3)turn volume knob all the way up
All you need to make your les Paul sound better than 80% of guitars
Dam Straight !
New strings, medium or even heavy gauge.
I use heavy bottoms.nice deep tones when playing chords.
instead of kill switch just get a crappy cable and the sound will cut in and out
10000% agree!
Why does he look like what would happen if Hetfield sobered up and became a college professor
Funny. " Books will dull your mind son"
He is more looking like Paul Gilbert 😂
Nah. Hetfield has a round face, and a small nose. Completely different phenotype. This guy looks like a med, James looks Germanic.
Hetfield is sober

The Les Paul and the OCD are a match made in Heaven.
Yes sir, correct!
Totally Agree
Add a precision drive and a wampler tumnus deluxe and you hit the all reaching powerful colorful distortion tone
I have yet to ever find another dirt pedal that can do what an OCD does with the guitars tone rolled off. Whether it be a Strat or Lp.
I recently fell in love with that combination!
Great pointers! It's amazing how many younger guys don't know how much tonal and saturation control they have right at their finger tips! This is how us old geezers controlled things back in the 60's and 70's.
For the woman tone I prefer to do what Eric does by turning the tone on 0 for both pickups, and then have both pickups active
you're a legend man, you just made my tone so much better
@Sam Mitchell : Please provide external link for credibility. Thanks
Ashutosh Pathak no one lies when it comes to giving tone tips on RUclips
Ashutosh Pathak I don’t know the link but there’s a famous interview Clapton did in his Cream days with his SG. Just search it on RUclips and you’ll see it, Clapton says it himself

There you go 👍
I play a harley benton and these tricks learned me a lot. Thanks man i just started playing and love every second of it
I had my Gibson Les Paul Hotrodded. The sounds and tones I get know as opposed to factory wiring is incredible and endless. I recommend all L.P. players consider it. I love it as do my friends that try it out!
I'm 4 years late to reply on your comment, but honest question here, can you elaborate on what you meant by hotrodding your Les Paul? Do you mean changing it to "hotter/heavier sounding" pickups?
Not sure if its the fact that he's an excellent guitarist, or is that the most perfectly 'set-up' guitar Ive ever heard... No buzzing frets, perfect intonation, and great sustain.
my thought exactly
Those are really cool tricks especially for a beginner to learn. Certainly a refresher for me , you don't need a lot of pedals and the like to get a variety of good tones. These techniques where used when there were only single Channel guitar amplifiers and many of them we're only non master volume amps, so they only choice a guitarist had was the use the controls on his or her instrument to create a wide variety of tones with just one amplifier. Today's amplifiers have multiple channels which can create different stores and sounds as well as clean tones.Players today many of the young players even have lost the art of actually playing their instrument and not their pedals and or amplifier.This is just my most humble opinion of course . Rock on!
Thank you Erich, appreciate all you do for us buddy!
Totally love the Les Paul sound! Its one of the few guitars that cut into the mix by itself!
what an awesome sound. wicked tone from that les paul.
MAN thanks there are not many tutorials like this, tone is a whole serious thing to study, respect!
*Dials in woman tone, doesn't play Sunshine of Your Love*
Like a monster
Haha I was thinking the same
Thinking that too, but some songs are just too “on the nose”. I can appreciate not going to that well too many times. 🤷🏻♂️
The toggle switch trick around 7:10 reminds me of good ol' Ace Frehley on KISS Alive.
These were all tricks I'd used but had forgotten over the years, thanks for the reminders.
I love this channel!! So much great content. Thanks!!
Thank you so much! I picked up playing guitar again after 8 years of not playing. I want to get back to my old hobby. I went out and bought a Gibson Les Paul and I’m loving it! Can’t wait to try all these.

Thank you for this! The dirty pickup/ clean pickup switch was exactly what i was looking for!
Thanks for the video. Definitely gonna try the clean 1/ dirty 2
Simple tricks I found useful. Thanks man
Excellent info......will use these settings on my Epi LP
I never learned this stuff until I played in a 'classic' rock band with older fellas where I needed a Seymour Duncan boost pedal just to hear myself in the rehearsals! They were all deaf and I realised the volume control on the LP didn't reduce the actual volume, and that I could get so many different sounds just by adjusting the volume and tone pots.
Awesome video. Learned a lot. Thanks so much.
Wonderful video! Great tones too.
Very interesting point you hit on there about the electronics in the guitar and the impact they have. Would love to hear more videos about the difference the quality electronic components make to the overall sound.
Great videos man, nice to see such well produced videos without just trying to sell some shit.
I just started getting into playing the guitar and u have taught me a lot of things which have probably been taught over the course of months if I had a teacher thx Erich
Happy to help!
Best Trick..your Videos make me want to pick up the Guitar every time i watch one...thanks so much
Great for me that im just getting into LP and SG's, been a strat player most part of my life
Came home from work early today to take delivery of my new 2020 1960s iced tea les Paul. Subbed to your channel great content.
Why did I never think of that kill switch trick! Awesome!!!!
Man.... Gotta love Les Pauls 🤩 it's really always been LP vs Fender, no matter how many other companies there are.
Hi there, having finally adding a Les Paul to my “strat” collection...I am still getting used to playing it so this is a great help 👍🏻 thanks 😁
Thanks man. Great video
I always enjoy your videos dude....
Man this some good stuff ! You have a great looking and sounding Les Paul !
Great video sir! Thanks for sharing. Just bought a les Paul and I’m excited to try this stuff out. Keep rocking !
🤘
Thank you 🙏 it was very helpful
Thanks so much for all that you do! Truly enjoy your videos 🤘
Thanks, Tim!
actually Hendrix is the first killswitch user. it's in voodoo chile slight return from the 1969 masterpiece called electric ladyland
From what I've seen, he would double tap the wah pedal, not mute the pup. You'll notice SRV did this too...
I've seen it done, and that's just regular pickup switching. No killswitch involved.
that les paul is gorgeous man. I just bought one an absolutely love it
This is why I play a Les Paul as my primary. I have a Strat also but the Paul is my main. Thanks to players like Frehley, Frampton, Page, Schon, Felder and so many more that influenced me.
Ace Frehley was my main influence when I was a kid and wanted to play. My dad got me a knock off strat when I was 8-9 but I watched so many videos of Ace, I HAD to have a cherry sunburst Gibson LP. Been playing guitar for over 15 years and last year my wife got me my first Gibson LP standard for a wedding gift. It plays incredible
This is really encouraging for someone like me, I picked up the guitar without any training, just to cope with the pressure of medical school and now I can play full fledged covers thanks to your videos and many like them. Sending tons of love from India....❤️ Thank you so much ..

Great hobby!
Best advice I ever heard or read about developing skill as a musician was to learn every song you can. You’ll forget most of them, but your fingers will remember the movements and they’ll recall little bits at the right time as you grow as an instrumentalist.
@@steelman774 how long have you been playing?
@@HughJitsu about 30 years this summer. I started when I was 17 between my 11th and 12th grade by learning any and every song I could. Now I am 47 years old and am way more focused on my playing but still find myself throwing out licks that I’m thinking, “that was a cool piece I just improvised... wait... that was a little kind of like that ____ piece.” Art reimagined. That’s why I love this channel. Always something new to try. Always something new to learn. If you stop learning, you start dying.
@@steelmandavid5591 Thanks for the reply. I am almost 51 and have been practicing for 2 years. I shied away from learning a bunch of songs to learn some more theory but it's sooooo boring. I'll be getting back to the songs as your reply resonates
Funny that I should come across this video...just had my Les Paul out the other night & was experimenting with tone, volume, switch...more that I had done in a long time. Pete Townshend is my fave guitarist and I was experimenting with attempting to play some Who stuff, and was able to capture some sounds pretty close to how Pete did them. (Or at least it sounded that way to me, lol...now if I could just play 1/1000 as well as he can! lol) It's pretty cool how versatile Les Pauls are & how just a little tweaking can give you so many different sound options. Learned a lot from this video. Thanks for posting it & thanks for all you do for all of us out here! :) ( And thanks for mentioning to be kind to all beings! :)) Janine
Awesome tone man and sound like blues
Erich - Thanks for this. Now I can switch between Albatross & Highway to Hell at the flick of a switch. Very useful for my next Rockschool exam!
Great video! Great tricks!!
Great! (as usual...). Thanks for sharing you knowledge.
You're welcome, Antonio! Thanks for watching!
Glad I picked up a Les Paul as my first electric guitar.... No pedals yet only a 20w amp w/ Distortion and I just knock my tunes out of the park :D
🤘
What an informative video. Thank you! 🙏🎸
🙌
Great, thank you!
That's a beautiful looking Les Paul.
Thank you for the lesson!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Nice tips, man!
I have another one, leaving the switch in the middle position, and turning down the neck volume to 5, while leaving the bridge all the way up.
You can also do the reverse of this, while also you don't have to set it at 5, you can experiment, while getting all kind of tones.
I use #3 mixed with #1. Clean Guitar/ Dirty Guitar but the clean is a little dirty. If I take a soft finger-style approach (or hold a loose pick) it’s pretty and almost clean but with a pick I can bear into the strings and almost get the Woman tone. The middle position becomes the Rock channel and the bridge becomes the Lead/hardrockMetal sound. Les Paul with its 4 knobs (my bridge volume goes to 11) is still my primary and my favorite guitar for versatility.
Nice informative video. Thank you.
I'm alllll over that killer kill switch trick, thanks E!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you very much
2:35 this reminds me go with a flow by qotsa dude, i love it dat guitar man, thanks
Awesome video. Have you ever done a video explaining the common effects terms, what they mean, where they come from, etc. ? e.g. reverb, overdrive, gain, delay... I've never been able to wrap my head around these terms.
Nice vid, I got 212 peavey tube, allowing clean and crunch blend.
This is awesome! I have a Les Paul Studio Gem Series that I love, though I know that it has P90's rather than Humbuckers, I'm going to give this a shot. Thanks for getting me out of my plateau and complacency. Bravo.
Thank you so much Natalie. So glad that helps for you. You are so welcome😃
newbie - loved it!
Thanks bro now learn new tab and new chord nice..
you have a spectacular sound that pick up fits this guitar
Cool tips, thanks!
you are very welcome!
Great, thanks!
🙌
Thank u for this vdo ...
Page would always do the killswitch trick live when messing around, not sure why its VH thing, I mostly know it through page.
NICE. Did not know these things. There's a lot of guitar things I don't know about. And recorded proof of that too.
I used to use clean/dirty pickup trick so much, then I got an overdrive pedal :)
Very good, thank you
🙌
You can get a cocked wah sound without a pedal on a les paul (or any guitar with the 2vol 2tone layout) or a baja tele.
Get a decent crunch/overdrive setting on your amp.
For les paul:
1) middle position
2) neck pickup volume on 10, tone on 10
3) bridge pickup volume on 10, tone on zero.
For baja tele
1) engage the s1 switch
2) balance the pickup selector between position 2 and 3 (like people used to do on old strats, Yes there are 7 possible sounds/combinations on a baja tele, not 6 as advertised).
3) roll off the tone to zero
Instant 'Money for Nothing' tone
Great video !!!!
Thanks!
happy to hear!!
Dominik Górecki you have pretty shitty teacher then lol
Thks man
Eric. Thank you for the “tricks”. I now know the controls on my guitar (1963 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst ‘replica’) are not working as should.
Love the clean/dirty pickup technique!
Glad you like it!
Or just use a 2 channel amp and the footswitch
great..awesome vídeo
Thank you Edward! 👍
well done
Thanks!
this woman tone is amazing...loving it! Could you tell me your amp settings? I tried it for myself, but it sounds way different...
Thanks you the best
You're the best!
Thank you James Hetfield
Professor Hetfield
This is a really cool lesson.....something similar for a Strat, and may how to get great tones from some popular amps, would be brilliant too!
Solid idea!

Cool tones Erich...I have a 1978 'Paul -Blonde Face, Mahogany Back, Maple neck...and very heavy...I'll have to break it out...Thanks for the tips...
5 STARS!
--Van
break it out my friend!
The best tone is simple a Marshall Lester Paul magic
sweet guitar!
It's no accident the classic combo of maple top over mahogany body. Les Paul himself demanded Gibson to take his name off the SG and invent a real guitar with sonic depth and texture. Good lesson Erik, thanks a lot!!
Les Paul's definitely have the best woman tone. Though my ES-339 is a close second. Enjoyed the video!
339 club! Rock on : )
Pineapple Yea, I just love it!
My old Strat had a great woman tone. Listen to the Cream Reunion Concert at The Royal Albert Hall back in 2005, mine sounded close to that. Remember I said Close. It got stolen. Born under a Bad Sign. :)
Brett Wall I agree. They really do. My SG does it well also. I was blown away by how good Gibson’s sound in general when I moved away from Fender’s and started playing mostly Gibson’s.
SG and Les Paul are the same guitar. Main difference is that SG is way cooler, and way cheaper.
Nice, nice.
Thank you 🙏
O.K. firstly Thankyou for taking the time to make and post this video! I have just bought my first Les Paul at age 55 (me, not the guitar!) and so I'm very keen to learn what I can make it do. Secondly, my LP has a loose tuning peg cover on the D string and no one that I can find has posted a clear, accurate video of the recommended way to fix it. Recommended by Gibson, that is. It's a very common problem apparently so I'm sure a video would make many, many guitarists very happy! Repairs probably aren't your thing but you said ask anything, right? O.K., now I'll concentrate on your lessons and visit your website. Cheers from New Zealand!!
Gibson forum may help with a specific issue like that.
Of course! Thanks so much!
wow you can change your tone with the tone & volume knobs, groundbreaking :)
Vol knob issue. Easy fix. Place a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and very gently open up the gap. Gently . The refit the knob . Gently
0:13, This is how you turn the sound to overdrive in a different way.
Cool
Thanks for your lessons. Big fan, but I noticed the selector switch was up and you said it was the bridge pickup. No problem, I still like you! Check out Joe Bonamassa's Les Paul tone he demonstrates. He mostly uses a blend of both pickups, and the volume tone controls for his signature tone. You’re the man, nothing personal, please keep up sharing your videos!
Good eye
Awesome video.. thank you! What pickups do you have on that LP reissue?
