Strung together a couple clips of cell phone footage from my gig a couple weeks ago. Not my PRS, but a bunch of the other gear I talk about on here: my pedalboard, Blues Deluxe amp, Blue Chip picks (not that you can really hear that, but anyway). And there is the fabulous PRS Paisley strap in action. We all know it is a tone enhancer.

Ok I don't have any videos or recordings of my PRS by itself. But the other guitar player in my band records our jam sessions on a small digital recorder placed in the middle of room. We generally just jam out once a week. Sometimes we play originals, sometimes covers, and sometimes just play a chord progression. We mostly play Dead songs which lend themselves to improvising well. It's all about jamming and having fun and not at all about trying to reproduce a song. Its all un-rehearsed and most of it we make up on the spot. It surprises me sometimes when we kind of just sync up and it sounds good. (it also annoys me when I mess up the chords lol - which happens a lot.)
Anyway - if you listen to any of the long recordings on the channel the other player does most of the lead on a Tele. I probably play rhythm 60-70% of the time - clean or small amount of OD - often on bridge pickup and split coil sometimes to get that bright loud rhythm sound. ...But this one recording was an impromptu blues jam while we were waiting for the other guitar player to setup. (we never do blues) I'm playing CE24 through Blues Jr. I'm sure I was playing the neck pickup with Tone down halfway at least. Not sure what pedals I had at the time but I think I may have staked a tube screamer and Fulldrive??? I had no plan or idea what I was going to play and didn't know he was recording so we were just screwing around. Made a lot of mistakes (not more than normal) but I loved how got a Les Paul kind of sound out of the PRS so thought I'd post it.
New sonic territory: an alternate tuning I'll call Dumeril Standard. It's DADAAD, or an open D5.
Here's a backing track workout that includes barre-across chords (F5, A5, G5 for example) but also some new grips I came up with. Those create D minor and D minor no 5th, as well as some sus2 and sus 4 chords. The point is to keep at least three open strings ringing.
Anyone's welcome to jam along and create some leads over these. On with the show:

It's just one guitar, a PRS SC-J. There's no chorus, no doubling, no multi-tracking - that ringing is the guitar itself in DADAAD.
==K==
PS - One of the grips creates a chord that, low to high, spells DDDDDD. I'm guessing that's some sort of D chord.
Two beautiful songs, and a great job on both!
Hey, thank you for posting them. Really enjoyed both.
