Please comment, rate & all that jazz. A bucket of karma to those who subscribe, for it helps my channel grow!

Set to the classic tune of Rock And Roll by Led Zeppelin, these classic rivals square off in an epic shred-fest to determine which Gibson model truly is the axe of rock.

This is just for fun. A jam session made of improv solos just to show the differences between each guitar. I enjoyed making this battle, so I may make another.

I got the backing track from guitarbt.com

I have no tabs for this, because it is mainly improv.

Guitars:
Gibson Explorer (Natural, Gold Hardware, 2006)

Gibson Les Paul Studio (Heritage Cherry, Chrome Hardware, 2007)

Enjoy!

  • funny the people hating on him because he has nice stuff, maybe you should direct that anger at your own parents and ask them why they couln't afford to get you nice things!!! Or even worse yet, if you're an adult look at yourself in the mirror and ask the same question. Either way you fail, lol.

  • Do you make fun of Angus Young prancing around as well? How about Jimmy Page with his many faces? Or Steve Vai and his histrionic performances? Don't make fun of this guy and his moves.

  • Rich boy...I'm so jealous....LOL, I have a Gibson Les Paul Studio :D

  • the les paul is an epic guitar, perfect for rock and metal

    the explorer is a shredmachine, made for heavy and thrash metal, although its nut wears out extremely fast (dust comes out when u change strings) and loses its tune extremely fast.. so i say its shit, the shred x is even worse.. a khaler without a locking nut.. u fukin serious? the tribal version is pretty good tho but the best explorers are esp/ltd...

    so the les paul definatly wins

  • I really liked this video. Good job.

    To all the fools that are giving you shit: I've got a Gibson Les Paul. Do you know how I got it? Because I worked my f***ing ass off for it!

    If you want one, stop whining and start working.

  • @TheSkatingBassguitar Dude I have Epis and Gibsons they don't sound the same at all. Maybe behind distortion or some overdrive they do , but thats just the pedal. Plug em in raw once and see which is better clearly Gibson. I do agree on the Ibanez to an extent lol - Metal (Ibanez) everything else (Gibson) - Good comment and this is just my opinion I wasn't bashing or anything I mean zero harm or attitude towards it .

  • Explorer all the way my lead guitarest has an epiphone one but it's still kick ass I honestly like Epiphone guitars a little better because they sound exactly a like but there much lighter, but out of anything I choose IBANEZ!!!!!

  • Great playing, fuckin AWESOME gear. But the best part....Led Zeppelin poster in the background. You can smoke bud with me any day

  • wow I almost detected no difference. the explorer is slightly warmer, probably due the the excess of wood its got over the les paul. little fatter too.

  • I still prefer the Explorer over the Les Paul because of the lp's back breaking weight!

    

  • lol

  • That was cool xD
