holiday somewhere?!
At first I was thinking "Just turn the amp off before unplugging the guitar", but you do make a good point about switching while on stage. That's way easier than having an amp per guitar.
Also, "It's the holiday season, cut the postman some slack". This is probably the most wholesome thing I've ever heard said about any postal service :)
Most guitars have volume knobs that if you turn down they cut off and I think it fixes that although I never really tested it
Iirc, turning the volume down to 0 on the guitar doesn't stop the amp making noise if you unplug it. Though it does at least stop noises from hitting the strings or bumping stuff :P
Just click your tuner pedal on
coryman125 is that geezer butler ?
@@davidgeorge5863 It is indeed!
Dude, you're so f*cking positive and happy. And the advice that you give, both for guitar/music related stuff or LIFE, is genuinely SO good!!!!!
Thanks dude, I f*cking LOVE YOU, MAN!!!!
AND EVERYONE ELSE READING THIS COMMENT I LOVE YOU, HAVE MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY WHOLE NEW YEAR! =D
Came here to say (roughly) the same thing! Paul, you're a legend. Thank you! Merry New Year and Happy Crimbo etc etc.! ;-)
I agree - lifts me every time I watch one of Paul's videos, both in terms of my understanding and capability but also my spirit. This guy is a gift for sure.
I love you too random commenter
Your sworn enemy is reading this
*Uno Reverse Card* And the same to you, especially THIS (fucking) year.
Much love from Germany my dude.
My sons have just started learning to play the guitar. Now the gift possibilities are endless for birthdays and Christmas. 😎
Love how you start off with the guitar stand and then leave your Strat leaning against the wall for the remainder of the video. Bonus points for showing your cat wandering around who could knock it over at any time.
Me: Hey mom can I go down to the store to pick up a little gift.
Mom: sure why not
Mom: hands over debit card
Me: comes back with 1959 gibson les paul strolling in through the door
Edit: Wow guys! didnt expect this to blow up thank You!!!
Lol
My mom offered to buy me a guitar, after she learned what I was looking for, she got me some strings. She likes it when I play for her.
@@rodneysmart9774 keep playing for her 🙏 you'll miss it when you won't be able to
So you have chosen death?
@@rodneysmart9774 Ye my mum likes it when I play too but sometimes she gets agitated when I play for hours and hours lmao!
What a beautiful beard... I mean... video.
I know that only a very few people hold the same view, but the noise while you plug in a guitar is just ✨iconic✨. For me, it gives the feeling as though the guitar had woken up to life, being dormant before it was plugged in, and gives me that extra first motivation when I start playing.
The only place I see myself using the noiseless cables are when I am swapping guitars on stage, which hasn't happened till now.
Don't get me wrong. I know that the noise annoys a lot of people. And this product would be a game changer for them. I am just stating my point of view and this product is just not for me and also not for the people who think like me.
Your CS strat is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen... the color, the flaming on the neck, uhhhhhhh my god it’s gorgeous
This is a great video to release just before Xmas. The cable alone was worth watching. Thanks for sharing.
That tuner looks awesome as well.
The cable and tuner got me interested
@@victorymansions I agree, I tried to find the tuner for sale online but I have had no luck yet.
@@jackiebelmont5522 I haven't personally tried it but I recommend you check out D'addario's Eclipse tuner. I heard it works great. It's $10 USD, I believe
3:29 Life saver my friend... guitar IS life
Idk man... James Jamerson never cleaned his fret board, because he said it would wash off the funk. So I just can't take that risk
one of my favourite channels. clear, crisp description, coupled with killer playing, and enthusiasm. great work man, keep it coming!
"It's a real life-"
*Considers if his guitar is a sentient being *
"It's a real guitar saver"
Paul, I've learned so much from your channel and boosted my confidence. Have a great holiday and Happy New Year. Thanks for all the work you put into the guitar community.
Can't wait for my Kemper for Christmas. I asked Santa so he better come through
Germain Alcantar son, I have something to tell you...
You realize Santa is your dad , so ask him. Or ask santas wife
Really loved this video, the list and your positive guitar 🎸 vibes. Lots of great ideas to enhance our accessibility to new tech and great stuff to up our game whether its maintenance or cleaning, etc
Except for the Hercules stand, specially the "stand" part of it, I totally agree with your list. Very good. Thanks.
Thank you, Paul for sharing so much really cool information in a short video, your smooth style is unmatched by anyone else on youtube. Its obvious you love music, so thank you and very happy holidays.
Hey Paul, thank you for the videos. You are by far the best UA-camr I've discovered in 2019. I love guitars (even though I suck at playing them) and your videos are just the right motivation to keep pushing myself into getting better and not be stuck with the old tunes I've been plying for years.
Also great things for acoustic guitar IMO:
1. Ergoplay tappert or some similar guitar support for acoustic /classical guitar. Saves your back :)
2. Blackstar Fly Acoustic or some other portable mini amp.
3. Wireless system for guitar. Those things are 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the suggestions man. These would be pretty awesome indeed! Have yourself a great Holidays Paul and everyone
Have a happy Christmas Paul. Thank you for your amazing input. You make the world a better place.
The Hercules stand is by far my best guitar-related purchase in years. I bought the 3-guitar stand, it hold my 2 guitars (with some room to grow) perfectly and this thing is kid-proof, literally! As a dad, I was weary of leaving my guitars out with my kid roaming around, with a couple of very close calls. Not anymore!
The best part of your wonderful presentations is your kind, welcoming demeanor, thanks and best wishes to you and yours!
PAUL, Thank You for Sharing - You Are A Gift. From All of Us Here Across the Pond. Chicago, Dallas, New York, LA and Miami -
Merry Christmas Paul. I've really enjoyed discovering your channel this year and am looking forward to seeing your journey in 2020. Thanks for everything!
"silent" is not the cable, it's the Neutrik plug. But yes, it's priceless.
Straight for the Strat, angled for Tele/LP.
The jack plug is magic... I have a couple of cables with quiet jacks.
Only about $12-15 if you need to replace a jack on an old cable anyway (and can solder). But.... it doesn't work well on active basses and far less common, active guitars. Plugs in silently, but the preamp powering up usually makes a racket that varies with type of preamp but they all have some (usually loud) power up noise.
And acoustic guitars with a piezo/mag/microphone) internal system, (so "active").
My replacement cable for my wireless had a ‘silent’ option, and now I wish that all of my cables had it.
@@teamclarkin4754 Newtrik jack only on eBay. It's NOY at all tricky to solder and (good & easy & effective strain relief). Buy one and sacrafice a cable. New cables with Newtrik start about -$35-40.
NOT
sorry Paul, but i love the noise when i plug in my cable into the electric guitar, it sounds so retro and vintage :-) thx for the video!
I’m guessing other beginners - intermediates like me can relate to feeling intimidated listening to a teacher.... but your style of teaching is fun and I don’t feel dumb! I want to learn the next thing and the next and the next! Thanks soooo much Paul!
I'm with you Paul, I love little gadgets and stuff
Great guy

Paul, thank you for your videos! Happy holidays!
Enjoy your videos and tips Paul throughout the year . Hoep you have a great Christmas and NY
Excellent, thanks, happy holidays, such a pro!
I’ve had the triple guitar Hercules stand for like ten years now, it is amazing and absolutely worth
I could say that guitar pro and transcribe are must have for every guitarist, they can open a whole new world to you
Merry Christmas Paul. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks,Paul. I Enjoy your videos man.Appreciate your time and effort.
_"Buying things won't make you happy."_ Like how you slipped that in there. 🎅👍
Wow I'm early.
Happy holidays, Paul! And all you lovely people too!
All the best for the New Year dude! I've really enjoyed your videos over the past year and I look forward to your future ones. Have a great xmas too!
Bought the Klotz cable after seeing your video, and I might say this is by far the best guitar cable I've ever had. It really makes a difference
I love those Hercules stands, really stable and has soft foam on the legs to protect the finish of your guitar.
Thanks Paul, I love the guitar stand. Happy New Year.🎶🎸🌞
Paul isn't kidding about that Hercules stand. I copped one a few weeks ago and it's made my life so much better!
8:00 is how we should all pronounce "wood" now. So lovely!
Wuud.
As somebody who is not a native English speaker, I must say that English is a language with an absolutely unpredictable and 100% unlogical pronunciation... Learn it by heart - that's the only way to go.
But I'm in the mood for food and noodling on my guitar in the woods or buy any goods like good tools... Consider me a fool...
@@volkerfriedritz8149 Haha! Da hast Du völlig recht. The thing that always got me was that it's a hook, but a hooker, and one smokes a hookah. I somehow developed a feel for what sounds right-Sprachgefühl-but now I'm getting my just desserts as I'm learning music theory. 😄 I really think Paul's accent is the loveliest thing! I'm kind of jealous of it, frankly. That and the lustrous hair. But really mostly his musicality.
@@StefanGBucher Hallo Stefan, ja genau. His videos are amazing in every way imaginable. And it doesn't matter that Paul doesn't pronounce English exactly like a native speaker. To me, making fun of that is just arrogant.
BTW, I love the dutch language and my impression is that dutch people are definitely way more tolerant than average.
@@volkerfriedritz8149 Oh, I wasn't making fun of Paul, who is a gift to the world! I'm a fan of accents in general, and Paul's accent is one of the best things ever! Nothing but love here! 😊
Happy holidays, Paul! Thanks for the great videos. Yes, on the Kemper Stage review!
Merry Christmas Paul thank you so much for sharing...
Thanks this helps so much, love your content!
Great video! Thank you for the recommendations .
Great quality video, man. Cool idea, too! Fun to watch.
Damn.. when you showed your broken Les Paul I felt a shivering through my spine
I had noiseless plugs in the 80's. Then the disappeared? Happy to see that they are back.
Two words: Strap. Locks. Changed the strings on one of my guitars and cleaned 'er up as best as she's ever looked. Super excited to play. I turned around to adjust my amp settings and the front hole fell off the strap button. Now I have two massive chips where the finish used to be!
Its so nice to watch These Videos there chill informativ and just really good love the channel
Paul. You are amazing. Thank-you!
:):)
Great list man! Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year
Your online guitar class would be my dream gift.
Just wanna say, you're the best! Your content is so good and you help us so much. Thanks, Paul. :)
Merry Christmas Paul, love your videos!
thanks for all the great videos and Merry Christmas to you and yours Paul...
Thanks, lots of cool toys ideas for the modern guitarist.
Love those cables. I need one with an angled jack plug
The video I didn't know I needed but I'm glad I'm watching... Thanks, Paul! :D
Thanks for the heads up on Transcribe! I’ve been looking for something like that for a while.
Paul Davis you are my hero! I need it all for my channel
Klotz titanium cables are legendary, really.
Thank you Paul for sharing this info with us. As always, we appreciate you. Happy holidays. Hope Santa brings you everything you ever wanted! Ho Ho Ho.....
4:54 sounded like "Give me some money" from Spinal Tap !
Also try : The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu
Great video ! Thanks for all the info.
Thanks for ALL your Videos - Paul!!
I got two Herculeses on my wall. Love them.
Thank you for sharing this - it's gonna be handy very soon

Yes to the Kemper review!✌🏼
I like how when he said his guitar broke I was thinking, "probably a les paul".
Then I hear, "It happened to my les paul." lol
typical.

The Tonewood Amp is a must-have gadget for acoustic players. It's a game changer for how it reinvigorates the guitar and makes you want to keep playing.
Great clip ... Enjoyed it ... Thank you so much for posting it!
Thank you! Great video
I love that tuner, I got it for Christmas and it has permanently replaced the snark I used to use
This ended up being a helpful video, thanks for this!
These are awesome ideas for gifts. I wish I had all of them! (have the Hercules stand already, it's great!)
Great ideas. Your videos are always interesting. Merry XMas.
Great video. Very helpful
I'm not a guitar player or musician but im interested in learning to play guitar, i have to say that your videos are A+. I have even watched part 1 of your music theory one. Huge fan brother 🤙🏼
Thanks Paul. I want one of each!
Such an enjoyable video!
Awesome video again, Paul. Thanks!
And yes, bring on the Kemper review!
Merry Christmas guys x
This video is super helpful. I subscribed after tip 2.
Transcribe app looks good, thanks!
