As a professional player myself, I have to say this is a great tutorial. I see so many modern guitar players with a HUGE board of pedals. It's just not necessary. Watch videos of Gary Moore. He is constantly changing his volume and tone positions, and it's very effective.

[@m500987]

Wow, great tutorial. I must admit, I have played guitar many years at home and was/am clueless on really using the tone/volume controls. You have opened a big door of knowledge for me. I am 65 years old...never too late to learn. THANK YOU !

I am blown away by this guy. I have been playing, on and off, more so since my mid twenties. Anyway, I have become a pedal junky since I got my 1982 Les Paul xr-1 back in the early nineties. I have always thought this was the only way to go, and my pride wouldn't let me believe anything else. However, this guy in this video has finally opened my eyes wide to all the money I wasted and how lazy I have grown. I am going to change this from now on. Thanks for that and thanks for the video. I am now a subscriber and proud to be so,

[@johns7483]

This was a very good and understandable presentation, well done! I have been playing since I was eight years old (I'm 70 now, still hammering out tunes), and have been through just about every guitar from before that and since then, but the Les Paul models and a few Telecasters, and of course the inevitable Gibson SG have that special something you can bring out with what you have shown here very well. Cranking up an amp has been the standard way of making sure you get noticed good or bad, and learning that this is not the way to do it took me a long time to learn. You have kindly shared this very good video of how to get your tones and volumes sorted out showed me some things I never knew before this excellent presentation. Thank you so much for bringing these things out for easy understanding and grasping. You truly brought out more incredible tones from an already incredible guitar! Best regards< John.

[@micyboyh]

The best tutorial I've seen in 40 yrs of playing.....this guy really knows his stuff...rock on brother.

[@cgavin1]

Bit of a masterclass with the demo there! Fantastic! This is something that modern players don't really understand sadly. A huge part of the skill with electric guitar, the bit above and beyond touch sensitivity and technique, is managing your controls. In my opinion it is part of learning an instrument, truly getting to know it; as any two Les Pauls will be completely different in each position. The bit about cranking your amp and using your volume especially is how all the great players did it in the 60's and 70's. That 'amazing tone' everyone is chasing with a pedal or a PAF was largely the result of power stage distortion on pre-master volume amps pushing tubes and speakers in to their 'natural habitat'. Its there, just most people never hear it because they're slamming the front end with pedals and throttling their speakers with the master volume knob on 2 or 3. My hero Paul Kossoff was once asked what pedals he used and he just shrugged and said: guitar, lead, amplifier.

[@valmirsantos4499]

Finally, someone who explains how tone & volume knobs impact the tone and feel of a guitar... I'm a beginner guitarist and this is explained nowhere. Not in vids, books, .... I started looking for an explanation after seeing Lee Anderton getting a 'sweet' spot on a LP in his store... I kept wondering about the influence of tone & volume on the sound and stumbled on this video. Great stuff & thanks for the clear examples.

[@AaronB99999]

I'm going to say this is the most important guitar video I've ever watched. I've played electrics for 14 years, and I don't even have a Les Paul. I've been chasing tone with guitars and pedals all that time but my tone was pretty bland. I usually played with my volume on 10 (like an idiot, but no one had ever told me not to), and kept the tone knob pretty high. My very first practice session after watching this video, I was getting really disgusting, thick tones out of both pickups. Again, not with a Les Paul but just my Schecter C-1 with humbuckers. I started picking with my fingers but once I figured out the technique my flatpicking sounded much better too. Thanks so much -- I wished I had watched in 2012 when this was first posted.

[@MikeBurn]

For me there's nothing better to know, that my video/s help other guitar players to be happier players with a better understanding of the capabilities of their guitars. :) And yes, what I said in my video applies also for many other guitar models. Just to be on the safe side I also did a volume/tone-control video for Stratocasters. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYOtmHqcj8aIps0

[@talaniel]

@@MikeBurn Well, I have a Les Paul and this is the video I needed :-) I think it will solve my problem with getting a good sound using my multieffect - I somehow decided to keep the four knobs at full all the time, but I guess it feeds too much treble to my effect (and amp too) and it is hard to get a good sound this way :-) I will start experimenting with the knobs :-) Thanks a lot!

[@jeffro.]

Mike, you play beautifully. Nice lead. Very soulful and emotive. Good vibrato.

[@darcy_blackthorn]

One of the things I learned when I got a les Paul and experimenting with the tone and volume on both pickups is if you roll your tone knobs back to 5 1/2 and the volume knobs back to 8, you will still get the same amount of sustain as if you were to crank all knobs full volume but it rolls of some low end and makes the highs shine more and gives you a sweeter tone that punches through a lot in a mix.

[@Janine.Najarian]

Even after all these years I still think about this video. Thank you for the well worn practical knowledge 🙏❤

[@glassslide]

Just an outstanding overview---really well done, super informative, awesome!

[@rodneykurthancock9196]

Well said & I agree!

[@mickeybravo6702]

Still very much an amateur who plays small gigs, church groups, etc. but I keep in mind something a player said who I was playing along and learning from who was considerably better. Paraphrasing but the gist is this: Whether a volume knob, tone knob, pre amp knob, or pedal, it can be a bit like cooking. Even small changes can adjust the flavor of a dish quite significantly while large changes drastically so; too much and the dish is inedible, but not enough and the dish is bland. Every dish is different in the kind of salt, spice, texture, etc that create a beautiful blend of all those characteristics, and the best chefs are the ones who learn where “just right” is for each dish. That was his analogy on how to use those controls, and I’ve learned that learning first how to control volume and tone through my fretting/picking hands and through the guitar volume/tone knobs, then the preamp controls, can pay dividends and often may be the only thing you need, particularly for the typical before-preamp type pedals like boost and distortion.

[@VichoBandido]

You rock sir! The information you present is just eye opening and refreshing. I feel you have provided me with a good dose of "Less is More", and "learn to use your electric guitar, not just play it" - I have never heard such insights from any one else. Thank you - much appreciated.

walthamstowman Feedback like yours is the reason why I did the knob-tutorial. The earlier you discover how to form sensible nuances with your fingers and the powerful on-board-tools of your electric guitar, the more articulate your playing will be.

[@vinnyc5300]

I'm just a fan of classic tools of the trade. I don't even play but appreciate the Les Paul. Your video demonstrating was amazing how the sound changes without distortion boxes and all I wanted to know was how the knobs worked. Well done.

Thank you SO much, Mike! I am new to guitar. I have been learning on acoustic and have always wanted an SG. So, I got one. And I had (past tense) NO CLUE what to do with the switch and the knobs! This video is exactly what I've been looking for for quite a while! Thank you so much!

Thanks my friend! I have never understood how to properly use the push / pull pots on my Les Paul correctly to achieve the tones you describe here.

I've been playing Les Paul's for about 40 years, and yours is the best explanation/demonstration i've seen on how to get a wide range of tones out of your guitar, and to explain WHY you can get those tones. Excellent video!

[@jobsgarage]

Spot on, it's amazing how many guitarists overlook these simple things, lost in a sea of midi preamps, digital pedalboards, rack effects and stompboxes and whatnot. Also, this is a good method to test for a good preamp (crappy ones will not allow to get a totally clean sound by just lowering the volume on the guitar from a gainy setting) and the reason one should always play with quality gear, and develop right hand dynamics with practice.

[@pyro-millie5533]

Hell yeah man! I’ve been playing acoustic for years, and am starting to learn electric. I just got a really nice Les Paul as a gift but I’m stuck with a shitty amp. I’ve always wanted to learn what effect the knobs can have and this changes everything!

Before seeing this video, I played around with a friends LP for the first time tonight. (usually only Strats here) I had no idea which knobs were what on the LP. After a few hours I figured that out, but also how an LP has so many cool variations from the guitar itself. Came home and googled LP and tone knob vids. Yours came up first. You hit my suspecting nail on the head. I'm now an LP convert. Playing 'Brothers In Arms' and 'Still Got the Blues' ... all these years on a Strat just hasn't felt right. Cool video. Thanks.

[@JIMJAMSC]

I have played guitar since age 14 till today at 53 so almost 40 yrs. I never used volume or tone until maybe the last 5 years. Always rolled to 10. I relied on pick dynamics and how hard I dug in. The only reason I started fiddling with them was I bought a few Strats and Teles and backed off on the treble and volume on rigs set up for humbuckers. A Bonamassa video simular to yours has me experimenting. Never to late.

[@sotsubreivaj]

That was a great video!! Thanks!! I actually came here because I've just gotten my first Les Paul guitar and I was having problems using the knobs. This video helped me a lot.

[@MikeBurn]

Congrats and have fun exploring the sonic capabilities of a Les Paul! ;) :)

[@Spartanm333]

Two important things to pull from the video, the Les Paul guitar works best with a decent quality valve amp with some gain. Valve amps are typically more powerful so a 30 watt and up should work well. I use a Marshall DSL 40 Vintage which aims towards providing 60s style tone, accepted with modern components ( although I've replaced the valves for better ones). The second point made so well here is that the tone and volume change the shape of the sound dependent on their position and in relationship to each other I.e. It doesnt just raise the volume like on some guitars, it takes the LP towards a more raucous overdrive. Going the other way you can get a mellow almost 335 jazz tone ala Larry Carlton. On top of this you can blend the two pickups by rolling off the volume on one or other, toggle in the middle. I am learning that this guitar is quite incredible and need I say it the pedals are going. I add a little reverb ( the DSLs is fine) and then have a TSDX set to TS9 on the mode and use the level control to pre- amp a little ( drive / crunch off, tone neutral) and a Dunlop Wah for certain songs. That's it. All you need to gig and light to travel. Thanks again for the video. Appreciated.

[@socialdef3]

Thanks what a great video, beautiful guitar, excellent playing and good as gold advice.

[@shader26]

Nice job Mike! It was not boring. I always felt too that the middle position was a gold mine for balance of tone. I used to, in the early days do more with volume and tone, then got into the habit of dining everything, playing with volume only to rythm or solo. When I started seeing people like Warren Haynes who I admire so much as a guitarist, at least at some point he seemed almost obsessively making small or medium adjustments while playing, even during solo (as you did) for sections, or even single notes in a solo. It made me realize how much it matters. Then too, I always played around with guitars and as a new guitarist found out how much you can affect tone by where your right hand hits the strings. Down by the bridge you can get a sitar like sound, middle is normal, way up around the 14th fret or so a “bubbly” tone. On any guitar, even acoustic. I think though these adjustments have to become second nature. I mean most of us have our hands (or minds) full just trying to play well, with our hands, so it has to be integrated into our playing, as you mention, by practice to make it “natural” and not take out heads and minds out of the phrasing and notes we are playing.

[@watchsymposium]

This is probably one of the best, and most useful, guitar video I've seen in a long time. I love this back-to-the-basics stuff - very useful. Thanks!

[@buzzsears2588]

Mike.... Danke, Danke, Danke.... I came across your KZbin presentation on using the Tone and Volume knobs while searching why my 1996 Guild/DeArmond Les Paul model was acting strange when the selector switch was set in the middle and I wasn't getting any sound. Turns out I did not know that if you had one of the volume knobs either the neck of the bridge set to zero, all sound was turned off. (well I figured that out) But what I really appreciated in this video of yours was how to fine tune my Les Paul for a warm jazz sound using both pickups.

[@TheRayfield77]

I'm hearing searching for basic info using the exact same year model. 96 Les Paul Standard. How bout that lol.

[@christophermdidonna5661]

My first guitar was an old Gibson Melody Maker, double cutaway with a single bridge pickup, along with an old Haynes Jazz King Amp I learned early on about tone by using the tone and volume knobs. But more importantly, learning that you can get all kinds of different tone depending on where you strummed, strumming agressively closer to the bridge etc.

[@Blaydrnnnr]

I've had and still have a crap load of guitars, but FINALLY found a Les Paul I love. After 45 years of playing, I've just never fell head over heels for a Les Paul until about 3 years ago. Fell absolutely in love with a custom shop VOS R8. But didn't have the disposable cash for it at the time. Well,another one just found its way into my local guitar shop, it was gorgeous, played just as the first one I wanted did, and the money was right this time, so its now mine. BUT, I had a hard time figuring the middle position on the switch. On all my other guitars, ( especially my Gretsch's ) the middle switch gives you both pickups, and full control on each. On the R8, it works so.... weird to me. Turn either one volume down, you loose both pick ups. I thought the darn thing was broke..LOL. just alittle getting used to. Thanks for the vid.

[@roxyroo7042]

I really like this. Will certainly start trying this more. I’m guilty of rolling it all on to 10, and ..well…that’s it. I need more of this! Here is the question: when turning the volume down to effect the tone, are you not also dropping your volume…so..people can’t hear you over the other band members? Feels like I’m missing something here.?

[@MikeBurn]

Think about your right hand to compensate through dynamics! The harder you hit the string, the louder the volume, isn't it? Sometimes, depending on the amp's setting, only a small increase in force when hitting the strings can make a dramatic difference.
