You're such a fine guitarist. I think you could just about play anything you wanted to, & always to an impeccable standard. Never a sloppy note or pick. Your vids are always very enjoyable.
Seventy years old and I have taken countless guitar lessons and still can't play to save my life but I still play for my own enjoyment from time to time. Over the years I have learned many things but never one song in its entirety, by the time I learn it I am done with ever hearing it again but love just fooling around with sounds and positions and skills. I have to say I enjoy your videos and your compassion and knowledge and it gives me more directions I can go to improve my ear and listening powers. I may never play to the public again but it gives me a wonderful time for myself when I do play and try to learn new techniques you have learned so quickly in your life. In short, I am trying to say thank you for sharing your knowledge so unselfishly you are one of the few that deserve to be called a professional teacher.
No shredding on this channel. Another reason to subscribe and follow. Not to mention the soulful playing. Well done, as usual. Keep up the good work. Deeply appreciated.
Some great ideas.. as usual 😀 Fave bit of dynamics for BB King is in the last minute or two of 'The Thrill Is Gone' at Montreux in 1993... There's a long period of very quiet playing.. he hits a couple of harder notes.. his trademark 'spike' and slide... and then he stands and rips into it... That is really goosebumps f'me... 🤩
I've been stuck on your hendrix rhythm video for the last week, picking up bits I love and trying to perfect them. This video is perfect for what I need next. Thank you
Every time I watch and listen to you I get motivated. You are fantastic at demonstrating the greats. At the end of the day just play the guitar with feeling. You are smooth at nailing it!
Your observation about the genius (my word) of BB King's dynamics is so well made. Buddy Whittington is a fine, long established rock and blues player who is also a master of dynamics, and for mine is deserving of much more attention.
Thank you, for the great lesson , it's refreshing to have more than one approach to playing thank you . So pleased to see the other great guitarist by the name of Moore being mentioned, Elvis would be pleased.
Thanks a ton Thom. To hear the different styles from the masters (played by another master....) is simply amazing. It really brought home how different players approach their playing. So humbling, yet so very inspiring. Peace.
i agree by far when it comes to the most who changed the way we look at the fretboard. jimi hendrix. his blueprint in playing licks combining the scale and chords to come up with the melody. no one ever thought about that until he came and changed guitar playing forever.
Great lesson of practical tips and soulful playing, thank you for sharing! Any advice on how you get your outrageous guitar tone would also be greatly appreciated.
It HAS to be fun to be you! Because it is greatly entertaining and inspiring to watch/listen to you. And to think guitar is just One of your great talents! Stay Well Groovy One!
Hello! You are such a monster player and so versatile. I love your videos. I always marvel at the fluidity of your strumming hand, and notice how you hold the pick is different than others. Would you ever consider doing a video on your strumming style? I would really appreciate that inside look. Cheers.
Owww a Top Ten - what are your thoughts on Freddy King , Jeff Beck , Ritchie Blackmore, Mike Okdfield & Leslie West? .. Anyway : it’s always a joy to hear and listen to your explanation . Your kids are playing air guitar as well?
Great reference video to bookmark and come back to, thanks. Btw, I noticed your pick is triangular and has some holes. Is it custom-made, if not what brand is it? I have done a similar thing to my pick for a better grip.
If you ever want to sell that Paoletti I’m your guy. It’s stunning. Visually and sonically. I contacted them after I saw your vid and they just don’t have any others w that beautiful wood grain.
As great as this video was, it is pretty jaw dropping that you fade out into one of Eddie Van Halen's most difficult intro riffs. I hope there is more to come.

Well said 👍
Hi Pilgrim, I love that dark color and the grain on that telecaster, never seen one like it, very special and a nice idea for a video.
Seventy years old and I have taken countless guitar lessons and still can't play to save my life but I still play for my own enjoyment from time to time. Over the years I have learned many things but never one song in its entirety, by the time I learn it I am done with ever hearing it again but love just fooling around with sounds and positions and skills.

What a lovely comment! I am happy to help!
Great comment & I totally and absolutely agree! Couldn't have said it any better!
Keep up the playing and give us a video . Cheers . ✨✨✨🎸✨✨✨🏆🇺🇸🇨🇦🇫🇴
78, going on 79, and I share your pain.
Got cha brother…….75 here and relate to what you say !!
This is pure “craft distilate”. I wish YT had a “show me this everyday” feature. There’s so much inspiration here. Thank you so much, man. Big big fan
Great that you included Scotty Moore - he often gets overlooked.
No shredding on this channel. Another reason to subscribe and follow. Not to mention the soulful playing. Well done, as usual. Keep up the good work. Deeply appreciated.
Huge bang for the buck in an 11:35m video. Wow thank you.

The Scotty approach is the most musical, and consequently sounds the most beautiful. Hendrix's tricks sound the coolest though.
I've been stuck on your hendrix rhythm video for the last week, picking up bits I love and trying to perfect them. This video is perfect for what I need next. Thank you
You are an amazing musician!
I didn't say just an amazing guitarist, I said amazing musician.
Another incredible video. Love your channel always and your passion for music. Great cover of the song 5150 at the end.
That was just terrific Thom! Your grasp of how other guitarist play is truly amazing! Hope that all is well with you & your family! Thanks....
I just love the tone of that Telecaster. Great video.
Genial, buenos licks para tomar prestados de genios que han aportado tanto a la música. Gracias maestro, me encanta cómo lo explicas ; - )
Your point about dynamics gave me a new insight into my current favorite guitar player, Ronnie Earl.
You, sir, are an excellent teacher.
Every time I watch and listen to you I get motivated. You are fantastic at demonstrating the greats. At the end of the day just play the guitar with feeling. You are smooth at nailing it!
Awesome love your outro riff! EVH RIP!
Alweer een top demonstratie en een waardevolle schat aan onmiskenbare gitaar loopjes.
heerlijk Tele geluid ook!
Dankjewel Thom
Great video! Between all these licks and tricks its damn near the entire encyclopedia of guitar techniques from the 60's and 70's
Your observation about the genius (my word) of BB King's dynamics is so well made. Buddy Whittington is a fine, long established rock and blues player who is also a master of dynamics, and for mine is deserving of much more attention.
Simply the very best guitar channel on RUclips!
All your videos are amazing!! Thanks!!! you make me grab my guitar everytime you upload one!
ALWAYS one of the best channels....
Thank you, for the great lesson , it's refreshing to have more than one approach to playing thank you . So pleased to see the other great guitarist by the name of Moore being mentioned, Elvis would be pleased.
Thanks a ton Thom. To hear the different styles from the masters (played by another master....) is simply amazing. It really brought home how different players approach their playing. So humbling, yet so very inspiring. Peace.
What a fantastic huge and rich sound,and a pleasure to see and hear you.Thanks.
i agree by far when it comes to the most who changed the way we look at the fretboard. jimi hendrix. his blueprint in playing licks combining the scale and chords to come up with the melody. no one ever thought about that until he came and changed guitar playing forever.
You're a muse my guy, you speak through the guitar and you speak it well
This is just excellent in so many ways. Thanks. Just the perfect amount of info and demonstration.
I never fail to learn something from your lessons. Now this lesson? Well, I've learned numerous somethings. Thank you, GP!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing 👌
Damn, Leo Fender got it right fitst time out. Telecaster is most versatile guitar out there; simplicity with infinite electronics permutations.
Cool, I used many of the riffs you play but never really understood where they came from. Love it. Keep practicing 🙂
Excellent!
Easy to follow with your examples.
And that Tele has a cranking sound.
Great lesson of practical tips and soulful playing, thank you for sharing! Any advice on how you get your outrageous guitar tone would also be greatly appreciated.
5150 at the end there Pilgrim, so many good players including you, thanks 👍
Wonderful lesson. Btw. that Paoletti is gorgeous.
the greatest Guitar Teacher on RUclips.

It HAS to be fun to be you! Because it is greatly entertaining and inspiring to watch/listen to you. And to think guitar is just One of your great talents! Stay Well Groovy One!
Jimi page plays a solo in 'the weight' with jack white and the edge. No demos on it on here - love to see your take on it
Hello! You are such a monster player and so versatile. I love your videos. I always marvel at the fluidity of your strumming hand, and notice how you hold the pick is different than others.

Good idea, i'll think about it
Thank you!
Owww a Top Ten - what are your thoughts on Freddy King , Jeff Beck , Ritchie Blackmore, Mike Okdfield & Leslie West? ..
Anyway : it’s always a joy to hear and listen to your explanation . Your kids are playing air guitar as well?
Great stuff, man. Thumbs up
Great, I would add some Johnny guitar Watson's famous funky tricks !
Great Lesson, thanks! What a nice guitar, what brand is it?
That guitar shure sounds nice 👍🎸
A great guitar demystifying video!
Nice video, thank you🙏
Great Stuff Man! Good job! ❤❤❤
Any lesson that starts with Mick Taylor has got to be good!
Very few play with more emotion, accuracy and total knowledge of the fretboard.
Gewoon weer top. Je hebt die gitaar gehouden dus. Wat een top ding.
What a fantastic video have a good weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
I think I’m in love with your guitar a lil bit..
Rosewood body modded with a paf humbucker in the neck position..good idea.
Great Video! Love your Channel! What Song is that in the Endcard? Sounds very nice! Is there any Tab for that? 😜 Greeting from Germany✌
Its s van halen riff 5150
So obvious when you point it out.... great video as always!
Amazing sound as usual! What about that Paoletti??
Great Stuff Brother ~
Interesting and good! 👍
Großartig!👏👍🎸🎶👊
Eddie Hazel, Michael 'kid funkadelic' Hampton, Hubert Sumlin ❤
great video! and best part at 11:09 🤘
Good sounds and information. What’s the make and model of your guitar?
Thom, Pl do a similar lesson focused on rhythm guitar tricks!
Great reference video to bookmark and come back to, thanks.
Btw, I noticed your pick is triangular and has some holes. Is it custom-made, if not what brand is it? I have done a similar thing to my pick for a better grip.
Very nice! Can you please show one slower version for mere mortals? 😊 you actually did for a coupla em actually.
That’s a sweet guitar……what make and year is it?
You’re making it scream brother 🤘🏿
It's probably a custom build. I'm curious what the woods of the body and fretboard are. That's a beautiful grain on that body.
It's chestnut from old Italian wine barrels as far as I know. @@catsofsherman1316
Cool looking guitar - who built that? Are those control knobs actually shotgun cartridge bottoms?
If you ever want to sell that Paoletti I’m your guy. It’s stunning. Visually and sonically. I contacted them after I saw your vid and they just don’t have any others w that beautiful wood grain.
What is that guitar ? I’ve only seen the strat and LP you play . That guitar looks and sounds amazing!
A Paoletti. Italian hand made instrument. Very nice and quite exclusive.
Thanks for your reply 👍🏻
I love your Telecaster 🤤
As great as this video was, it is pretty jaw dropping that you fade out into one of Eddie Van Halen's most difficult intro riffs. I hope there is more to come.
Richard from France, I like your vidéo so much, I would like to know if you play in a band? Best regards🎸✌️🏍️
That's a sweet guitar, man
Thank you.
