Homeskoolin’ Bonus “John Hancock Blues”

Chapters
00:00 - Hello, friends! / Trip The Witch / Gibson Catalog / Sunn Amp


Notes
Hello friends…. the Trip The Witch signed posters and CD's are back!
https://shop.bandwear.com/collections...

and...before i change my mind, if you’re interested in the coolest Sunn amp of all time, i am asking 3800.00 cash money for the head and 4x10 cabinet....and of course it's straight as hell. email me at tombukovac@gmail.com

Just FYI…the only other Sunn Coliseum PA head available at this moment on reverb is a clone….AND it’s 6k.

Or…i would consider a trade for THE RIGHT 1969-73 Hiwatt 100 watt head…but it has to be straight,....no monkey business...gotta have original trannies and all that shit….no late 70’s/ 80’s stuff....gotta be 69 thru 73 kids...unless you have one of those early script logo ones that are made of pure unobtainium.

As you know, Larry likes the old shit

Notes
Hello class!!! Its your weird old uncle….tonites lesson teaches you how to play "Space Wagon" from the Trip The Witch record that came out recently. This track is probably my personal fave on the album, although its a bit of a wall flower at first glance.

Today was day one of a four day Morgan Wallen record at Blackbird studios in Nashville….its nice to be able to camp out for a few days and get weird…bring out the weird toys.

I’m actually totally serious about eventually making the move to all combo amps….the big head/cabinet scenario has served me well for many years, but I always like to keep evolving and trying new things.

Thanks so much for the kind words about the TTW album, Dean and I really appreciate it.
