I am such a huge Boss fan until the first live album..,then he lost me..,and his music until 1985 was life-changing..,.what a great songwriter and guitarist…but his laugh here just seems so fake.listen to him laughing on his live albums..,so robust, dorky, and REAL.
Love his Esquire too….BTR and Darkness especially made me love it….

I love the HFC. Only here can we apply Hegelian dialectics to RNR. Nicely played, @LucSulla!
So many YouTube virtuosos…I love the little Aisian girl who freaking nails Bonham’s kick drum on Good Times, Bad Times.
The two things they seem to lack, as @LucSulla states, is creativity and emotion. Not all, ….don’t wanna paint with too broad a brush…but on average…here in Mid-Missouri about 12 years ago was a 17-18 years, local kid who could play Eruption note for note. Yet he had no swing, no feel, no fire..,it was just rote memorization…,,I tried to encourage him to take his skills and create something new, he just said “But dude, I can play Eruption!”
I’d taker hear Keith riff in open G or listen to BB just lay a vibrato stinger on just one note with feeling. I mean I can play Bell Bottom Blues note-for-note but I don’t dare because I cannot play it like EC puri gnout his heart over his (at the time) unrequited love for Patti Harrison aka Layla. You can hear the pathos, the anger, the longing, the hurt in Clapton’s voice and guitar. That is what all musician’s need to feel and translate into music.

Maybe drill out some normal Strat knobs a bit so they fit the bigger shaft? The key is to go slow a little at a time…

Some people think the guitar actually sounds different, however slightly with the Trem cover removed. I have tried both ways and just don’t hear a difference.

I have never listened to Black Rose. I need to. I am a huge fan of Live and Dangerous.

I love lots of his music, but not all of it. I love how he geeks over gear just like us. I have a friend who is a close friend of his and he swears Joe is a regular and very cool, kind dude. All about guitars and amps. Just like us. I’d love to meet him and jam. His love for all my heroes is so admirable. He always gives props to those who paved the way before, be it Page, Beck, Muddy, or the Wolf.
I need to see him live.
I also admire that he owns his music, recording process, career, the entire business. He built it himself. He made himself a hugely successful businessman.What I don’t like is that he markets too much crap. Blues fly-swatters, watering cans, blues bathrobes, etc. And it seems like he releases a new album or DVD monthly…but all that is part of his business empire that I admire above.
Overall, I think our guitar world is much better with him in it.

Congrats @LucSulla! A rare and beautiful Tally there.
How do the Double Ds sound in comparison to a standard Telecaster set of pickups?

Second dibs. I have always wanted to try a Tally.

This is where Angus needs to do the true - non-AC/DC - blues album that's in him, with Brian on vocals.
YESYESYES
I have said this for years! Angus is a hard blues player in a rock format. He loved the Cream. He would excel in a blues power trio .

Tyler is and has always been a fine rock harmonica player. His style is rather unique, what with the hambone he is. I dig it.

The Gravelin Shlabotnik sisters in my Ultimate are the best buckers I have ever played. Get a set.

I use them occasionally to work out a solo, but I would play to a drumbeat to ensure good timing. I can see their value for practice.

Do you have any other known good tubes you can substitute in each position??? It being a tube amp, when something goes wrong, that's the first place I look.
Hope you get it all sorted out... 😀
This for a free start.

I am 61 now and trying to put a new rock and blues project together. I have the people to record, but I am itchin’ to play live at more than jams now….we’ll see if I it happens again. I am like @lucsulla..,I move ALOT when I play. I cannot help it, except at church where it is not about me…even then it is hard, if I’m honest.
