I caught the verily last part of it.

I can't wait to see both him and you in person on my nashville trip on the third week in Feb.

It's a trip I should have made years ago.

Jeff has been doing dates with Josh Turner as well.

I caught this as well. I loved the last song they did "Long Slow Kisses". It has a great classic country vibe. Jeff sounded great.

I also enjoyed the last little Wariner song using Tommy White. Great picking all around.

Thanks guys!!! You are all very kind. It is a humbling experience playing there with greats like my friends Tommy White, Steve Hinson & Jack Smith. Visiting is like old home days there. I had to fly in from Vegas after being with Josh Turner, which meant being up two days. But, worth every minute of it. So, I was a little blurred.
The guitar had a Sho-Bud pickup that Jerry Wallace just rewound and it was incredible. Webb amp settings courtesy Lloyd Green . Sincerely, Jeff Surratt

I'd love to know those Webb settings, Jeff---Lloyd's (and your) take on a Webb would add tremendously to the knowledge base.

Some have been asking about the Webb amp settings I used at the Opry. They are as follows as I got them from Lloyd himself.
sens. 5, vol. 5, treb. 2, mid 2 bass 2 rev. 4, tone 2 or yellow straight up
equalizer, right side
-2,-2,0,-1,+2
Your preference may be different, but the Sho-Bud guitar works best at these for us. The Webb is a very rich and full sounding amp. It's the first time I've really cut through after doing the TV spot many times. Thanks for the tip Lloyd. Jeff

And when he's not playing with Josh Turner, dodging deicers on airport runways, or playing on the Opry, he's turning out beauties like this:



MANY more pictures to follow after 17Feb.

Jeff, or someone else who knows for sure, I have been confused by the -/+ numbers on the rotary knob of the Webb. My first thought is that you turn a knob counter clockwise for a negative number but it appears to me that the numbers to the left of zero are negative which means you turn the knob clockwise past zero for a negative number. Seems like a dumb question but I would like to know I am on the same page with everyone else.
