Duuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaane Allman, Robert Fripp, Mark Knopfler, Joe Perry, Michael Anthony, Glen Campbell, Rik Emmett, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Gary Moore, Paul Simon, Vinnie Moore, Michael Angelo Batio...

Add me to that list. I had no idea any of those guys where south paws, that said handedness or whatever you call it is such a strange thing to figure out. I mean my fingers on my right hand are just as responsive as the ones on my left. I'm typing this post with both hands as a matter of fact. And the guitar is a lot like that, it goes beyond the law of primacy, the way you first pick it up, I think it's a much more instinctive thing you either have a genetic need to strum with your right hand or your left. I know that kind of talk is out of favor PC wise but in this case I think it's true.

nice that you got your guitar back, and it sounds very nice.

I should get my SG back from Andrew Olsen very soon.

As for drunks in bars playing your guitar? Maybe I'm old fashioned but I only let close friends handle my shit.

Few more from the same show ...

Bridge pickup, both coils:


Middle pickup, single:


First minute or so audience feed, switches to soundboard (voice was shot by this point -- changed shirt for second set, too, hot up there under the lights!):


Shakedown, jam edited a bit (10-minute limit on Youtube):

As always...WOW. Never a pleasant situation to be in when the voice starts to go during a show...your mind knows what it wants...your ears know what to expect and the voice can't make it happen...I think you kept it together pretty damn good...and besides...it's the playing that really shines through anyway. It would be very cool to see you guys live sometime. Whenever you know of dates during the summer I hope you let me know.

Oh god, wardrobe changes!! What a Diva!

Our drummer crapped his pants, and HE didn't change.

Now that's Rock&Roll. He was making up for you, Beyonce'. You need some hotpink diamond encrusted Super II's for the guitar.

Zircon encrusted tweezers anyone?

When are you going to break out the red T-shirt?

Killer tone with the bridge PU both coils. Absolutely nailed the tone for Momma tried.

Bwahaha!

true story....our former xxxxxxx (postition withheld to avoid embarassment) did the same on a hot night in hartford when the whole band was munching fungus! After it happened the rest of the band was laughing so hard we had to cut the set half way though to try and gain our composure (you know the laughing jags you get on in those altered states?), plus it stunk up there ...........

Here I am thinking he's joking about the drummer crappin' his pants...but leave it to this board to take an absurd joke and then back it up with an actual occurance...I will never cease to be amazed at the wealth of information...and worthless, funny...(for lack of a better word) crap that this board offers.
Happy Holidays all.

I pretty much don't want to play with anyone who shits themselves in the process. Call me madcap.

John Bonham crapped his pants all the time!

What are you trying to tell me? Should I keep some Depends on hand?
