Eventually ZZ Top came on, but not before an hour intermission waiting for the storm to pass. It never passed, but they played anyway! Southerners don't fear a little lightning!

    After playing nothing but acoustic for forty years I decide to get an electric. Found a cheap strat on Craigslist. $175. Didn’t know or care much what it was beyond being electric. It’s a one pickup one knob Made in Japan Contemporary Strat.
    “85-‘86. Since then have watched players talk about the one pickup thing. Phil X and others. Gotta say, it’s Sweet. I can’t handle too many knobs and switches anyway. Tone is fantastic. Put a Buzztone pickup in it after watching Sped Spedding on RUclips talking about them. Great lesson! Thanks🤙🤙

    I’m late to the party, but I just saw ZZ Top tonight. They played “I gots to get payed.” They also played a song which is similar, “My Head’s In Mississippi.”
    That song really emphasizes the syncopation, and is quintessential Billy Gibbons getting jiggy on the hybrid picking. The dude is a legend!
    And it was a killer show! Dudes in their 70s rocking it out with authority! My only disappointment was they didn’t play “Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers.” But they were in top form!
    Elwood crushed on bass. Dusty would be proud!

    Another great video. The stuff you do is so varied. From Eddie Van Halen to Billy Gibbons in a week. Always learn something I can use. Have you thought about talking about how you get the tones you use. Doesn’t matter if it’s amps and pedals or modelling, the principles are the same. I’d not have thought to use fuzz and a tele. I’m guessing it’s quite clean and a little fuzz.

    I am looking for some home studio monitors. I tried some in a store and liked the Yamaha hs series. You appear to have a set - do you like them? Would you get the 7s or the 8s?
