I have recently got my first electric guitar (I got a Les Paul, but I played acoustic for a long time) and had my first gig in local bar that belongs to my father's friend. I played some jazz and blues songs, because that's what I usualy play. It was an akward experience because guests weren't exactly into that genre, but still I am glad that I finally had a chance to overcome that barier that disabled me from playing in public.

@eznAnze Жыл бұрын

Hahaha did some of those as well... and would do so many more if I still played in public haha :D Anyways it' not that bad! I think the sound of that pointless lead part reminds me something of the very stoned psych rock like some of the jefferson airplane live recodings

Me and my brother probably a few hours of tapes like these. One time when we we're playing a local bar, that both of us were to young to be in when we weren't on stage, I was moving backwards, tripped over a floor monitor, and fell off the stage. Makes us both laugh every time we talk about it.

I think one major thing I noticed about young Paul, that wasn't mentioned, is that he was having fun. This is an oft overlooked thing when people are learning and growing with their instrument. When people want to learn to play music for the first time (or even getting back into it), I always emphasize making learning fun. Whether that's the specific music, finding friends to jam with, finding the right instrumentation, or losing hours of your life going down the looping rabbit hole. It needs to have an element of fun/entertainment. Otherwise we lose interest and those hours of practice turn into hours of resentment. I think Paul stuck with it for so many years because, even though the music wasn't emotionally perfect, the act of learning and getting better provided some kind of value to his life. It easy to criticize, as Paul mentioned, but really those young years (not of age, but of learning our instrument), are for exploring our musical tastes. Everyone's musical universe is a unique cerebral experience, and the only way to explore it is by jumping in, messing up, getting weird, and finding your unique musical self. Thanks Paul for the great instruction over the years and sharing your musical journey.

I didn't think I was any good, couldn't even tune my cheap acoustic guitar, and almost gave-up. This was back in the early 1970's when learning was much more difficult, you had to learn by ear from records and radio, or have a friend willing to show you how to play. Nowadays lucky young people have youtube to learn from, and other online modalities, making it much easier, but you still have to put in the time. I was about to give-up on trying to learn, but the guy's house I was renting a room from was a roadie for Brian Ray back in his pre-Etta James days, and He came over to visit one day. When Brian heard my excellent stereo blasting some good rock'n music, he came to my room to check it out. After rolling a joint out of my stems and seeds, we smoked it, then he picked-up my cheap out of tune acoustic, tuned it, and blew my mind with his amazing talent. I even told him he'd be famous someday, to which he replied modestly "there are many guitar players better than me" (but I was right!). He came over several times after that, his parents house was just down the hill from where I lived - reason the owner new Brian. I remember when he just bought the 1957 gold top Les Paul, about when he got the gig with Etta, he brought it over and was playing it for us through a pig nose amp. Now that guitar looks like "Keith Richards face" according to Brian, and if you see a picture of it - there is a resemblance!

As someone who started on electric i think i would have developed as a musician faster if i started on acoustic and focused on chord patterns more. However one thing that did make a radical improvement in both my lead and rhythm playing was eventually buying a loop pedal because it had a built in metronome so my timing sharpened up dramatically, it forced me to come up with cool chord prgressions to play over and because it's a constant loop i could sit there improvising for hours over the same thing. Add up this kind of practice daily for about a good 5 years and theres almost not a single progression you wont be able to solo well over

"Don't get rid of the part of you that's cringe, get rid of the part of you that cringes." I'm painfully aware of my choppy playing, my crappy tone, my insufficient singing, and it's basically impossible for me to play or sing in front of anybody because I'm so self-conscious about all of it. I wish this video didn't start off with "Ugh, look how bad I sucked back then" but with "Hey, maybe I didn't know that much back then, and I've learned so much since, but what I had was enough to get on stage and get people excited!"

Loved to see some early footage of you! Made me realise .. My first gig was the worst imaginable.. The day of my school's talent show I went home "sick" from school to practise some more cuz I was nervous I'd screw it up. My mom found out and grounded me, but I couldnt leave my band hanging.. so later that day I climbed out my bathroom window (with gigbag), got down grabbed my bike and went to school. On stage I felt confident but o man.. the other guitarist started the song and when I needed to play my first notes... no sound.. looking at my bandmates like STOP we need to start over.. no reaction. So I started playing without hearing a note I played cuz the show went on. Ended up breaking a string cuz I played so hard that I could somehow hear myself, hurting my fingers even got blood on my pickguard.. man it was a nightmare to never forget. Hahaha. Nowadays its going better than ever before!

Glad you shared this looking back experience, I think picking up an instrument, and then subsequently learning more about music changes the way we hear it. I prior to starting my guitar journey would spend most of my days listening to music, while doing whatever I was doing, but it was only after I started playing that I would start to notice little nuances I never had, then I could for lack of a better word filter what instrument I was listening to. Then that lead into predicting what the next note would/could be in a melody/song I was hearing for the first time. Sometimes it wouldn't go how I felt it should (I'm looking at you Jazz!) but I could hear it both ways in my head which was a new, and odd experience that didn't start until after I began playing an instrument. Anyways it was an honor to see you critique your past self's work, I look forward to more great content✌️

Fast forward to 2020 and I revisited my love for guitar. And eventually, KZfaq algorithm lead me to Rick Beato, JHS Show, Rhett Shull, The Studio Rats, Jay Leonard Jay, Rabea Massaad, Chris Buck, Perf De Castro, Pax and most especially, you, Paul.

You deserve 3 million man! Amazing guitarist, teacher and entertainer, I wouldn't be the player I am today without you! I started playing guitar and bass in 2018 which means I've been playing for about 4 years now. The first nearly 3 years were very slow, annoying and almost tedious, but the second I reached the three year mark everything changed, it all just began to click. I graduated high school a little over 2 months ago now and for my HSC music performances I did two guitar and two bass pieces, The Wind Cries Mary (Jimi Hendrix), Riveria Paradise (SRV), Dani California (RHCP) and It's A Shame (The Spinners). Looking back on it now I could've chosen more challenging pieces, but learning these 4 songs (especially SRV) really opened my eyes to a whole world of guitar I never even knew about!

Congrats on the 3m. No idea what number I was - I think it was about 1.6 when I subscribed. The videos are really great, Paul. I'm glad it's all working out for you. All the very best.

I was 17 in the spring of 1965 when a couple of my buddies and I, and a borrowed drummer, played a 12 bar bluesy thing we made up at our high school talent show. It was my first time in public. I was very nervous but after the crowd applauded for an encore (we weren't that good), I was hooked. We went on to play at various venues until I got drafted into the Army. I always encourage young inexperienced performers to go for it - the experience can kick off a life time pleasure.
