  • I wanna see some of your stuff

  • u are the most solid youtube player i have ever heard man. of all the good guys i heard, ur the best. how u do that man? lots of practice? that playing smooth and fast with emotion how u do that?? i want that when the end of the world is coming, i want u to play on top of a building while the earth is going down!!!!

  • Dude fuckin sick best improve i heard on youtube combining metal shred with blues beautifully

    Great work

  • who disliked ffs

  • Great post ....like that you played it slower !!! Check out my site . My black Strat has the "Nailbomb" in the Bridge.

  • Thumbs down as its tedious and predictable whoobly goo

  • you are drones and trolls that lack the ability to crticise this guy objectively. Instead, you crawl to him and view him as invincible. You are mindless fuks. Also, you mark comments down etc is that your idea of democracy? Youy capitalist shit hypocrites

  • Tail wrapped LP.. Sounding great!

  • Hey Sam, great version, love the tone of your Les Paul, did a version of this tune myself! Cheers mate!

  • i love the finish on you guitar whats it called?

  • lol, successful troll was successful

    looks like he got u guys

  • Superb. 

  • what pick are you using? Great playing

  • just awesometone and awesome skills! really great sound!

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY

    Wow, you really live up to your screen name Don't you?

  • So awesome, man! Wow!  I need to add some structure to my mindless pentatonic shredding. This is great playing. ... Not sure what to make of that weird comment from Captain Douche...

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY It's not often in life that calling a guy "A douche" is factual and also completely fair. Hmm.

  • Love your vids man, thinking hard about getting a set of Nailbombs, you have the best Bare Knuckle demo's on youtube by far. That one with the camera mounted on the headstock made me happy inside. Ozzy-Mr.Crowley, ZZtop-Just Got Paid, SRV-Telephone Song, Kansas-Carry On My Wayward Son, Lamb of God-Walk With Me In Hell, Queensryche-Jet City Woman, Pantera-Im Broken, Dire Straits-Sultans of Swing, Gary Moore-Still Got the Blues, would all be cool ideas to jam too as a backing track. Cheers bro.

  • Zakk Wylde must be one of your influences haha.

  • O.O Very, very nice. :D

  • snortin whissskeeeh and drinkin' cocaine

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY because he played guitar? I dont understand can you please come back to this video and justify what you are saying because no one here understands

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY

    I've met Sam and he is a very pleasant, sincere and humble young man who has worked hard to be able to play the way he does, you have never met him and come out with an outrageous comment like that? Seriously, I think you need help.

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY So you expect him to hone his skills to a T and then expect him to play near nothing? That makes no sense, this is just his style, leave him alone.

  • i'd love to see what you could do with paradise city. specifically the outro. anyways, great stuff man!

  • @coulsonsam87 Dude, he's a communist. Don't worry, haters gonna hate. You're one of the best man, you get respect from respected musicians. Don't sweat it.

  • Often, most young players just favor speed sweeping arpeggios and it becomes tedious after a few minutes of hearing the same sweeps played over and over and faster and faster...... Jeeze!!

    It is quite refershing to hear a young player that actually has a sense of well structured melodic solo playing, like he is actually playing the instrument instead of practicing arpeggios.

    Thanks for videos......your are a great player mate.

  • Amazing tone, licks and tasteful shred...so much above what so many will never understand, excellent phrasing and breathing, and an inspiration to many players like me..... Me being Lydian2000 of the MLF saluting you;-).

  • Good playing.What amp are you using? Effects? You should try a good wah instead of switching all the time. Check out Justin Derrico's 'Maniac' vid on here.

  • Listen up:

    Sam is a Great guitarist, understand that, far far better than me.

    The comment was made about ego. It does not hurt anyone to be taken down a few notches at times, as a matter of fact, it's a good thing. Invite criticism of yourself-accept it, learn from it.

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Just because he likes to shred, doesn't mean he's got a huge ego that needs to be kept in check. From what I've seen in his videos and comments he seems like a real decent guy, someone you want as your buddy. A nice, down to earth guy who likes to shred. I love to shred too (regardless off the fact that I'm awful at it) but that doesn't mean I'm an egomaniac now does it?

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY

    If you like criticism that much, why did you disable comments at all your own crappy guitar videos???

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Why are you so intent on bashing this guy? He's doing his thing (and doing it well I might add) but you just seem to have a penchant for knocking on him. It's quite the crime dude...there's no reason I can imagine ...unlesss he fucked your mom and now your sp pissed off you feel like taking it out on him via Youtube. You're just taking it a bit too far .....Speaking of crime:

    “Crime is a product of social excess”...you should know the author...

  • @PUIALALI where are the guitar vids on your channel? There are no guitar vids, so you have no right to speak about all this. You are a stupid cunt, that's precisely what you are

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY I didn't realize I had to display my guitar skills or te even be a player to have an opinion. I don't know how they do it where you come from sir but it is obviously different.

  • Way to fuckin' slow man, But amazing tone and style. You're awesome dude!

  • What a piece of shit comment from that last poster who I won't even mention...obviously jealous and wishes he could play. Great work Sam...love how your passion shows and sounds because THAT is what we are hearing and seeing!!

  • @ferglick you are a silly cunt that crawls to old Sam here, dick suker

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Perhaps the "Drones and Crawlers" are better placed to make their own minds up!

    Your comments seem indicative of someone who is more akin to criticism for criticism sake.

    I see YOUR comment as more "cheap" than any of those that have the ability to spot "real" talent.

  • by the way, your riffs on this piece had been hammered to death, but no doubt, the little nobodies here who say "cool" and "awesome" will indeed be impressed. Try to keep it original if you can, theres too many Johnny Winters around, but there's only one of him alive right?

  • its amusing wtaching you fools "crawl" to this guy in the vid, it's really funny. I started playing in 1975 while you little malesteenie clones mummys boys were not even thought of yet. You are a total Epic joke lol. You are non-thinking losers that crawl to other guitarists, you are nothing but unimaginative trolls

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY what kind of bastard insults someone for something he didn't do, apologizes for it then insults them again. Serious bastardage there.

    and seriously, yes there were some great guitarists in the 70's but yes, they weren't as unassuming as you say they were. Take page, angus young started out in the 70's as did EVH

    and its been a while since the 70's faggot

  • @Xidkwhat2callmyselfX you are a cock sucking piece of ignorant shit. Hope you and your pedophile family get the chop you wannbe malmsteen clone fukhead

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY I seriously can't tell you how much of a fag you are

  • @Xidkwhat2callmyselfX you do not know what to call yourself? lol how about pedo kiddy- fuker to begin with? Fuckin sick fuck

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY I'm just not going to say anything else besides Sam Coulson is an amazing guitarist and that anyone who wants to sound good should look up to him

  • @Xidkwhat2callmyselfX go die hard immediately

  • subscribed, watched, and wondered.

    1:27 - 1:33, 1:47 - 1:53.

    its seems that those are your standard improv runs and Ive seen it quite a few times in ure videos. Whats the scale involved? I guessing its Pentatonic.

  • hey Sam, got a question!

    How do you think will those Nailbombs cover stuff like Iron Maiden or Scorpions?

  • @COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY no they didnt, nugent and page just to name a few pompous as hell

  • Awesome stuff. What gauge pick do you use?

  • you play really good!!!!!!!

  • Dude, great playing. It is worth seeing it, the whole video.

  • @fanqueen emabrassing crawler

  • @coulsonsam87 no never, only seen your work on YT. If you put yourself out there you must expect criticism. many of you guys, Ben Wiltshire. RiffGuy etc etc are great guitarists but you also have egos. At times it can all get a bit much

  • Dude you are a fantastic guitar player. Your playing is very tasteful, reminds me of Gary Moore and ignore the comments made by "COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY". Im pretty sure the same comments were made about Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Gary Moore, and Pat Travers back in the 60s and 70s. Keep jamming and thanks for sharing your videos.

  • @gmlasam Thanks, but Sam is better. actually COMPHILO does not really care any longer. its just about drinking coffee lol, that's how serious it gets

  • i don't know why 4 people would dislike Sam, Mr. Sam is doing us a big Goddamn favor by posting his videos and i like it and i really really really do appreciate.

    THANKS A LOT SAM

  • hey man. your videos sold me the Nailbomb neck. i already have the nailbomb bridge and love it.

    do you have the VHII or The mule on your guitars?

  • smoking hot man, nice style!

  • Damn' man i love that tone!!

  • really good sounds kinda like Joe bonamassa

  • Please tell me that's a Dunlop Tortex Jazz pick I see. :) Awesome playing, by the way! :)

  • You really GREAT!

    I wrote a short reply to your another Vid.

    I`m gonna practice with your vid, bro!

  • D: that. was. amazing.

  • Love the playing and definitely the shirt ;)

  • Hey there, anyone actually ahah, ddo pickups really effect the guitar? I have a stock toai loverock with stock pickups, Im not experienced in gear, so I dont know what to look for! are these pickups good for metal, blues, soft blues and clean stuffs?

  • MY FACE IS SHRUGS OF SKIN LAYING ABOUT THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!

    oh, and ALL you need to know about vibrato is right here.

  • Great job, man! Just out of interest, are those the Ceramic or Alnico Nailbombs you got there?

  • Im still trying to figure out in my head how you get your notes so perfect and smooth !!! that is a monster tone btw dude :)

  • @sparklijelibean Thanks David! You're the man

  • that bend at 4:10 almost made me shit my pants, man! bravo and very well done, man. keep the rock alive bro!

  • Hey Sam you Rock!!

    You have an incredible pickin, fast and clean at same time

    Wow I can't stop to listen you !!

    Great work man !!

    Mac

  • You give Mr. Travers a run for his money! Your performance just smokes!

  • wow... i guess you like zakk wylde

  • Duuude, you need to make lessons for us guitarists that suck at lead like me. Once again awesome tone and playing. Do us all a favor and get a record deal and make one hell of an album. \m/ rock on man.

  • That vibrato of yours... Quite depressing i must say !

  • Amazing !!

    You play very well, fast and clean at the same time and your Les Paul gently weeps :-)

    Great compliments !!

    Mac

  • i would give up everything i have ( except my life, my friends, my love, my parents and my guitar ) if i could play like you !! AWESOME

  • Awesome i think you have just made me buy a set of nailbombs ...... are these the alnicos or the ceramics ?

  • Which do you like more les paul or strat?

  • zakk wylde influence

  • Very good playing!This Guitar sings ,great sound and beautiful Les Paul.

  • MADE THAT GUITAR YOU BITCH ;/

  • why arnt you famous....

  • You know he's about to engage his super-shred mode whenever he switches to the neck pup

  • Wow!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Are u tuned a half step down??

  • Neck pickups has NO definition and it's muddy :(

  • Great video love the tone!! But have to say that is one dam fine Les Paul! Keep rocking!

  • Hells ya!!!!!

  • what are u soloing in!?

  • Nice licks sir.. Your picking is so great

  • Watching you is better than any king of drug!

  • is your les paul a 60s slim neck

  • wow your absolutley fxxxin brill

  • Man you are amazing...I ve been watching ur videos for a long time!Can i ask u something as a beginner??u have a lot of speed licks in ur playing are these licks ''taken'' by some guitarists because i want to embody to speed licks to my playing :P

  • Personally I prefer to drink my whiskey rather than snort it.

  • Wow man you really are mad with that pickup switch.. haha.Awesome job

  • How often do you change strings, would you avoid sweating i.e. caffeine, moist palms? Sometimes I think my strings get a bit abrasive which makes my calluses die quick

  • Cool!

  • Dude, you are god.

  • what scales do u use man? Just Awsome Work

  • Solid vibe and great t-shirt!

  • who's the one fag that disliked this?

  • damn, how long have you been playing, and how old are you? i wanna compare my level to you.

  • Very skilfull

  • You remind me of a guy I use to jam with some 30 years ago in California. he was from Texas.He had the real clean distinctive blues riffs as you do. Use to drive me insane with how he could walk up and down the fret board an just flow so easily just as you do... You made that song your own. Great job man!

  • Bravo!

  • siiiick!!

    could you post the soundtrack you used?

    cheers from a fellow canadian

  • I was first introduce to this great song by Phil X- This was a great cover, subbed.

  • @superlou1s Me to dude

  • hey sam, could ya give me your specs for those nailbombs i am going to purchase a calibrated set myself. also when you installed these pickups did you change the pots and capacitors or just use the originals that were in the guitar. thanks for the help and keep up the great work. ps could ya do a cover of purple haze ( jimmy hendrix) cheers rock and roll.

  • Do you play with the tone rolled off on the neck pickup? sounds really dark whenever you switch!

  • MAn, you got some really nice moves you just took us through Sam!I really like your take on pat Travels old classic-Great sounding set up with excellent use of switchingas well.I firmly believe thats how a Gibson should sound bro

    You are a fucking riff MONSTER !

  • @revoluketion thanks mate! keep on rocking!!

  • @coulsonsam87 do you find that transcribing songs by ear help your improvisation?

  • @revoluketion the irony is, that while that may be how a gibson should sound, those are bareknuckle pickups... get your act together gibson :P

  • hey sam thanks for the reply just one more question for ya m8 those bare knuckle pick ups you use the nailbombs do ya recommend those i have been reading up on them and also watching your vids and they sound awesome. was just wondering if they are versitile enough to cover a wide range of tones for various styles of music. my fav bands would be ac/dc , pearl jam, metallica, black sabbath , guns and roses , and others.

  • sam have watched loads of your videos m8 and i have to say mind blowing stuff. m8 you should be famous with that god given talent. i am only a beginner at playing guitar was hoping for some good tips on the best things to start out to learn and practice.

  • @billygrfc1690 Hey man, thanks for the comment. My best beginner tip is listen to good guitar players and they will rub off on you! My favourites this week are, Gary Moore, Paul Gilbert, Brian May, Peter Green, Walter Trout, Micheal Schenker and sooo many moore. Another great tip is play along to your favourite CDs, can there be a better way than practically jamming with the greats? most importantly have fun, because after all what could be more fun than playing the electric guitar?

    Rock n Roll

  • how do u come up with those sick runs?

  • wow i love this sound.

  • i want your les paul

  • doug aldrich pick ups ?¿?

  • Smokin brotha!!

  • SWEET COVER. SWEET SOUND! Excellent String Slinging!!!

  • I've been waiting so long for you to make a new video with that guitar.. 5/5

  • Sweet...

  • can i have the backing track pleease?!

  • omfg... you totally kick ass! Keep it up! What's up with the Pickups? What are their indications?

  • Sam I have that same (wrap over) stringing on my les paul but the tailpiece is tilting forward a little will this cause damage to my guitar?

  • @hospitalhunting yeah it shouldnt cause any problems. the reason i do it is to take a little tension out of the strings, this makes for easy bending! just make sure you tailpiece is cranked right the way down to the body, this improves sustain. Rock n Roll

  • @coulsonsam87 Thank's I already have it that way! what's your pickup hight?

  • @coulsonsam87 what guage do you use and what amp are u using ure fucking mad good man

  • Sam I have that same (wrap over) stringing on my les paul but the tailpiece is tilting forward a little will this cause damage to my guitar? do ya know?

  • That harmonic at 4:32 is just insain!!!!!

    I love how clean you make the fast shredding. Absolutely A+

  • 4m28 - 4m32 just amazing !!

  • Nice tone & playing mate ! , what video cam do u use ... the sound and picture quality are excellent :-)

  • do you play in a band, you have the chops to be a pro, make it happen!!

  • nice licks dude!

  • Sam, great stuff that we are now getting quite use to......

    I think that the "Les Paul" sound suits your playing best............ really full and seems to capture your "feel" slightly better than your other axes (though you have MANY!)

    Bareknuckles tamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yo bro awesome soloin'!

  • As they are saying, great to see the Les Paul. The best guitar ever. Fantasic playing. Would love to see some live band videos...keep it going> A*********

  • Sam how about a little Leslie Wests Mississippi Queen.

  • Nice improv!!! by the way...its a dunlop jaz III pick?

  • @CukuSk8 thats right man, i like them because they are sharp

  • @coulsonsam87 Yeah! i use it too and its a great pick!!! Good sound with lot of attack.

    Cheers!!!

  • Sam,

    Fanatastic as usual.

    As per your request I would like to see you do versions of: Robin Trower's "Day of the Eagle"

    Gary Moore- Cold Day in Hell

    Gary Moore - Cut it Out

    Indigenous - Water

    Thin Lizzy - Cowboy Song

  • cool jam man, nice vibrato!

  • tasty playin mate...How have you got the action set up on your Les Paul?

  • @toz71 Cheers mate, I like my action deadly low! Its very important to have big frets aswell so i can still get under the string and give it some attitude on the bends

  • Sad but True solo in your own way would be cool to see. the original as kinda nice bluesy feel ;) I'd love to hear some nailbombs (got some in my lp custom too) over a more mordern track ;)

    oh and regards from France and rock on, nice web jams with riff guy and others ;).

  • I thought you had retired that Beautiful Les paul! i remember your demo of the bare knuckles still makes me drool every-time i hear it!!!

  • @coulsonsam87 If you want, add me my GT: GEETARGUY39

  • Wow dude, thats some wicked sound and playing! Amazing, really digged this!

  • got the les paul back i see

  • Amazing jammin mate, as usual!

  • Stunning.... as usual.

  • oops sorry about the double post.

  • I agree sam you sound better on your LP...It's got more soul.

    Still waiting on another Jimmi vid with your white tele.

  • I agree you sound better on your LP...its got more soul...still waiting on another Jimi vid with a strat.

  • You have the best right hand! Could you tell me more about your technique? And then a little video ....

  • Hey dude you gotta make a video on how you get your killer tone!!

    Keep the videos coming!

    I love your rock soloing it's exciting. To me your playing is like Zakk Wylde/Slash.

    U rock man!!

  • why not try doing a smoke on the water improv? *not sure what improv's you have done lol*
