[Lasbike]

@juhsparamore Actually, there are a few hundreds of known guitarists better than her

[greekfreak1980]

Great performance ,hey Orianthi whit out a PRS?

[DorRayne]

@greekfreak1980 this was a tribute to Les Paul.

[greekfreak1980]

@DorRayne Yes, its just very unusual to see her with a Gibson,its like seeing Vai without an Ibanez Jem,lol! But in the end its a great gig!

[fendermac]

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright and Rick's alright too

[obamabiden4maine]

Les Paul sheer genius!

[EmanEzone]

This is actually AMAZINGly cool B/All., wow, I really dig stadium sound! I had no idea you knew Rick Nielsen, I sold him a guitar in Joplin, Mo. in like 1980 4 or 5! Very cool jam, I watched it twice!!! Regards e

[BassPedal2009]

anybody know the name of the led zepplin song that starts at 1:40 i cant remeber it but ive heard it a million times

[brianrayguitar]

@BassPedal2009 It's a little song called "Whole Lotta Love" ... thanks for listening, to my tribute to the man!!

best, Brian Ray

[Andresbeatguy]

well I've seen when you play with Paul you use your acustic guitar without cables or it seems to But well I would like knowing how do you get a pure sound from your guitar without using cables ???well i have tha doubt because some dyas ago i try to record a video but it didn't had a great sound can you help me ??

[brianrayguitar]

@Andresbeatguy oh, actually I use cables with my acoustic guitars and wireless with my electric guitars and bass. You are right, it's difficult getting good sound with wireless on acoustic.

best luck to you,

B

[Andresbeatguy]

@brianrayguitar thankyou brian that's gonna help me so much and which amplifier do you use or do you reccomend me to use ? for bass

[Andresbeatguy]

I have many doubts about your guitar's sound so please answer me

[brianrayguitar]

@Andresbeatguy hahaha, many doubts? that's good.. ok, what would you like to know? B

[Andresbeatguy]

Oh my god Brian you were incredible I love the way you play on my opinion you are one of the best guitar players in the world

[mellenheadlaurieann]

The energy is infectious!

[quinnly]

What's funkier than a black marching band? Nothing!

[sylverngirl]

Waaaaaaaay too much fun!

[brianrayguitar]

@sylverngirl hey, thanks... you know what? it WAS way too much fun, they were both a pleasure to play with and I had some good laughs with the always funny Rick Nielsen. We submitted the track to the Grammys for consideration, Best Rock Instrumental too. thx

[elleneyegreen]

" they feel young for a moment "...........( back in the u.s concert film )

101% true

[Joyjoy1818]

Are you plotting another Les Paul tribute at the Roxy ?????

[brianrayguitar]

@Joyjoy1818 haha, by now you know we did a little blast of it in my song,

"I Found You" live at the Roxy with some high school kids on marching drums walkin in the crowd ~

[ThiraTurner]

Wow this is really good!

[BassPedal2009]

i no its a crime for me to forget the name of this song but its start at about :50

[rockerr12595]

@BassPedal2009 it's Johnny B Goode

[brianrayguitar]

@BassPedal2009 , no at :50 it's "Satisfaction" by the Stones.

[brianrayguitar]

@brianrayguitar thanks! glad you like it.. we had a blast and it was exciting to arrange, play on and produce it too.. check out my new free solo downloads at brianray.com! best, B

[rockerr12595]

@brianrayguitar it is? i thought "Satisfaction" started at 1:07. Oh well, whatever it was it rocked.

[brianrayguitar]

@rockerr12595 dude, sorry! that is the "chorus" of the first song, Johnny B good.. d'oh

[brianrayguitar]

Hahahaha, thanks, good question.. The other guy was there first! No worries, I would play nose flute just to be in the band,haha! I play lead on Letting Go, Get Back, The End and All My Lovin'.. thx B

[rockerr12595]

Brian Ray...why are you playing rhythm guitar for Paul McCartney and not lead?

[brianrayguitar]

@rockerr12595 plus, I get to play bass on hald of the songs, which is really fun. :-()

[rockerr12595]

@brianrayguitar haha nice, do you know if you guys are going to announce any more dates?

[brianrayguitar]

@rockerr12595 hmmmm, nothing official but check in at my site, sign up for news.. spam free, I promise u.

[rockerr12595]

@brianrayguitar k cool

[debjorgo]

@brianrayguitar - HaHa!! Some dumb F**k marked your reply as spam.

@dumbf**k The guitarist featured in this video was asked when he would be playing any more dates and he says to check his website. I think that's fair, dumbf**k.

[brianrayguitar]

@debjorgo hahahah, fair it is, thx! only cuz I don't rememeber my dates.. OCT 8th at the Roxy in LA or Sept 30th at the Mint in LA, both at 8 pm!

[Joyjoy1818]

Awesome performance !! Can't believe I missed it ..

[chinesecantdrive]

What was the song after the led zepp?

[brianrayguitar]

@chinesecantdrive "Surrender" by Cheap Trick, godfathers of power pop! that's the writer and guitarist of the band on my right in the video, Rick Nielsen.. thanks B

[chinesecantdrive]

@brianrayguitar Thanks man. By the way I saw McCartney in toronto on the Sunday.......needless to say one of the greatest shows I've ever seen!

[hermione066]

Whoa!

[mazsenior]

Loved the inflatable guitars!!!!

[CobHc311]

wow the dolphins pet knows how to play!!

[debjorgo]

Why am I just now seeing this? My Beatles connection isn't all it should be, I guess.

I'm just now listening to Brian's last album, Mondo Magneto. I'm liking it. I just kind of quick sampled each track when I first downloaded it. It seemed a little too pop at the time but I think I'm going to like it, listening to it turned up, blasting from my car.

[brianrayguitar]

@debjorgo thanks man! the new one just came out! check it out, it's bigger louder fast and better, hahaha!

[debjorgo]

@brianrayguitar I was going to pick your new album up. Your web page still says available very very soon and Amazon says it's out of stock.

I was going for the hard disc. I like cds the way you like(d) your vinyl.

[debjorgo]

@debjorgo - I figured it out. I have the new disc now. You have to click on the free download and then it gives you the oportunity to order the album.

[fepav]

The girl guitarist is Mickeal jackson's guitarist even if he died :( RIP

[GralGrievous]

The only thing I don't like about Orianthi is the "Buckethead" face she keeps all the time.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

Brian Ray is a good guitarist- he plays for Paul McCartney so you know hes good

[yerblues1968]

This is a Great Tribute in honor of the Legendary Les Paul. He would be proud. BTW, you are an excellent guitar player. No wonder Paul McCartney chose you to be in his band. I am so glad he did. Thanks.

[brianrayguitar]

@yerblues1968 hey thanks yerblues! we had a blast doing this tribute for the charity for Music in Schools .. glad you dug it, stay tuned for my new album this summer "This Way Up"

[martinblasick]

The coolest thing ever!!!! Go Brian Ray, go!!!

[BassPedal2009]

is anyone on the field actually playing??

[fatbackfunk]

@BassPedal2009 I was thinking the same thing.. And I actually don't think Rick, Brian or Orianthi are even playing live..Not that they couldn't.. I think it's just a pre-recorded track that you hear..There's no mic's on any of the guitar amps, which kind of confirms that..

[gochisox4696]

@fatbackfunk ARE YOU SERIOUS???!!!??? Brian Ray is one the guitarists that tours with Paul McCartney!! I just saw him and paul a few days ago in concert. He's got mad guitar skills along with rusty anderson.

[fatbackfunk]

@gochisox4696 Am I serious about how they're playing to tracks? or perhaps you misinterpreted or misread what I wrote? not sure.. Maybe you thought I meant they "weren't" capable of playing live? I could be wrong. Just thought I'd clarify just in case :) Anyhoo... yeah both Brian & Rusty are stellar players.. Awesome bass player(Brian) too.I've been fans of them and the rest of that band ever since they joined PM.. You should check out Brian's 1st solo record if you haven't already..

[mazsenior]

@fatbackfunk Those amps don't have a "line out" capability? Or could they be using a DI?

[fatbackfunk]

@mazsenior@mazsenior Well I'm pretty sure those Marshall's don't have any DI out.. and the guitars are plugged directly into the front of the amps as opposed to guitar>DI box>Amp..And I suppose you could go line out. But I doubt they're doing that.. It's just the production, the guitars sonically just really don't sound live. And a definite give away is right after 4:11 Rick is playing as if he's soloing but you don't hear any guitar.. It's really not uncommon to sync on these types of shows.

[mazsenior]

@fatbackfunk Thanks. I'd hate to think I'd made any assumptions about the live sound production without even being there. The bigger "giveaway" though, is the monitors....unless a few of them are wireless...LOL

[sheaferdka]

Love it. :D

[huzza18]

what is the song at 1:50 ? I here it so often but I dont know the title .

[sloroll]

@huzza18 Whole Lot Of Love - Led Zeppelin

[lewisshenry]

i love orianthiiiii

[Bosingr]

Good tribute! I wander if Les Paul ever met Orianthi before he passed away last year.

[12loick]

[johnnylray]

I love it! How about Brian and Rick doing a TV Guitar special? That would Rock I bet....Beats everything on TV these days! You Rock Brian!

[brianrayguitar]

that's a cool idea.. you should SEE Rick's warehouse of guitars.. they say it's under ground, below the white house.

[johnnylray]

Brian, Thank you for posting back ! Hope you have more videos that we can enjoy! Rock on! Ray- Rhode Island.

There are too many adjectives to describe this performance. Brilliant was the first to come to mind. (doesn't even touch it) Brian, you truly are genious and Les Paul would be standing tall with his mouth opened. Fantastic job by all!

[canadianstudmuffin]

How bout Rick and Orianthi? He's a god, she's reDUNKulous! and very cool to hang with. it was a blast to work with them.. and David Saltz, ABC and Stephen Ross, Dolphin's owner. ACE!. Caroline Galloway from Gibson is the one who made 100 Les Pauls magically appear in Miami!! Yessss! Rock.

[veggiecatt]

Brian, you guys were on fire!! That's the way those Les Pauls were meant to be played!! Very cool to see you passing along the gift of music to those kids!

Somewhere right now, Les Paul is smiling . . . :=)

[brianrayguitar]

Thanks for all of the generous killer comments!

Les Paul was a kind and gentle genius who made time for every fan's question and autograph... it's the least I could do to honor and thank him for how he has inspired me.

Brian

[Tomorrowmayrain]

That was GREAT !!!!

Loved the little kids on guitars .

What a great tribute to Les Paul .... he'd be very proud , i'm sure !
