PER NILSSON picks up a LES PAUL at the 2016 Freak Guitar Camp

[@xsited1]

One of the best guitarists in the world today.

[@jonasmartinsen3439]

What a joke

[@Hiergibtesnixzusehen]

@@jonasmartinsen3439 I see no joke here

[@thegatesofsleep]

1:23 ah the joys of playing a new guitar and the learning curve of the bends of said guitar. Great save though lol. I would have dumped it in the gutter trying to recover from that haha.

[@chhau123]

his voicing is crazy good

[@iteletnap]

Perminator killin' it. Amazing sound and playing, man.

[@kisstagals]

This guy can play...... Exactly the way I want it to be

[@yamitanomura]

1:03 Back to the Future !! I love it

[@brandon5pennies]

“The neck is so thick. Is it a guitar? Is it a baseball bat?” *proceeds to play Top Gun theme.

[@DangerousGuitarist]

The Back To The Future score is so iconic!

[@rpmarts]

Mr. Per Nilsson, good sir, can you tell me what you are playing around 2:20?? Thanks :) Btw, excellent nerd themes choice

[@MICKSHRED]

Loved that short lor of the rings bit right before Jurassic park theme

[@jonjones3958]

You need to play a Les Paul more often ;)

[@RajorshiBhattacharyya]

That's some beautiful soloing.

[@JonYadonJr]

HAHAHA! LOVE the Top Gun theme!! You da man, Per!!! :-)

[@TownCryer8]

[@Dibulok]

Vackert Per, du e grym!! :)

[@billbeverly2452]

Who are the 6 assholes who thumbs downed this video? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@corrupted650]

amazing

[@HirenSaravanaMusic]

Top Gun and Jurassic Park... interesting haha

[@JakobStrand]

And Flintstones :D

[@recipoldinasty]

Hiren Saravana simpsons

[@paulinethepope]

Hey. Could you please make a video of you playing the solo from Hannes Grossmans Radial Covenant Pt 1. and Pt 2.

[@PatrickAuri]

Känner du till Silvagunner? En KZbin-channel som lägger ut videoer med videospelmusik och bytte ut melodiene med Flintstones og Simpsons-temaene. I alla fall fantastiskt bra spelat! (Ursäkta min svenska, jag är norska :p)

[@SpencerAGuitar]

Awesome, what are you playing at 2:10? or is that just random

[@lakraki7916]

SpencerAGuitar i would love to know this too

[@Jazga]

Help us Per! Where is this from? Or is it just an awesome improvisation?

[@ericnicolleau4331]

I think it's a Pat Metheny song

[@krispynachos9980]

lol dat Top Gun theme song! You can give the man a Hello Kitty Guitar and would still make it sound amazing

[@krispynachos9980]

@Piotr Gołacki you missed the point. What I mean is he could play any cheap guitar and he would make it scream. The Les Paul has nothing to do with it

[@vsopowered6477]

hope you chucked that thing out the windows after and showed them what a real guitar looks like!

[@Aaronmac404]

What's the small tidbit of a song at the very end played with your signature guitar? Sounded pretty good for a couple of seconds!

[@satingrizzly8954]

You just proved a very important point that many don't realize. a Tone is in the hands. if you can play then you can, make a pawn shop Hondo guitar sound good. that's not to say that having a really nice guitar won't help you get a better sound, just saying someone like yourself is a beast on any guitar you pickup.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Mark Jackson Cool, so if i practice i can play death metal through a fender amp

[@GG-ow3ke]

@@fredriksvard2603 Exactly.

[@Flornmonk]

Vilken låt är det du spelar vid 2:15?

[@ELECTRICSCARS]

i think it's from Jurassic Park

[@Melliv0ra]

Per, do you know the specs of that particular Les Paul, since you dug it? Cheers!

[@AndersMoren]

It's a 1958 Custom reissue lightly aged :)

[@kisstagals]

Finally someone I understand rather than over hype Guthrie govan doing extreme technique which get bored after 2 min......

[@DCJayhawk57]

Turning a Les Paul into a saxophone.

[@Moogentro]

3:12 sick dood

[@spudsicle1]

Is there a tab anywhere for the version of Jurassic park you play in this video?

[@michelarnet7726]

The master masters the instrument within seconds. Very interesting! 🙌

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

This isn't the first time he's played a guitar haha...

[@GG-ow3ke]

@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE But THIS guitar.

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

@@GG-ow3ke If it's an well setup guitar, then you are going to play well on it. If not - then you're in trouble haha...

[@tomasengstrom6362]

YES! Switch to Gibson more... :D

[@Mjolnir125]

Did you happen to try any Rush songs on that Les Paul?

[@AA-uw9om]

Yo per can I have ur beard I'll pay Ya 20 bucks mannn

[@tonalblasphemy6879]

That Les Paul sounded FAT! Your strandberg had waaaaaay better tone however.

[@ZFlyingVLover]

Ok Per is a master BUT does he have to look like a gnome?! Sheesh. At least if he's gonna grow a beard out then wear a guru's cloth and look like a guy who sits atop a mountain peak to dispense guitar wisdom. lmao. He needs a girlfriend

[@ScarGuitar]

Aesthetic considerations aside, Swedish winters do get hella-cold for which a warming beard increases chances of survival! I could consider getting a girlfriend but I'm not sure my wife would approve

[@ReGeditor]

Rekt

[@andrewwhitmore8756]

ZFlyingVLover Dude, if he was a Kung Fu artist, he'd be one of the sacred monks on top of Mount Ajsgajakdndsuowoq, right with Petrucci, Angel Vivaldi, Sarah Longfield, and Tosin
