Tim,

Thanks for coming out of the closet with that one!

I have long thought about using a ring type slide on my left thumb along with a tone bar for hammer-ons and cord modification. I never thought of how you have done it. Great work! You got your "Mojo Workin" man. That Teisco sounds hot, very cool. Open E tuning?

Best,

Rich
