You may want to put on a seatbelt before watching this!

This'll either make you want to quit, or go back to the woodshed (which is what I'm doing!).

And what a tone!

I'm already trying to think what's the heaviest unwound G that I can get away with!

Just makes me want to work harder -- absolutely incredible. I'll never get THERE -- but, oh my, what fun in the journey.

Thanks for the link.

Makes me wanna just go back to my manicurist and get my fingernails put back on.

I think I'll go back to knitting or something.

Thanks for sharing that!

That's it....I quit.....

I am going to go order a bongo and sell the guitars. The guy plays better with one hand than I can with two (and maybe three or four)

If anything, seeing Legg and Kaki King play have sold me on the tone of the Adamas. Gotta get one. But if you are devastated by Adrian Legg's playing, do not, under any circumstances, watch Don Ross play.

Jeffrey, I'll take the Adamas. You know, if I had been playing for the last 30 years instead of doing something else, maybe I could play about half of that.

His left hand fingers are different, they're bent a little bit sideways from the first knuckle. They kinda grew that way from all the bends over the years.

Adamii??? Is that a proper plural for Adamas???

Yeah, I was vaguely aware that he'd taken up with a different brand, but I've really not been properly exposed to the guy until just recently. His playing transcends the instrument. As far as I'm concerned, he could be playing an old beat up Kay and I'd still love it.

He had a smaller guitar built that would fit in the airline's overhead bins easily. It's got the Ovation piezo p/u in it and damned if it doesn't look a little like a small Deacon.....

He should have tuned up BEFORE doing the gig! Sometimes I have to tune during a gig, but he makes it look cooler :)

No, seriously, I'm selling all my gear tomorrow.

Well I guess altimers (SP?) can effect anyone then. He obviously DID have good taste in guitars at one time. I guess he still has good taste in pickups.

You guys were there, Jeff? Unfortunaltely, I got carried away just before they recorded that. For some reason they didn't appreciate me standing up in the back with my lighter screaming "Free Bird! FREEE BIRRRD!!"

Sooo close, but that tequila gets me every time.
