    What I tell anyone brave, foolish or stupid enough to ask my advice. I teach two-year olds, not really older, so when I’m asked by anybody over two, this is the best advice I can give, and this is what I do: when I pick up my axe first time that day, I play a single note and I really, really listen to that note, feel it vibrating the instrument and the air, hear it fade, far, far way. It’s not a long opportunity so you gotta make the best of it …because, if you care to bother doing this further exercise, you’ll realize that no matter what you do, you cannot duplicate that first experience of the day; the second time you play that note, it sounds different no matter how hard you try to listen as closely as you did the first time. That’s a channeling effect in the brain you can’t control. The almost infinite sound textures you hear in that first lovely note of the day are being gathered, readying for the deluge of notes-a song, say-it knows from experience is going to happen very, very soon. And might go on accumulating all day, all that night and around to next morning. Thus I suspect you have to sleep (something to do with dreams and REM, &c-I can’t quote David Levitson) to refresh the first-note-of-the-day effect. I also suspect that’s why some performers go in cold: that’s the effect they want just before they proceed with the repertoire. One might get pretty good at artificially preserving and reproducing that effect as the session goes on. But, as professional as that is, I don’t believe it is possible to capture the personal -uh-I dunno-“zen” of that first, well contemplated note. Of course this is why acoustic instruments-the guitar being the predominant, excellent thing-are so good for starting the day. You can’t do it with electric amplification (but you can with an electric guitar unplugged-just that the effect is shorter and more difficult to savour). Naturally that first full, beautiful, full-bodied chord of the day is similar in effect. But nothing beats so pure and powerful as that first note of the day. My advice: really pay attention to that first note, make sure to do it. I have guitars all over my house and can be pretty nonchalant about grabbing one, getting that idea out into the medium-but the first-note-of-the-day effect, that meditative or, dare I say, even prayerful effect won’t be there if it ain’t the actual thing. Sounds small. Sounds too short. But it can influence yer whole day. Just imagine it’s a song-all in one note. Thnx and all the best. XO

    Thorough run down on tones for this LP Modern Lite thanks. I like SG and LP so this seems a nice mashup. I like the satin finishes on my SG and LP Special but the finishes are thicker and have no grain sink. One LP Studio has a lighter satin with grain sink and the color finish chips off really easily down to bare wood. These new color finishes are really sweet. But if they can chip and wear prematurely under the light satin Gibson has used here I think many buyers will end up disappointed in a few years. Not talking about typical wear, but chipping and flaking.

    My first actual Les Paul design was an Epiphone. Of course it was a Goth version, 6 string. Great lesson because I wouldn't be able to play what over the years, I've been able to play using Charvel Jackson and so I realise that. If that Epiphone doesn't have such great pickups and a magic neck and so, I wouldn't have learned new music and not on bass guitar. I'm really natural on the top end, but when you want magic I would choose a Las Paul...With A breadstick in one hand.

    He comes across as a genuinely nice guy. That said, he's just an evolution of super tecnnical players like Govan and Gambale etc. Impressive skills to watch, but still a bit tedious to listen to for longer than a few minutes. That's an opinion and I'll own it!

    I've never found anyone that could put into words the reasons why I don't use a pick like this guy. It just feels more natural to me. I had trouble holding on to picks when I first started playing and basically just said, "this is stupid" and started figuring things out without one. He's far surpassed me, but it's crazy when he listed his influences, I almost laughed because mine are all the same players, especially Mark Knopfler. Crazy.

    Hola amigo , les sigo desde los años 90 por la revista Guitarrista. Gran trabajo especialista . Sobre esta guitarra tengo que estar totalmente de acuerdo en esta ocasión con el instrumento del cual soy un afortunado propietario . Lógicamente en aspectos de sonido desde aquí te das cuenta que cuando la tienes entre las manos y tocas ,muestra este instrumento un tono maravilloso difícil de comparar con el audio de You tube . Pero es gran trabajo de muestra . En la realidad suena increíble también . Adquirí esta guitarra sin estar sugestionado por algoritmos , la probé en tienda física y se me quedó pegada , adhesiva . NO TENÍA PREVISTO COMPRAR GUITARRA ALGUNA 😂, solo quería cuerdas y salí de la tienda con la guitarra super enamorado , y me está dando lo que ninguna guitarra propia me ofrecía. Gracias por las lecciones en la revista Guitarrista de la cual tengo muchas unidades en inglés y en español.❤ . Saludos director . Gracias.
