[etguitar18]

I can't wait to get my Les Paul Traditional!!!!!! 1-2 weeks!!! :D :P

[RipzMan24]

I've also heard that this guitar is weight relieved so there's like 8 holes punched into the body but it doesn't make it chambered and it doesn't mess up the tone

[FuckJustinBieber6661]

lol 0:28 epic stare showdown >:)

[rockyjnr10]

Front Pickup sounds great!

[VideoGamerHD]

I will do anything for that guitar...ANYTHING.

[jdb89142]

Marty out of your Les Paul, Tele, and Strat which one is your personal favorite??

[theryan96]

hey Marty how much did that cost you and did you say that you bought it at guitarcenter?

[LesterPaul01]

what , they are putting EMG's in Les Pauls? Even the newest models get vintage pups.

[maggot6639]

isnt it a solid mahogany body, and a flamed maple top?

[soggywasabi]

@liam08123 no, its an 2008. he said that.

[ellis6507]

women tone :] cream

[1musicguitarandanime]

feel f-f-f-free LOL XD 2:30

[SuperMarioZombies]

would have been nice to compare the bridge pup with the tone rolled off vs the neck pup wide open.

[programmer4561]

[bripolar]

[okmer333]

because of you marty i bought the same color les paul only the standard 2008 model

I 'm loving the way it smells and sounds. and the grover locking tuners and are really sweet. Its worth every euro i spent on it. One of the best things from the US indeed.

I really love your site and your lessons. and im really starting to yam those pentatonics away thanks Marty

[BlackKightsLB9]

sick opening riff

[Z0S0The0utrider69]

1:04 ....rele?

[acdcyoyoer]

just to let you guys know this is also weight relived but it isint chamberd like the standard where all the body is carved the traditonal has nine holes right about where you put your arm to relieve the weight

[marvar1]

Seymour Duncan pickkups?

Gibson 57 classics are what comes in the Trad

[pentium3000]

[knackworsty007]

2:39

we saw your room : )

[LesterPaul01]

No, it's modeled after the 80's and early 90's LP's .

[lightningdownurpants]

Marty, how long have you been playing? Keep up the good work.



[LesterPaul01]

I'm gonna loan you a real overdrive pedal. And then you can put the one your using with the rest of the trash. IMO. LOL.

[buckkill12341]

I don't have that much money, their so damn expensive

[bridemusiccanada]

I just bought the les paul traditional faded honeyburst, 2011. Is this the same guitar as this?

[themalachijethro]

Is this the same guitar on the american idiot music video?

[cam01235]

nice guitar and riffs i will check out your other site

[cam01235]

nice guitar and riffs

[bloodfarts991]

awesome demo man.i want a les paul for my birthday sooo bad

[PopExpo]

les pauls sound so butt rock and cheesy. kinda one trick pony.

[LesterPaul01]

@PopExpo The player makes the guitar sound as you described it, cheesy.

[PopExpo]

@ererye most gibsons sounds fucking muddy as shit (except ones with p 90s). Fenders are more versatile. bottom line. 

[Mtc529]

If I make 10.000 youtube accounts and subscripe to you, will you give me that guitar? :(

[Z0S0The0utrider69]

@Mtc529 ive already tried that........didnt work :(

[TheJohncoltrane]

@ererye and I know what is good and what is not so fuck yourself , die with your vox , and suck your mother'S asshole

[SnowmanMassacre]

@TheJohncoltrane jesus christ dude, calm down... cool you got an opinion. lets just all love music. les pauls wouldnt be what they are today with out fender to build off of, and the same goes for fender. were lucky that we have both.

[TheJohncoltrane]

@ererye MON TABARNAK DE BATARD DE CRISS , first I'M from montreal so of course I'm gonna kill you first cause you american bastard believe you know everything , dude I have 7 stratocaster , 4 telecaster, 11 tube amps of all kind , orange , marshall fender amps devided by thirtheen anyway shit you could think of I have it cause I'm rich dude , and a come from a musician family my father a 3 les paul , 1 from the 58 original ,this is the only real good les paul I played , I played tons of gutiar

[TheJohncoltrane]

@ererye I think firt , that vox amp sucks unless you have the alnico blue speaker, and fuck off about versatility , every les paul sound same , there is no caracter , it 's only fat and midrange, I odn't say they aren't good , but a stratocaster is way more versatile than any fucking les paul

[TheJohncoltrane]

@ererye first I am a student , and I think gibson guitars are too expensive for what they are , fender are much better in my opinion they perfectly suit my style. and If I would buy a gibson les paul it would be only for fun , I have a sg standard and I think it is not worth its price

[cameraz99]

I have a Les Paul copy, which plays very nicely, but I'd give it up in a minute if I could get my old '68 Tele back.

[Alimohammed54]

YEAH JOE BONAMASSA!!!

[leopardgeckos134]

I would suck a dick for that guitar.

[PurpleHunter7]

Do you smoke pot? 

[TheJohncoltrane]

awesome guitar, simply WAY TOO EXPENSIVE

[black0raven666]

2000$ $_$

[CuChuFLais4321]

in my younger years when my playing was a more agressive style I went with the Gibson Les Paul, now I play lots of Blues and tend to favor the Fender Strat, they are both great guitars.....

[MrAVTN]

the best guitar !!!!

[poptop22]

Which knob is the tone? : (

[shootest69]

@poptop22 The two farthest away from your hand while you're playing are the tone knobs and the volumes are on top of each other.

[soho2014]

I really like the look, sound and feel of that guitar. It's so beautiful.

[gibsonsggeni]

im saving up to an gibson les paul rigth now i got the gibson sg standard at my time but do you guys think i should get the les paul?

[PurpleHunter7]

@gibsonsggeni yea

[TheVicman1997]

Les Paul = GOD OF GUITARS

[4937645]

They don't put modern pickups in Les pauls. They are 57' classics.

[djsomar1]

marty this is chambered?

[metalvampire660]

damn, i love this guitar. if i could ever get my hands on one, i'd rock the hell out of it, haha!

[edzep79]

beautiful.he knows how to handle it too.

[xxPunKxxForeveRxx]

just the basic tube amp = a $2000 dlls amp xD

[ps3ncHaRLiE]

thumbs up if you just sat staring at this beautiful guitar =)

[tangypasta]

sounds like its chambered, dont like them imo cuz it reduces the sustain of the les paul.

[4937645]

@tangypasta not chambered weight relieved...............it's still heavy as lead.......

[RelaxNplay64]

weird burst

[4937645]

how much coin for one of those??

[timrocket2]

@4937645 about 2 coins!!!!!

[jeffcasey1957]

its a 1959 les paul standard copy the color is actulay burst if you open up the back it is orange paper caps pickups are alnico

[JackHutt23]

That is some sweat gibson if i had the money i would buy that straight nice tone and looks

[4937645]

Marty, a great guitar deserves a great  overdrive pedal

[4937645]

you were on a roll until you said line shi- I mean line 6. what did you do with your trademark Heritage??

[samnovak100]

@4937645 he probably still has it...it's not u buy a new guitar and get rid of one

[4937645]

@samnovak100 well, duh, I just got use to him playing his heritage................

[4937645]

Marty if I had that beaut. you could spit on me and I would not be offended. I would smile and then jam till hell freezes over.................

[avrilfan1234546]

what kind of pick you use in this video?

[KaptainKwasnik]

Hey Marty you gave a way a strat, an SG, and a Jaguar! PLEASE let me know when you're giving away that beautiful guitar!

[greensoundroom]

Great Sounding Les Paul!!!!

What guitar string gauge used in this guitar?

Do you prefer using something like gauge 11 strings to match with the 50's style beefy neck or simply stays in gauge 10 for the balance.

[greensoundroom]

Great Sounding Les Paul!!!!

What guitar string gauge used in this guitar?

[werewolvesofmohnton]

he has

[That1314Dude]

Hey do you have any vids of you just jamming the Les Paul that isn't a lesson??

[goldenaxeband]

The tone down thing it's a good tip!

[sciorts]

at 8:14, what scale is that from? What chord is it over?

[TheMuseDay]

Beggining look like fade to black from metallica !

[lonewolf604]

gibson and marty?! BOOOOOO where's your heritage :D

[martyzsongs]

@lonewolf604 I love my heritage.

[jjulch]

The Pickups are Gibson '57 Classics.  (PAF with the bridge being the hotter type). Mr. Duncun invented them while working for Gibson...

[richardlpalmer]

Great demo/review, Marty! Silly question, but is there a middle position for the switch? Meaning, is it a 2-way or 3-way?

[LedZeppelin827]

marty congrats on the traditional! ive got mine in sunburst but in lefty. but the 57 classic pickups are made by gibson, not seymour duncan

[DrAbstracked]

I'm seriously curious how many guitars this guy have?

[Baphomet3010]

@DrAbstracked no more than 5 i bet

[tonyhq1992]

@Baphomet3010 haha he does have more than five

[tonyhq1992]

@Baphomet3010 haha he does have more than five :les paul, strat, martin, sg, telecaster, and a heritage and i think even more but not sure

[SuperSajkoSimon]

the les paul is the one guitar i would never play. love the sound but i cant stand the body. its so unpractical. its the only guitar that seems to never work with a guitar strap. it just hops right off no matter how high or how low you set the strap. thank gibson for the SG and thank fender for the greatest guitars ever made.

[MegaFenderdude]

at 0:16 it looks like he has boobies over the guitar XD

[Bloosee]

Gee thanks Marty, because of your little demo, my bank account is about to shrink...

[MrCwillies]

nothing against you marty, but maybe u should be more adventurous with your choice of guitars, cause at the moment it just goes fender, gibson. fender, gibson..... strat, tele, les paul etc.

[SaulHudsonGibson]

ahh, i love the traditional, because i have 1, cept mines in desert burst, and it looks like urs is in ice tea? still nice

[Esc717]

for every one you bought lessons from marty this is where the money has gone !! lol nice guitar

[tahoman1616]

my ears are having an orgasm right now

[Ghabriel123]

the best guitar in my opinion is the gibson les paul slash appetite for destruction. its absolutely gorgeous,plus the duncan zebras combined with a mahogany (or whatever :P) body gives the guitar that brilliant slash tone,with some good clean tones to

[ManMartin]

What about the middle position? Thanks for the darker lead tone.

[SuperDuran14]

Can you upload how to play seasons in the abyss by slayer plzz..

[aiween1]

teach us flight of the bumblee bee plzzzz

[SharingonMadara]

Yay the Gibson Les Paul. Undoubtedly the GREATEST GUITAR

[Travis1338]

Ahhhh I love that vintage sound!!

[01Justin010]

more john frusciante !!! :D

[kenny19361]

is it with humbucker?

[SharingonMadara]

@kenny19361 yes

[MrObame]

ive had the same 100 dollar guitar now for 4 years, its getting really worn out.

That Les Paul, is my ultimate dream, ive been lookng at it for 2 years now, but i cant afford it =(

[bigfry1979]

@MrObame Epiphones are just as good. I'm in the same boat as you. I think i paid 800 for my Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

[Crimes0fPassion]

@bigfry1979

I agree, i bought my Epiphone Les Paul Standard for only £200 quid =D Used but in perfect condition and got 50quid off cuz he was my guitar tecaher =]

love that guitar and i reckon it could match up with a gibson!

oh and great video marty!! =]

[popomczowzow]

@MrObame

you should get some money. then you could afford it.

I know, I'm a genius.

[Bluebuthappy182]

@MrObame Find your self a good second hand guitar man you don't have to spend a fortune for a decent guitar. And the sad fact is it's not the guitar that makes the music it's you a good player can take a cheap guitar and make it sound great a bad player can take the best guitar in the world and ...... well you get the idea.l

[vortexers5]

@MrObame look at some epiphone les pauls it is about the same guitar just a differnt name basically and its alot cheaper than gibson les pauls

[PoorMansPlato]

@vortexers5 Epiphone is Gibson; the difference in price is because the Epiphone is not hand made, it is assembly line mass produced. The end result is that the guitar may need some tweeks to come alive like the Hand crafted Gibson Les Paul version. You get what you pay for :p

[stephen0093]

@PoorMansPlato gibsons use better quality stuff to

[dog5244]

@MrObame I just play a gig or two to get my Guitar's.

[guitarkid222]

@MrObame look on craigslist, i found a les paul double cutaway for 450 bucks. and im 13..... ebay too. trust me, everyone finds a good deal. it has a crack in the back of the headstock, but dont fear those. its perfectly fine

[TheF86Sabre]

@MrObame Go to your local store and do the monthly plan it something like 50 60 buks for 5 years its worth it dude

[moimasiclat]

@MrObame buy an epiphone then :) then if you can already afford it..buy a gibson :D

[jeffcasey1957]

@moimasiclat gibson bought out epiphone

[grayshadow4]

@jeffcasey1957 No, gibson never bought epiphone. Gibson made epiphone. All epiphone is is a division of gibson

[RobotFollower]

@grayshadow4 What! You really know shit about epiphone. Google it god dammit.

Epiphone's actually a greek company, that used to make/build buzoukis MANY years ago.

[moimasiclat]

@RobotFollower you're right.. :) and i epiphone was founded 1873 and gibson was founded 1902 i think??..Gibson bought Epiphone on some time..haha because they were rivals on making archtop guitars lol

[tingly7654321]

@MrObame epiphone makes a nice les paul for about 500-1000

[SJN11Bucks]

@MrObame Their are a lot of guitars that are made 10 times better than any Les Paul on the market today for half the price.

[ledzepfan02]

Great but could u do some lessons on skills jimmy page used and ways he used them pls Marty, there are no lessons in YouTube of jimmy page's skill this would be helpful for many :)

[weeman222333444]

Upload a vid of u just playin

[DisgaeaDelinquint]

@weeman222333444 look at Martyzsongs he has a few songs of him and sometimes someone else playing. :)

[tMattLZ]

Jimmy Page inspired lessons maybe?!?!

[Made0910]

playing the guitar is just like breathing for marty

[ImJoaoMayer]

You got mail at 2:57

[NickPech]

show off ;-)

[manifestchrist]

Sexy goatee marty! ha, it grew back!

[TheSnakeEyes8]

What's your favorite guitar that you own?

[eipylOh]

The trad ain't solid body, it's got swiss cheese holes in it. Awesome paul though, looks a helluva lot like mine :)

[amast3rMind69]

@eipylOh you should get some bumblebee caps for that puppy. it will clean up tone... :)

[thefaketahare]

hey marty since your using that les paul can we see some vids were you crank out some super sweet and smooth slash tone? ala november rain maybe?

[SchelluS]

the pick ups are not seymour duncan, they are gibson classic 57.
