• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

JBLPlayer teaches how to set up Les Pauls!

TJoe is a very successful, yet keenly humble and accessible musician. After watching more videos of him he does not take for granted that his success has allowed him to nurture that guitar geek inside of himself. He seems in awe of his own ability and is humbled by the opportunities and successes it has given him. That's a class move that I personally don't see too often.

He's a class act.

Wise words, but I'm a little worried about that nice amp sitting lonely and unplayed in that corner... :peace2:peace2

I know Gibbons uses light strings, so that combined with a top wrap would be interesting to try.

Nice video! :dude:

Man, Joe has the best life ever! The ring finger bend is actually just how I know I've got my action right too. If bending the G string up, your ring finger should not go under the upper string, or atleast thats how I feel bends aren't making any noise with other strings. He does have them lower EAD strings really high. He's a heavy hitter though.

There is some stuff out now that I've been using for the nuts: "Slick Nutz" from Lizard Spit. It's a Graphite based lube that dries on the string after you put it in the slot. Un-like Big Bends, it won't kill your wound strings.
Also for intonation I've found over the years to use the fretted note @ the 5th fret and 17th fret instead of the open string/12 fret as your strings will play more in-tune up the neck.<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

Ive used the 5th to 17th intonation since I was 17 . I never knew Nut sauce would "kill" strings I add graphite powder to the Nut Sauce.
I'll have to try Slick nutz.
