What amuses me is that very few, if any, of the people involved in these 1950s Pauls could have imagined they would end up being played like this.

[@boeing_opal]

It's always funny to think about how much of the 50s and 60s guitar tech was built with the intention of putting out the purest, cleanest tone. I think Les Paul wanted his guitar to put out something like a sine wave. The amps were getting bigger so that the sound could stay clean at high volume. And hardly any players seemed to use the gear the way the manufacturers intended. The Jazzmaster got made for jazz musicians, who hardly used it and preferred the Jaguar. Meanwhile the Jazzmaster found a niche decades later in noisy music like My Bloody Valentine or Dinosaur, Jr. It's just interesting that Fender, Gibson, etc. were totally out of sync with what players wanted, but their products were also totally irreplaceable for those same players. They just accidentally created the essential tools of ditorted rock playing while trying to craft the cleanest, most straight-ahead sound they could.

[@promerops]

@@boeing_opal I suppose the one class of players who were employing a more aggressive, distorted sound at that time were the blues players; and it was from them that the rock players took their cue. The blues guys (and girls, thank you Sister Rosetta Tharpe) may have come upon such sounds by accident, if they could not afford bigger, 'better', amps.

[@boeing_opal]

@@promerops Yeah, I think the discovery of those sounds was pretty accidental at first. But once they were out there, people were chasing them big time. Sounds like there were a few players who found that damaged amps sounded good to them, and there were a good number afterward who would intentionally damage their speaker cones to imitate it.

[@Disciple_Of_Lerxst]

👍🤘

[@jasondorsey7110]

@@boeing_opal The amps are way more important to the sound of rock than the guitars. Ted Nugent used a "jazzbox" gibson and made it rock, so did Steve Howe sometimes. Lots of players use fender solid bodies to play genres other than rock. But you're not likely to break out a marshall stack to play a country gig

[@daviddunkin7454]

Sounds incredible brother. I said it before and I’ll say it again, so glad that you decided to keep that Les Paul…

[@happy_92]

Les Paul Specials in general are really good guitars. Very versatile. Gotta get one with P90's though.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Can't imagine life without it now!👍🏻

[@demigodofawesomeness]

[@j_freed]

Yep that was a good call. Matthew knows how to take a good risk buying sight unseen.

[@needle3434]

@@MatthewScottmusic which fuzz is that?

[@gabrielatyia6703]

dude this is so freaking good it’s frustrating

[@twinjams3189]

That pinch harmonic at 1:47 just gets me every time…. This tone is just unmatched.

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

I keep saying this each time he jams with that Special, they were meant for each other. I know he's a Strat guy (or thinks he's a Strat guy), but the tone of that guitar combined with his style of playing is a match made in heaven.

[@SABAI15]

Man that just completely blew my mind!! Not only the awsome tone with the fuzz. But your playing is outstanding, so much emotion in this. Man, you have gotta get an album out!!

[@siscoismyhomey]

[@warshipsatin8764]

fuzzed out gibson is the best sound ever, man

[@RByrne]

After 70 years I think it finally found its home. Sounds absolutely perfect. So glad you decided to save it and share it with us.

[@skyluvr77]

It would be awesome to see Matthew Scott and Chris Buck Colab! In my view the next generation of guitar greats, in with Kingfish!

[@WestlehSeyweld]

Hell yeah, though Oklahoma and England are pretty far

[@khaldounj]

One of the best ideas I come across in a while

[@op-z]

Totally what I thought, Chris Buck vibes for sure.

[@RestInPeaceX]

@@op-z well personally I think Matt has his own vibes and I dig that a lot, he is one of the blues rock player I take inspirations from \m/

[@stevepick9527]

Totally agree, and for those who haven’t seen Kingfish live he’s over the top! Some great playing and amazing tone here as usual! 👍

[@ItsMrMcFly]

Yo Matt. I’ve been a follower since you had a couple thousand followers and have seen your playing for years now. But dude. This is the best I’ve ever heard you sound. Absolutely perfect in every way. I have watched this 5x’s in a row.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thanks so much Dan and thanks for having around for that long! Been a great ride!

[@InTonalHarmony]

I agree with what some of the others have said . . . This is some of the best playing we’ve seen on your channel. It sounds expressive and original and fresh. Very tasteful!!!

[@miltonic69]

For a guy who was hooked on Fenders for years, he sure seems to be enjoying the magic of that old Gibson!

[@jcsk8]

The million dollar tone!

[@bdavis1193]

Crunchy AF! That is one sick LP!

[@GuitarExpress]

Best tone on KZbin PERIOD

[@peterm3964]

I am a 57 model myself , Yeeup August 57 build date . I like the fat tone and ragged playing . POWER SECTION DISTORTION IS THE KEY . Get that power tube burning hot and the rectifier tube straining to keep up and you will understand .

[@rashadmoss3991]

You Matt, that single you have. Where you been is incredible

[@dinartefreitas3344]

Amanzing huge sound and sweet at the same time. You, nik sevigny, phillipe sayce and simo.... All teaching the blues, the sound, the playabity, the sweet gear to speak the electrifying voice with music and passion. Amanzing musicians you All are.

[@mitchellmiller8587]

God thing that you keep that guitar. Your playing is awesome 👏

[@dhio9615]

one of the best examples of blending major and minor I've ever seen

[@chrisbardolph264]

I'm working on a P90s build for myself, and that project just got fast forwarded. Sweet sound.

[@stevencancel1727]

The Mighty P90 with all that hound dog tone when done correctly will usually win your guitar shootout!

[@SamuelChaparo]

the ammount of tone in this video is... no words

[@2dazetake]

To die for tone, Matt you have it going on, when it comes to matching up old gear, that always sounds great,always look forward to your videos.

[@kirwanmactaggart8763]

Didn't know what my favourite tone would be until I heard it, this is it

[@SABAI15]

10 months on and i still regularly listen to this. Ive left a few comments on this over the last 10 months and here i go again. This is my favourite peice of music of all time. Thats saying something coming from a huge fan of SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Rory Gallagher, BB King, and list goes on and on. My only complaint is i wish it were longer. Mathew, in my opinion you are every bit as good as anyone past and present.

[@sgfreak96]

It is insane the character this guitar has. A totally different sound from the strat, not that it's better/worse, but amazing in its own right.

[@matthewwayne1929]

Who has some of the best tone on KZbin? Matthew Scott, That’s who….

[@sairamr6886]

The people who made these LP's back in the day have no idea how ahead of time they were.

[@thejimmymeister]

The early bit after kicking the fuzz in reminds me of Marc Ford, both the tone and the playing.

[@SpicyDragoon]

Man, you’re a really soulful player

[@themusicstudy3669]

Not only is Matthew a great player but he also doesn’t make stupid “I love my life and everything on this earth” smiley faces when he plays. I am truly grateful for this!

[@MrRobEdwads1]

This is the best sound, lead and solo I've heard in ages. I felt every note.

[@trouschyoutub]

Sweet! An old guitar inspiring an old school vibe.

[@JohnCarty321]

So much mojo around here !

[@bacaliboy]

I'm convinced--I'm going with P90s when I get a Les Paul!

[@yourefromdownsouth9728]

That sounds flat out stunning. Playing was great and absolutely suited the tone. Great work!

[@fornofsky]

I have a 56 Lespaul special just like that those P90’s sound great also without fuzz, very jazzy at the neck and rock n’ roll at the bridge …

When I was a kid in 1983 my parents luckily enough went to a music shop and found a 1980 Strat still in the box. My first guitar I've been a strat player ever since.A couple yrs. ago I squired a guitar with p90s & I realized"this is THE sound I have been looking for my entire life"
