Tricks of the trade in the Key of B

[@MichaelRuy]

I’ve been playing for almost 30 years Paul. I’ve been using the Internet to learn for about the past 10. You are by far the best guitar teacher I’ve seen on here. Thank you for all your dedication. Much love from San Francisco! 🏴

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you Michael, what a lovely comment. Appreciated 😊. And greetings to you in San Francisco from a cloudy Edinburgh Scotland 🤘

[@MichaelRuy]

I used your bend up to A7 at a gig last night and the crowd went wild! Vanru music 💯

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

That makes me smile ear to ear Michael 😊🤘

[@59teleman]

Paul, the subtleties, nuances and tone of the Oswald are sublime in your hands. Now there has to be a philanthropist out there to coax you out to record an album with a wee combo cause you know we all would dig it. Imagine!🙏

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Ah, thank you P D. Maybe one day 😊

[@crazywisdom2]

Have you done an album? Do you wanna do an Album ? Are you working on an Album ? 16k subscribers... how (?) Can we support this effort if you were interested ? And if this is not an interest of yours, thats ok. Just curious. Thanks : )

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thanks crazywisdom2. It’s so nice to hear that there would be interest in an album. It’s not something I’m particularly pursuing, since I have no band 😊. So if I was to do it, it would be a very simple affair, with just me playing guitar, with no backing, a bit like my KZbin vids. But no plans at the moment, I’m just enjoying posting for KZbin. Cheers 😊

[@crazywisdom2]

New to your chanel paul not played much lately 32 years Got the telecaster out last year as my son is starting to play Started noodling as I do every now and then was stuck in the pentatonic then my son showed me your chanel Amazing guitarist u are but you explain thing even I can understand I've learnt so much from u already Thanks so much

I’m not sure, but I think it was near the 6:35 mark when you were playing the Middle Eastern stuff that I felt tempted to sing a melody from the musical Oliver, “You’ve got to pick a pocket or two!”

[@crowhaven200]

Paul.. in 70 years, I never learned music, never had a lesson. Honestly I shouldn't be watching these, you are too good for me to learn anything from. I only play by ear.. I have few regrets in my life, I think one for sure, is I wish I had taken lessons. I lived off grid, and barely on the grid, and alone for so many years, I just never got into a position to do it. Yeah I wish.... I wish I had. I envy your knowledge. Thanks for sharing it.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you so much Crow, your comment has me smiling. And wondering…. I’ve always loved the idea of being off grid… I now have images of you as some lone woodsman, working on his cabin out in bear country 🤣. Well I’m delighted you can get some inspiration from the videos 😊

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Wow... I've been looking for these types of videos... where someone just noodles all kinds of cool stuff centered around a chord. Was searching for "riffs in E"... but most all is just a riff or two... not loads of idea like this is! Was sad when I watched the last one now. Please consider doing more of this type? Your playing/phrasing is so great! Does anyone know of more videos like this??? Please. Thanks Paul!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thanks man, what a lovely comment! I appreciate that 👍. I’ll certainly do more lesson based vids in the future.

Very informative and great playing Paul. That guitar sounds awesome in your hands! I think a great Strat is when you can really enjoy playing clean on the bridge pickup. Most players only use it with gain but yours sounds magical clean. Thanks Paul.

Cheers Brian, I seem to have struck it lucky with this Strat. I can’t put it down 🤣

I've been flat out and just getting into these tricks vids properly now. So cool. It's all clear when it's shown but they're not connections I'd have made otherwise. The tones are another thing to aim for. Well done, Paul. This is as good as anything out there.

[@petergoddard1960]

The Oswald awakens! Glorious tones abound, and could it be that this guitar has found it's amp? I'd say 'probably' and reserve further opinion until I hear it through the Marshall. Of course, the Cornell is my personal favourite amongst your amps so I am biased from the get go. Tonally here I just love that middle pickup. Now there's a statement you don't often hear about Strats. As 'clean' tones go this combo is pretty hard to beat. It might be nice to hear the Cornell and one of the other amps together, although it might be a bugger to record using your lovely simple set up. These 'Tricks of the Trade' have been really superb. I have already visited them more than once and will continue to do so until I have absorbed (STOLEN, if truth be known) as much as I can. It's the thought process as much as the dexterity that is so bloody impressive.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you for that lovely comment Peter. Yes, I think I’ll do a vid soon where I run the Oswald through each of my 3 amps, back to back. Might be fun. I’m totally bonding big time with that Strat 🙏

[@pharmerdavid1432]

I love your new Oswald hardtail strat...I'd order one, but I'm not worthy. I have a really nice Nash strat already, the only strat I've ever bonded with, but Nash just buys bodies, necks, hardware, and pickups, then puts it all together - giving it his "magic" (many others do it now too). Oswald makes everything himself, yet sells them for about the same as Nash, when he should be asking 2-3 times as much. Nacho Banos sells his for more - there is one of his telecasters on Reverb for ~$5K. At that price, Oswald will get so backordered he'll never keep-up with demand. I understand he does it out of love, not to make money, but he should charge market value. He is like a Stradavarius (Stratavarius?). That hardtail of yours sounds so sweet, because your love for it makes you play your best, and you are a great player anyways. With a dad like you have, I can understand how you got into music and guitars - quite a collection he has! I never liked strats until 15 years ago, when I found my used Nash hanging on the wall at Guitar Crazy in Portland. Wish it was a hardtail - don't use the wang-bar much, but the trem-block does change the sound and adds sustain, although maybe not as "woody"? That strat of yours just sounds SO good, your love for it makes your playing shine. Love listening - cheers!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you Pharmer David. Yes, I have to agree with you that Nick’s prices should be revisited. This in genuinely the best Strat I’ve ever played. Anyway, I enjoyed reading your words, thank you 😊

[@johnianknox1629]

Paul, you've just confirmed that all Auld Reekie people are show offs hehe, fabulous tones and playing as always, good sounds from the old strat too. Now, for the weekly story. Fella comes home from work and his missus is standing in the hall wearing a very short negligee and nothing else, he says "oh yeah ! What's all this then ?", she says "happy birthday darling, you know how you've always wanted me to get a tattoo but i never fancied one, well I've finally got one just for you ", she turns round and and lifts up her negligee and she's got a W on each cheek, the husband explodes shouting " who the f.... is WW ?, she says "Don't be daft, when I bend over it spells WOW.

Hi Paul, that Oswald strat sounds wicked! what pickups are there in it? stock? Thanks!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thanks Migueltxum 👍. Nick Oswald built them and he calls them “Hot Oswald ‘62s” which are 5-10% overwound. But all three pickups also have baseplates, like a Tele bridge pickup”, which is not normal for Strats.
