Formerly TheGuitarWeasel ... Oil City Pickups ... Oil City Blog 7 String.org profile and message
Firstly, thanks for sharing the vid; great to see it's got people talking! In regard to adjusting the volume, it's just a habit I've developed through constantly flicking between my pick and fingers. I've never seen the volume knob as a 'set and forget' kinda thing...
I can't remember exactly where the volume for each pickup was set in the video but I would say that neither were above 6 or 7 at the video's loudest point. I know that neither were 'wide open' at any point. It's part of the fun of playing a guitar that good; there's a clarity and definition from 1 through to 10. I just wish I'd had more time with it...and in regard to adjusting the neck pickup volume when I was on the bridge, it was in anticipation of going onto the middle position which you can see me do just as the video fades. Unfortunately, Bernie came in and started talking to me just as I did that, hence the video fading! C'est la vie. Next time!
Either way though, thanks for watching. Also, yes to those speculating it's a DiMarzio replacement.
Sounded great dude
Very nice playing as everyone has said, I'll be subscribing.
^^ This. I started the post and think Chris has impeccable taste, tone and superb phrasing on all of his YouTube clips and I am now subscribed to his channel.
I think the camera angle of this clip brings his hand movements to the fore, it's just an observation that's all. Good angle though as I have grabbed a few of his licks to "borrow" by watching his left hand positions!
I have also been accused of being an inveterate knob twiddler from time to time, but the nuances of a good Les Paul are so addictive it's hard not to sometimes. Mine is rarely on ten either, and the expressive possibilities of keeping a loud amp under control are great fun.

That tune he plays at the start of that video is so good! I think this guy is easily one of my favourite Youtube guitar players.
