'I'm finding it quite difficult'..yeah sounded like it.Pure gold this..

[@JC_Walker]

These lessons are the best kept secret of KZbin in my opinion. You’re playing is so beautiful I thank you for sharing some knowledge with us

[@PPIMV]

Thanks JC_Walker - much appreciated!

[@zebedefernandez]

Still the tastiest intro on KZbin! Really looking forward to more of these Simon. Delicious playing.

[@gabepurpur]

Simon, I started watching your channel to check out your pedals but now I watch just to hear you play. Absolutely one of my favorite guitar players now.

[@PPIMV]

Wow - thanks so much Gabe!

[@Lerock2013]

omg the best tone ever :0

[@PPIMV]

Well, not ever....but that's very kind of you to say so in any case!

[@bvs5164]

Just found the channel via TPShow, outstanding player/teacher.

[@Sammywhat]

After hearing you play a number of times over at That Pedal Show, I must say how delighted I am that you have a "tips and tricks" series - LOVE your style and techniques kind sir. Absolutely stellar phrasing and harmonies. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This is dearly appreciated!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much Sammywhat - very happy to hear that you are getting something from my LTT videos...and I appreciate your kind words!

[@dantebrent3726]

More tips and tricks!!!

[@zebfernandez]

Cannot wait for more!

[@TheBeriking]

Thank you again Simon! Magical playing, fabulous tone and touch. Incredible session, so many valuable concepts shared with such humble delivery. You sir are a gift!

[@PPIMV]

Appreciate the positive feedback Ran - very kind!

[@liontone]

No wonder Kingsley stuff sounds amazing! Their beta-tester is a killer player! Haha. Very useful stuff.

[@godbyone]

He is the best builder /musician in history Fact. Most Builder s are decent but very very few are even. B players. But this guy is Aplus

[@dantebrent3726]

More lessons!!

[@anomalousresult]

Thanks for sharing Simon.

[@Rickprone]

I love your amps, pedals, and instructional videos. Thank you Simon!

[@robinsearles5771]

That tone is worth a King's ransom. Beautiful improvisation, Simon! Your phrasing and touch are some of the best I've ever heard.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks!

[@jaimenegrao]

3200 odd views…what’s wrong with guitarist out there? Maybe like me…only discovered Simon recently and that through TPS. You are an amazing player, your sense of touch and tone is amazing and translates into your pedals. The Juggler is just insane, man what a pedal. I will be hunting for one as of today. Maybe I will get lucky and get a second hand one somewhere online. I’m based in Africa so our currency pushes the prices out of range for the normal muso. You deserve millions of views. Listening as I write….you rock. Know that I will be punting your stuff on the continent. Africa loves you😊. Keep inspiring us with your amazing playing and awesome pedals. So humble and straight …..Take care Jaime (Soul Taxi sa).

[@PPIMV]

Wow - thank you so much for your very kind words - very much appreciated...I am flattered!

[@billbfoot]

“It’s a work in progress… like everything.” Words to live by. Clearly, an essential idea that guides so much of what you do, Simon. Thanks for your work, outreach, and inspiration!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much Bill for your thoughtful words!

[@benkoblues1]

Thank you the very helpful lesson! You are a so great gutarist and teacher and engineer!🙏

[@andrewkratz226]

Tone and playing are just incredible Love these video’s for the information as well as pure enjoyment- You are seriously one of my favorite players. Thanks for sharing

[@PPIMV]

Glad you are getting something from the videos Andrew - thanks very much or the positive feedback!

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

"LTT4"...aka "Simon reveals his Ninja use of stealth finger pickin'." This is solid gold stuff, Simon. Two things I've observed in two of the greatest guitarists I know (Tommy Emmanuel and John Jorgenson) is the generosity and humility with which they share their abundant knowledge, experience, and skill. I'm delighted say that the same is true of you. I came for the pre-amps, but your playing is now, for me, the main attraction. Thanks for everything you do. 😎

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Vito! Half the fun is talking about all this stuff. Your kind and thoughtful responses are very much appreciated!

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

@@PPIMV ​- Thanks for your reply Simon. I've been devouring your preamp demo videos, and so far it appears that the Constable, v2 has what I'm looking for...plus a Hatchet. The phase inverter is intriguing, so I''ve been doing some research on it, and I have some questions. This probably isn't the best venue for a techtalk nerdfest, so I'll be sending you an email soon. I do agree that talking about it is a load of fun! - Vito 😎

[@jasfiona]

Hi Simon Your opening sequence and statement I think perhaps both catches a glimpse of your playing who you are. Zero ego, wonderfully humble teacher, with an amazing touch and a truly inspirational gift of communication. I probably shouldn't say I love you per se, but I think I can say that I love your beautiful playing and the way you explain things. Every time I see you on TPS, it's just the best thing and I watch them again and again. Then I often just listen to them whilst I'm walking to absorb myself in both the technical side of the tone and the amazingly melodic style to understand a bit more of the whole picture. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️. PS I think a collaboration of you and Paul Stafford Cook would be so, so good for you two and all of us.

[@PPIMV]

Thank you so much for your very kind words jasfiona - I'm sure I am not worthy! Yes, Paul Stafford Cook is a great player - love his touch and tone!

[@jasfiona]

@@PPIMV He's just said the same thing about you!

[@southpaw335]

Honestly there is weeks worth of material for me to dig into here… Simon your touch and tone is impeccable. Thank you again for these videos.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks - glad there is stuff in there that you can get something out of!

[@retinamusic]

Simon, you are so incredibly talented, humble, and an excellent teacher. Thank you for all you do!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks so much David!

[@stevehood418]

Sweet, sweet music

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Steve!

[@jamesprice6381]

Very nice. One thing for sure. Thaz L Carltons sound. No denying! Its Great!

[@Metal_Fishing_420]

So smooth, I never get tired of listening to you play brother. Cheers!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Ken - been too long since I heard you play!

[@Metal_Fishing_420]

@@PPIMV I'm not sure how impressed you would be, but would be an honour to jam with you one day. I like high gain, but i am far from a shredder. Id rather hand you my guitars and see what they're supposed to sound like! ha ha!

[@MichaTulik]

Killer playing and oh man.. this tone !

[@PPIMV]

Appreciate that Michal!

[@mikemorgan4774]

"There's a lot going on there". No truer words were ever spoken. You lost me at Ab13. I hope your playing gives you as much joy as it gives me.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Mike - it's all about music in the end...labels are just labels...a way to try and communicate, but the true communication comes from the music itself (hopefully!)

[@mikemorgan4774]

@@PPIMV Well, your music certainly speaks, as if you write poetry with your hands. Well done Sir.

[@macrossgeorge]

Beautiful playing Simon. Thank you for the lessons! Very helpful

[@PPIMV]

You are most welcome - hope all is good!

[@dantebrent3726]

My new favorite guitarist great tone and feel i found out about you from that pedal show and been watching your channel since thanks

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Dante - glad you are liking the videos!

[@latchodives]

« I can try playing just arpeggios but it won’t be so musical » Proceeds to play something i wouldn’t dream playing :) Love this format of videos! Thanks a lot for sharing with us !

[@PPIMV]

Thanks for commenting!

[@AndrewChengGuitar]

Great playing Simon! Love the sound of your touch on the instrument!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Andrew!

[@zebfernandez]

So inspiring mate!! Effortless and flawless lyrical playing. I really love your dark, melodic minor lines - my favourite. Simply Stella! Regards from Melbourne, Aus.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Zeb! Yes I love melodic minor...such rich textures and harmony within that scale...

[@alexandrepalet9601]

Wow! Very Robben Fordy but with better tone. Awesome, congrats and thank u!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Alexandre!

[@ianbrown7089]

I've seen many of the great guitarists and Simon is in there. Amazing player and musician also a great person. Thanks for the videos Simon they are very much appreciated.

[@PPIMV]

You are too kind....and how much do I owe you?

[@eel3425]

Yes, so good, a dose of inspiration ahead of the weekend. Thanks and cheers!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@tonyred520]

Man what a great player..

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Peter!

[@AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

Oh my, this is quality stuff. Thank you 😊

[@PPIMV]

Thanks for saying so - much appreciated!

[@Alltherightmoves421]

Fantastic playing 😊 Some very useful information to boot Thank you 🙏 I'm looking forward to working some of this into my playing

[@PPIMV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brouhaharecordsgroup]

Great stuff once again, Simon! Inspiring...

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Andreas!

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

10:05 "...sticking to the arpeggios...won't be so musical..." ...and then he proceeds to stick the arpeggios, but it comes out musical anyway, just because Simon doesn't know how to NOT be musical. (heh) 😎

[@RiperSnifle]

Hi Simon, I see the ox box over in the corner - what’s your recording setup if I can ask? Cheers. Great playing and tone as always

[@PPIMV]

Actually I am not using the OX here...I have an SM57 on one amp and a Royer R121 on another amp, then into my interface and logic...that's it. Plus I run a bunch of pedals for everything else.

[@72sidler]

Could the Lydian b7 scale also be considered Lydian dominant?

[@PPIMV]

Yes, it is the same scale...

[@alguitarchristie]

Another great lesson Simon, thanks! Which pedal are you using? I'm tried of the sounds of my overdrives and just bought the Kaluna which is awesome, but I'm really digging hearing people like TPS Dan playing the Paige, was that in the mix here?

[@PPIMV]

I am using the Kingsley Juggler V3 preamp into two power amps..then a touch of spring reverb and a Pigtronix Echolution delay.

[@alguitarchristie]

@@PPIMV it's really difficult to choose one of your pedals! I want them all!!!! :)

[@jackgraham8620]

Simon You only have two pedals, what do you use?

[@PPIMV]

As in I can only choose 2? In that case the Kingsley Juggler V3 and a delay (have to think about that one)...

[@hlyangel1]

@@PPIMV You just sold another Jugular with that answer🤣 I love my Constable, Minstrel and Page. They are more than I have hoped for in a pre amp and drive pedal in years!
