Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “Take Off Your Covers”

Chapters
00:00 - Rockin' some tunes on the Dean


Notes
My dear boy Marshall and I both absolutely FELL IN LOVE with this fantastic old 1980 Dean Z Standard in the fairly rare and exceedingly beautiful “Braziliaburst” today…..

We just couldn’t stop gawking at the thing, so we decided to adopt it and give it a good home

Now the fight is on between who gets to play it here at the crib.

This one is a classic example of that “no covers tone”, or “covers off tone” that I have always been a fan of…
You know, that unmistakable airy bite that you get from a good humbucker with no pickup covers on it…as popularized by every guitar player with a soldering iron in the 70’s.

This guitar also REALLY gives up that “sweetened thirds” thing that EVH made popular…where the thirds on the G and B string are so perfectly squared off in tune that it makes your hair stand up.

The best part is that this fine old instrument was previously owned by one of our favorite people on this entire planet….Mr Greg Voros.
