    Their drummer died last year. He is now the late son of Yes' Steve Howe. I need to get a Gretsch, or sneak a Vibramate onto Mom's ES 330. She might me 81 but she would still probably shoot me with her Colt 38 Special, for putting a Bigsby on her 1960 red guitar. Johnny Smith gave her that and a Dove prototype as a wedding gift. Yes, the Walk Don't Run, Johnny Smith.

    Is it possible to play this with a Stratocaster, or do I need the one he has. I’m a noob, and I’m doing, or trying to do what he’s doing, somewhat half accurately, and it doesn’t sound half right. Do I need a specific kind of guitar to play this song. I know I SHOULD have a whammy bar, I don’t, but I’m just lost.

      Maybe put pressure at the back of the neck and push and pull, it's the closest thing you can get to a whammy effect without the bar. You just need to be sure to be using your picking arm as a resistance so you can actually have a set point to bend from.
