Obvious talent BUT sometimes less can be more.
I think this was one.

Watch the sequence from 5:00 to 6:00...hell watch the whole damn thing!

The take a drink and pretend yawning is what we call being a "wanker" he lost me regardless of how good he plays.

The 1970's was my fun time! I took ten years off and I still got more done than any other time in my life. I really loved skinny girls. And rye whiskey.

I remember watching that video in the OP a while back and I must say that he is definitely a great guitar player and knows how to master the Telecaster guitar like no one can.

Am I the only one who thinks he would sound better if he played less of them?

perhaps but then he would be BB King.....

BB the King of the ones string blues.

 

[eSGEe]

nope-- he used 2 mostly lol

His singing has too much excitement in that voice. I can see him mumbling any blues song any place.

You saw BB King the early years when he attempted a power chord. Great set of videos, there was one video that showed Jerry Garcia move on stage. Some think he moved because one of the drugs was wearing off. Then there is a school that believes that Bob Weir farted and poor Jerry didn't want to get any on himself.

HE didnt want to work "too hard"

 

[kevinpaul]

HE didnt want to work "too hard"

Close, that is why he used number 8 strings. He told Billy Gibbons, Billy has been hiding from work since he left Texas, started with the 7 strings. I want to be a real sloth do number 6 strings.

 

[eSGEe]

dont think I could find #6 E strings......

 

[syscokid]

Oooooohh! Did someone say Roy Buchanan?

 

[kevinpaul]

I can't find an eight and I went to sevens. The thing is you know it's there, even when the guitar is in the case. It's called blind faith, I'm nearly blind and that string is there. I think it was that sound I cut my finger on. Yep a sharp!
