Lots of soul in his playing for sure. I used to sit and listen to him for hours at M.I. during his open counselings when I went there in the mid 00s I just hung out there. Def could not play anything he played but I really loved the sound and just taking it all in. I’m happy he didn’t kick me out 😂😂
I looked up this guy when I heard him say in an interview that he didn’t take up the guitar till he was 17. That would seem too late for most people to reach an advanced level, but he apparently was quite an animal about learning. Also, though, I think he said he was a sophomore in high school, so he might have been “only” 15 or 16. Going to listen to some more of his playing.
he basically uses blackface style Fenders or whatever brand has something similar,today he uses Redplate blackline,also in overdrive channel. remember he always adds reverb and a long delay
I love Allen's playing, but this was more basic than I'd hoped. Also, why can't TrueFire do some simple audio editing and mute your vocal channel on those sniffles. It's so easy to do and I feel for ya buddy! Is that a No caster?
This guy has an appreciation of music like no one I've ever heard before. He uses the word "beautiful" so much. He just loves the sound.
Notice how he vibratos even the simple chords, he is comited to every little thing he plays. That is a lesson right there from a real musician.

Thank you Allen for sharing your knowledge with us. I only wish TH-cam was around when I picked up the guitar back in the early 1960's.
Matchrocket you’re so right!
What amo was he using? Sounds incredible as always..

I had to stretch my top 10 favorite players to 11

Charlie, one pick up so it’s an Esquire. Lovely sound so maybe an original ‘52 pickup - the neck looks great also.
He sounds like he caught Covid.
Great guitar player. Nasty sinus infection.
