Original 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (with NO pedals) straight into a 1989 Trainwreck Express amp. Playing excerpts from Glen Kuykendall's own "Can You Hear It Ring?" CD and other bluesy improv. Pardon the intro run, later I realized I was totally in the wrong fretboard position which was making it much trickier! Oh well, luckily it's MUCH cleaner on my CD and Myspace clips. Mostly though, this video is improvised stuff to demo the gear and range of tones by simply working the guitar knobs and playing dynamics. I'm now also offering ONLINE guitar lessons via a SKYPE connection, more information on my webpage.

His theatrics add to the tone. Close your eyes and see what I mean.

I own a good clone of this amp. Very responsive, it's addictive to play. Could you tell me what are the settings you are using on the amp?

Thanks for inspiring me to get a real Trainwreck Express. You are the man! Years ago guitarist Greg Levy told me about them in the late 1990's. I wish I would have listened to him and got one than because that was the amp to have.In those days, I was to hung up on my old plexiglass 50's and small box 50's.I was Marshall till the end. The Express has what the best Marshall 50 has and more.Im still getting used to the feel of it. You have it mastered and your videos are inspiring and amazing. I did a video on my channel with my burst and the Trainwreck. Like you I've have had a real Pre- Henry 59 Burst for over 30 years, but all those years I was missing the Trainwreck. That amp is like the missing link if you have a real 59.They go together so well. I'd like to get another one as a back- up.You were way ahead of the game getting 2 Trainwrecks when Kenny was alive. I live so close too. I could have got one easily, but I just couldn't envision how great the amp was until I heard it in your videos.Nobody ever played one in context like you did so the amp was a mystery to many. Your place in Trainwreck history is noted and you deserve the highest respect for doing what you did for Ken Fishers legacy. R.I.P. Kenny Fisher.

Every time I tell myself, "nah, Paul, the amp and guitar don't determine your tone, that's just gear acquisition syndrome talking. There's no sound you can't get with some decent pedals," I slap myself and watch this video.

This is the sound every guitar player who starts playing aspires to have but seems to never capture... You are very fortunate! You've caught the elusive unicorn of tone!! Holy Grail!!
