Also a 1959 Gibson Les Paul.........my favourite Youtube clip.....(a repost , for those that haven't seen/heard this before )

In the Gregor Hilden post he has such great tone!

What would he be using to get this tone? I actually prefer this tone to Bonamassa's and Moore's a more overdriven tone.

Not the liveliest player I ever heard, but very melodic, and great tone as you say.

I used to wonder what the both-pickups-on position was even for. Then I realised from Clapton that it's one of the great strengths of the Les Paul - the ability to create this unbelievable tone by blending the two pickups in volume and tone to taste. It's why IMO every blues player using a two humbucker guitar with four controls should make sure they get good pots and caps. Without them, you lose a major bonus of having such an instrument.

Snowy White's Bird of Paradise has always been a benchmark for me. And of course, Knopflers Brothers in Arms.

I'm not wild about the mix in that YouTube clip from the Monserrat concert - the DVD is far better. But yes, still gives me goosebumps every time I hear him do that song.

Another version (from the excellent Night in London DVD):

Gotto agree with you on Knoppie's "Night in London". It really is an excellent DVD.

That DVD also introduced me to Sonny Landreth's slide.

Ill check your clip when I get home Joel. The amp is a KittyHawk from the track info. Gregor has numerous clips on youtube as"gregsguitars" and he always has stellar tone. His clips were the reason I ordered a Okko Diablo OD pedal.

I like the middle position on a LP, but one quiet afternoon a while back, I did the Peter green mod on my LP. Really gives you a bunch of new tones, but yes you need decent pots and caps. It is almost strat'ish.
