On that album during Boy named Sue that amp is cooking to the point that he’s absolutely controlling the breakup with his picking. When he really digs in and it starts breaking up, that’s one of if not my favorite live moments in music history. Edit- actually looking back that was actually on the San Quentin album and was Bob Wooten! But the point is the same. I absolutely love that little nuance and point it out to anyone that will listen. I call it playing on the ragged edge of ragged.
Again - great sound and playing! One little suggestion for improvement if you don't mind: To my ear it sounds like Luther plays the walkdown from G to E in "25 Minutes To Go" on the open A followed by the 1st fret of the A-string and then the open E. He does the same on "The Legend Of John Henrys Hammer" I think. But I also played it the way you do for many years until I recently found out. And since you seem to be a perfectionist like I am when it comes to Luthers sound, I thought I'll share my thoughts with you. Let me know what you think. :)
GRG | Get Rhythm it is a lot of people think Luther used half rounds but he didn’t. It’s a new set of light gauge flatwound strings and bright setting on the amp to get the sound
There's rumors that Luther used half wound at Folsom, i tried half and didnt get the Folsom sound... However, with actial flats and the distortion cranked a bit i got it
be great if you could show the difference between Luther's playing and the more advanced Bob Wootton playing....Bob Wootton on "Man in Black" is one of the best..
Awesome video AR Cash great to hear more about Luther.
Great video's learning a lot. Luther also really Kicked it in the A#$ on this take. I'm sure you know he also played a Jaguar for a short time.

Hey, A.R! Great video! I have an old Super Reverb myself, so treble on 7 and bright switch up, that must be very very bright?

Thanks Aron for keeping Luther Perking memory alive 👍 look forward to your next video
Ron Martinez Thank you very much!
Great very informative

Luther did not use distortion what you're hearing is the tubes oversaturating
Would these settings work with the Bob Wootton style too?
I got a question, would this work with Bob Wootton too? Because I have a combo with both Perkins and Wootton.
