[@PaulDavids]

It was great hanging and talking to you Pete, and thanks for having me!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Paul!!! So great hanging with you!

[@Danything123]

We need more of this collaboration

[@andertons]

You guys rock.... Please come and see us when you are in the UK...

[@Joaquingdc]

yes pleaseeee!!!!

[@PeteThorn]

Will do!

[@stratmanuk]

@Aditya Ramesh That would be just fantastic:-D

[@lehrkoerper]

Looking forward to these videos!

[@danmar007]

You've got to get Pete Lee.

[@PaulMatthewMusic1]

Not only is Pete the perfect guitar player/engineer for gear demos but dude has the personality and voice for it too. Dude is just built for it.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@hobbyknight9962]

Pete Thorn and Paul Davids! Oh to be a fly on the wall with these guys. So much talent between these two gentleman.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks man!

[@Sadowsky46]

But we are the fly on the wall through yt 😉🎸

[@SeriousTipStudio]

Lol 😆 I was thinking that too. We're the fly on the wall. 😁😃😄

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

Two of the best YT guitaristas, and also two of the nicest guys. Would love to see you two having a jam.

[@pauljohnson1065]

This is what makes KZbin a fantastic vehicle for knowledge. Listening to great communicators like these two, is a privilege!

[@BrandOdyssey]

Wow. How great are these guys. Thorn. Tim pierce. Beato. Paul David's. Et al. all such humble people who are dedicated to craft.

[@OzziePete1]

TBH, this is the great thing about the internet & KZbin. Anyone starting out can get advice online from these people as well as many others on all aspects of music. The gear, the method, the technique, all the things that used to be handed down to younger players by word of mouth and experience, can now be found almost straight away here or elsewhere online.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

This was an amazing chat guys, very inspirational. You both rock 🤘🏻

[@HarlanHarvey76]

My KZbin supergroup: (in no particular order) Rick Beato Paul Davids Pete Thorn Tom Quayle Marty Mcgee Jens Larsen David Walliman Beyond being fantastic musicians, they are all outstanding teachers!!

[@DirtJunkie1620]

You need to check out Tyler at music is win.

[@ummagumma7826]

KZbin and music aside, Paul and Pete are preaching about the journey of self-employment

[@Gerbrand1]

When I started playing guitar it was radio, records and rare obscure sheet music. Now I just watch guys like Pete and Paul. Amazing job guys!

[@danmar007]

Paul has a great presence. And he's a very stylish guitarist. His videos are great. I would watch many of them even if I didn't play. Great interview Pete.

[@StealthParrot]

Paul Did a video on chord inversions called 'how to make every chord sound magical' and it just blew my mind. Love his videos and channel.

[@DirtJunkie1620]

Thanks to you two guys for the positive impact you've had on my guitar playing!

[@zenswrd7815]

Love Paul Davids too! I find his voice so calming I’d buy audio books if he ever narrated them 🤣

[@SeriousTipStudio]

That was nice of you Pete the have Paul on your show. He is a good guitar teacher and probably helps a lot of people with his show. 🤘

[@solanowithano]

How cool it was someone from Lisbon cheering you because of the Eruption video! Thanks for the amazing videos Pete! Cheers from Portugal

[@ewanchalmers9498]

Two genuine guys, passionate and talented. The conversation is REAL.

[@geruto17760]

Another string to your bow, Pete. You are a good interviewer!

[@EdmHistorEE]

I love the interactions between KZbin content creators - Pete and Paul (along with Rabea Masaad, Chris Buck, Colin from CS Guitars, Ben Eller, Rick Beato and so many more) have such different styles, it is like getting master classes from a dozen different giants in the guitar world every week. We are in a new golden age of learning and playing and these players are at the forefront. Would love to see more of this. Maybe a round table scenario with 4-5 content creators answering their favourite questions? Thanks from Edmonton!

[@JenniferPricci]

“He’s a master educator and communicator, as well as being a terrific guitar player.” Now on to Paul... 😉 ***THIS IS EXCELLENT!***

[@macl4ren]

Two wonderful guitarists who both inspire me every day.

[@bryanclarke1927]

Just getting into Paul's stuff. Think having to get a real job is something every guitarist can relate to. However a local band, Massive Waggons, who were on the verge of quitting 18 months ago are just about to embark on a stadium tour with Status Quo. So never give up people.

[@andyracksthecams]

It is your passion that moves you towards perfection.

[@gtrstringer]

I’m so glad to see you guys together sharing your stories. I would have never thought I’d see my 2 favorite musicians interviewing each other on KZbin. Thank you, much respect for both you guys!!! Keep up the good work. 👍

[@gregbaker6215]

You two and the Samariguitarist are my favorite oh and when ever Phill X is on, he is always a lot of fun too. Mad props to the both of you. Someday I'm gonna put out a KZbin video and it might be sooner than even I am ready for. Kinda scary, but maybe it will be something that interests people. Thank you both for all the inspiration!!! 🎸🤓🎸

[@subbbass]

after this video I bought your album Guitar Nerd, because of your attitude. Congratulations! The cover is great. Not pretending to be ... what ever. Just a young guy happy to make music. I'm sure some kids were not nice to you because of your glasses. You are who you are and can be proud of that.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks! ya I got teased, still do haha

[@davidhoxit4274]

Pete, Paul, you guys are fantastic! Thanks for all the help. I don't aspire to be a world reknown musician....just want to be a better guitarist. I have learned much from you two and I can't thank you enough! Love your channels and I appreciate your influence guys!!

[@bobbybaghdad522]

I remember watching that 5-piece eruption video in probably, 2015 or 2016. Hilarious, Pete! Amazing how time flies.

[@rorymcloughlin2023]

This chilled out discussion could be 20 hours long and still be super interesting.

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Rory glad you like it!

[@lescaster2179]

Paul is an awesome teacher, has a great video presence and personality and as great of a musician as he is, I'm really fascinated by his growth as a video creator. Awesome editing. Great sound. So well done, now, that it would be easy to assume he's hired a professional production team to make his videos.

[@stratmanuk]

Pete's Eruption series gave me a whole new lease of guitar life lol! So much to practice in that video series, kept me going for months :-) I can't believe that Paul hadn't seen it! It's the best version of Eruption I've ever heard next to the original.

[@dunhamchris]

You two are amazing. Loving what you do !

[@stevenmiller5906]

Great vid. One of ur best. Thanks to both of you for the insight.

[@di5863]

Yes Pete, I liked the live ... Thank you! many cool things have been discussed👏👏👏👍

[@kinleydorji]

What an awesome video, Pete and Paul together - two of my favorites!

[@stephenlennartz3466]

Both of you are a daily inspiration! Love both channels. Thanks and keep it coming.

[@krisfortner8752]

Real good work Pete. Good on both of you.

[@Joaquingdc]

do more colabs please!!! this is amazeballs so much love from peru!

[@theericbeaty]

The tips beginning at 6:40 and 13:23 are pure genius. I can totally relate to the teaching aspect since I've been teaching guitar ever since I started learning myself over 25 years ago. Thanks for this video. Definitely one worth coming back to and reviewing more than once-even twice.

[@ChrisStarkGtr]

Wonderful interview!

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

Fantastic interview, thanks for posting! :)

[@RichTones]

Great video guys you are both super inspiring to us smaller channels and players. Thank you for the detailed insight and all of your great blessings on your channels!

[@Ijcarter1962]

Great video guys. Lots of good information from two of the best on KZbin. 👍🎸

[@knucklesprayer]

You two are one of my favorites, specially for SO HUMBLE you two are :D Gracias :D

[@angellence]

This is great, love what both of you guys do. Humble and inspiring and very different from each other, you guys are great thanks for all the knowledge ⭐️⛄️🍉

[@kawpaytek2999]

two of my guitar heroes..whoaa..keep it up pete..your suhr signature guitar was my dream guitar..it looks and sounds so awesome...

[@thesoozeTJ]

Two of the best right there.

[@OdinStan]

2 of my favourite guitarists and channels in the same place. Great video.

[@Spineloro]

I love it when some of my preferred YT musicians and mentors meet and share their stuff !!! F cool 👍

[@chrisact9601]

I'd never heard of Paul. Now I have. Subscribed. :) Thanks, Pete.

[@cliffgold3840]

Great video Pete...! Self motivation seems to be a very common thread with yourself, Paul and many other KZbinrs. You're both great musicians and appear comfortable in front of a camera, but none of us viewers would have so much respect for you and what you do it it weren't for your motivation. Cheers..!

[@MrPoilleke]

So great to see such humble people, and some of the greatest players on this planet together have a casual chat, thanks Pete, bedankt Paul. I started last year playing again after a 20years break (life ya know)...l am 53 now, and mostly thanks to you guys, and the good thing is l am still making some progress. The thing is we actually don't realize most of our progress going along the way, until one day you realize it with a big smile on your face, thanks again Pete! Peace

[@MrPoilleke]

You are welcome Pete 😃👍🏽👍🏽👊

[@hearpalhere]

Man, this was thoroughly enjoyable! I loved hearing your story about the guy thanking you for the Eruption lesson Pete. You are both truly inspirational!

[@jamesatkinson4386]

Extremely informative and interesting. 2 great players and presenters. Keep doing what you do.

[@johnrogers001]

I watched they other video you 2 did - Paul interviewing Pete - and had to check out this one as well. You both seem like genuinely great guys, who also happen to be great guitar players, not to mention great communicators. Thanks!

[@gilbertrockstv8557]

You guys are two of my favorites! This is going to help me and my new channel go to the next level. I'm already a music teacher and spreading the word to more people will only help make the world a better place. Thanks for all the amazing info. I know how much work it takes to make these videos and it's such a blast to do as well. Keep on crushing it bros!

[@rodrigocmusic]

Great interview! Cheers from brazil. Im a bassplayer n I love both channels

[@PooNinja]

great interview Pete. Persistence, self motivation and be nice! most of all stay true to yourself and be honest with yourself.

[@scot-combs]

Nice. I love the collaborative culture among and between you guys. Also, albums ... I have your stuff, Pete, it's inspiring to me. Thanks!

[@mrmastermixvideo]

Very inspiring! Thank you both for sharing such valuable insight and knowledge! I feel enlighten ! Time to play guitar! And make some fun videos and post on KZbin ASAP!!!

[@guismth]

Thats the key for me. Be real. YT is the best library, resource, how too ever. Thanks for being candid. Keep rockin, I always look forward to seeing you guys and am always pleased at the benefit I get from It. Food for the inquisitive mind. Youve helped me through many plateaus. Ty!

[@sjfamilomusic]

This is as awesome as the time my other hero (Matt Scannell) was on the Tim and Pete Guitar Show. Love Paul's instructional videos and playing style. Glad to see his considerable talent showcased and recognized.

[@withmygoodeyeclosed]

Awesome collab Pete. Paul's channel is great.

[@edward4670]

That is some great advice... nice talk guys!!

[@uktmaxx]

Phil X... KZbin phenomenon to rockstar in one of the world's biggest bands ever!

[@deweymuzik]

such a huge fan of you both!

[@BillDutton]

Outstanding.

[@philipwhuff]

Very, very cool.

[@joaonorte8535]

Paul Davis and Pete Thorn toogether, GREAT! Two of three my favourites Guitar KZbinrs.

[@alans1313]

dont know how i missed this video before now...but im so glad i found it,,what a great way to spend half an hour,,it was really interesting to hear you guys chat together,,love both your channels,,such fantastic players,,so great we have this medium otherwise over hear in australia i might never have heard of you both, and my playing would not have improved....cheers from australia

[@FreedomsGuard]

Wow, a Pete Thorn/Paul Davids collaboration on some songs...would love to hear that music. These two gentlemen along with Charlie Wallace have done more for my playing ability than anything else I've ever done. Great job guys!

[@tmitz73]

You guys nailed it!!! Thanks a million!!! So inspired!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks, that's the best!

[@netzer442]

Excellent video!

[@Simmiffy]

I walked past you at the Guitar Summit this year in Mannheim but was too stunned and socially awkward to poke you in the chest like that guy in Lisbon 😄 You‘re an amazing guitar player and content creator, keep it up 👏🏼

[@derbanger1097]

I Love both of your Channels. Gonna check out the Eruption Video. Greets from Germany!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks Andre!

[@normjones6916]

What a nice treat

[@neutronjockey]

Thanks for this series, Pete - it’s been good all around advice for navigating life as a professional ___(fill-in-the-blank)___, as well as some great advice on being an all around good human.

[@PeteThorn]

Jeff, thanks man!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Pete, you need to blow your own trumpet a bit more. Not many come close to you fella. Incredible musician.

[@PeteThorn]

Hey thanks Chris!

[@RelizEkpoJnr]

I discovered him on that hyvibe guitar video. The picking was mad cool. How he manipulated the echoes and delay, just wow.

[@ericrepper6919]

You guys are awesome together. Not sure which one of you came up with this idea, but I don't care....I truly enjoy, and learn much from the two of you. THink you guys are on to something. We really do appreciate what you guys do for us learning guitarists!!

[@shorerocks]

Next level cool. Yep!

[@michaelscott1199]

Agreed, it's a really good move to put out your own stuff if at least once😎👍 Oh yeh, second the jam idea if at least for the first minute or two 😉

[@alojz300]

Neat!

[@AlphaLabRat]

I feel so lucky to have the only two people whose guitar channels that I watch make a (second) video together. Thanks for another great video!

[@JenniferPricci]

This multicam setup is 👌

[@suqies]

pete thorne and paul davids? I wasn't told that christmas would come early..

[@FlavioCastro81]

I also saw you live in Lisbon with Chris Cornell, and I also knew you because of the Nova System review vídeo...

[@HarlanHarvey76]

Oh, and Paul has an awesome beard.... that can take you a long way in this business😉

[@chadwaller6072]

Great stuff.

[@chadwaller6072]

You both mentioned something that struck home with me. I’d been playing guitar for quite awhile before I really did something with it. Started out doing acoustic night at the local Brewery and then Open mic. I’ve been playing in a hobby band for the last 2 years. What is your goal. Perpetual practice ? Or get out there and use that practice for whatever your goal is. Fun , professional musician. Whatever. Use all that practice for something. Thx for all the great content and inspiration Pete and Paul

[@babble720]

Hopefully you find this funny, but I was watching Pauls video today and then got fixated that I've known you for years. Started frantically googling based on my belief you released albums in the 90's and couldn't find anything. It was driving me crazy so I finally pulled out my CD's and realized I was thinking of Pete Yorn :) No offense meant, but to be fair you guys looked somewhat similar when you had longer hair. Anyway, I'm a new subscriber. Very cool channel.

[@PeteThorn]

It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been mistaken for him believe me ha ha

[@rprod9845]

19:21, Pete, bravo! 👏

[@ErGoyoTV]

Off to check Pete Thorn's 5-part How To Play Eruption videos

[@MrScrofulous]

Paul you were the only 8' tall man on the bus had to be you :). How to succeed at youtube by PD.........Cool jacket, tight beard, amazing editing, Ableton......sweet !!!

[@L.Scott_Music]

Whenever I watch these kinds of discussions I find myself wondering, probably because of my age, about the long term. What will all these wonderful KZbinrs be doing when they are in their sixties, or seventies? I'd be interested in hearing a discussion among KZbinrs about preparing for the future. It seems to me that with some thought and effort the future could be pretty bright for all.

[@rongerritse8567]

Thumbs up 👍🏻, like the video

[@pastorkev777]

Great video guys. I do have a question, when you put your own music on youtube or Instagram, do you copyright it?

[@johnhamers4571]

First you will find those dudes separated on KZbin and some later you find them talking to each other. The world is a small place !

[@waitingforanalibi3069]

Paul’s strength is his video editing.

[@samroyproductions3476]

Please interview guitar mastery he is beast

[@KaizenOz]

Holy shit.. collab... I had to click 😬😂

[@doctiberius2717]

One BIG question ' Who got that Fender thinline in the end, Dan or Paul? I saw Dan saying how good it was and being very positive over it. Then Paul comes along and takes it. Guitars have personalities and personalities play guitar or is there another way to put it?
