He has very unique and interesting techniques that makes him sound unlike anyone else. Many times that right hand of his is plucking strings, working the whammy bar , and the level control at the same time. He can also play anything. Some great rockabilly playing videos of him out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its made for him from a few different guitars by Fender Custom Shop builder J.W.Black. He has big hands and most of his guitars have an extra thick neck.

He has big hands and most of his guitars have an extra thick neck. as my kid (youngest) grew and matured his preference in neck size / shape has changed - so he's been acquiring and changing and swapping necks on his strats two of his more recent builds below - the ocean turquoise strat has hot gold lace sensor pickups I believe Jeff Beck used at one time (and/or they were featured on a special Beck model strat) Edited May 7, 2020 by tom2p 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He never plays the same rendition the same way twice. There is always something new and unique to expect and look forwards to. Always searching for new sounds and how to make them. I believe that in order to really appreciate all he does one has to look closely at his hands. The number of different things he does with his right hand at the same time and the speed at which he does it is mind boggling. Unless one is looking at it attentively one would never notice.

r356c 375 #1300 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) EARWORM REMOVAL TOOL I don't listen to classical music much if at all. This is my home remedy for an 'earworm reset'. It's right up there with a big teaspoon of peanut butter for hiccups. This has never failed to clear a recurring song in my head. A 210 year old composition and a 60 year old recording. The old timers knew stuff... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-GotNlXSo Edited May 21, 2020 by r356c speeling as usual 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
