Homeskoolin’ “Evolution Of A Rock Star” Pt. 2

Chapters
00:00 - Son playing guitar


Notes
He’s 11…there are plenty of virtuoso kids out there that are 8 years old shredding Yngwie kicks, but what i don’t ever hear in a kid’s playing is that Rust Belt groove.
You can’t teach pocket…you’re either born with it or you’re not.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “Danger Will Robinson”

Chapters
00:00 - Intro, Jeff Senn
01:08 - '54 Fender Stratocaster
01:46 - Fender Middle pickup
02:04 - Senn Middle pickup


Notes
As part of my lifelong effort to defend the honor and virtue of old guitars, I offer you this short comparison

Check out how much more fucking DANGEROUS the bridge pickup on this time capsule 150k early production 54 Strat is compared to the shit I normally use.

In a side by side comparison the senn sounds like a cheap model of the 54…

Granted, it’s all about context…what song are we playing etc etc…but you gotta admit, that shit sounds damn good.

Wish I could afford it friends
