Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Haunted Switch”

Chapters
00:00 - '62 Gibson stereo output with varitone
04:17 - Varitone shades of unusable tones.
06:00 - Pull the cord out a bit to get mono neck pickup / Popping switch



Notes
I have been asked MANY MANY times about my thoughts regarding the stereo Gibson models of the late 50’s/early 60’s…the ES-345 and ES-355…people always wonder how they sound next to a typical golden era mono ES-335 that we all love, because the stereo guitars are usually a bit more affordable.

My dear friend Drew from Guitar House of Tulsa came by for a visit last night and brought along a couple of really nice ES-355’s, including this EXTREMELY tidy 62 with a LOVELY neck in fantastic condition…which also has a haunted switch.

So of course I used this opportunity to show you Homeskoolers a very handy demonstration of the extremely vast chasm of sound difference between an old stereo Gibson and an old mono Gibson.

Yeah, that’s right…I’m always thinking of you guys….

Anyway, hope you don’t mind the phone falling over a few times, but this video should tell ya everything you need to know about the differences in the sounds between mono and stereo old Gibsons.

editor's note..at :32 i meant to say "mono 335", not "mono 355"

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Real Inside Shit”

Chapters
00:00 - Pro Tools transfer from mixer


Notes
Don’t feel bad if you don’t understand any of the shit these guys are doing…neither do I.

My genuine love and respect for great recording engineers is well documented…you guys have heard me say many times that the most important guy in the band in the engineer….you have also heard me say that when I walk into a session, the very first question I ask is “who’s engineering?”

you have also heard me say that even if Christ Himself put The Perfecf Band together for The Ultimate Comeback Record…even That Band could not overcome a terrible engineer…..

Simply put, no matter who you are, you GOTTA have a fella around that knows how to “run the PA”

with all that being said, I will admit that I am damned glad that I figured early on what side of the glass I personally belong on

I may not get this stuff…but I’m just glad there are folks that do…

Thanks to dear Seth Morton and dear Lance ….

and thanks to Ty’s mom for the validation at the end ….
