Ariel Posen Talk & Tones 2024 [New Strat & New Board!]

[@ArielPosen]

So nice to hang with you fellas as always!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Likewise Ariel! Sorry for the cock up earlier. Doh. Fantastic show last night!

[@AndyeRoy]

I’ve gone back to school and your albums are ALWAYS on while I’m reading and writing. You keep me inspired!

[@SpaceCatKungFu]

Just that opening alone was so damb inspiring. Thank you!

[@benni_seabra]

@@ThatPedalShowthe what? 😂

[@mike_aiton]

Loved the Guildford gig

[@stephenking6748]

After Mick mentioned the tour, I realised Ariel was 20 minutes from my house tonight, tickets are booked! 👍

[@ThatPedalShow]

Enjoy Stepen. And make sure you stay to the end. Last night's closing song was absolutely un-be-leee-vable.

[@VincVEVO]

This is definitely my favourite show ever guys!!!! 🎉❤😊 My favourite pedal dudes and my favourite guitar interpret. Bingo!!!! Love ya! ❤

[@loganeklund]

“I like the two pickups, three-way selector switch, hardtail…” Sounds like this man just needs a good Tele ;) Thank you for the music, Ariel! Thank you for another great episode, Dan and Mick!

[@hitnorcal]

Ariel is maybe my favorite TPS guest ever. Such an amazing person and player. Mile End was a breath of fresh air for me. Played endlessly through Covid.

[@makingmusiconline2309]

Agreed. Oh and Chris Buck, Andy Timmons, Paul Reed Smith ... and ... damn, pretty much all the TPS guests!

[@ralual]

AHHHH HE’S BACKKKK

[@TheArmedHermit]

Ariel is one of the most tasteful players I’ve ever heard. He has such a knack for putting just the right notes in the right order.

[@famousdavemusic]

Even better than Eric Morecambe.

[@casadealabanzafortworth]

Ariel is not only an extremely gifted guitarist. He also has the singing chops to match.👍

[@TheHowardSinclair]

I was at that gig in Swindon (if it was the Josh Smith gig with Ariel supporting), I got an AP plectrum and a Josh Smith T-Shirt and Album. I concur, Ariel's performance was out of this world, and what hit me most was his singing voice. His guitar playing is stellar, but his voice is something else. It's his understanding of melody that's so special. Everything he does serves the song, and that's the biggest lesson I take from him and others like him. It was a truly special evening.

[@johncrawford2770]

I love how Dan looked like a proud dad as Ariel was demonstrating how he uses a lot of the functions of his board. Great episode!

[@briannacery9939]

Love the idea of exploring what's right for the song. So many times I was overplaying when I should have been listening to how I fit into the mix. Listening to my improvisation on recording alerted me to the listening process.

[@kahlhenderson]

You guys have been talking about Ariel Posen for years and I’ve never bothered to check him out…. I will now. What a beautifully musical player and he appears to be a thoroughly decent human too. What’s not to like. Great interview too.

[@RemiCardona]

Ariel is an amazing guitar player, songwriter, can't stress that enough. Love his stuff. But also check out Brothers Landreth, they've been on TPS a few times and Ariel was once part of the band. Amazing in their own right, Joey Landreth is a monster slide player. If you dig Ariel, I'll bet you'll love Bros Landreth.

[@ellleigh1216]

Ariel has to be one of my favourite players. I don’t actually listen to his music much but I could listen to him noodle for hours. The Anderson’s days with Pete were so great.

[@kyleharcus]

Such a fan of Ariel. Did a course or 2 of his and he has taught me a lot. Great guy. I was also lucky enough to win a competition he did for a signed Broadcast AP a while back... been on my board ever since!!

[@StuartBerry-k4o]

Ariel is a Dude of our times… group of us went to the Thekla gig last night and it was full of musical awesomeness, loved the tip of the hat to Big John 😎🙏

[@cgmxtreme70]

Ariel and TPS…. A match made in heaven and such tone Nirvana.

[@mattrosen5438]

Im lucky enough to have seen him twice in the past 18 months and he is just such an astonishing musician. Killer guitar player, great singer, and super cool guy.

[@KelvinPit-n6u]

Great Show guys and Ariel is just an amazing guitarist who has a very cool style that sets him apart from other players I love it!

[@elliotgreen987]

Rewatching after getting home from his gig in St.Albans, some truly inspirational stuff! I have never been to another gig like it and he's a really nice guy too, we both had our TPS over shirts on!

[@baksteen291]

A canadian, an Aussie and a Brit walk into a guitarshop ... magic No seriously, great video. What an awesome guitar player. Thanks guys!

[@RakelaK67]

Ariel is a gift to music and guitar inspiration. Great video !!!

[@jamesfowler9652]

Absolutely love Ariel, phenomenal live.

[@neilwlevine]

The tone on the Octafuzz with the slide is divine.

[@boabglen]

Loved what he said about not comparing to Instagram players and doing what ever it takes to get your art out. Amazing

[@ToddTheJoker]

As a Fellow Canadian, I am huge fan and follower of Ariel! He is a big influence on me doing my own thing. I love that he is delving into his own style and tone and it is incredibly inspiring! thanks guys!!!

[@stephencohen1173]

Gospel is the right word, and it is wonderful, Ariel. Fantastic to listen to your progression over the years.

[@TobiasTheGiant]

Saw Ariel in Guildford, got tickets for final gig in London. Honestly such a phenomenal show, his bass player was also SO tight, bass tone was tasty.

[@tristanbouchonnet1461]

Man. Is there somebody out there today with such a specific tone ? Such a personal tone ! You know who's playing without seeing it. And man this guy is smart ! Ariel does not do what other guitarists do (on the pedalboard and on the fretboard) ! Such an inspiration for the tone quest we're all on ! Great show guys !

[@johnnymoondog5818]

Makes me proud to be Canadian to hear this kind of talent and enthusiasm.

[@SergioAureo]

Such a privilege to watch this gentleman play. I hope, one of these days, Ariel puts Portugal on his tour map.

[@huntersmith1993]

Not many guitarists inspire me the way Ariel does. And his song writing is just superb.

[@pedaltown]

His name should be Ariel Transposen. Awesome sounds and feel. Really enjoyed this!

[@ThatPedalShow]

You win the internet today!

[@davidlemaitre8256]

Haha this! 🎉😂😂😂😂❤

[@SuperPedalPower]

Brilliant episode! I've seen Ariel live five times (including at the Swindon gig mentioned by Dan) and he's astonishingly good: great songs, amazing voice and killer guitar! Just seen him again in Guildford on his latest tour and he was so, so good, and that guitar tone ... !

[@jasondejong3062]

My goodness🤯 that dude never ceases to amaze me. I don’t know if it’s just the open tuning or what but between him and Joey, the emotion comes through so much clearer for some reason than most guitar players now days. Ariel you are a beast man! Keep up the good work!!!

[@Joeleonard-fy6kr]

Some the best tones and playing I’ve ever heard! I don’t think Ariel realises how much homework he’s set me after watching this episode, great video leg ends as always 👊🏽

[@gavindriver8665]

Further to Dan’s story, Ariel has a great way of bringing the audience in to his performances. A true sonic artist and thoroughly nice bloke!! Fantastic episode, cheers.

[@cowieson]

What an utterly inspiring episode. It’s always such a joy to hear Ariel’s playing and perspective - that section on how he thinks about harmony was a bit mind blowing (and certainly humbling!) Thanks guys!

[@Benz2112]

My absolute favorite player of the last 5-6 years. I am thankful that appearances on TPS and Anderton's channel introduced me to Ariel's talent. I had the chance to see him live and have a chat with him a few years ago, just an absolute musician's musician.

[@bobbyfernandez5715]

Dan, Mick, Ariel. Thank you very very much love everything about that vidéo. I always end up watching Ariel's episode multiple times and this one gonna be no different. Hope to see you in France!

[@sroelit]

Just lovely. Thank you to TPS and Ariel.

[@williamwagnon2809]

Quizzical and aloof!! I love it!! The theory part of this was seriously great and informative!!

[@SeanJWestcott]

What an awesome show, Ariel is so inspiring and talented !! I’ve noticed Dan has a real ‘tell’ when the guest is extra special to him - although all guests are special to Dan, some just more so ;-) He becomes very still, clasps his hands in his lap and is so focused - almost like he is meditating and transported by the talent in the room. It’s Dan and Mick that make the magic, and the guests are the bonus. Cheers !

[@mattiv1]

You see Ariel every here and there with guitar stuff but... I gotta say his songs are amazing. Wow.

[@orpheus3342]

One of the modern greats! My kids will grow up listening to this guy

[@jonpardoe]

The Triads thing that he did with Paul Davids a few months back was so inspirational. Hope everyone here has seen it. Ariel is just such a lovely human 😊

[@rupertlaycockphotography]

I was living in Mile End when I first found Ariel and records I & II are hands down my favourite guitar pieces ever recorded. Kudos

[@jp7963]

I was only vaguely aware of Ariel prior to watching this, I knew he played slide but that's about it. So therefore am very glad you've managed to post this before his tour as I have just got tickets for his Leeds show and am very, very much looking forward to it!

[@snowglobe74]

Met Ariel at his Q&A at the wonderful Soundlounge. Such an entertaining night and a lovely guy.

[@johngraydon506]

Great to see Ariel and especially Mick its been a while..🎉😂❤

[@SongSounder]

Great episode. Ariel and his band were fantastic at Thekla, Bristol. Great to see you there Mick!

[@NikoTsonevGuitar]

Love Ariel's work, well done everyone

[@jrchanning]

Ariel is always a great guest, what a player, his new blue guitar is fantastic 👍🎸😄

[@rileyhunt3987]

That strat is awesome. I feel like he would love a harmony silhouette or something like that

[@phillseagram]

Your Mile End stuff is my absolute favorite, so I can't wait for #3!

[@nicennice]

A songwriter who is so obviously technologically proficient is a rare thing in my admittedly limited experience. Kudos.

[@sasanenadic6128]

Amazing how Ariel's sound reminds me of Ry Cooder. Absolutely love it!

[@willgoodfellow3144]

Managed to catch up with Ariel at his Q+A session in Sutton on Tues. It's been 7 years since hanging out with Ariel for a week on a Guitar Breaks holiday and he still inspires me to become a better guitarist. Thanks for having Ariel on your show.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Will!

[@realgoodmind]

Been wanting to hear more extended stuff with this blue guitar. Love it gents! Thanks to all

[@kanehicks9321]

Good show guys!!Ariel represent!! 🤘🇨🇦👍🤘🇨🇦🎸🎸🇨🇦🤘🤘

[@RadcliffGuitar]

This guy is such a real deal. Dude has some sound all his own.

[@gbarge4]

Amazing. Good friends sure make the world go round. And the sound quality was flawless, well worth the intense effort to make it all right and get the show out in only a few days. One can only hope Ariel's concert attendance feels the love. Really well done, all.

[@plectrummx]

Man, I heard that fuzz an immediately went to look for the pedal… $300… if I knew I could sound like that, I’d consider it. So good. Killer tone. Ariel is great.

[@bruunm1975]

Class player. Class human by all I’ve see and and all accounts.

[@bodenschatz10]

So excited to see Ariel on TPS! And his masterful employment of those glorious Chase Bliss delays...

[@weepingBear]

OMG! I love Ariel’s playing! It’s about time to be back in TPS! Woohoo!!!! Thank you TPS! What a treat for me!!!!

[@toreaasland8085]

I hope he will come to Norway. Love his style, and music.

[@rossstewart9284]

Damn such nice playing, a lovely guy and that Strat is so cool!

[@brodiemaguire7636]

I love my AP2. It's so versatile and makes a killer fuzz.

[@AlexAlexAlexMartin]

What a great musician!!!!

[@Davidthestratman7]

I love how Ariel thinks musicaly. A great combo of theory and color to find the guitar melodies and parts and the fact he's still learning. The exact reason I went to school for theory because I wanted to learn the relationship between every note.... It's intervals, scales within, and find the music

[@andyw6026]

Bloody great - what a wonderful human (and guitarist). Didn't know there was a tour - booked for a gig now though...!

[@TexasJackdaw]

Love Ariel - but miss him playing with the Bros Landreth. Such a nice pairing of pure slide players.

[@orpheus3342]

I didnt understand how much Ariel rides the volume control until now. Same with Chris Buck and all my other favs. Love to see what I need to work into my playing

[@zootallures1]

Love, love, love the intervals discussion! So inspiring!!

[@brianrollins7275]

Great show with 3 great guys. Thanks

[@simonbeasley8107]

Saw you in Guildford on Wed night, thanks for a great gig - masterclass. Songwriter, singer & player, a psalmist.

[@rfpho1456]

Some wise words on learning/ navigating your way through guitar!

[@NoahRichardHarris]

Love Ariel's Music, and the Mile End work. Those are just perfect!

[@marton_ratkai]

14:12 Love how Mick’s face tells it all.

[@Mtn603]

Phew, glad we’re back on! And happy Friday, gang!

[@shamsam4]

Ariel is always amazing. Also, great insight by Dan regarding gospel.

[@alejandromarquez5657]

Learning something new every video I watch from you! Thanks!!

[@leeasbury7273]

That guitar is beautiful

[@andreamarconforreal]

Wow killer sounds! 🔥🔥🔥

[@SingSurfStrum]

This guy walks among us, praise be

[@ForeverChillMan]

Just Wow 🤯Amazing tones, lessons, philosophies, and I'm in love with that Strat looks and p90 setup. Big thanks and kudos to Ariel for sharing all this with all of us so thoughtfully! Great timing as well, finally ordered a Harmonious Monk mk2, and alongside it also have Ariel's signature slide incoming, can't wait to have fun with harmonic trem slide stuff :)

[@rosskoko100]

I'm going to see Ariel tonight in cardiff. Perfect timing for this vid. 😁

[@gejskelly]

Gutted that I won't have moved back to the UK until after the tour is over, definitely on my list for the next time though!

[@ikbogle]

Great show as always guys, what a wonderful human. I had the pleasure to catch him in Dublin earlier in the year, it was unforgettable, so intimate and to witness this man’s talent right up close was just wow. And the band were ace also! Best of Luck AP with the UK tour

[@ElliottCustomLures]

I have to say... I was at the release show for the downtown ep in Denver, and standing at the foot of the stage was an incredible experience, being wrapped up in his sound.

[@paulsimmons8444]

Can’t wait to see him live in Liverpool next week! Great player (and singer too)

[@Telewest792]

There is nothing wrong with a Gospel vibe Dan we could all benefit from a little more gospel in our lives . Great knowledge from Mr Posen its always good when your guests part with a little theory knowledge . Awesome show as usual guys .

[@Its_me_georgie_]

Looking forward to seeing Ariel im Cambridge. Saw him a few years ago in Leicester and he was fantastic 😊

[@darryltolbert8950]

One of my guitar heroes. Saw him in Jacksonville.

[@morais99]

Amazing artist

[@periloustemple8290]

He's so great! This show was amazing and the conversations have inspired me. I am off to make some music!

[@neilwalshuk]

Love this ❤. Tickets booked for tonight 😊

[@urbanwikstrom9246]

Epic show.....! Thanks!

[@mgie22]

Saw Ariel at Salvage Station in Asheville, and not only was he badass but extremely cool and met with everyone after the show. Unfortunately Salvage Station is totally gone now after the hurricane…

[@aljohno72]

See you Friday 😎 Liverpool 😁
