I love that even though Derek Trucks doesn't play a PRS guitar or Amp, the respect Paul has for him in the room is the same respect he has for Warren Hanes and Carlos Santana
Carlos said it best. We all want more of what guys like this say and how they do what they do. Thanks for sitting down with these guys and extracting the knowledge they shared, it means a lot to those of us striving to play like them.
What Warren said about young people not knowing the difference between performing from the heart, and not performing from the heart, because they have nothing to refer to - SPOT on! Thank you to musicians like this who continue to enlighten the younger generations, and ensure that the purity, power and emotion we feel in music is never lost. What an awesome video! And thank you to Paul for creating the guitars, and to Marc for helping produce this video. You are all awesome! :)
Damn, I wish I would've discovered this interview years ago! This should be required listening for all musicians. Three incredible musicians that understand what music is and can be when played for all the right reasons. Just a phenomenal interview.
Wow, what a great conversation. Santana seems to be on another plane of existence. Also cool to hear them talk about the first time they experienced chills; I definitely got some watching this interview.
Isn't it wonderful when talented people check their egos and leave them in the cloakroom ? Listening to a bunch of talented guitarists and a guitar-maker, and applying their input into our lives. A truly inspirational video.
WOW. Four beautiful people who have brought so much beautiful music to the world! This was a divine 15 minutes. I'll be returning to this video often. God bless each of these conscious souls.
I had a guitar teacher that could straight up shred. But the one thing he told that stick with me was when he looked right in the eyes and said, "You can play a million notes, but it won't mean a thing if you don't feel it." It changed the way I think about guitar, and music in general.
Awesome interview I wish there was more like this out there, Love when derek says about condescending when he's playing with people. Think I've seen him make that look once or twice joe bonamassa being 1 of them on the Freddie king induction video. Great interview 5*
Soloing doesn't mean ANYTHING if you can't feel what you do. These guys are great, all in their own right, trying to teach a new generation of musician not to play for show,girls,money,etc.I really want to meet Paul one day, just to talk gear and guitars to see some insight on his passion. He just seems like a great guy, thank Paul,Carlos,Warren, Derek!!!!
Wow, what an inspirational 15 mins that was !! I've never learned to read music, I've only ever wanted to play what I feel at that moment and anything I do learn, I learn by ear. I've always thought that praps I'm just being lazy, but after listening to this conversation I feel that I'm doing what's right for me and that I should just carry on being organic in my approach. What I need to learn though is how to trust and let go like these guys do. Hopefully one day I'll crack it :0) Thankyou PRS
I remember the first time I heard Lightnin' Hopkins play acoustic blues. I had a cold chill the size of Texas!!! Clapton, Hendrix and SRV almost put me into cardiac arrest, LOL!
Gosh, how great is that conversation? o.O It made me laugh hard because of the following thing: Like three weeks ago during soloing in a guitar lesson (thrre people tought by one teacher) I lost myself completely between my feelings and brought my solo to an end and then with my last played straccato note all three interrupted and stared at me. I look up and they began to laugh. I was like "What?" And they answered: "You played one bar then you should" and... gosh... I was stunned and scared xD
And out of this I ve come to realize that they build individual amps for each of the players....it would be a good idea to identify if any of the circuits of the production models are the basis for the big stars amps..... I d be in a hugh effort of buying THAT amp that has ..........what tone that can be manifested by the stage stars PRS amps
si .. y es hermoso ser un genius . cuando te regalan guitarras y equipos.. de p. madre.. y nunca tuviste que sudar por ellos.. .. Paul , regalame una de las de tu signachure.. y te hago publicidad gratis de por vida. .!!!
@lupon18 who said i blamed his schizophrenia on LSD? I do think it was a catalyst. Either way I've met plenty of folks out there that have had more than their share and are proof that there is in fact such thing as too much. My point is its irresponsible to openly say there's no such thing as too much, kids are easily influenced.

The best 15 minute of conversation I’ve seen in a LONG TIME.

This was great, Thanks. It's good to hear musicians who will still always will be students and are grateful for the gift they have.
These guys are pure geniality. Just watching this video inspired me.
I love "Music is never supposed to be condescending"
that stuck with me too
:)
So refreshing and substantial for any human soul. Just Amazing! i think we are all living in an awesome era of music. Trust me.

Love what Carlos Daughter said. What young minds think God Bless ✌❤
So much gentle wisdom going on here. Great stuff.
I got a lot of respect for Carlos. This guitarist has been there, got the t- shirt too ! Rock on guys and thanks for the cool discussion about TONE.
Wow actually speaking about Music and the Human Soul! Please do more of these 👏👏👏
What a fantastic conversation.
So much humbleness in one room it's amazing.

Great conversation. Like someone said to me one time: Just play what you feel in your heart in the moment :) Peace.
great conversation by four greats - thanks a lot for the upload!

Thankyou PRS
very very good . the word humble comes to mind
I remember the first time I heard Lightnin' Hopkins play acoustic blues. I had a cold chill the size of Texas!!! Clapton, Hendrix and SRV almost put me into cardiac arrest, LOL!
Man, Santana is enlightened
thank you Paul, this was beautiful and insightful!
Fantastic discussion... thanks for doing this.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Inspiring... Thank you
Gosh, how great is that conversation? o.O
It made me laugh hard because of the following thing:

I had to watch this video twice and do some backing up to fully digest what was being said. Great video!
cold chills...
Great video in many ways!
A Justice League, a Jedi council, a fellowship of the ring or whatever of the guitar.
Respect !.
"Daaaaaaaaaamn" AHAHAHAHA I fuckin' love Carlos!
You guys are about do for another one!!!!
Conversations on Mount Olympus.
Santana: "Deeamn!"
Marc Quigley is the man! Great video my friend.
great practice to play the melody along with a great singer--it is THE exercise to practice phrasing. I do it to Alison Krauss.
WOW.
"That's someone who gives a shit."
...and then Santana did a pop collab album... hard to get past. :(
And out of this I ve come to realize that they build individual amps for each of the players....it would be a good idea to identify if any of the circuits of the production models are the basis for the big stars amps..... I d be in a hugh effort of buying THAT amp that has ..........what tone that can be manifested by the stage stars PRS amps
I want a PRS Santana signature...
CS is right. PRS guitars STAY IN TUNE. I love my custom 22 in root beer.
Tommy Talton? Wow❤
This is awesome tho.

Notice how both Santana and ABB have two drummers. These guys don't have to play a damn thing if they don't want to.
as does the Tedeschi Trucks band.
And the Grateful Dead.
Paul be looking like Steve Jobs

Uhh yes there is, ask Syd Barrett.
Mike Meyers could have based the his Guru character on Carlos Santana
A Love Supreme is everything Miles Davis could've achieved if he'd figured out how to get past himself.
Carlos had the best tone ever with a $400 SG. Tone with a PRS is POS.
Thank you for deleting my comment.... Pffff
There's no such thing as too much acid, dude. lol
I hate my auto type...not even gonna correct myself
B)
Warrens getting old... So insider
..or you just watch too much TV.
