The fact that me being just a beginner in guitar able to understand this concept, only proves how nicely each concept is explained by Paul. Wonderful. Makes me want to learn more and more. Thanks for making each concept so easy to grasp & understand.
In certain live songs there was a constant back and forth, call and response, from the guitar to Plant, or the reverse, sometimes reaching levels that seemed to be totally spontaneous and rewriting the book on the dynamics between a vocalist and guitar. They felt 100% confident doing that, which tells you how tight they were. I think Angus Young and Brian Johnson, or Bon, they do that some too, but not to the level of Page and Plant.

I'm a few years in and all I can say is this channel is gold for all guitarists! Concise, to the point, and the lesson/point is easily understood. You have a new fan/student.
Thanks, Paul, for this GREAT video! This hits on one of music's fundamental truths -- that most good music is based on human speech. We usually play and hear music in phrases, and the reason that works is that it mirrors human breathing. Speech is driven by the breath. It's a necessity for singers and most players of wind instruments -- trumpets, flutes, saxophones, bassoons, oboes, and kazoos -- to divide musical sequences of notes into discrete phrases because the player must pause briefly to inhale between the exhalations that drive phrases. Even if you're playing a guitar piano, organ, or bagpipes, where breathing can be done independently of note-playing, it still makes sense to the brains of most listeners to hear music as a succession of phrases rather than as an unbroken stream of notes. The call-and-response pattern makes music more conversational, and that makes it more intimate and comfortable for most listeners. We're listening to a musical dialogue rather than a speech. The call-and-response pattern surely began with singing. It's quite common in some quite old religious hymn-singing traditions, but it also works in instrumental music and not only that made with wind instruments. How are you doing? Fine, thank you!
One of my favorite examples is late legends Gary Moore and BB King jamming on "Thrill is Gone". Sure, countless legends have jammed to it but that one was...just chef's kiss. You could hear each of their styles distinctly and it sounded like a conversation.
i had only been playing guitar a few months when i saw that clip of BB and Clapton playing that song together and it influenced my idea of what a great experience it can be for humans to play guitar together face to face
This is all the kind of stuff I've unconsciously picked up on from practice and listening to music. This is great, this is definitely how you make your music have that blues feel. One you get the basics of learning some modes/scales, you have to think about your instrument like a voice.
Love this Paul. I have been teaching this a lot recently in private lessons. Encouraging people to experiment with vocal phrases and replicating them as a guitar melody. Crazy that you dropped this video at the same time. 👌🏻
Revisiting "the search of everything" from JM I also found an amazing example of this. The licks from "moving on and getting over" are just perfect to anyone trying to find examples of call and response
A really clear and entertaining lesson. I am not a muso, I am just here to see how music is constructed - this is perfect level of info for the ignorant but curious.
- If you learn anything… Hey man, I grew up in a musician environment, I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years, and there’s not a single video of yours I don’t learn something new! Very thank you for your work!
Beethoven was a master of building expectations, repetition and C&R. The art is in getting the timing right, like a great comedian: deliver the musical punchline just before the audience gets there. I must listen to Beethoven 7 3rd movement after watching this. 7:55 - He really *is* Dutch. I had wondered: Non-Dutch name; almost impeccable English (British English accent tarnished by Americanisms); Dutch looks.
Thankyou Paul, for articulating something that we all have heard but maybe haven't thought consciously about.Of course, especially in blues this call and response was maybe a direct result of guys working on the railroad or elsewhere, and a pecking order in work gangs would mean someone calling something like "PULL!" ,and the other workers acknowledging the command so as to co-ordinate the flow of nailing down sleepers , or digging with shovels or cutting in the fields. This kind of system enabled drill Sargent accuracy and continuity which was essential for the team to work as a unit, and efficiently complete the work.Also this type of rhythm led to an emphasised pocket or backbeat which typically helped keep things even.How wonderful that this has passed down into the music we all love("its got a backbeat, you can't lose it) Chuck Berry..
One of the more clear explanation I have seen of a principle that is difficult to ilustrarte in a simple way. Fantastic class, very lucid. I love the way you exemplifies things. Great
@@xderiwx A little late but Paul has said in his videos that his Les Paul, this one being played, is a 1959 Reissue Custom Shop. I think 2009? But anyway, I hope that helps
I can't tell you how much it means to me to have something that I can watch that I can shut out the entire world for a few minutes thank you sir and you're an amazing player!
LOVE IT Paul, I do wish RUclips was around in 1982 when I started, so that I would have access to guitarists such as yourself that teach, and that content like yours was repeatable at one’s own fingertips like this... As a non-natural musician, it took me decades of weekly lessons and tabs to become proficient... I hope your sharing your wisdom and techniques inspires guitarists around the world to progress the craft further... ✌️
paul im so glad i stumbled upon your channel some months ago, i started to play guitar about one year ago and you have helped me soooo much, thanks for everything man🖤
I'm so glad I found you Paul, better late than never! I continue to learn so much more from you, even after all these years. You never stop learning right🙏 Ty my brother
Great video, I just put a blues backing track on , and jam along . My wife actually did leave me ! I can play guitar at volume and drink whisky in my own house now! Every cloud has a silver lining!
Very nice lesson (as usual) & Gibson sounded beautiful. I was teaching my kids at school some simple improvising last week & asked them to create a musical conversation after using some words first. They looked at me as if I was mad....I'll show them your video next week!! Thanx
This idea seems simple and obvious, but this lesson was so very helpful. Just thinking of actual words does seem to help to stop playing the same things over and over.
call and response, similar to create tension and resolve tension, but this just drives the idea right home. One are the best lessons I think you've done since I've been watching you. I think it'll be really helpful in my phrasing. I might just learn soloing after all. Lol
Why are there so many great Dutch guitar players? At last some serious competition to the British monopoly. Love the quirky humour too. And well articulated.
Damn, every video i recently watched from your channel has been eye opening, thanks for the fresh and different vision of stuff i've been stuck on for years
Paul, as my friend and fellow Scotsman Ross Campbell said about you to Tim Pierce, you are not only an incredible guitarist & teacher but you are a master at innovative video creation/direction/presentation. And that 'mirror' effect was uber cool, sir! Loved the lesson too, of course! 😁👌
You, sir, are an amazing guitar instructor. Your exercise in explaining call and response in terms of an actual conversation was very insightful. Call and response is so powerful because it mimics the actual sound of human speech
Paul, this is a great video. I don't play any lead guitar (mostly rhythm and singing) but this is like the Rosetta Stone to understanding blues soloing! I'm now listening to lead examples and it is starting to make sense. Excellent!
Paul Davids, the Bob Ross of guitar playing. Only BETTER!!!!
Put just a happy little major chord over here oh yes that sounds quite nice. And if not that's ok because we're painting.
And Pete Davidson

Yes
This is the best comparison, I'm mad I didn't think of it! 😂😎
Nice one.
One of my favorite call and responses is at the end of Pink Floyd's Echoes between David Gilmour and Richard Wright
Yes! Or the "Remember That Night" version of Then I Close My Eyes. Best musical chemistry I've ever seen/heard.
Was going to comment this
It's amazing
Yeah he learned that from Syd Barrett
Since I've been loving you by Led Zeppelin when played live, the part when it says " Of course I love you baby"
The fact that me being just a beginner in guitar able to understand this concept, only proves how nicely each concept is explained by Paul. Wonderful. Makes me want to learn more and more. Thanks for making each concept so easy to grasp & understand.
Sid, you said it perfectly.
Explaining call and response by using text convos is probably the biggest breakthrough in music education of 2020. Please don't stop making videos👌👌👌
The ending of the stairway to heaven solo when plant goes "ahah ahah"
And page plays the last of licks, that is a really good example of this too
Plant went “ahah ahah” in three quarters of Led Zeppelin’s discography, they’ve got a lot of these moments lmao
@@eep9391 yeah absolutely love their dynamic
yea but we know which one he meant

Whole lotta love is a great example too.
Not to mention the live version of dazed and confused

The ending of the solo on "Hotel California" by The Eagles has one of the best call and response guitar pharases ever.
Bass players: “repetition legitimizes.”
Guitar players:”repetition always works.”

You have really outdone yourself with this one Paul, this is by far the best music lesson I’ve ever seen in my life.

Dont know man... That flamed maple top has hypnotized me. Cant stop admiring it
paul makes me realize how much faster i could have progressed if i had a really good teacher in the beginning
One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer is a song which is basically all call and response, it's worth a listen
Would love to learn this one. Great song
That‘s a great song.Low she was lovy-dovy, ... and out the door I went.
Sounds like the beginning of a joke: a bourbon, a scotch and a beer walk into a bar. (I'll leave the second line up to someone else.)

Your guitar playing is cool, but you should really make a video about your editing skills. Man, they are fire 🔥.
Can't reveal all the secrets...
One of my favorite examples is late legends Gary Moore and BB King jamming on "Thrill is Gone". Sure, countless legends have jammed to it but that one was...just chef's kiss. You could hear each of their styles distinctly and it sounded like a conversation.
i had only been playing guitar a few months when i saw that clip of BB and Clapton playing that song together and it influenced my idea of what a great experience it can be for humans to play guitar together face to face
I knew i loved blues and now I understand why. This just set me loose on how to listen to music with even more understanding.
Wow man the best instruction on call and response sooo thankful
Pink Floyd - Cluster One is a perfect example of a conversation; almost a soul-searching interview.All done without words.
is anyone else just in LOVE with that tone??
As a beginner exploring music, this is the video i needed the most.
