[@Xaychedelic]

He could talk about tech/guitar stuff for a whole hour and it would still be the most calming thing I've ever listened to.

[@LesEXO2012]

Xayide Same! lol

[@khrissiriban8022]

Xayide Oh my! You too!! I knew someone would notice it too!

[@canniloni]

[@m.xnt_]

praise him

[@waffle468]

Twice

[@BenjiOnThaMic]

Facts

[@xeroblade012]

Did it when he started touring with them, and then after Josh left.

[@urmomgayahaha]

There's no doubt josh is like the ace back then in paramore when he left i thought paramore was over but then taylor say hold my fucking beer !

[@danielrivera4651]

Paramore is insanely dependent on Taylor's mad genius alter ego, and people need to praise him more often. A great, creative guy! I love him and H

[@LesEXO2012]

Daniel Rivera Hayley praises him enough for all of us lmao She's his biggest fan I do believe

[@alexandriapluff-dwyer6550]

Mad Genius alter ego i saw it too lol

[@Smsbulgaria]

@@LesEXO2012 I love how they do that for each other and keep each other going.

[@moodysole6533]

@@Smsbulgaria and they're dating now lol

[@WesleyLindsey]

I’m pretty sure Taylor is a mythological creature. Like a rare Pokémon or something. Yep.

[@WesleyLindsey]

This is the only conclusion I could come to after hearing Taylor talk for 8 minutes straight. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

if Taylor were a Pokémon, he'd definitely be a Legendary Bird.

[@alhado]

Deffo a Zapdos.

[@Fredlyy]

A rare Paramon

[@lovelyy6491]

this guy... deserves all the praises

[@SubMotionOfficial]

Really cool to see what he's using these days. Very underrated songwriter/producer!

[@iamkennymartin]

He has consistently great and interesting tones, even as their music has evolved stylistically over the years.

[@jenn8961]

Taylor should create a youtube channel and do paramore songs tutorials

[@riotanitnot]

I'd love to be his notification squad

[@jaysegarcia285]

lohhon I would love for this to happen!

[@LesEXO2012]

lohhon Yes yes yes that would be amazing. I would love to learn how to play some songs and he's so calming and smart, I'm sure he could help a lot of people wanting to learn some things

[@TheMoreTheMary_]

That would change my life for the absolute best

[@air-headedaviator1805]

That would be pretty cool

[@thesilentcartographer5575]

Interesting to note, people assume Taylor joined Paramore in 2007. Which is half true, he did indeed REJOIN them in 2007, but he was also an original member of the band. Before Hayley and Jeremy left their band "The Factory" Josh and Zac Farro, along with Taylor (Taylor being Zac's BFF) and another friend, had started a garage band which ultimately became Paramore after asking Hayley and Jeremy to join. Jeremy being skeptical about the band and it's young members Zac and Taylor, sarcastically stated, "we're gonna play with these kids?" Soon after, for personal reasons, Taylor and their other friend had opted out of the band, but Taylor continued to help create and write new songs and sounds, in doing so wrote Paramore's first ever song "Conspiracy". Due to Taylor leaving the band they were stuck without a Rhythm guitarist so Hayley had asked her "friend" and neighbor at the time, Jason Bynum to fill in as the Rhythm Guitarist with Jeremy leaving the band during the process of making their debut album "All We Know Is Falling". Which was inspired by the loss of their bassist and friend quitting the band.

[@burythecastle4692]

just one more reason to dislike jeremy

[@midnightgee]

No he worked during riot! But he was not still in the band but he became a official member in 2009

[@DaYisus]

i stan the most talented guitarist on earth

[@murfsurff3679]

I’m a huge Paramore fan, but Taylor is definitely not the best. personally, I’d say that title goes to John Mayer

[@leotipping527]

Well I guess they do say john frusciante came from another world

[@johnvafeiadis7111]

a great drinking game. (sorry taylor) Take a shot every time he says “it’s rad”

[@annyx1701]

FUCK! Taylor is beautiful, it's so good to hear your voice and the sound of your guitar. Thank you for being here!!! : D

[@mia-xf3zk]

the taylor content i always needed

[@lucamellere5833]

this guy is a freaking genius. I love him so much and we should appreciate him a lot more

[@punkcrown629]

okay so i'm gonna sound so cheesy but he's LITERALLY ethereal, i have no other word to describe him, he's so passionate about this topic and you can feel it in your deep down soul, i could hear him talk about amps and pedals for days

[@csaszargergo9413]

It's so cool to have a peek behind the scenes like this, because the next time we're on a Paramore show we'll be able to just appreciate what we see even more. Cause we know the history behind. Well done guys!

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Thanks for watching!

[@manu61538]

Next video has to be, “Taylor York: Hair secrets”. I have curly hair like his but can never maintain it that way.

[@diamantisxiii]

I love Taylor. He's completely dreamy, really nice, and has great soul. Big reason the band prevails

[@samuellimademoura7521]

Three years later and I'm still listening Taylor talking about gear. But now I completely understand the last part of this video, when he says "Pedals don't make something good just because they sound cool. It's like they inspire me to do things differently"

[@blessilsabang5670]

You can talk all the time T. Whatever you're talking about is so good.

[@highkey_allpressure]

Wish I knew more about guitars and pedals so I can understand

[@Utube-s8m]

Highkey Allpressure I know this is a year late but I just came across it. It’s guitar talk. Apparently, according to my non guitarist friends, family, and wife we seem to speak a different language. Once you’ve played awhile it all makes sense. My mom before she passed recently. God bless her she used to listen and my dad would say do u understand anything he’s saying re guitars etc and she would say no but it’s easier to pretend I do. She actually did learn a bit though so it turned out she was listening. It’s all pedal talk, pick ups in the guitars which there a ton of different kinds and different sounds, same with the pedals. Tons of different sounds etc. and amp stuff.

[@Frettingfret]

R Chapmannn this is also late but it’s cool your family really digs guitar stuff, rock on 🤟

[@Frettingfret]

R Chapmannn it really is like a different language

[@butternutsquash1]

@@Utube-s8m how do you learn about this stuff? I've played guitar for a while and always wanted to understand this kind of talk but never know where to start. do u have any websites to recommend to start reading?

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

@@butternutsquash1 "that pedal show" on youtube is great for learning about (you guessed it) pedals. other than that, just watching general guitar and amp videos will help.

[@Hikaeme-od3zq]

I'm so glad that he's not one of those that doesn't even know what's going on in their rigs...he truly seems to know his gear.

[@Gwennnnyyyo]

YES THANK YOU FOR FEATURING MY BABY

[@tudor1693]

taylor york's voice is so soothing, i've used this video so many times to fall asleep

[@aaaaaleyna]

he is so precious

[@krei0497]

The way he talks makes you wanna listen more 😌

[@polyukii]

his voice is not the typical soothing deep voice but it's soothing nonetheless. damn i love this man

[@Ohtrisarahtops0]

Nice to see Taylor in the limelight. I absolutely love his passion, intellect, and incredible talent. ❤️🤘🏻

[@emiofnnc]

This guy literally writes the lps instrumentals, fucking genius

[@parapilot]

TAYLORRR

[@boboconnor210]

"Yeah, I'm constantly buying pedals and looking on Reverb and like I'm kind of obsessed with it. I need to start selling things cause I just keep acquiring them and they keep stacking up" Plenty of us watching this know that feel!

[@marge973]

2:24 - 2:35 in love with the tone of his guitar right here

[@christoxicpulse]

Its Mags do you know what the song is called in his section?

[@josephdaviswyeth9459]

Mem pc It’s “that’s what you get”

[@laripetrini7574]

Mem pc the song is that's what you get!!

[@-k-b-]

Never really heard Paramore before, but the tone he's getting is pretty sick. Giving me Deftones vibes (more Chino toned though not like Stef and his 8's XD)

[@bah6604]

Best video of 2018.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

thanks!

[@ruthmartin1371]

It's been too long since Taylor did a gear video! Thanks Earthquaker!!

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

thanks for watching, Ruth!

[@mickeyhynes]

Nice to see someone that hasn't completely gone all Fractals for their touring rigs. Great set up

[@MusiKube_]

There's not enough Taylor interviews/content for me to watch. Love this man so much, beast on guitar and a beast in the studio as evident by how good After Laughter is

[@PaulaILY]

I have no idea what he's talking about but his voice is just so sooooothing

[@issaphae9659]

i just so happened to be watching this on his birthday, who woulda guessed that he went on to produce hayley’s debut solo record

[@hmadden]

who would've thought that they're dating😁❤️

[@Starlet360LP]

we owe most of the new different sounds and music to this guy. I love Taylor ♥

[@TheBivie]

I love Taylor. I just knew I’d like him before I heard him speak. More content please!!

[@ianhakim3072]

what I love about this video is that the intermissions (?) , when they play recordings of Paramore live , instead of dubbing the original song they leave it as it is.

[@oshlyrics685]

TAYLOR IS SO GENIUS!

[@bluvillage]

Taylor is so amazing. Amazing guitarist, producer, artist, and person. He saved paramore from depression. Hopefully paramore never dies but if it ever does, I hope he becomes a very well known producer

[@angelamarie9199]

Help I'm in love with his voice and his face and his brain and his hair HELP

[@elizgrant8805]

in the same mood rn

[@kenzi.swissy]

realest dude

[@siavashmassoudi]

YES FINALLY A RIG RUNDOWN OF TAYLOR

[@usedinternet]

i have no clue what he’s talking about, but it’s so nice to hear him talk. i love how passionate he is about his art, and i’m so glad he saved paramore.

[@punkcrown629]

imagine taylor york being your guitar teacher

[@annf570]

i dont understand what this guy is mainly talking about, but i love to listen to him talking for like an hours or so.

[@karupe9982]

I need him to nerd out more, i could listen to him talk about his craft forever. Maybe when we were teens we did care as much or didnt know as much, now most of the fansom is grown up and we absolutely love the passion and knowledge behind the sound. Makes the live experiences better too, bc you truly appreciate that he is playing live, sometimes we forget, we see a band moving and they are actually building stuff its crazy. I love paramore so much, latinamerica might have a sh*tty economy but i will finally see them live soon, cant wait to see T pressing sttabing, pressing, tapping his set

[@elizgrant8805]

His curly hair, his green eyes, his face, his everything. WHY U HAVE TO BE FUCKING HANDSOME TAYLOR, yeah you,,

[@ffionlowri8569]

I need a video where Taylor talks about all of his guitars he uses on stage and what songs he uses them for as well, as well as why he chose the designs especially with his built guitars cause I’m obsessed with built guitars but I can’t afford them.

[@danserprc]

his voice is so calming i can hear him for hours.

[@saulf9096]

can y’all please make another video of his equipment actually being demonstrated

[@alina-roxanatothazan4712]

It's so sweet and smart to see Taylor talk for so long about some tech and guitar stuff.

[@mariafrancescaparretta7292]

I think I need more of this cool stuff, like a v insightful documentary on the AL era

[@moes_film]

Paramore sounds awesome live and showmanship is great.

[@spawn302]

the tone at 2:26 is immaculate

[@crueldilemma]

Bless this beautiful man

[@isabellafernandez6778]

This has got to be the most I’ve ever heard Taylor talk at one time

[@iii2385]

Taylor’s such an idol and inspiration to me 🤘

Thank you guys for interviewing taylor about guitars. I always wanted to know something about him that he truly cares about..on the lines of his guitars. He deserves all of the guitars plus more

[@Mimiii974]

I came here bc... you know, it’s Taylor York. I now feel the urge to try all the pedals my guitarist friends own. And I don’t know what to think of that...

[@jaysegarcia285]

Emi Lrt Is there any way that you can identify the tunings for a few songs? I'm trying to learn Hate To See Your Heart Break, and I know there's a capo on the 5th fret, i'm just unsure about the exact tuning, considering when he's playing the instrumental towards the end, he begins with an open high E string

[@andie.vasconez]

I can't believe it's been 2 years. I miss him sm

[@catisneko]

same 😢💕

[@Crunchy_Troll]

“Cuz everyone love Kevin” even real recognize real

It's so refreshing and calming to see and hear Taylor just... talk. Especially about something he's passionate about and sort of an expert of. More of this, @FueledByRamen please lol

[@44bobito]

Wow is really orgasmic the feeling of being able to see and hear all the information coming from such a spectacular musician....

He's adorbs. A poodle of pedals. Poodles for armor.

[@martag.4594]

Thank you ! As a guitarist and massive paramore fan, I always wondered what Taylor uses the most and how he works it out.. This helped me a lot to understand his approach to creativity and sound design.

[@tenasenjan54]

His eyes are wonderful and curls just adorable

[@kokoeds]

i may not know what hes talking about but honestly I just find so much enjoyment in hearing him talk about something he's passionate about! i could listen to him talk about paint dry tbh but its nicer when hes talking about something he loves :)

[@LaurenJewel]

I need more videos of taylor like this 😭❤😍

[@alejandrozamora9021]

What use Taylor in his hair? I have the same curly hair but the difference between he and I is that he has awesome hair :"v
