Thanks G-man!
Yep, 50 years ago I was just getting started . .
That was the year I got my first guitar too.
and Thank You Don, yes I composed it. That way I won't have to worry about paying royalties or mechanical licensing fees.
Stu, there's nobody with a name like that building for Herb. Barry Jenkins cuts the bodies for him, Chris Caulk machines the hardware, and Steve Muster does the beautiful finishes on the guitars. Herb does all the wiring, assembly and final adjustments himself.
No Larry, Moe or Curly here . .
I've had a few requests for how-to videos of this song.
So I posted 14 videos on YouTube that break it down phrase by phrase, note by note, pull by pull.

The first one is here. |
