Notes
Uncle Larry gets balls deep into some old Kalamazoo and shows you several variations of nature’s single coil, the Gibson P-90

i totally forgot to include my 61 SG special in the mix....this might call for a recount

here is the link to Uncle Larry's new instructional guitar course...over eight hours of detailed professionally shot multi camera lessons with tabs....
if you check the comments and look at what people have commented on Gearpage (if you can stomach it) t has been getting rave reviews from even the most skeptical tight ass consumers who desperately WANTED to hate it.
