  • I listened to one of your videos, liked it a lot. Listened to another, then another, then ... young fella, you are thoroughly entertaining and mesmerizing. Thanks for puttin' this stuff up, Sam. Really.

  • Awesome! you are a master man! what amp are you playing on this video?

  • Sam You Got It Brother chase the dream!!!!!

  • They ignore this guy and put fag bag Justin Beiber on stage in front of thousands of people?

    Frigging idiots.

    I guess it's true.

    It's not who you know, it's who you blow.

  • I'm a vocalist for 37 years and I live in California let me know if you want to hook up I'd love to put a band back together with a young cat like you..jam in..keep making the faces it come with the territory brother

  • amazing playing, but the faces have to go

  • Damn. .. Very nice. Love the phrasing and your vibrato and bends are the shit!

  • you are really really good man, and no disrespect at all...but damn its hard to watch you antics as you play....lol...so dramatic I get uncomfortable

  • Awesome!!!! Feeling , Technique , Tone, SOUND...MUSIC!

    You're great , Sam!

  • Great version.

  • this is one TY user who will not crawl to the likes of you, you need to get off your pedastol

  • Great phrasing man! What pickups do you have in that Strat?

  • Jason Segal records himself playing Guitar at age 18.

  • great version!!

  • Do honestly you play with so much soul plus you sound amazing. I wish it was you instead of Justin Bieber that people listened to!

  • dominatin' that strat, dude! the 'f' faces are hilarious!!! haven't seen a video of yours that i haven't liked or taken somethin' from... HUGE ups, man! keep killin' it!

  • Dude was awesome. Paul G in total guitar magazine was taking about him in this months issue. Or maybe last months (I'm poor) I wonder what video he specifically meant. Either way this dude is a beast and he was just flexing' Skills galore. Jimi would have liked that. Hells bells!!!

  • great playing!

    but your guitar face looks simulated xD

  • @coulsonsam87 incredible. what are you playing through?

  • @coulsonam87 incredible. what are you playing through?

  • i can tell your a metal guitarists with the tone and riffs. but it was original so i liked it man

  • hey sam! please do a guthrie govan jam!

  • Nice playing it's just too bad that you just couldn't help yourself going into "shread" mode :-)

    you can play very fast WE GET IT

  • hands down dude, trully awesome!!!;)

  • hope to see you live on stages soon. Great playin'!

  • Brilliant Guitar playing man, but can i just point out....... watch his face throughout the video, it would be the greatest thing ever if someone edited it so it looked like you were sat on the toilet, the facial expressions are insane.

  • You use a overdrive or a fuzz ? What model of each ?

  • some one put this guy in a famous band already

  • why for the love of god are you on youtube??? should be infront of 30000 ppl man...

  • Sam your my favorite guitar player hands down.

  • a master at play:)

  • That's really funny that Sam called out "gargano3000" and he closed his account down!!! That's just great!!!

  • My mind exploded at 1:00. You are a monster guitarist AWESOME PLAYING!

  • Hey Sam check out this months Total Guitar where you are cited as being the best guy on the tube and what a leading guitarist is currently listening to and enjoying!

    Must make you proud! He's right you are damned good!

  • i like that washburn jumbo in the back ground!!!! awesome work!

  • seriously excellent ...well done !

  • nice playing! would you recommend the am special hss for SRV/Hendrix tone?

  • Comment removed

  • GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Still my favorite. More Jimi!

  • Made it your own...and that's exactly how it should be done! Great job! there's only one Hendrix...no need in sounding like all the other people copying him! Great job!!

  • :59-1:06 where/how did you learn that lick or set of licks? i NEEED to learn that. Im trying to branch out into every style of playing and this is a style so i'm gonna need to know how you learned that. lol i sound like ill shoot you if you dont tell me. but seriously teach me your ways of playing!

  • Whoa! This is really good man!!

  • nice feel and sounds like hendrix...much better...just wondering how come youre not using a wang bar?

  • your the king.

  • What distortion pedal do you use?

  • i still here abit of sam coulson in this hendrix playing... and i like it :0

  • WTF is going on here! How long have you've been playing guitar? I feel retarded.

  • Hey much respect again! Clearly genuinely felt and definitely appreciated here. If you don't mind - what gauge do you use?

  • @leftyzappa thanks man. I use 9 - 42

  • @coulsonsam87

    What model strat is that . What pick ups & what string brand and what guage ??

  • @leftyzappa Shame about that LP you affixed the camera to...you don't seem to have a shortage of guitars though. =) If you can get your ears on it - find the Atlanta Pops 1970 he did. It is like listening to what acid feels like.

  • aww I was hoping for a more adult themed clip looking at the title ;P

  • Really nice Hendrix'ish tone. What gear did you use for this? Awesome playing as well

  • hey sam dude, could you maybe post a video lesson of how to move around on the fretboard so well between postisions, i feel asthough a am missing links, and would really like a lesson on the fill you do at like 1:20

  • hey, are you mouthing the notes you are playing as you play them... like as if you were about to sing em? Cause i do that too... hahaha helps me find the most melodic phrasing i guess... kinda like im singing through the guitar or somethin!

    Besides that, your awesome man!, you should check out my channel, idk if your into Clapton, but i have some awesome 15 min Cream jams that i always find truly inspirational! Im sure youd appreciate em lol

  • dude this sounds like stevies version more than it sounds like jimis (fine by me i like stevies better). keep rockin son!

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!!

  • Holy fuckin' shit.. Ending was epic. Had to scroll down a bit to watcg the guitar and your hands only lmao but your playing is amazingly clean.

  • whats that other electric guiatr behind i love that dam thing

  • Great job!!!! Play it the way you feel it!!!

  • Sam,

    From what Ive seen, you are a great guy and genuinely gifted player. U got mad skills.

    BUT, when you upstage the creator of the song just because u can? Cmon man. Make mature choices. Create something to earn your street credibility.

    You have all the tools. Make it happen.

    Good luck buddy.

  • Rock on Sam! Great improv, and I like your guiter, I have the same one XD.

  • smoooooth

  • sounds super!...so clean... and catchy! 

  • that was amazing dude!

  • whats the acoustic on the left?

  • OMFGGGGGGG ,, i lUV YOU MAN u SATISTFY MY PLAYIN... inspirational as well , ur style just blows MA mind and teases it with pleasuree , :DDDD gives me the fkin shiverss , of course its different from hendrix's style of playin btw... er ones got their way of playin,,, way too much respect forr you !!!!!!

  • @coulsonsam87 so... Hendrix gave you his Guitar powers. xD

  • This is for that unfortunate guitarist that critisized Sam getting into this song. A Jimi Hendrix Quote "Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel".

    Luckily for all of us who can feel it, Sam has no problem in either.

  • Hey man! You make that strat wailll! Anyways, your defnately my favorite youtube player and I think it would be awesome for some feedback on my videos if you have any spare time. Thanks man

  • Man, first, this sounds great. Great, man. Fucking way to play. Vibratos and bends are awesome.

    Second, let me ask you: can you give some advices for me. I play, but im in the begin.

    Thanks

  • This is one really great version of Voodoo Child. Cranked up loud, part 2:34 through 2:55 is very mesmerizing also, 

  • just wondering what you use for the backing track mate? hardware, software, origin of backing track...?

  • sitting down and playing is wrong

  • @gargano3000 Sam can do it sitting down or standing up. In fact if you go to the jamsearch website and click on Sam Coulson you can see Sam jamming about three feet up in the air. Some people are just naturals. Go figure.

  • Your trademark crazy-picking didn't seem to fit so well in this song all the time, but the song itself was amazing! Awesome use of dynamics, and just overall it was superb.

  • and just saying ur on my guitar heroes playlist on my computer

  • Good job!!!!

  • any chance of some seasonal rock- I want to hear your interpretation of some Christmas songs- let's get into the spirit and put something warming into your tea to put you in the mood. lol

  • what's with the face's man??? xDDDD ;))

  • @TheLxoDl It’s sort of like a musical orgasmic trip. Ever been so involved in something that your body becomes part of the process? Take a look at like Stevie Ray Vaughan videos or Jimi Hendrix or Joe Bonamassa or just about any great guitarist. If you really want to see some wild faces check out Steve Vai. And it’s not just facial expressions, it can be body movements also just like an athlete concentrating on whatever he’s attempting. It is not something done on purpose for theatrics.

  • jesus the bit from 2.05 to 2'10 is fuckin soooo funny the dudes at work today pissed 1 said he looked like a wheel chair user lol we nearly died! x

    more vids please dude i'm wearing this 1 out

  • hehe his funny faces made my day!! XDD,i can't stop laughing at this video

    I shown it every person in da house and we are laughing out loud XDD

    Best playing face in the world for sure... Sam pls ,do more movies like this ^^

  • @gargano3000 So why don't you post a video showing me how it should be done? go on I dare you!

  • @coulsonsam87 no need i have videos of me playing i like to play the 1s ppl avoid wait until tomo lhsn crosstown traffic etc i'm not havin a go but i'm sick of that tone listen to hendrix at woodstock thats a tone plus there is too much bullshit blues!

    if you notice i have subscribed and i'd rather have honest crit than arse lickers! so cheers take care hope to hear a change!

    love

  • @coulsonsam87 lol he failed .. just watched it :\

  • @coulsonsam87 dear sam i would like to introduce you to one of the biggest banes on the internet there are those creatures called trolls they are lesser than human life forms that do nothing but insult and criticize others when they cannot do anything for themselves they lack humor,the ability to enjoy and absolutely lack any form of understanding what art is...best solution is just a nice tasty block sandwich and extermination to their needless comments...much respect and love stay awesome

  • @coulsonsam87 haha you made gargano3000 erase his account. Nice going Sam.

  • @coulsonsam87 haha you made gargano3000 erase his account. Nice going Sam.

  • @gargano3000 - " Boring? Just another sucker wankin off in e?" I imagine you are just joking. Trying to get a little attention? Sam has a style all his own. Listen to all the other versions of Voodoo Child on YouTube. Same thing over and over or feeble and half hearted attempts. Very few even come close to this version. Sam’s heart and soul is in his playing and you can feel and yes even see it. It’s the way music should be.

  • @jamsearch check my playin i burn a hole through this guy

  • @gargano3000 I checked out your video entitled "best guitar player on youtube in a rock n roll sense ". Now I know you are just a big jokster or if you believe that you are the best on YouTube then I feel sorry for you. You are not a tenth the guitarist as Sam. I'm not saying this to put you down, I figure you need to be told before you embarrass yourself further. Maybe Sam can give you a discount on lessons. Good Luck.

  • @jamsearch thanx mate i know i'm goin somewhere when ppl like sam an you think i'm bad, cheers mate you take care.

  • @jamsearch oh mate i never said he was bad....listen i'm honest are you seriously telling me this is any different or better than the millioms out there? if you think so great but allow me my right to say its boring listen sam may say in years to come i was right so mate fuck off an i say that cuz i'm free an i can i happen to think i'm a good guitar player that has followed his heart and not what he was told was good like eric jonson and eric clapton yawn yawn yawn long live jimi x

  • @gargano3000 Why tell me to fuck off. I’m so hurt now. I was just being honest. Not trying to put you down. Speaking of which…All of your posts on here were made to put someone down. What’s up with that? Do you feel threatened? You have put down or made fun of everyone from Sam to someone in a wheelchair. Be nice and nice will reciprocate. You have a right to free speech but why be an ass? Chill. Peace

  • @gargano3000 mate i can really see you just dont get it i have praised him on other vids, sorry for telling you to fuck off but i am giving advice here! again i did not say the wheelchair thing plus are you telling me the only ppl we can take the piss out of are able bodied white ppl!? ppl in wheelchairs are the same as us if some of em dont like it fuck em

  • @gargano3000 - I think you are the one who doesn't get it. No one cares what you think or say. Your previous comments show what you are all about. I' ve just been fucking with you like you fuck with others.

    Let's see your version of Voodoo Child and I'll pay attention. I love great music no matter who plays it.

  • @gargano3000 You wanted me to view your Voodoo Child and give an honest opinion (per your email). Well I saw it. I see why you made fun of Sam now. You can't feel the music. Your version was horrible. Don't take my word. Invite other for opinions. You even went so far as to make a video about Sam's playing being a joke. You are totally lost. I truly hate saying bad things about people but you need help with your personality and your playing. I hope you take this as constructive criticism.

  • @gargano3000 thought so thanx, you even put the comment on his page, i can see wots goin on you love sam in a gay way which is cool but i'll leave it up an see wt others think, thanx for the crit. peace

  • @gargano3000 - You asked me to be honest. I truly meant what I said. I'm sorry you suck at guitar. That doesn't mean you won't ever get better. Keep on trying and remember playing a song isn't a race to the end. Feel It. Peace.

  • @jamsearch thanx mate understand now wt ur sayin slow down let the music braeth and watch my musicality!

    thanx a mill alreadt improvin and practice practic hope 1 day to make it on ur favs see ya mate again thanx x

  • @gargano3000 Cool. I wish you well. Rock on.

  • @gargano3000- Yeah, all that and also don't insult really great guitarists who did it better :/ Good luck.

  • @gargano3000 Hey man, Music is just to something you feel, surely shouldn't artificially respond to boring criterias that numb brains tend to proudly throw on the table for it to be "in"...

  • @Iskandar75 wot cunt?

  • @gargano3000 aww the poor troll needs attention? there there trollie *pats* you have my attention with this comment before i say you are miserably pathetic :P obvious troll...is obvious :P you poor poor thing.. hope you enjoy a block sandwich much love :P

  • Comment removed

  • @gargano3000 the funny faces? its called style dipshit. Something your definitely lacking. Guitar center tone? can you shred? Can you even play an E chord? I think not

  • @gargano3000 wankin off  in e is amazing!.. u should try it...

  • @gargano3000 hey bastard , sam IS the best on youtube,,,,,, Rock on sam , even if u stand ther doing nthing we will still be watching you !!!! !!!

  • @gargano3000 very true!

  • @gargano3000 well hope this help you...

    Definition of Envy - a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.

    Solution - Just wait, life takes care of it... God bless and good luck!;)

  • what weed did you smoke ?

  • hey great palyin...whats the songs name?

  • @BoRnUuNrOb Voodoo Child / Voodoo Chile Slight Return. The Original excited me so much that I just had to start playing the electric guitar. SRV does a jaw dropping version also. Its so much fun making a strat weep and scream to this song!

  • @coulsonsam87 You also put a little Blistering Rock in there. Nice!

  • @BoRnUuNrOb What I hear is Voodoo Child (Slight Return). Kenny Wayne Shepherd does a cool rendition of Voodoo Chile then leads into Voodoo Child (Slight Return) which are two different songs. Sam breathes fresh air into his version and I have listened to it over and over(can't get enough), but I believe his sound is limited on what he can reproduce (playing through his BOSS ) if compared to that of Jimi Hendrix, SRV or KWS who use full stage equipment. Listen to the tone of Jimi's originals.

  • @BoRnUuNrOb lol

  • The only thing missing is the screaming audience at the end.

  • I'm surprise Justin Beaver gets paid more than you =.='.. it should be the other way around!

  • Great job man.....as your guitar skills grow, your hair gets shorter....hahaha!

  • @riffguy haha! thanks Paul!

  • @coulsonsam87 GO BALD!

  • @riffguy I'm just waiting for when he goes completely bald a la Satriani =P That'd be awesome.

  • what a simply gorgeous tone :)

  • Haha hilarious ending dude! Rock and roll ain't always easy...

  • dude ur hair?

  • Would it be possible for you to make a video where I don't need new pants after watching?

  • wha type of strat is this?

  • clean up on isle 3, I just came on everything within a 3 yard radius

  • @FoamingGypsy haha!

  • @FoamingGypsy

    send them over to my place :)

  • As always, fantastic playin, awesome tone but we all know you can shred like a demon so please you don't have to put it in every vid. Youve made this skill clear to everyone of which I'm so envious, but it would be great if you could do some accurate copies with a twist of your own but without the shred. Your a fantastic guitarist who I'm sure can put his own stamp on any song and make it your own. Please don't take this as a negative as I think your awesome, just less is more sometimes eh!!!!

  • @bigeddie38 there wasn't much shredding in here

  • @bigeddie38 there wasn't much shredding in here alittle i mean but not a large amount

  • That was awesome! You got so into it.

  • you have officially mastered the blues face!

  • Man, you really get into it. How's the band coming along?

  • Good video!! HAHAHAHAHA you look like Rysiek z klanu

  • awesome Sam!!! is that the HSS version american special? or SSS ?

  • i believe your picking tecknique may be relative to your pick. if youve got a sharp end then it will have too much attack on the string and so angling the pick acts as a 'de-sharpener'. fair play- helping your picking is probs primary though. UK-mon

  • @longination soz this comment was destined for your 'right hand picking tecknique' vid. my tecknology is losing. solid ass fuck axe merchant buh

  • OMG =P~ i have no words. you really are my favorite guitarist ( after slash ) I'd really want to take some of your lessons, but i don't have a good internet connection or and credit card to pay ya :)). anyways keep on rocking buddy. ( P.S. I'd really like to see you jam on the backing track i have uploaded on my channel ) ROCK ON !!! \m/

  • Great!

  • you're seriously amazing, my god.

  • Brilliant!

    

  • This is fuckin' great Sam.

  • 6:11 I know the feeling!

  • Great video! Actually one of the best of the last few months. For my taste your playing from 0:00 until 0:24 outshines the rest of the video. That feeling is more tasteful than your shredding (wich I find very good anyway). Awsome.

  • New guitar looking and sounding ace.

  • That was jubbly awesome, twaz the jam on my toast. Great tone and playing Sam! 

  • Sam, I loved the ending, lol. You were really into it.

    Great sounding Strat, love the big headstock.

    Robin :o)

  • Dude! we have definitely gotta jam when i get to Calgary! Great playing buddy! keep up the good work.

  • @Bopkins14 oh yeah! I can't wait! :D

  • Sam your Jimi improvs are the best. You seem to really get into them.

  • Jimi would be proud!!

  • Nice....

  • Just magical man...really really good.

  • Tasty Goodness :)

    You should get a big " S . C " painted/engraved on the black scratch plate.... then take a sandblaster to the body.

    Rock 'N' Roll dude.

    Daxy

  • @ozpmr haha I like it Daxy! I love this strat, however it's so unforgiving having that single coil in the neck, but i rekon it's worth it for that tone. to me the guitar sounds like vintage Yngwie!

  • You really know how to make that guitar sound good.

  • i wish you could tech me!

  • Respect.

  • Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

  • your videos are worth money. youre amazing

  • nice fender loving the 70's style headstock

  • sam what acoustic's that?
