Notes
I have always been a huge fan of the gorgeous dissonant rub of sliding two note scales...there is so much good shit in there, and NO ONE does it....but i do it....cuz i think it sounds fuckin' cool.

check out this pedal kids....i can't find a single thing to complain about with it...and that is pretty rare.

THANK YOU TO ALL you sweethearts for all the recent PayPal and Venmo donations...i really appreciate the comments saying that you guys are getting a lot out of these videos.

Well, ya' know, i never got to replace CC in Poison... which was my dream all along.

i might have failed the BIG dream...but at least i can show you guys a few licks now that I'm old

Notes
Uncle Larry gets deep in the weeds discussing Gibson's early dealings with the legendary Ray Dietrich.

Just for the record, the refin prototype bird i am showing in this video is currently owned by Drew Winn from Guitar House in Tulsa and he is actually selling it. I think it's in the 35K range, let me know if you are interested.

a LOT of new viewers have recently asked "where is the tip jar?" when they felt led to contribute something after 248 free guitar lessons
