Members onelife 3,422 Posted January 27, 2018 Members Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) This guy had a huge impact on my playing in the early days (mid 70s Crusaders era) and still blows me away from time to time. [video=youtube_share;giRayK4fQkg] I like the way he starts out playing jazz then goes Royal Scam after the drum solo - all on a tele.

Members badpenguin 753 Posted January 27, 2018 Members Share Posted January 27, 2018 He could have played jazz on a three string cigar box guitar, and made it sound like an 335! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Grant Harding 919 Posted January 27, 2018 Members Share Posted January 27, 2018 He really is amazing. How he maintains interesting melodic ideas while still playing fast is unmatched imo. I think the second part of the song is Mr 335. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a really special guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members onelife 3,422 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2018 It still sounds more like Larry Carlton than like a telecaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
