    Hey Michael and Jen. There’s an interview with Les Paul on the Musician’s Hall of Fame UA-cam channel during which he said that the real reason he had Gibson take his name off of the SG Les Paul wasn’t because he disliked them. Instead he said that the change came at the time that Mary Ford was divorcing him, and he cut ties temporarily with Gibson and his record company to keep them out of the settlement.

    @MisterRorschach90 3 роки тому +1

    In highschool I played in a post hardcore screamo type band. Honestly I think we had some pretty catchy songs for young teenagers. We had a friend who was basically our roadie. He came to every show and helped setup and breakdown the gear. He lived vicariously through our band because he was never able to learn guitar well enough to play. That didn’t stop his extremely wealthy parents from buying him a vintage sg. Occasionally he would let me play it during shows, but I couldn’t get over the fact that it was heavier, and sounded and played worse than my Tom Delong strat. Still that thing looked nice on stage. And while it didn’t sound as good, and it didn’t play as good, it made soloing feel like autopilot. I remember one show during a breakdown, the entire crowd started moshing harder than I’d ever seen a crowd mosh for us before, and it sent me into a trance where I just started playing the most complex and crazy solo I’ve ever conjured. I was able to sweep for the first and last time, the band realized quickly that I was breaking from the breakdown and followed along perfectly. I will NEVER forget that show. Sadly I will probably never feel something like that ever again. My calluses fell off recently and no matter what I do they won’t grow back. Even when they start back, they just fall off again. Very painful.
