Coffee fixes everything. It wipes out bad smells in my room, gets rid of the roaches hiding behind my fridge, keeps me awake in the morning, helps me with company while at work... It has yet to fix my relationship, but it's getting there.

Going through your Next Level Playing course. I’m pleasantly surprised with how thorough it is with your explanations, demonstrations, workbook, backing tracks, tabs, and everything is downloadable and printable. Thanks
I love how many people are DIY-ing their own gear right now. I adonized my gold pickguard for my black tele to make it have a similar look to Fender's ultra stratocaster in texas tea! It was so fun! Those knobs look good to me! 😊
I just want to say that as a professional guitarist and teacher of many years, I really enjoy your channel. Your advice is spot on and you play great. All the best!
It's time, you really deserve a bigger place to spread your wings, man. Unparalleled quality content coming from your channel, even from that tiny shoe box you're working in now. Can't wait to see the new place. A thousand congratulations.
Tuner after gain... I have had so many people tell me I have to move it to the front... So glad there are fellow players doing the same as me. Mute the noise pedals and keep the reverb / delay trails! Rock on, Paul. You are a legend!
@@legalize.brokkoli well you have your phone,so immediately it means you have a camera...maybe you have some pc or a laptop so that would mean you can already record a cover of some song Congrats...
I just purchased this guys tutorials but... after watching more of his video here, I think, I learnt more than just how to play guitar from this guy, but a lot more. What's that, I don't know, the attitude or something, I don't know. Really cool, Mr. Paul Davids, thanks a lot for everything.
Quick pro tip for ageing your knobs; lightly rough up the surface with steel wool. The staining will be stronger and more random. Can't wait to see your new digs!
Congratulations, PD!! This is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing this and all your passion for music! And congrats on your new place! Can't wait to see a touring vid! Cheers!
Dude, congratulations on the new house. It has to feel incredible taking another forward step in the game of life. Happy you're here on YT sharing your knowledge and fun, while also being able to sustain a comfortable living. Wishing you continued success.
And I thought my studio was small!! So good to know you not only persisted for so long within a very modest space, but you truly thrived and created amazing videos and inspirational content while you were there. Congratulations on a job well done. I’m excited to see the new digs!
Hi, Paul. If the volume pot on the Strat is a split-shaft type, you can insert a flat-head screwdriver in the slot and widen it slightly to hold the knob more securely.
I luvd ur studio, ur vids have such a high quality, and seeing that u do all that quality in such a small and simple place shows how the quality is in the person!!! Congrats!!!
One other thing that works really well for the white plastic parts, is to place them under the sun for a couple of hours. It worked really well on a white pickguard I bought for an old strat.
Hey Paul, first of all: congrats on your new home - I'm really happy for you! Many thanks for sharing and for giving us regular glimpses into your life - occasionally with outside footage of the city where I grew up :) The personal touches you put into your videos and guitar courses give me that extra motivation to continue practicing and to get better as I really feel that the only way to thank you for the time you're putting in all these great videos is by absorbing everything you're trying to teach us. Thanks a lot!
I'd really love to see a deep dive into each of your guitars - their history, what you use it primarily for, components you've changed from stock, reasons you chose that model, whether you would keep it or swap it for another a guitar on your wishlist.
Good to know you guys are getting a new place, man. Been following you on here for a long time and it's been a hreat pleasure to see you grow in so many ways, whilst helping us grow too. Good luck with the move. Cheers
Hi Paul! I think i'll take this opportunity to tell you how much i enjoy your videos... you're such a true inspiration, humbly giving away so many usefull and powerfull tips and info... I wish you the best of luck at your new home and studio! Keep up this great work... cheers!
As always, thank you for baring your sonic soul. I think we all look fwd to seeing your next studio, congrats on the new house! You may already have covered this, but I'd love a treatise on microphones and recording one's singing voice. Tip, tricks, and whatnot. Take care bud!
I am always amazed by the video-quality of your channmel, so it is most interesting to see your camera and lenses. In fact I have just realised how important lenses are.
I just understand why Paul left this studio, but as he said, it's awesome! It feels such nice. The room has it's own atmosphere and feels cozy to me. At the first glance, it's just home.
LOTS of memories in that little starter studio of yours, Paul. I’m sure I can speak for all of your subscribers when I say that some of the greatest TH-cam videos were made in that little studio of yours. I can’t wait to see what your new studio will bring to your subscribers. 🤙🏽
Great tour and although it was a very small space you made it work and have become successful. I am looking forward to seeing your new studio when you get set up and have more space to work. In January of 2019 I did some renovations to my studio which included some expansion and it has made a world of difference in my workflow and productivity. I have my guitars, amps and pedal board set up and at the ready which is very convenient. There is literally no set up time as it is all there ready to go. Walking into the studio and seeing my guitars is very inspiring. Best of luck with your move and see you soon !
I'm in the very slow process of making my own studio and I was wanting to mimic yours. Thank you so much for doing this video. It's great to see what equipment you use. Your music always sounds so crisp and clear and I'd hate to spend thousands on equipment and it not sound good. 👍
Thanks for the studio tour Paul. Would love to get a run down on your pedal board, and looking foward to seeing the new studio when it's ready to show. Thanks for making all the videos!
4:57 - THUMBS UP!! Who doesn't love, Pete? BTW - Just fyi, I drool a tad on my chin or keyboard every time that AMAZING faded, fiesta red beauty of a Strat appears. Lordy!
@@LexanderMiller Hm Can't tell, never had a Fender. Option no.2 would be a layer of masking tape around the shaft or something. Still like his green-ish lettering on his original knob
I’m so relieved to see that guitar didn’t really have that many volume knobs, I seen the picture on Instagram and was like wtf how many knobs does a guitar need?😂
Paul, you’ve got a great “little” setup there. Lots more gear than I have that’s for sure! I’ve got a small studio room also, which is bigger than that but definitely not a lot. It feels smaller because there’s a drum kit in one corner taking up a good chunk of space and a pull-out couch in the other, so it doubles as a crash room for friends. I don’t have much for gear other than my katana and an old bullet amp, e835 mic and stand, a crappy but working Casio keyboard (midi ftw!) and a small desk for my laptop, USB interface (duo capture ex) and super low end monitor speakers :) but ya know, it gets the job done! I love fiddling with recording as a creative tool, I use Logic Pro mostly, and sometimes I’ll be down there until the wee hours of the morning without noticing the time! Enjoy your new house and studio, looking forward to seeing it in upcoming videos 👍
if your tone / volume pot has a split shaft use a screw driver to GENTLY spread the ends apart then put your knobs back on and voilà your knobs won’t keep turning!
Fantastic Paul! Shows that you don’t need loads of gear or space to create a decent home studio. It is all about the content created and how it is presented👍 Congrats on your move and hope the little one is doing well
If you get a chance I’d love to see your new studio when the time comes! Just starting my at-home recording adventures and this video couldn’t have come at a better time
thank you for making these videos! it is so inspiring for me even after playing (or not playing :( ) for years. you share a lot of stuff with us, it's valuable and enjoyable. sometimes, videos without actual playing guitar, can be also VERY interesting *thumbs up*

It’s unbelievable how small your studio is. I gotta stop finding excuses. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Impressive how you made the most use from the least space! (Quoting Keith Williams and 'Five Watt World's' tagline!)
What a blessing. I can't even change chords, and I'm stuck in my bedroom. You make very good videos.
As a guitarist, I naturally love your videos. As a film maker I adore your videos. They are little pieces of visual delight!
I’m slowly getting my music room together. I love that board by the way!
I'm very excited to see your first video out of your new studio.
And I must say, you are really a very nice guy, Paul.

Paul's style is immaculate. Love that chair. Great attitude, small place but just got on with it for 6 years.
Well , in my home studio I have multiple things...
A guitar & a stand
Sometimes this is all you need. Even the stand is a luxury. :p
Me too! XD
I stand with my guitar.

Does the wife know you’re more excited about your knobs than the new house?
Most men are more excited about their knobs than their house, lols.
buying a house is stressful takes the exciting out of it i even paid cash couldn't imagine working with a bank
@Bryan Cayson shut up
Wife?? WTF? Have I been living in a cave for 2 years? Can't wait to see your new house!!! 🙏
Just have to say it. Your channel inspires me to keep practicing and working on my tone and overall approach to music. Thank you Paul!
Good luck with your new house and studio. It's been nice having you here on TH-cam.

You are amazing. Congratulation. New studio new ideas. New feeling.
Good luck with the new house. Congratulations!
Super happy for you moving up Paul. You're an international treasure!
Congratulations to you and your wife on the new house. Looking forward to new studio tour.

"the four guitars I can't live without" check it out.
Dude! Stacking power adapters like that can be dangerous. Please be safe!
lesselp ok I’ve just always been taught not to do that. No worries
The power strip has a protection in it, so no need to worry. I'm safe.
Paul Davids I thought so lol, just wanted to make sure my favourite youtubers staying safe

Ha! Glad to see that you have a box of cables & nic-naks ! Very impressed by your setup. I’m inspired to follow in the Paul Davids groove 🤩😎👍
You can also line the inside of the knob with a small strip of sandpaper and it will hold it snug against the pot shaft.

Éxito en tu nueva casa! Será bueno conocer tu próximo Studio
Would love to see an updated pedalboard video Paul! I love the attention to detail you put into explaining your setup in your last pedalboard video.
just the sentence: "This is where I spend my life"... makes me feel so satisfied 😊

Paul, thanks for your insights, I wish you good luck for the future
Too bigger and better things !! Congratulations Paul .
Tips here: when your knobs are loose just pry open the shaft of the pots a bit. They're slotted and can be bent open or back.
Maxime Laliberté unless I’m misunderstanding, Fender guitars don’t use slotted shafts.

That new bigger studio is going to be awesome if this little one looks this good!
You need a furmann power conditioner- one plug for ten outputs. Cleans the power up so you don’t get any hum.
Awesome studio, but I just can't wait for the new one!! ***please make an updated guitar collection video once you're settled in your new one***
Congrats on your new home Paul. Loved seeing your studio! Great use of a limited space. We'll miss it!
Fantastic Paul!
