Instrumental Blues with Gibson 1959 Les Paul - Gregor Hilden

[@johnq.public1689]

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

[@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

[@joelazzara703]

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

[@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!

[@keun123]

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

[@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;-)

[@joerangel7947]

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

[@rakyaband]

Blues is Easy to Play but Hard to Feel.....and this Man definitely feels and Plays it increible...!

[@stevejewett3650]

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

[@lukaspm123]

The best ever made von an Germain man. Very good..

[@Willsq]

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

[@bluenote335]

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

[@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!

[@edmakan1197]

A great track which I will follow with Barry Levenson's The Late Show.

[@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!

[@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]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@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.

[@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

[@redbird963]

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

[@teomancem2393]

Great tone

[@Slapbass13]

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

[@rainerhofstaetter]

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

[@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!

[@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 !!!!!!!!!!

[@GregsGuitars]

It is a Cry Baby wah wah pedal, thanks for your nice comment. Gregor

[@peterwhitehead3918]

Proper blues

[@GregsGuitars]

It is the wooden 1982 Kitty Hawk Std. Amp with 1 x 12 EV Speaker (kind of a Dumble amp) Cheers, Gregor

[@dawg469]

this is the epitome of tone and taste.

[@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

[@judithhitt6358]

I appreciate the Blues.

[@minenu11]

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

[@robertalleneasleyiii4926]

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

[@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.

[@anarchywon4170]

Real music

[@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.

[@gerardoerak]

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

[@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.

[@jolyonward705]

Is that Joachim Löw!!! lol

[@DeanoPiano]

Very true I agree with IndigoBlu736, that tone is priceless! I have watch this video a number of times now and I cant stop thinking how good that tone sounds at the start, simply wonderful!

[@murfdog19]

That Les Paul appears to be The Bearded Lady.

[@GregsGuitars]

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

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

He's channeling Mike Bloomfield

[@thebigman1974]

i have listen to this so maney times and it is just mind blowing man pure brill

[@sl5932]

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

[@Flavum]

As much as I can appreciate both Fenders and Gibsons, you're right on target. The tone on this clip is absolutely beautiful. Just stunning!

[@liyakjo]

alot better than hiphop shit

[@GregsGuitars]

it is a faded cherry sunburst (heavy faded!)

[@GregsGuitars]

Yes, it was one of the trademarks of this particular guitar. Very individual!

[@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。

[@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

[@DeanoPiano]

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

[@GregsGuitars]

yes it is

[@playmate659]

Making me cry a river Chilling - and Soothing t the same time Thanks for Sharing

[@thebigman1974]

GOD man that is something else and that sax player well that is something else as well pure brill

[@jvmalum]

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

[@joshuaaewallen]

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

[@turockandar]

Was just watching Phil X and all his crazy antics and before getting to sleep I needed to hear something mellow, classy and where ego recedes into the background and then I thought of Greg...and already I am starting to feel much more appeased! So Greg thanks for keeping your music tasteful ...there is so much noise out there! The day you start doing tapping and Yngve style pyrotechnical licks we will form a SWAT team and come over to Germany to take you out!!!! Consider yourself warned:)

[@RodrigoNardoni]

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

[@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!

[@bjrgsolveigchristiansen1866]

Beautiful blues, great guitar an sax!!!! Goodnightblues.....

[@felixrockss]

[@felixrockss]

[@juiellineau]

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

[@SebZoso]

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

[@razorette1]

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

[@virtualcrush]

You can not, simply can NOT get a better sounding guitar. Listen to that CREAM. My god. I have never even been able to see one in person let alone touch one. If I had a time machine the very first thing I would do is go back and buy one and hide it somewhere so it wouldn't be touched until today.

[@Keepthebluesalive1]

Beautiful playing and an amazing sound....Keeping the blues alive, Gregor thank you

[@felixrockss]

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

[@alvarolegal73]

Gregor, I have watched a lot of traditional blues players thru my years. Older ones like walker, bb king, budy guy etc...others from a less older generation as clapton, srv, gary moore, rooben ford, jeff peevar (even prince who plays great blues), and the new ones like john mayer, kenny wane sheppard, joe bonamassa...the list is long....but i must say you are truly among any of those...yo dont over do it and at the same time you cover all that needs to be covered in blues and more....congrats

[@SiKsHreDder666]

love that beautiful sound....gotta love the les paul

[@GregsGuitars]

sounds way different on the original DVD ! The You Tube compression makes the sound different

[@testou34]

yes this sound is a perfect clean soud for blues... and great player too!!

[@jenton70]

Outrageously great tone out of that thing - so crisp!

[@TheSvenien]

Amazing.That.s Blues for all people who loves Blues of Les paul guitar

[@jamesonmoncrief]

Smoother than glass.... awesome Gregor!

[@FriggnDiggn]

Thank you so much for posting this! beautiful playing and awesome audio quality!

[@CrazyGerman08]

that gibson is incredible. i was hooked from the first note

[@ObieCS2]

that is some beautiful fretwork and soulful sax playing too

[@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

[@rmweav11]

His tone is incredible! That Kitty Hawk really sounds great!

[@antondoornekamp9635]

funny how i first started watching greg's video's just to listen to diffrences in guitars. nowaday's i listen to his performances when im driving in my car. keep on doing what you do greg you're the best! 3:31 best sound ever

[@arrelite]

This is music people! this is what all guitar players want to do deep inside!

[@pcools64]

Absolutely Fantastic! Great Greg & Friends!

[@edpelster4795]

Wow I First Seen Gregor While Looking For Guitar For My Son He tests Guitars On Utube And Seen how Good He was What A Great Artist You Can See It In His Face The Love For Music And He Shares The Stage Well Great Job!!!!!!!!!

[@chubbes1]

i like how you can still see the burst from where the bigsby was on

[@koenie17]

Amazing tone, great feel!! great band!! if u ever come to southern spain let me know!! i´ll be there!

[@VoodooChild24]

Great tone and awesome playing. Les Paul rocks.

[@B7aug5]

awesome. Long live the blues, baby. Nice feeling all around by all.

[@vettefret]

Looks like you guys have a lot of fun doing what you love...Life is good...

[@RedthruNthru]

Be still my blues loving heart! Fantastic!

[@playmate659]

Awesome I can listen to this forever Thanks for Sharing

[@Widezilla]

There are some great ideas here; Greg is a great player. I love the phrasing, and the even handed approach to putting one's thoughts across. No panic here, just well thought out stuff, and the creamy tones that your gear provides. Your touch is all over the sound, however...no doubt about that. You have a new fan.

[@erocypsi]

Beautiful Blues, Great feel and tone!

[@Nixx2709]

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

[@detroitMC313]

I'm a rapper, and I would rather go see this in concert than 99% of rappers out there lol. THIS is some good music right here.

[@GregsGuitars]

it is 0.11 - 0.49 (Darco Strings D 9150)

[@Axeslingersrevenge]

I play southern rock blues. It comes from my love of metal and blues

[@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.

[@barkazzaz]

always loved the sax solos..as a guitar player you can learn so mouch melodicly wize.plus they sound awsome! great vid! you do the guitar justice..
