more COWBELL!!

ha, that's one THE great cowbell tunes. like honky tonk woman...ya can't play it if the drummer left the cowbell at home.

hard to see in the vid but i was gonna guess you were playing a LP Jr. staying close to the the script of The Great Fatsby himself.

i used to haunt the music stores of 48th st in NYC. one day i was about to head in to the infamous We Buy Buy Guitars.....they only dealt in used and vintage gear. anyway...for those ain't hip, it had a pretty small area for you to walk in and stand in front of the counter and all the goodies were behind the glass "storefront" ceiling to floor "walls". if you presented yourself a serious potential buyer you'd ask to check something out and if they deemed you worthy they'd let you behind the counter to check out the axe or amp you were interested in.

anyway the line to get in the place is out into the street! never saw that before. i get a little closer and realize why....leslie west is in there trying out a half dozen or so vintage LP Jrs!

The LP Special is like a fancy Junior; the Jr only has one pickup, the Special two. The Special is also a little heavier than most Juniors I've tried. But very similar!

Similar to my Goddess ? One tone & one volume pot / short neck ?

Now you're talking! Everybody played it right. One suggestion - start the song with the same energy you picked up by just before the lead.

Great job though, and a favorite of mine.
