For those of you that think this is hard, you're wrong... It's actually way harder

[paven]

I don't think people get how insanely impressive this is. The fact that he remembers 80 guitar intros and can do them all flawlessly blows my mind.

[Boz-upqy]

If you would like to skip to the good part it starts at 0:01.

[JollyPolack]

Genuinely one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on YouTube.

[sdb]

Remembering 80 guitar intros and playing them all of them correctly in a single take, that's something Incredible 🔥


Edit: So many 'PRO' Musicians out there in the replies having problem about the complements given to Paul. I mean I would love to see you peoples' cover then and moreover in the description he himself mentioned it was all a single take and was done by heart.

[KrauuziWedkuje]

Playing 80 intros in one take without making cuts or mistake is insane. People don't realise how great of a guitarist Paul is.

[anastazjasowska]

this is hipnotizing. the way you smoothly change the riffs, the way you make the guitar sound so versatile... damn

[davidhilt]

Amazing, as a 76 year old, brings back the days and nights of playing one vinyl leading into another

[FJames]

It’s not just remembering the notes and rhythm, but getting each and every tone so perfectly balanced… what a performance 🫡

[samanthasoares]

The crazy train into limelight was FLAWLESS

[stewartwilson]

The transitions execution and sheer passion throughout this video is kind boggling. My first visit to your channel but it won't be the last. Truly excellent

[ben_dover_]

literally because of this video, I went and bought a guitar and taught myself to play. That was one year ago today, and i have grown so much as a player. thank you for posting this. If not for you i wouldnt have found this in myself.

[trevorhayden]

Not only did he nail the riffs, but the tone for each riff was almost spot on. Thats crazy

[freshturns_snowboarding]

Everything else aside, the fact that you got the Snow intro so perfect THAT FAR into the video is absurdly impressive. What a performance

[ismaelrm]

The transition from Slow Dancing in a Burning Room to Snow was smooth and flawless, Excellent 👍

[jakematzkows]

No cuts and every riff is flawless. That’s talent. Practice and dedication is key.

[donkyuhbuhts]

Let's be real. The 70s held it down so hard. That decade is so pivotal for rock / metal. Also it was cool to see the progression of the years. Well done

[edlaskojr]

You re amazing! You didn’t miss a lick! And all of them are absolutely the best guitar intros of all time. I think you got them all!

[kubik.]

When Paul started putting capo on the second fret I screamed
