I love this old stuff because they were more capable than todays guitarist even realize and many missing links are found in these videos along with countless subgenres to derive from this.
@@sumoslap1973 It's not a crime to be unaware of a musician. Plenty of similarly incredible players from this ere ARE pretty much household names; today's guitarists aren't going around thinking every older guitarist was shit.
Well. It's all in the listener's tastes. There are many players today who are extraordinary, they just play a different style of music that understandably, some people might not appreciate.
With a little Chet Atkins also, but Buddy makes it his own, as you say. Everybody is influenced by somebody. An artist stands out as himself, as Buddy does.
It doesn’t effect the sound much, but it cuts the noise (60 cycle hum) pretty heavily. This is because the entire pickguard is metal, helping to ground all of the wiring attached to it. This is why plastic pickguards often have copper foil on the backside.
Faceva anche dei bendings, ed all'epoca non erano così "scontati" e facili, dato che si utilizzavano soprattutto corde dure e pesanti. Fu Ernie Ball, a quanto si dice, a cercare di convincere Leo Fender a fornire delle corde più leggere, ma Leo (che non era un chitarrista, mentre Ball sì...) non ne voleva sapere...allora lo fece Ernie Ball stesso. Dopo qualche tempo, visto il successo delle corde Ernie Ball, anche Fender dovette immettere sul mercato mute più leggere, sennò...perdeva vendite e clienti...
