Americans React...

[@bluesbaby8]

Cool clean playing and whammy bar garnishes, Paul!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Hey Alicia! Thanks for the visit and the kind words. Every so often I leave the distortion pedal alone... You caught me on the right day 😆

[@grahamaldridge]

That’s a beautifully clean, ringing and dynamic Strat tone. Nice to “see you” again. :-)

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thanks Gra. I'm always here or hereabouts giving some poor guitar a beating 😆... I do like this one mind you, so I treat it with love.

[@wrigleyx]

We both have anderstood how to use a Strat guitar, and his dynamic ; it's far from being abvious for everyone.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Yeah Fred! You play fast too (which I can't 😂) but loud and quiet or hard and soft is very important. Merci.

[@GodfreyTempleton]

That's the way to play a Stratocaster - standing up, that's what it was designed for.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

As much as I enjoy sitting down these days, you're right 😆 Thanks so much for stopping by. I very much appreciate it.

[@BrianJensen-hq5xj]

Love that Sunburst Maple Strat. Nice playsing sir.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thank you so much. It's a sweet guitar and I am very pleased to own it 😊

[@VictorMawhinney]

BIG👍 Paul , Oh yes , I am enjoying this 👌👌👌 🎸🎶🎸.....👍🎶👍👍

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I'm glad to hear it and very much appreciate the comment. Thanks so much 😊

[@joseluiselvirad]

Otro buen trabajo Paul, está muy muy bien, enhorabuena una vez más desde Madrid y gracias, like 3

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Eres muy amable. Muchas gracias. Un saludo a Madrid.

[@recreepy]

I'm thoroughly impressed-great job!😋😋😋

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thank you very much indeed. I've just been enying your jealous face. I thought it was terrible dread at first and then the other two appeared and the jealousy reared its ugly head... from then on I went into a Scarfe-tinted '60s reverie. Lovely 😊

[@zepp2498]

I am not american,still here is my reaction....to your playing: GREAT, just GREAT. Bravo Paul👏. Big Like👍

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thank you so much Joseph. I'm glad you're not American. I like your voice too much 😊

[@zepp2498]

Merci mon ami. Actually I just spoke about you to my KZbin Neatherland friend who came to see me in France for this weekend. We already met 5 years ago in France, and a year later at his place ( where we did Stairway to heaven...a song a dreamed to play with somebody). Anyway, as he did not know you I told him I'll introduce your channel to him. I know he will like it. I hope things will calm down in your country....

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thank you Joseph, for introducing me to your friend. Bad people always make more noise and cause more trouble but some bad people are in prison already and the police and government say that everyone responsible will be tracked down and punished. I feel so bad for the people who were attacked who have done nothing but come here to find a better life. The last government with stupid brexit and bad ministers have spent too long blaming 'foreigners' and the country is not the same as it was 2010. All we can do is be as good as we can and remember that there are nasty people everywhere, but more nice people.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thanks for introducing me to your friend. Yes! Things have been horrible here but a lot of people have been caught and the government and police say they will catch everyone involved. I feel so sorry for the poor people who have come here looking for a better life only to find a lot of people whose minds have been poisoned by the last government. We must remember there are more good people than bad, it's just that the bad people make more trouble and more noise.

[@zepp2498]

As I myself lived 30 years away from France I know ( a little) what it is to be a foreigner. I don't like to say too much about politics on KZbin, but yes, Brexit was ( is) wrong, for you and for us. As you say, there are more good people than bad, so let's just concentrate on them.

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

Americans have been reacting a lot here lately, it’s election time, hehe. Love it, Paul! A mellow and groovy sound to get us through these wild days here. :) Janet

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Election time takes such a long time over there I'm surprised anyone can get up the enthusiasm to vote when the time comes... Mind you the upcoming election is ultra-important for the USA and the world so fingers crossed. Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac I hope I don’t make anyone mad, but I’ve voting for Kamala Harris. Anyway, you have a great day, Paul!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

You're not making me mad and if anyone thinks you're wrong I hope they'll keep their opinions to themselves.

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac Thanks for that, Paul. I hope you have a great rest of the week. :)

[@ChangoGuitarras]

Very beautiful sound, amazing cool licks, like my friend

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

You're very kind. Thanks so much 😊

[@doctorcatsburger]

Sounds good, reminds me of Jerry Garcia there at first. Really no relay or nothing at the very end. Good ol' Strat.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Hey Doc! The man with green fingers. Nice to se you. Jerry Garcia is not a player I grew up with but I know he is much loved so I thank you for the compliment 😊

[@doctorcatsburger]

@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac Oh

[@RoseAkerman]

Here’s an American reacting: yo! Cool as a pack of frozen peas!! 😂

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Haha! Thanks Rose. I'm having a vaguely jazzy morning. 😊

[@2009framat]

You got a lot visitors from almost every part of the world. US-Americans, Canadians, Australians etc. are all native english speakers so do they react differently from non-english speaking countries? 🙂 Aside from grammatical errors etc.. Good music like always Frank

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Hi Frank! Thank you. Probably 90% of comments are in English though some look like they have been through a translator first. Other than that, Spanish, French, Thai and some unidentifiable (by me) languages. Generally everyone reacts positively. I probably get 1 'dislike' in every 15 videos, but I don't get that many views so I doubt it means anything useful 😊

[@jltrem]

I'm American and here's my reaction: That's an old Custom Shop, ain't it??

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Wotcher! Yes, you're right. It is a 2000 Custom Shop '56 Stratocaster that I bought new in 2001 having just been made redundant by the company that I had worked for for 24 years. It was from before the whole 'master builder' demented relic thing started and I love it 😊

[@jennysguitarworld]

Oh yes that was very cool, oh and I'm not an American 👍😁

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Thanks Jenny... and I prefer your charming Britishness if I may say so 😊

[@StevePdue]

Very Garciaish.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Jerry Garcia is not a player I know much about but I know he is widely loved by many, so I will take that as a great compliment and say thanks very much .😊
