Great playing! What amp you running?

Miss you Nik,

I have the same model. On the chrome tail piece is 7261. In the cavity is a slip of paper and written with a pencil is “ Inspected by Gloria, (I don’t recall the month and day) 1954”. Someone on YT told me it was the legendary Gloria Fuentes.

Thanks man!

Stevie was born less than a year before me. Much like SRV, I started playing guitar at very early age, for me age 10 in 1965. We had a lot of the same influences, so when Stevie hit the scene, his music was familiar to me. The secret is that for us guitar players in the late 60’s early 70’s, word got around that if you wanted to get into next level blues chords, you had to get the Mickey Baker Jazz Guitar Volume 1. The Lenny chords are major 6 straight from the Mickey Baker book. Riviera Paradise, Superstitious, Walking the Tightrope, he’s using chords from Mickey Baker. I played guitar in my school jazz band in the early 70’s and the Baker book was my bible. First time I heard Lenny, I could play it in five minutes. It’s just a Mickey Baker major 6 moving up and down.

What amp?

Fabulous ! I do not play guitar but I enjoyed that video a lot ! Very well done.

Hi. What amp are you using? Thanks

The best one ever made

Nailed it thank you… That’s when I’m most happy, when I’m building and feeling my own thing based on what these guys did… I don’t hit my groove often, but I get in there that’s the best…

Nik, come back - miss your videos. Hope all is well.

Do you remember what amp this is ? Deluxe with the altec speaker ?

Huh?

Talk too much…

incrível. obrigado 🤠

Tools chosen by the master? He used what was available at the time really if he was alive in this day and age I'm sure his arsenal would be much bigger and more complex

Mighty!...just dug out an old TS9, Sept '81 with JRC2043DD chip, gets some bad press, apparently this chip was in the animal Stevie used..most had the JRC4558D chip

I was researching OOP after getting a used Epi Greeny, and this was the best one - you da man!

Are both these strats still 7.25 radius or have they been changed during a refret at some point.

Beautiful guitars! Really nice!

Worth doing!

I love this thank you. I'm gonna look through your channel for other pedal builds. This is great. Not sure why other people do not do more of this kind if thing

Nice ❤stuff

Interesting. But am I dumb as a tortoise when I ask why you cant achieve this simply by turning the pup round? Note that ye poles are reversed on greeny, but not in this vid. Interesting, nice playing

Have you got your guitar detuned a half step here, to E flat?

Hi Nik. I absolutely do not understand how you could get any negative comments! People who do that do not love themselves. I got sober almost two years ago so I know exactly where you are coming from . I am 55 yo and always wanted to play guitar and you inspire me. I accidentally came across your channel and love it. You are such a genuine and nice guy. Thank you and keep up the good work. You are an amazing player….

Perfect wah tone

Do you have more of these for sale, or early 70’s?

Saw John sit in with Jimmie Vaughan at C-Boys in Austin years ago - totally mature player & singer already back then.

cool job! thanks for sharing your view! I've been using PV59 on both guitars (old 62 and 54reissues japan) I love them, the difference is more on the guitars..but they're close enough to replace one with the other mid set on a live blues session.

Great video and great playing. I'm going to try this on a LP copy first. If it works out I'll do it on my '66 SG standard.

That sounds great Hendrix

Hey man awesome video; I liked the one under $100, and came right here to see more. I am new to wah's, and I recently bought a jh-1 but I hear something strange: if I go slowly with the sweep, I find a point where the volume increases and there's a resonance, and as soon as I move the foot the volume drops and the functionality gorw back to standard. What's the issue there? Is it the pot as in this video? Thanks a ton 🙏

please tell me, does Stevie control the dynamics by compressing the pick, or does he squeeze it all the time with the same force and only hits the string with different force?

A razor blade works best. It's the least invasive

So what would you do to raise the volume to boost the lead db levels without changing the tone without muckin it up. Dude I just looked through the comments I ask this same question a couple of years ago? Lol. I better look to see if you already answered it. duh. I also can’t get that huge sound from my super just straight in. I don’t have 5 or 6 grand to drop on a cougar or a half a decade to get one. Us older dudes 60 and above are looking to get that with what we got. You feel me?

How different to say just wiring it out of phase is the tone change?

Any strat video from 1959-1964 on TH-cam. SRV SRV only! You may play nothing else or this guitar will self destruct they are only made to play SRV licks on buddy!

Ronnie Earl is blues royalty! Pure class, soul and feeling.

Those are the biggest fingers I have ever seen.

Great to see a fellow guitar fan like myself. I've been buying and selling guitars and basses for nearly 50 years and i'm still as crazy about them after all these years. Good luck with selling what you need to.

Something i didn’t know until recently is 1954-55 Strat pickups are actually different from every other year. The D pole piece is the tallest on a 54-55 Strat. I have a 70th anniversary 1954 Strat and it sounds noticeably different from any other Strat I’ve played

just be careful with calling a guitar “a central fixture in your life”. Only people should have that title, not objects.

12:37

I bought a custom set off a guy who made them and they read like 4.9 in the bridge and was really cool sounding pickups. The neck was only 5.2 and middle was 5.1

I'm pretty sure Philip uses false nails on his right hand.

This Altec speakers sounds great. Do you know how it compares to EVM 12l or JBl e120 - I heard that the altec alnico magnet makes it more smooth than both the ev and the JBL ?

Dude u got to do more videos like this, where you really show a players number 1 guitar! That was 👏

sick thx bro! ur spirit guide cat is awesome!!!

That's sick as fuck
