"GROOMED NOODLER" performed by Pete Thorn at the Suhr 2014 Factory Party

[@franckrichard8077]

PeteThorn and RJ Ronquillo are my favorite players right now. They turn a gear demo into a real track that I could hear all day. I know they will never tour in my country (France), but luckily we have all those wonderful videos on you tube, allowing us to know that real players are still out there, without any ChatGPT generated solos but their true soul and skills !

[@ranger5281]

Great song. Tight band. Killer playing by all, but Pete's killin' it! Bravo to the sound and video guys at Suhr for capturing this performance.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Pete thorn is one of the greatest guitarists in my 60yrs,everything is so cleanly played. this dude has a genuine gift of sharing his talent with everyone. I've not seen many in my life that can fully customize a narration. a true asset to the music world.

[@MHoffp57]

Such tasteful phrasing and perfect timing. Pete Thorn is a real pro.

[@blueblueday]

This guy has it all, melody, timing, taste and unmatched creative phrasing. He never makes mistakes! Is he an alien? The great tragedy for me is that he is not a rock star as you would find back in the 1970s! Instead he is a youtube product salesman and tours with cover bands! I'm sure if he was in the right band, before youtube took over, he would've been involved in the creation of some classic songs. I mean, just listen to the hooks in the above tune. It's crying out for a great singer/lyricist to complete it! Pete is a genius of electric guitar. I just wish he'd make albums instead of promoting gear.

[@FerdnandFreeholi]

he's a hired gun and tours around with bands. Who cares about anyone being a "Rock Star"? He's down to earth. Rock stars are all about their ego.

[@Rattenhoofd]

I like how emphatic the bass player is in making contact and creating a comfortable space for the others to reside in. Great mood matching.

[@Geotubest]

This is insanely good. The variation, the phrasing, the changes. He's definitely cultivated the finer points of guitar over his career.

[@greekfreak1980]

His tone/prhasing is just outstanding.

[@timbowers2978]

Pete Thorn and Andy Timmons on the same stage would be sooooo awesome!

[@YoakamAhhSilky]

Tim Bowers Exactly what I was thinking before I scrolled down and saw your comment!

[@pingshanluan8049]

+Tim Bowers That would be melodic heaven.

[@TomMacalisang]

+Tim Bowers don't forget Eric Johnson

[@kinkinmyslinky967]

Holy @!@! I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@beachcomber4141]

This is SERIOUSLY the best guitar jam I have heard in a long time!!!! There is so much that is good here. 3:13

[@smoovegittar]

My only problem is it took this long to find this dude. Mr. Natural. Big Love and Respect!

[@tmitz73]

Dude, Pete..... taking everybody back to school son!!!

[@dougwilson5408]

Great. I love that the stage-right photographer is rocking out through the whole song.

[@DennisHajek]

Discovered him the other night sitting 10 feet in front of him supporting Five for Fighting at Musikfest cafe in Bethlehem, Pa. . Master of his craft and a genius guitar player. I'm 63 and told my wife I got a man crush on this dude. One of the best I've ever heard.

[@1GuitarHack]

What a great guitar player, and composer,,, the band is so tight and the sound is amazing.Happy New Year Pete,to you and your family,from Canada.

[@LAboomR]

I just got Pete’s debut Cd a week ago. I can only listen to streaming in a little powered speaker. Guitar Nerd is an incredible album. Real songs not just an excuse to play guitar. I can’t wait till I can find P.T. 2 on Cd.

[@ToneScavenger]

I was not paying attention to the screen... the whole time I thought this performance was from the album... but it was live. Flawlessly live. Damn! That’s was an incredibly good display of talent!

[@allendean9807]

Probably one of the highest respected, little know players in music. PT is an inspiration to rock players everywhere...

[@beachhunting69]

Agreed. Pete is humble, always trying to help future musicians with advice and inspiration and his guitar work is incredible.

[@edwardovan]

The only problem with hearing Pete Thorn play is that he makes me want to either use my guitars for firewood or go lock myself in a room and practice for 5 years. And I cannot decide which.

[@mostguitarswins]

+edwardovan Yeah, I know the feeling :-) Go with practice. It's great to hear others in the zone.

[@dadude7]

+Most Guitars Wins Good comment! I like guys who really know the instrument. Pete is amazing.

[@kstevegeorge]

Lol - I feel the same way

[@undercrackers56]

Yeah Edwardovan. Maybe we should all form a club and get T-shirts made. This is one of the guitarist I really respect. He does not compromise melody and tone for the sake of showing off technique.

[@ahmed_arsalan]

edwardovan oh my God I feel ya man!!

[@notebender5073]

Just fantastic! I really enjoy his reviews of gear as well. Such a pro.

[@RobertVeasquez]

Just found Mr. Thorn via his OD shootout. Another 'Tone Monster!" This is what people miss only listening to pop music....ACCOMPLISHMENT!

[@jeremyjohnson8844]

Right in the soul. AMAZING musicianship, all of them, most of all Pete's fret fingers! God like.

[@sambitkundu]

Big fan from India. Greetings, Pete Thorn man you are just incredible. Wish to see you live someday

[@mehradsadeghi]

I don't understand why such talent doesn't release more album...

[@chrisscutchfield5379]

As always, Pete is absolutely top shelf🤘🏻

[@mkilner]

Genius playing, got goosebumps on those faster runs, so melodic yet edgy!...Wow!! 😃

[@stepitup5409]

Pete Thorn is simply off the charts!

[@FerdnandFreeholi]

awesome band. Incredible guitarist

[@9thangle]

someone who can play AND write music. such a relief from all the mindless "shredding" on youtube.

[@mrlionel-zd4ze]

Now that's music! LOVE IT! Fantastic player, fantastic tune.

[@bluegroove536]

Beautiful Music! I love the phrasing. This tune takes you on a musical journey which for me is one of the benchmarks of great guitar playing. Not just a bunch of noodling. Thanks Peter!

[@martydibergi5228]

Anything Pete does gets our attention out here in guitar land

[@f.p.6176]

Five years ago I bought the backing track and the tabs to this; I'm still practicing. Give me another five years and maybe I'll be able to play it like him. But I wouldn't bet on it :-)

[@roderickhager8154]

One of the best styles out there! Peter mixes a perfect van satchmo blend to his own style Absolutely kickass!

[@Geotubest]

...and such a nice guy too. Love his Sunday chats.

[@UR2Compliant]

As a long time instrumentalist guitarist myself and even someone who was inspired and studied a bit with Dave Weiner of the Steve Van band, I find Pete a truly inspirational guitarist. Wish I could sit down with him and jam-talk. Dude is pure technical, love and feel.

[@jfrockon]

That amp has such an organic tone... Love your playing Pete. Much success dude.

[@manolitoalmirol1529]

Very professional sound and guitar playing,you're the master...

[@Joesfosterdogs]

WOW...perfect playing...this band is amazing...Pete nailed everything...as good as it gets...

[@jeremyjohnson8844]

The finest ever to exist!

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

So good!

[@l1feson]

High praise coming from you!

[@EoinJahss]

I can listen this song all day

[@Dogsrule777]

The whole band has impeccable tone!

[@allenlocke1935]

WOW! His "Guitar Nerd" release is great too. All the demos of gear he does online have been an excellent resource. Thanks Pete!

[@leddreamzeppelin1]

Peter is just an incredible musician! Love his work and passion!

[@cr5853]

Pete Thorn is brilliant!! I would love to watch him if he ever Toured to India !! Peace!!

[@PeteThorn]

[@borealisnebula2008]

I give five stars ++. Very smooth, some nice discreet parts with highlights on the top. I only wish that I had seen this video sooner.

[@shobhachandra1975]

What’s there not to like. Great as usual

[@TremorBear]

PT you are an incredible monster guitar player! Absolutely Brilliant!

[@bamagtrdude]

can't get this song out of my head; excellent...

[@LAboomR]

Pete, I stream your cds all the time. IMHO they stand up to Passion / Warfair and all other instrumental releases I’m an ole audiophile with a cost as much as a car stereo. PLEASE.❤️ Put those PT 2 and Guitar Nerd in some CDs for your fans

[@emacedo006]

Awesome!!!!All the way....I'm a huge fan from Brazil! Keep up with the great job Pete!

[@PeteThorn]

+Emerson Macedo Thanks Emerson!

[@deependguitar777]

Beautiful playing!!! Have watched so many of his videos!! Love his phrasing!!!

[@sodapop9869]

And who did the incredible mix? Brilliant live performance from every angle. Perfection.

[@donovanduguay9176]

solid and clean...Pete is all class and as precise as one would want to be on guitar.

[@Incountry]

Imagine EVH & SATCH, the sound, the style is a compliment of both but having depth and a easier pace that the played melody is talking to you whilst holding your hand.... You’re one smooth dude Pete Thorn...

[@PeteThorn]

Hey thanks! :)

[@SimonBorro]

I love Pete Thron, his sound, PLEXI style power ! Very good composer too !

[@jeremyjohnson8844]

00:36, the pinky onto the high E there is something to behold.. Great harmonics.

[@vicenteziegler]

[@markfarnham3650]

Great Tune Pete!! You all sound over the top great.

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Inspiring... thanks Pete (& Suhr).

[@westernrider100]

Great phrasing and tone. Would enjoy seeing Pete team up with John Norum from the band Europe. That would be a night of great tone and some tasty playing.

[@pauldaskal9510]

[@sega62s]

Suhr as a great person in Pete as a frontman for the cie, he is not the typical person, he takes the time to think, and has a nice personality. Hopefully you pay him well, cause if I was a amp designer I would steal him from you guys 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

[@adamswitlak1242]

Damn if I had much more money... I would buy the whole set. Great sound.
