Instrumental Blues with Gibson 1959 Les Paul - Gregor Hilden

Performed by Gregor Hilden & Band at the B & W Blues Festival feat. Tommy Schneller on sax. Gregor Hilden plays a original 1959er Gibson Les Paul Std. sunburst. The Amp is a 1982 Kitty Hawk Std. Amp (the one with the wooden cab). The other amps on the stage belongs to the other Bands who played on this festival the same night.
No pedal used, but the cry baby wah. The overdrive is from the Kitty Hawk Std. Amp only (at 3:53 the lead-channel from the amp). This early Kitty hawk Amp is made very similar to the silverface Dumble Overdrive Special

Love LP's without the distortion. They sound great clean.

[@Klaus312]

Yes nobody tells you that but they do sound great clean and nice for jazz too

[@caesaraugustus792]

Amen, my brother!

[@grantsmythe8625]

Yes.

[@SmelOdies]

Agreed, but which guitar doesn’t sound good clean? Hehe. The single coil ones sound good clean just in a different way.

[@davidallen346]

That's how you can tell a great electric guitar sounds in the clean setting

[@joelazzara703]

And that my friends is the definition of “The Blues” absolutely gorgeous in every way and such talented musicians.

[@joerangel7947]

That’s the best sound of a les Paul. Clean !

[@bluesont]

I've been playing for 45 years (Blues , Rock and Jazz (guitar)) and this kid is a master of the subtle Blues!!!!!!! Not many blues players have this kind of melodic sensibility. Rock on kid. :D

[@Willsq]

Brought a massive smile to my face - especially where they talked to each other through their instruments. So so good.

[@keun123]

this guy know how to properly handle a les paul. les paul clean tone is amazing.

[@stevejewett3650]

That guitar in Gregor's hands...a perfect match.

[@caesaraugustus792]

I don't know...everytime I want to listen to the pure sound of Les Paul, I choose this video

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

I definitely grabbed a cold glass of whisky sat down on my lazy boy chair. I put on my headphones. I am in heaven.

[@richardmiles9834]

Just got a new wireless headphone ---right there with you!

[@holmes1978]

That was just excellent Gregor "WOW" looks like a great bunch of cats lol ,love the sound and would make Mr. Les Paul dam proud !!! Perfect !!!!!!!!!!

[@Slapbass13]

I could listen to this all day. That Les Paul's tone is phenominal.

[@bluenote335]

This is hands down the best modern day blues performance I have ever seen and I've seen hundreds. Bless your souls!

[@peterwhitehead3918]

Proper blues

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Best. Les. Paul. Tone. Ever.

[@rayray-yw5tx]

Dang that is sure one sweet tone. 😀👍🏽

[@rhoff7272]

Amazing performance, crazy when the guitar year is listed ahead of the great musician playing it!

[@weeksie89]

At 13, the unbeatable magic of the Beatles, the trills, two handed tapping and pinch harmonics of metal, and the emotion filled solos of slash have all attracted me no end, and each successive style I play, as I play every day, in any free time, reflects my current mood. I was shredding today, as I had just set up my LP and was chuffed with its sound through a Vox tube amp. However the blues has emotion all of its own, and I have spent two hour straight periods playing to a blues loop, no end t

[@rainerhofstaetter]

Hi Gregor, super Sound und tolle Solis, einfach schön.

[@dawg469]

this is the epitome of tone and taste.

[@zmojobluesman980]

I'm Stone to The Bone, with Gregor Hilden & Tommy Schneller Harmonization. I Feel the Blues Running Down My Veins, it's a Cold Cold Feeling.

[@minenu11]

I must have watched this 100 times. It's pure.

[@hopebrowning6300]

Wow listen to that sweet neck pickup

[@promoted738]

Guitar sounds like a million bucks - oh - it IS a million bucks!

[@mang3139]

lmao

[@cgavin1]

If you work real hard, your kids work real, real, real hard then your grand kids might be able to see one in a glass box somewhere 100 years from now. Unlikely though. They'll all be in bank vaults.

[@ronnyyulianto8553]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@felixrockss]

I listened to this like 10009809218129821 times and i still fucking feeel that great blues !! Wow thats music !! Keep the blues alive !!!

[@DoYaLike69]

now i can just close my eyes and listen to it over and over. that's a way better than being high on drugs

[@teomancem2393]

Great tone

[@robertalleneasleyiii4926]

You Tube has been hiding this from me for 13 years!!! 2020

[@moseseseseses]

This whole group is in such sync together. Love the groove of these dudes flowing together. The sax player is just bad. He can down out right tell the news on his horn. I could listen to him play all night, and the lead guitar player is just so smooth and easy with his flow. This whole group has it going on. Grate sound, and dig it how the guitar player and sax player flow together. Boy, just love that sax player. He is super cool, and I mean super cool.

[@RodrigoNardoni]

never tired of listening to you greg !! fenomenal !!!!!!!

[@judithhitt6358]

I appreciate the Blues.

[@detike14]

229 people are looking for blues music and gives this video a thumbs down... Can somebody explain this?

[@fuerLutzi]

1.5 million views. It's just common background noise.

[@detike14]

Good one

[@ArmadilloMan1948]

This gives a really good example of why the '59 Paul is so sought after. Wow, what incredible tone. Thanks to Gregor for using it so masterfully. Well done, sir.

[@FearlessSpinner]

Herr Hilden,es ist kaum zu fassen wie schön sie diese Paula spielen.Ich als noch recht junger Blues Gitarrist bin total begeistert! Danke für die schöne musik!

[@anarchywon4170]

Real music

[@jolyonward705]

Is that Joachim Löw!!! lol

[@GermanRewery]

Unter Favorit gespeichert! 5 Sterne! Freue mich auf jeden Tag den ich Zeit habe um es wieder zu hören! Wer genau hinhört! Merkt das man bis zum Ende des Stückes scheinbar im Leben noch nie ein Problem hatte! Danke!

[@IncompleteAction]

This is what Les Paul is created for. Excellent perfomance.

[@gerardoerak]

In a sense, Mr. Gregor Hilden guitar tone reminds me of Mr. Peter Green´s.

[@murfdog19]

That Les Paul appears to be The Bearded Lady.

[@juiellineau]

I just found this guy from an Epiphone ad and am loving his sound!

[@minenu11]

I must have listened to this 100 times!!

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

He's channeling Mike Bloomfield

[@sl5932]

hmmmm.... the les paul sure sounds good.

[@DanielStuart94]

gregor hilden has one of the most vocal guitar styles ever, more so than a lot of voices.

[@SebZoso]

I absolutely love this. Hilden is such a great player. Such a precise player aswell. 10/10

[@liyakjo]

alot better than hiphop shit

[@Nixx2709]

Love the way the sax speaks right back to the equally great guitar

[@felixrockss]

i am OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO WOW SO AMAZING GREG AND TOMMY

[@razorette1]

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Gibson Les paul std. '59!!!! with Gregor Hilden. Well awesome tone and awesome playing.

[@DeanoPiano]

One of the nicest guitar tones I have ever heard, fantastic

[@Howardsend88]

That makes two of us at least, I am years and I mean years trying to listen to /play guitar and have all top name guitars, and 1000 plus CD's .without doubt this is finest sound ever , those first couple of note, incredible

[@joshuaaewallen]

That is just sooo cool. It just doesn't get any more soulful than that.

[@jamesonmoncrief]

Smoother than glass.... awesome Gregor!

[@sherwoodforest4]

I love it when music can really speak to me. Thanks much! :)

[@jvmalum]

I was thinking about the same but wouldn't be surprised maybe 3 million or more. It is without a doubt Iconic.

[@SaintFredrocks]

I don't understand why so many of the kids think you have to put as many notes into a beat as is possible to be good. Feeling and space make a guitar really sing and talk. This guy is pretty good at it.

[@redbird963]

Glad to see someone is actually playing(it's original purpose) one of these fine instruments and not just putting it on display.

[@N0M4D88]

This is simply the most incredible guitar sound i've ever heard, it's pure, it's almost acoustic for an electric guitar, Gibson Les Paul '59 are trully what it's all about;-)

[@Lemke68]

i saw one at a guitar store they wanted so much, i litterally was so happy just looking at it, being so close to one, im jealous of this guys guitar

[@quiddz]

I think I watch this vid at least once a day... it just sounds so great. I mean, Gregor nailed down the right tone... the band is tight, and the Sax player sounds fantastic also.

[@gonzg-style-org1054]

相当昔にこの動画を見て当時もかっこいいと思ったが、今見てもかっこいい。 レスポールの音が甘すぎる！こんな素晴らしい音に包まれるようなライブがまた出来る様になれたらいいな。

[@rogerhoman8442]

[@Slugg-O]

You dance to country, chill to jazz, party to rock, but blues is a feeling you either get or you don't. I guess 147 people don't.

[@amoferia]

Great job, loved the Sax!

[@DeanoPiano]

I have watched and listened a lot of Blues and guitar playing here on KZbin but this tone and recording is very well done! let alone the great talent by the musicians, its just great to listen to!
