Thanks everyone for the lovely comments! As some of you mentioned, I think it would've been better to have called this a 'track' instead of a song. The word 'song' implies vocals, but it turned out as an instrumental. I think it's for the best though, because me singing would've ruined it ;). Cheers!
If it's a track is the best one made in 1 h (from my knowledge) I feel like a solo with that Les Paul on the wall would have been perfect Maybe that's just me
Shota M that’s so me! and after i record a song or a melody or whatever that i like and then listen to it over n over again cuz it sounds so good it all of a sudden starts sounding like shit :D
Skylent Games that was the biggest thing i also took away from watching a real musician use todays tech to create a very cool sound! That smile of accomplishment is a high onto its own, my favorite part of learning something new, practicing it and mastering something you never thought was possible is a great feeling for sure!
By far, my favourite 1-hour-challenge song (followed by Adam Neely's). It's very solid and, unlike some others, we can follow the composing process and understand how it was built from scratch. Awesome content, Paul.
I don't publish videos on TH-cam, but I thought live videos remained on the channel. Maybe he deleted it (?). Still, here's the song: adamneelymusic.bandcamp.com/track/song-made-and-mixed-live-in-one-hour
I produce professionally for singer/songwriters, and this happens to me one in every five times I start on something. I'll have had something stuck in my head that week, and as I sit there listening to a half done project, all I can think is, "....fuck. That's literally just inverted Sweet Child O' Mine" or something along those lines lol.
I was coming up with a song on piano, and I was thinking, "Wow, this is really good!" Later I realized it was exactly the same as You Never Give Me Your Money by The Beatles...
A compressor doesn't necessarily add treble. A compressor reduces dynamics by attenuating the volume whenever it becomes louder than some threshold, effectively reducing the "peaks" in volume. The overall volume is then typically increased, which gives the sound more sustain.
In simple terms it evens out the volume of the track to make the quieter parts more audible in a mix. Too much compression kills the human element. Too little and the track might not have enough energy
fell asleep watching the making (actually, I was very tired coming from work). But heard the completed song the next morning. And it's really very good Paul... inspiring work.
what amazes me most is your songwriting. Sure it can be "easy" to create a song when you can work efficiently with gear and recording software, but creating a song within an hour that actually sounds like a good song is a whole new level of awesomeness. Lekker gewerkt pik
well I have no idea how I even found this video, fell down some weird rabbit hole and yet here I am, watched the entire thing and was amazed, that was just incredible to witness, raw pure talent, congratulations on that sounds fantastic
Usually great guitarists aren't good teachers and great teachers often aren't so skilled guitarists. You Paul are the perfect teacher and one of the best players I've seen... Thank yiu
Very interesting...educational, enlightening, entertaining. I know you said this is perhaps for a background soundtrack but now I want to hear you play a guitar solo over this. I am certain it would be awesome! Cheers!
Out of all the 1-hour challenges out there, this one is by far the most beautiful. I've had an unimaginably tough week, made worse by losing my brother... this brought a smile to my face, and honestly I was crying at the same time.
Anyway, Eric Johnson swears he wrote Cliffs of Dover in about 5 minutes ( "I don't even know if I can take credit for writing 'Cliffs of Dover' ... it was just there for me one day ... literally wrote in five minutes ... kind of a gift from a higher place that all of us are eligible for. We just have to listen for it and be available to receive it."), so maybe if I'd give it 5 months I would create something listenable. :D
Absolutely amazing. Love how it all came together then got genuinely nervous when you PICKED UP a guitar with 32 seconds left on the clock. The balls on this man!
I'm a musician (guitarist and songwriter) for about 25 years, your videos has inspired me so much. Many of my ideas has lyrics, but you inspire me to do more instrumentals, it makes me want to study and learn more. Thank you very much for that. Cheers!
Just watched this video and I wished I watched it sooner! I'm actually taking a songwriting class right now so watching you make split-second decisions and planning out your song in just one hour is very impressive.
Me and my friend did something really similar - a TOW hour song challenge! (I played guitar and he keyboards) but you did it so much better in so much less time. I sort of adore you after watching this.
This song is pure sweetness. You know, when I see someone who can truly express himself with music AND create something beautiful at the same time, I use to say he "has understood the music". You totally do, man, and watching such an artist having fun and enjoyng his playing while making something beautiful is truly inspiring for us all. Also 12:33 fuck your keyboard
I really enjoy your attitude the way you attack the descriptions and your actions on how to play music it's just all Beyond me a little bit but it inspires people I'm sure other than me just sending it out there keep up the greatness and very good at what you do
I kind of learned alot by watching this.. I always wanted to record myself, all the instruments (guitar, bass, drums etc), but I only have a guitar. I was aware I can do bass lines on a guitar, now I only need to find a program to make my notebook keyboard into a drum kit :D
easily the best 1 hour song challenge I've heard. That was super cool, I love the ambient feel and this could easily be expanded into a killer sound track tune (or, you know... used as is because most soundtracks use less than 2 minutes of music at a time)
You are by far one of my fave YT guitarists without a doubt. Ya know, a LOT of people have done these "60 minute song challenges", but no one has made it look quite as easy as you have. Like it almost looked like you already had a song put together. Just shows your 2nd to none, advanced knowledge of music theory. You are a straight friggin music GENIUS, my friend!!!
You are amazing! I have a wish of my life to play guitar along with you. I don't really like any guitar tutorials on TH-cam but you are the first one to get my attention this much. I really love the way you narrate with just the stuff necessary with no trash talking. Love the way you teach. So, I'm working hard for wish i told earlier. Keep on the good work. Cheers! 😊
Every single time when i watch your videos, i play my guitar until night. And fuck i watch'em every fucking day. Your videos are very inspiring. Keep up the good work...
You're such an inspiration to all aspiring musicians out there Paul, myself included!! Hope to see more content like this and remember that you're such an amazing person!! Keep making music!!
already at around 3 minutes or so and without hearing the final result you can feel that this one is going to be great! I really love your vibe, Paul i am now officially hooked to this channel :)
Ugo Juliano u mean how to write melodies? Best thing to do it stick to chords and use the scales to help u if ur not singing and using instruments but it’s just inspiration and practice ig
Oh my God..This morning i thought of an idea similar to this and i thought i was the first one to do this. To take exactly an hour to make a song. Then this guy comes here with the same idea just couple of hours later???
I really enjoy your channel and your music . Currently I am stacking up for your learn practice play course , I am an eternal newbie and I see myself in your introduction to the course so thank you for that and all your content

That is a really good track for just 1 hour (P.S: That is the most unique keyboard I've ever seen😂)!
Perfect for a really cool game
Instrumentals are still songs. This came out really well regardless if you wanna call it a track or a song. It's awesome!

I tried writing a song with lyrics, recording, and mixing it in one hour... 6 hours later I’m still working on it, lol. Fantastic job man!
I think the key is to have low expectations. Haha. Did you ever finish it?
I NEED TO KNOW!!! DID YOU FINISH THE SONG
He is still writing...
Legend says that he is still working on it n never Finnished it
Lol.. I did! It took me days… or seemingly years…
When I made a riff: “What a great stuff.”
After 100 recording: “I hate this music.”
Shota M that’s so me! and after i record a song or a melody or whatever that i like and then listen to it over n over again cuz it sounds so good it all of a sudden starts sounding like shit :D
I have been there😂😂😂
@@davesmith8341 On to the next one.
@Me, Also Me Hope so....
I can soooo relate
These kind of videos are fun to watch, because we are all watching you having fun making music and that is inspiring.

That smile of accomplishment is a high onto its own, my favorite part of learning something new, practicing it and mastering something you never thought was possible is a great feeling for sure!
Huh, cool seeing you here :D
True bro
The more fun yo can make it the more time you will do it. The more time you do it the better you will get.
Came back to the comments section to let you know that your track’s main melody has been sticking in my mind for the last two hours. Love it!
Borrow it for your own song?
By far, my favourite 1-hour-challenge song (followed by Adam Neely's). It's very solid and, unlike some others, we can follow the composing process and understand how it was built from scratch. Awesome content, Paul.
I don't recal Adam doing the 1-hour challenge.. What are you talking about?
Adam did one?
It was a live video, I watched a tiny bit where he murdered a vocal chop. Sadly, I couldn't make it to the end.
I don't publish videos on TH-cam, but I thought live videos remained on the channel. Maybe he deleted it (?). Still, here's the song: adamneelymusic.bandcamp.com/track/song-made-and-mixed-live-in-one-hour
I really liked Mary Spenders 1 hour song as well. But this is definitely my favourite.
6:33 The inevitable moment while writing new music when you realize your song sounds just like another song. Happens every time.
i know right! then i feel like i’m subconsciously copying someone. the worst is when i don’t remember what song it is
That happened to me 2 times!!
I produce professionally for singer/songwriters, and this happens to me one in every five times I start on something. I'll have had something stuck in my head that week, and as I sit there listening to a half done project, all I can think is, "....fuck. That's literally just inverted Sweet Child O' Mine" or something along those lines lol.
THE. FUCKING. WORST.
I was coming up with a song on piano, and I was thinking, "Wow, this is really good!" Later I realized it was exactly the same as You Never Give Me Your Money by The Beatles...
I love the fact that your fingers do a vibrato on the sample pad.
JamesShore1990
Lol
I also do that but when I play my keyboard with a guitar sound 😂
It is involuntary 😂😂🎸
The pads he's playing on are called "launch pads" theyre pressure sensitive so when he does the vibrato it actually does it to the note FR.
was just about to comment that
Story of my life
2:29 that sounds so beautiful 😍
The melody is kind of like L's theme from death note
4:30
Trying to add vibrato to the drums 😂
But i'm guilty of this too
was going to make same comment, thought it'd be too geeky....evidently I've found my tribe in this comment section. Vibrato on a snare....who knew?!
sometimes it be like that
I use vibrato on my kick
Piano too 😂😂
I play violon and it's been 6 years but I still don't know how to make a good vibrato X)
*skipping 30 seconds ahead*
Cuts to
"For your short attention spans"
i also skipped to the exact moment like u lol
I love your style so much
Thanks!
Paul Davids: too much compression on the guitar
Me at home: What the hell is compression
Also me at home: can't hear a difference
An effect that compress and give more treble in the sound of the guitar
A compressor doesn't necessarily add treble. A compressor reduces dynamics by attenuating the volume whenever it becomes louder than some threshold, effectively reducing the "peaks" in volume. The overall volume is then typically increased, which gives the sound more sustain.

I really enjoyed the sped up version when you were doing your beginning bass lines. I thoroughly enjoy your final too. Great work in an hour.
I love the genuine happiness at 11:36-11:40, great job. Its nice to see how talented people work. Additionally, I love your jacket.

Hey dat is lekker
This song has been stuck in my mind for two weeks, I really love it! ❤️
Nailed it.
if anything, this challenge shows how you cannot simply know your instrument. your level of knowledge about your gear and computer is astounding!
Love the way it turned out!! Definitely going to take inspiration from your song-writing habits!
You really should collaborate with Rob Scallon. That would be amazing.
That would be epic.
I love the last part with the power chords, absolutely amazing. Saludos de Ecuador!!
You're killing me with the quality content Paul, I wish I could subscribe twice!
well I have no idea how I even found this video, fell down some weird rabbit hole and yet here I am, watched the entire thing and was amazed, that was just incredible to witness, raw pure talent, congratulations on that sounds fantastic
Good enough for sims background menu music :)
The7thSin That's genius. 😍😍😍
Absolutely agree!
Actually, I can imagine adding lyrics to this, about how one is still curious and amazed at how life is.
I was thinking about sims too but I'm 9 months late to comment dat.
Awesome track! Cool build up, really enjoyed when the power chords hit in!
You're by far my favorite TH-camr. I love your videos
7:24 when she whips out her deck of Pokémon cards
This is by far the best 1 hour song challenge outcome I've seen, absolutely amazing how talented you are Paul
Usually great guitarists aren't good teachers and great teachers often aren't so skilled guitarists. You Paul are the perfect teacher and one of the best players I've seen... Thank yiu
Very interesting...educational, enlightening, entertaining. I know you said this is perhaps for a background soundtrack but now I want to hear you play a guitar solo over this. I am certain it would be awesome! Cheers!
yeah my initial thinking was this song needs a kickass bluesy guitar solo right after the build-up
Out of all the 1-hour challenges out there, this one is by far the most beautiful. I've had an unimaginably tough week, made worse by losing my brother... this brought a smile to my face, and honestly I was crying at the same time.
By far this one was the most interesting and fun to watch in all the 1 hour song challenge.
Paul this was amazing, you're such a talent.
I really like the bells actually. Easily my favourite edition here.
Ow! Sounds Perfect! Very expressive! I love!
Paul "I can add the bass-line on a guitar"
-my culture aint your damn prom dress
Well, I'm not alone. I do that too since I don't have a bass.
Davie504 would have called the police
Dalm?
You make beautiful plays, riffs and closing chording. Danke schon.
I too can write a song in one hour. It would be a shitty mess played awfully but it would still be a song written in one hour.
I normally try to write songs in 15 minutes and they sound kinda terrible.
Maybe I should give myself an hour. :P
Anyway, Eric Johnson swears he wrote Cliffs of Dover in about 5 minutes ( "I don't even know if I can take credit for writing 'Cliffs of Dover' ... it was just there for me one day ... literally wrote in five minutes ... kind of a gift from a higher place that all of us are eligible for.

Looks like so much fun to play and put together a song. Paul davids is definitely the guitar instructor every guitarist should have.

He showed that. Turn it into midi. :-D
I use a EHX POG pedal for bass. You can make it to where it only plays a low octave.
Nice work.
Thanks for showing us the creative process.
And yeah it sounds good
This made me feel like watching a cooking show, always end at the last second no matter what xD My favorite one by far Paul, youre an awesome musician
