[theshyguitarist]

What pickups in this guitar Sam?

[Jurassic104]

Oh my gosh.. this tone is amazing.... RIPPING!

[SuperBisti]

He reminds me Gary Moore..

[luiggiarmando]

amazing guitar playing dood ! :D

[jcshirke]

@22FretsIsNotEnough

Gilbert says the same thing in the Jan. 2012 Guitar Player, p. 51. That's why I searched for Sam.

[jamsearch]

You removed Foxy Lady! One of my favs. That was a great vid. I guess you had your reasons.

[Soulendeavor]

You're a mix of the great personality's of Rick Emmit and the playing of Yngwie!

I love your phrasing man! You are my favorite guitar player ever!!!

[creedynotechnique]

Really enjoyed this vid, this guy could very well be the next 'guitar great'. Does anyone know what he was playing 3.30 - 4.15, that riff sounded very cool

[xSnoweyexp]

ur playin is very very very very gilbertish

[cobias]

I have been playing for 25 years , yr good man. You remind me a little bit of Joe Bonamassa with a little bit more shred. We need more players like you...shred but blues and melody as well. KEEP ON IT !

[geogreg27]

Wow, that is a nice guitar tone. Totally awesome playing.

Pure excellency. Stay awesome

[Lespaul13100]

Awesome playing as always! Cheers!

[rhinohockenberry]

hey sam, could you tell me what guitar that is? ive been looking for an american guitar with a floyd rose without luck

[Earnhardt12345]

Pretty cool seeing a 100% guitar rig with no drums, bass, or singer.. The way it should be.. Great playing as always Sam!

[ShivaTheAuspicious]

Bought this same Charvel in February..anyone who doesn't have one of the Japan made Charvels GO GET ONE, THEY SLAY!

[emmpai1]

that charvel.. i'm in love!

[blackstars26]

What was your rig !

[bigman6190]

this dude sam is a real player

[cderycke]

Glad to see my camera work was usable dude. :D

[fippysteed]

Sam was in my opinion the best player at monkey fest.

[fippysteed]

The 4 people who disliked this need Beheading.

[CRaul87]

Sam, is your Charvele Japan or USA made? and what's the build quality on it? I really like the look of it and I'm tempted in buying one:)

[roccckkerrr]

would this monkeyfest be a suitable environment for the pursuit of females?

[xx55AC55xx]

FEEL THE MARSHALL

[dabigbearsbbq]

Wow Sam grats on the Paul Gilbert nod. Watching this video reminds me of our lessons back here in Calgary.

[TomHappyapril]

You got me at 5:24! dont remeber you walking around with a camra ...ohh well!

[jamsearch]

Paul Gilbert likes Sam's playing! That says it all. But then again...I already knew how good he is. Rock on Sam! 

[SurfingOnTheGuitar]

3:30-4:25

is that a real song of urs the u recroded?

[CamoSpartan07]

If the amps and guitar caught fire, I wouldn't be surprised.

[vaiman7777]

Its a pleasure to watch and listen to Sam play the guitar. Awesome work dude

[paulojungmann]

Amazing!

[billyblunt63]

Still makes me smile every time I watch 'fest' vids. great meeting you dude & we'll hang out & share a beer or 2 next year at MF2012. I'll try & keep Garry under control but I dont think we've got much chance of that lol. Rock the feck on dude \m/ \m/

[kablorte]

How did you do to get to perform there? :O

[raulgx]

Hey sam, i was wondering if you could make a lesson of you kick-ass pentatonic runs, that would be so much appretiated :D anyway you rock dude!

[ntsms69]

Nice vid.

I met Sam recently............. a real gent and a natural guitarist.

Having not played for "many" years, It was strange for me, but Sam was a first class tutor.

I taught him a thing or two (NOT!)

This guy has many qualities..... and for me he is sheer "inspiration"

Cheers Sam

[coulsonsam87]

@ntsms69 Thanks for the kind words!

[Adji87]

Haha, those pinch harmonics make me laugh every time man. Great stuff Sam, was good to meet you.

[BRADARISTA]

you have stranger guitar faces than steve vai...

[TheReviewerOfMusic]

were are you from sam ?

[coulsonsam87]

@TheReviewerOfMusic I was born in Essex but I spent most my years growing up in the West Midlands just south of Birmingham. When I was 20 I spent a couple years living in Glasgow and the last 2 years I have been living across the pond in Calgary Alberta

[thefretboardmagician]

Did you have fun teaching the zombies? haha

[martinlutherkingIII]

why don't you do a video on some of those fast penatonic runs man

[GrizAdams111]

@martinlutherkingIII he had some at one time but I can't find them anymore...I think he took them down.

[kostnermo]

@martinlutherkingIII haha :D

[taztherocker1]

Good video. Man, the tone in the beginning and through out the video, is killer! That guitar sounds awesome through those blasting JVM'S.. And you're playing is awesome. Really enjoyed it.

[dustyk]

sweet film dude

[coulsonsam87]

@dustyk Cheers brother!

[freakshow2000]

speed is there, timing not so much....

[crisDAwog]

[danukenator123]

@crisDAwog I was skipping around in the video and that was my first thought when I heard that.

[crisDAwog]

[jamsearch]

Looks like everyone had a good time. Excellent playing Sam!

[TheFloydGiver]

Amazing playing Sam, are you back in Calgary yet?

[coulsonsam87]

[Brndnrchrdsn85]

Amazing, as always!

[kirkhammett1993]

the message was for rob chappers, hope he sees it. but mr coulson, you are in a league of your own. Did you sell your soul to the blues devil to play like that?

[kirkhammett1993]

next year make sure you get tosin abasi with animals as leaders ! it would be minblowing :D 

[RoathRipper]

should have been called 'GuitarFest'. Nobrainer.

[TheSoloAsylum]

I have a problem with the timing as with all the solos

[fav13andacdc]

Those pinch harmonics are tasty

[DistortedV12]
