Barrie Cadogan Plays a 1959 Gibson Les Paul

[RAG7890]

Some great burst playing and great commentary from Barry Cadogan.

Enjoy.

that guy can play music !! so many of the '59 demos on YouTube aren't too great in the actual playing music dept.

seen it and enjoyed it. made that epi amp sound wonderful.

Have watched many times already. Great reminder that all you need is a great guitar and amp (and practice).

Possibly my favourite Burst demo ever!

Certainly a great sounding guitar! The pickups have got some fantastic accoustic/microphonic qualities.

It's the first '59 video where I can actually hear why the guitar should be worthy of it's mythical status.

And talent.

Sounded great to me. Funny thing is, if we didn’t know what amp he is playing I think the fair majority of us would be guessing some sort of $1000+ boutique of vintage amp. I forgot how good those Epi valve jrs sound. Thank you for sharing!

Nothing like a good set of hands

It sure does sound juicy. That amp head sold for $99 new when it came out about 10 years or so ago. I had bought one, but it didn't sound quite that good when I was behind the wheel.

maybe you should get a 59 burst to go along with the epi

That's fascinating to watch.

This has been in my regular rotation for a while. A great player really brings out the glory of a great guitar.

One of my favorite players, and he knows how to work that guitar. I honestly think the amp sound is not great, but it's obvious that the guitar has a wonderful range of voices. I like and agree with the microphonics working really well along with the main pickup signal. And geez, with a touch like that, a player can work wonders. It's a great testimonial to non-overwound, non "hot" pickups.

 

[jenton70]

I know that the burst doesn't belong to him but there are a couple of other great videos where Barrie reviews and plays some of his personal (more) affordable vintage Gibsons.

God I love this video.

Another outstanding example of the 59's greatness is this video. It doesn't hurt that he's playing through a Trainwreck Express amp, either.

Yes, very nice indeed! The cab is also a big part of the sound. G12Ms, Pulsonic cones no doubt.

 

[Blue Blood]

Boy does he get some great tones in that video !
TY for sharing

It's refreshing to hear somebody FINALLY play a burst CLEAN and play something other than blues rock licks distorted. Plus as a Al green fan it's nice to recognize him playing *I'm so glad you're mine* . Never heard anybody play soul music on a burst I like that.
