Absolutely, hands down, the greatest guitar teacher there is, and has been, since the 80's. While there are greater players-not many(Holdsworth, DiMeola, Morse)-there is simply no one that even comes close to his ability to not only teach advanced concepts to the novice, but eliminate their fear of the instrument. I always go back to him when I get in a rut, and he always pulls me out.

@mikeymike4g636 жыл бұрын
Well, where the slide meets the gaffer's tape (magnet) is a very round surface so the magnet is going to have a hard time clinging to it, it needs to be fairly strong to hold the slide.

Always a treat to watch Paul. Btw is he ok? His speech/mouth appears different... Hope all is well with him. Seems like a great guy and ambassador!
It does sound dental related although wealthy people usually get vaneeres (not dentures) which wouldn't cause the lisp. Also, I have tinnitus and it wouldn't change the way he speaks. There's something going on with his mouth or speech as you can look back to videos from the 90's and 2000's and he doesn't have it.
@realkylehooks6 жыл бұрын
Josh Brown I was wondering the same. My first thought was something mental, but that would affect his playing or his word choice/fluidity. I'm guessing it's some dental work. Denture, retainer, pallet expander. He's had hearing issues for a while, so I wouldn't expect that to suddenly make him slur a bit.
