“Buying things wont’t make you happy. Spent your money wisely” damm that hit me hard

[joaocunha]

I loved the little disclamer note at: 8:33, it shows that Paul thinks about his audience.
Have an amazing holiday y'all

[coryman]

At first I was thinking "Just turn the amp off before unplugging the guitar", but you do make a good point about switching while on stage. That's way easier than having an amp per guitar.

Also, "It's the holiday season, cut the postman some slack". This is probably the most wholesome thing I've ever heard said about any postal service :)

Gonna ask my girfriend casually to buy me a Kemper

*Have a wonderful holiday ladies and gentlemen!*

[ConstantineLovesGod]

Dude, you're so f*cking positive and happy. And the advice that you give, both for guitar/music related stuff or LIFE, is genuinely SO
Thanks dude, I f*cking LOVE YOU, MAN!!!!
AND EVERYONE ELSE READING THIS COMMENT I LOVE YOU, HAVE MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY WHOLE NEW YEAR! =D

My sons have just started learning to play the guitar. Now the gift possibilities are endless for birthdays and Christmas. 😎

Love how you start off with the guitar stand and then leave your Strat leaning against the wall for the remainder of the video. Bonus points for showing your cat wandering around who could knock it over at any time.

Your CS strat is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen... the color, the flaming on the neck, my god it’s gorgeous

[SypherLXVII-MySixStringJourney]

This is a great video to release just before Xmas. The cable alone was worth watching. Thanks for sharing.

Me: Hey mom can I go down to the store to pick up a little gift.
Mom: sure why not
Mom: hands over debit card
Me: comes back with 1959 gibson les paul strolling in through the door
Edit: Wow guys! didnt expect this to blow up thank You!!!

[GuillermoCarrasco]

Except for the Hercules stand, specially the "stand" part of it, I totally agree with your list. Very good. Thanks.

[MrTexugo]

What a beautiful beard... I mean... video.

[rudikessler]

"silent" is not the cable, it's the Neutrik plug. But yes, it's priceless.
Straight for the Strat, angled for Tele/LP.

Also great things for acoustic guitar IMO:
1. Ergoplay tappert or some similar guitar support for acoustic /classical guitar. Saves your back :)
2. Blackstar Fly Acoustic or some other portable mini amp.
3. Wireless system for guitar. Those things are 🔥🔥🔥

3:29 Life saver my friend... guitar IS life

[RemiCardona]

The Hercules stand is by far my best guitar-related purchase in years. I bought the 3-guitar stand, it hold my 2 guitars (with some room to grow) perfectly and this thing is kid-proof, literally! As a dad, I was weary of leaving my guitars out with my kid roaming around, with a couple of very close calls. Not anymore!

Can't wait for my Kemper for Christmas. I asked Santa so he better come through

[varunmuhilviswanathan]

I know that only a very few people hold the same view, but the noise while you plug in a guitar is just ✨iconic✨. For me, it gives the feeling as though the guitar had woken up to life, being dormant before it was plugged in, and gives me that extra first motivation when I start playing.

The only place I see myself using the noiseless cables are when I am swapping guitars on stage, which hasn't happened till now.

Don't get me wrong. I know that the noise annoys a lot of people. And this product would be a game changer for them. I am just stating my point of view and this product is just not for me and also not for the people who think like me.
