If you like the idea of having your golf swing analyzed by a pro golfer and all of his students, then this episode is for you

(editor's note) i have had several emails from people that somehow got the impression that i am offering free evaluations of people's playing....
just to be clear, i am offering these evaluations for the same 500.00 fee i charge for my in person guitar lessons.
sorry if i was somehow misleading in this video....

By the way that matchless is sold...

The model of the amp i am playing in this video is Maestro GA-45T with four gold 8" Jensen speakers in it, listed in the original catalog as a "Maestro Standard"...circa 1960....apparently harp players love these amps....harp, accordion...reeds...get it?

Bub always knows about the cool shit.
