    Johnny Winter was my first guitar hero. He said in an interview that the only effect he used was a bit of Boss Chorus. I first saw Johnny with Rick Derringer in 1970. They both had a stack of 7 or 8 Fender Twin Reverb amps.

      Johnny in 1970 with Derringer was my first concert ever. It was at Pirate’s World in Dania Bch, FL. They recorded half of the Johnny Winter And Live that night. Definitely a lifetime highlight.

    Hi Matthew, that guitar sounds amazing, but what's more important is that as the owner took good care of it, and I can imagine him, being so happy that is played and cared, by such a good player and good person as you seem to be. Take care. Congratulations to you and him.

    I have one of these with slight variations which came into the UK in the mid 1970s. My '64 or possibly a 1965 has the headstock pointing the opposite direction so the tooling was for the next edition. The guitar was purchased from Frank Lucido when the UK bands visited California, My guitar came via this method. Another excellent little film Matthew.

    Hey Mathew,
    What's good man? Thank you for educating me on amps and guitars. As a non player I am learning a ton from your videos man. Really enjoy the way you present the equipment and instruments. Very helpful for us non-players. I also wanted to tell you I gave your album a good listen on Spotify (I try to listen to an album 3 times before I decide anything about my feelings towards the music. Some very good stuff happening man. It is said that it takes 10,000 hours of doing a skill to master it and from what I heard you are well on your way man.
    I have no idea how anyone plays and sings at the same time so congratulations on that. Are you the song writer as well or do you collaborate with others or is it a mixture of both? Congratulations on everything and keep on running towards your dreams!
    Cheers,
    Pete St. John

    Great video and the guitar looks and sounds fanrtastic. Had a late 70's one in the mid 80's... Never stayed in tune and was always neck diving. My brother had a mid 70's Thunderbird Bass atthe same time and we played in the same band and looked like a pair of Turkeys no doubt... Sold mine Brother still has his. Love the channel.
