Whitesnake Guitarist Bernie Marsden plays 'Dynaflow' on his 1959 Gibson Les Paul at WildWire Music

[@joepearson5560]

The sound if this burst is THE sound of a Les Paul i have in my head.

[@Malikon13]

that sound of that guitar when the solo kicks in at 2:11 is incredible. Like, "cry yourself to sleep because you know you'll never have a guitar sound that sweet." kind of incredible.

[@motorhead69ification]

The video ended five minutes ago and I can still hear the sustain.

[@sillytele]

Articulate, clean and classic. Great filming too. Bernie knows how to build a classic solo!

[@TheRNRNation]

That tone is seriously amazing..

[@arthurwilson1966]

Truly deserves the description - 'awesome' - for once. Inspirational performance from Bernie, unbelievable sound from 'the beast'

[@johndoe6156]

Wow, i could listen to this guy all day long...

[@DavidS-pw5gd]

Me love Bernie's playing. His PRS tribute is awesome. Play on Bernie. 59 Holy Grail Les Paul, yea baby! Keep Jammin! Enjoy Life!

[@SIGUESIGUESTAR]

Great, I really enjoyed it. Bernie's playing is fantastic and now I understand why these guitars are so valuable. They have THE sound

[@togbetsoup]

Absolute master class. Why play 10 notes when 1 does the job perfectly.

[@slugpumper1]

Superb stuff - had the pleasure of talking to Bernie after a Snakes gig in Clitheroe a few years ago - super nice guy - and a hell of a player.

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

this guy rocks

[@super63strat]

Killer tone ! Burnin' Bernie , nice soloing , mate !!!

[@super63strat]

Great playing , Bernie could make any guitar sing but the 59 LP is amazing tone

[@CusterFlux]

I guess that's the nice thing about a '59 Les Paul, it generally has so much sustain, you don't need a boat load of fuzz to keep a note ringing, so things tend to stay much more defined as there's no need to resort to fuzz-mud.

[@andrewirving1963]

Fantastic bernie !

[@Rowanb1234]

Absolutely awesome sounding axe, and top playing too.

[@jimmykoerting9015]

I love to say: Got my CC#8 ordered today ;) Thumbs up for the original and its player!

[@Thirdfish]

I'd love to see the old boys of Whitesnake back for an album and tour, with Marsden, Moody, Murray, Coverdale, Paice and Airey in for the late John Lord (rip) Sadly it won't happen but they were far better as a blues based rock band. Marsden is just superb.

[@ColinPRS]

Very nice indeed.

[@elguiridelondres6]

Great player.

[@jaharris1701]

WOW !!! now THAT was tasty !!!!! what TONE !!!

[@jaharris1701]

Isa Bel oh ya !! Gotta love those years :) that guitar he's playing has quite a history!! I think Clapton owned it for a while, Peter Green, Gary Moore, Jeff Beck played and loved it and the list goes on :) its a 1959 can you imagine what its worth ? lol

[@RayManning]

Those were some tasty licks! Wish I was in the room to experience it! Thanks for sharing.

[@jaharris1701]

Ray Manning tasty stuff huh =]~

[@BerndFlicker]

Great!

[@LoriNason123]

wow

[@whitesnakeblog]

Bernie Marsden... the man!!!! :D Amazing!

[@1rukie]

[@Supercramp1]

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

I've interviewed Bernie for my up coming documentary on Cozy Powell. Top bloke!

[@wildwiremusic]

@MikeGarveyBlues You're welcome. We have some more videos coming soon, including something special with 'The Beast'... so watch this space :)

[@lstarrtna4288]

OUTSTANDING MAN I DIG THIS SO MUCH

[@leaditamo]

Increíble, que buen guitarrista...

[@jeremyrebelka]

Super cool man ! - such a treasure of a guitar.

[@mynameistooey]

please please post more videos of the beast in action playing the blues thanks for posting

[@tkalbfeld1]

nothing like vintage pickups !!

[@lstarrtna4288]

beautiful!

[@81Badger81]

Awesome! Drop us a note when it's ready. I used to live in B'ham as a kid and a neighbour was then lead guitarist with The Steve Gibbons band, and I think he knew Cozy from a place called Sutton Coaldfield (maybe)?

[@MyRocknroll23]

Omg that tone :o

[@trevinor3]

badass

[@gogotsnail]

So many clips. Which one is best? This one. That's not debate-able.

[@donottawaguitar]

loved

[@Mastouril]

EARGASM!

[@AxlOfAwesome]

On photos i've seen, the Beano top looks very plain. And yes, in 60 they used another finish, that didn't fade that strong.

[@CaribSurfKing1]

I see its had a re-fret!

[@JorgeAlbertoDreher]

hermoso...

[@VishwaCloud]

amazingly fantabulous BLUeFROG New Delhi India

[@Titan.Uranus]

what a growl, true vintage guitar an has aged well..i might consider getting a cheaper alternative LTD..set neck 81 in the bridge..an a 490n in the neck..but a want a phat maple top..guess im gonna sell my car,consider getting a real 58 L.P standard..or american flying V with tremolo..Henry 500T bridge ice tea would be nice or a Les Paul burst..ice tea..whatever

[@murfdog19]

The Beast is definitely not the Beano guitar. Clapton has always said he remembers the Beano guitar having a very thin neck, which suggests it was a 1960 Les Paul. The Beast apparently has a fat neck typical of 50s Les Pauls.

[@daievans2637]

What amp is he using here ?

[@SDPickups]

Study the top of this guitar and compare it to known photos of Eric's LP, there doesn't seem to be a definite match, Eric had his covers off the pickups and the neck pickup was missing 2 pole screws in the good close up photo of his guitar. I've put a good 12 years in the most in-depth research on PAF's thats ever been done, it IS possible to get close to those guitars with the right electronics and the work I do, Watch HD PAF Replicas on my Channel with comparisons to actual vintage PAF's.

[@windhover294]

Also, if the beano LP was a 60 it should still retain it's Cherry sunburst finish. Didn't Gibson correct the fault in the finishing process around the end of 59/beginning of 60?

[@VishwaCloud]

amazingly fantabulous BLURFROG New Delhi India

[@Pallettmouse]

nice.

[@JetherBaia723]

Uau!!!!! great song....

[@willm7926]

IF ANYONE HAS HIS TECHNICAL SPECS FOR GUITAR SETUP PLEASE SHARE !!!!

[@FriggnDiggn]

Have any of the electronics been replaced on the guitar or is it all original?

[@luka-abodes]

The video ends with a plug for his signature model PRS??? Uh, OK.

[@enzodenovellis]

you play a fantastic jewel of 59...and then we should buy a PRS? what fuck!!!!!!????? ;)

[@Rockeras]

Yeeeeeaaaaaa!!!:-)

[@joans6950]

sin estridencias ...muy efectivo... y feeling.....

[@barano9729]

badd ass killer

[@beeps123]

So what is the deal here, Is this the ultimate sounding Les Paul out there?? Why does everyone crave the 1959's?!?!? I have a classic custom from 2007.. The good one, not the cheaper ones they came out with later.. I think it sounds as good as this one here...

[@DaltonMullins]

Les Paul Standard

[@pmay222]

is Bernie the love child of johnny hiland and Bernard manning..?

[@30smsuperstrat]

If this is the stolen beano guitar, why didn't he ever call up Eric and say hey I might have your guitar, you want to check it out and see ?

[@nivlA57]

Young people, listen how a (true) Les Paul (neck and bridge) should play !

[@looneytunes47]

NOW THAT FUCKING TONE CHILDREN.

Fully half of all new guitarist give up after watching this.

[@hazea.9993]

stick with the rhythm pick up
