I Absolutely Nub My New Job
 

I am playing some incredibly groovy chords and stuff. This guitar is absolutely PERFECT.

But it's the hardest thing I've ever musically done. My fingertips feel like razor blades. I haven't been able to pick my nose for almost a month. I have to learn chords with names I can't pronounce in one breath.

This is a real-life Navin Johnson picked out of the phone book story. Workin' my ass off to be livin' the dream.

You playing again somewhere?

If you pick it, it'll never heal.

(Enjoy the gig!)

the old SG with F holes.

Why are you playing a 175 for blues?

One of these days dinny and I are going to load up in an old car and come Dane hunting

On a second glance, that's not a 175, that's a Herb Ellis/165!

Those bad boys are rare. Congrats!

Have to hit the PCH in that bad hombre

It's one of the early Herbs with the fat neck. The tone is fabulous.

I'm playing Jazz. Rhythm Jazz Guitarist. Absolutely the craziest thing I've ever seen. I am accompanying a jazz violinist in a duet. If Stephane Grappelli and Jean Luc Ponty had a baby, it would be my maestro. He is amazing.

I need to learn some D'Jango ond Joe Pass licks. This music I'm playing ain't nothin' but fine, fine, fine.

I was a blues shuffle drummer for a long time. I'm too crippled to haul drums around anymore. I can still play drums, I just can't move them around.

I haven't played guitar seriously in about 35 years. But I sure as hell am now.

Where did you find the 165? That guitar is worth a minimum of $5,500 dollars. I wouldn't take it out on a gig!

What are you playing through? An old Gibson or Lab Series?

I'm glad you're having fun. Enjoy!

:)

Dinny gets all the cool shit.

Quality tone from quality tools = best product for audience. I will be wrapped around this guitar every performance, rehearsal and practice for the rest of my life.

Do you know a good solid state amp tech? I have a couple Roland Jazz Chorus amps ( a JC50 and a JC77) that I need some work done on. The 77 isn't too bad, haven't opened it up, can most likely fix it myself. The JC50 needs a miracle worker, and I would love to have it back in service. I have the chasis removed and have no problem shiiping.
