    Lorrie was Ricky Nelson's first love and the two wanted to marry. The collective parents thought the teens too young and that matrimony would kill Ricky's teen idol career. Lorrie did run off and marry her manager, a move that deeply hurt Ricky. I read that he said later in life Lorrie was his true love.

    While I will say; That's a great act. But I question it. Is that kid really playing the guitar ? I ask because it's a two neck guitar. That I know of very few people know how to play a two neck guitar. I'm gonna say, it takes a lot of practice to play that good. He's too young to possible be that good on a two neck guitar. That's why I question. Hey I could be wrong, but I'm sure I'm right.

      Yes the kid’s playing it and the double neck changes nothing about it. What he’s doing is the same thing he’d do on a standard guitar.
      A double neck requires no special technique. They can be a 12 over 6 (Jimmy Page) a 6 over 4 (guitar over bass) or like this one a short scale (tuned an octave up) over a standard 6.
