For those of you that think this is hard, you're wrong... It's actually way harder
Playing 80 intros in one take without making cuts or mistake is insane. People don't realise how great of a guitarist Paul is.
Took youtube two long yrs to suggest this masterpiece
It’s not just remembering the notes and rhythm, but getting each and every tone so perfectly balanced… what a performance 🫡
No cuts and every riff is flawless. That’s talent. Practice and dedication is key.
Not only did he nail the riffs, but the tone for each riff was almost spot on. Thats crazy
Men the fact you play 80 songs intros back to back flawlessly is just awesome ... there should be an ULTRA MEGA LIKE button for videos like this
Remembering 80 guitar intros and playing them all of them correctly in a single take, that's something Incredible 🔥 Edit: So many 'PRO' Musicians out there in the replies having problem about the complements given to Paul. I mean I would love to see you peoples' cover then and moreover in the description he himself mentioned it was all a single take and was done by heart.

As I listened to this (while washing the dishes and making my breakfast) I was struck by several things: 1. How much work Paul put into being able to perform this Intro-Medley. 💪🥳👍🎶🎶🎶 2. How many amazing songs are out there and how many of those I already know, (like 80%) 3 How it really made me feel connected to the past, to the present, to the future! 4. How there are so many more songs that have great intros (Stairway, Snow, Money fer Nuttin’ 😊, and on and on). 5. How many dishes I had to wash. 6. And finally, how amazing it is that we have YouTube, the Internet, and all these amazing resources now. The sky is no longer the limit, the only limit is what we do with it ! Cheers
Not even was he able to play these flawlessly, he nailed the tone on most of them. Very impressive considering it was all done in a single take.
That was mind blowing. And a testament to the versatility of the Strat.
Amazing stuff
13:26 G.O.A.T wasn't expecting that but definitely brought a smile on my face
Not only did you memorize 80 guitar intros and do it in one take, but you captured each songs guitar tone as best as you could as well. Absolutely incredible.
Seeing the dates next to the songs is really surprising how old some of these songs are and are still played day in day out all over the world. Timeless classics
So….not only did you do this in one take, off the top of your head, but you covered artists across decades of music history in different genres? you have talent. My respect dude! FYI you nailed that aint talkin bout love intro.
Not many people will understand just how insanely brilliant this is. Not just remembering & playing 80 riffs flawlessly in one take, but he went full out and didn’t shy away from those technically difficult ones [e.g. snow] toward the end. My brain and fingers would have melted way before that point. Amazing stuff man!
Let's be real. The 70s held it down so hard. That decade is so pivotal for rock / metal. Also it was cool to see the progression of the years. Well done
