    Lol.... "i can play Van Halen bedder dan uuuu". What a dufus. As the great Victor Wooten responded to a troll once, "He says from home". Buk, you're one of the best guitar players on the planet. Anyone that knows anything hears the absolute lifetime commitment you've made to music, not just guitar but music as a whole. Thanks for putting out these snippets of your life. Not only will your boys look at them for years to come, but there's so much wisdom in all of these.

    "Put the cell phone down, sit your ass there with a nice cold beer, and try to make a memory of watching it and look at the people you're with and share it with them." 100%! That perfectly sums up one of my favorite (and most powerful) memories. I was watching Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds perform The Ship Song at the LA Forum; incredible musicians playing a haunting melody in a beautifully lit venue. A beer in one hand, my other arm wrapped around my wife's shoulders, and memories of my recently passed mother floating through my head. An amazing moment, and I wouldn't trade it for anything, despite it making me tear up every time I remember it.

    While you were playing that great song Mind Games for the class, my dad took me to see Paul McCartney perform with his band at the O2. He's still got it - he played for 3 hours non stop hits and masterpieces. There were only a few songs I didn't know, but they were also beautiful. It was strange watching him sing "John songs" like Mr Kite, or "George songs" but they were beautiful tributes to lost friends. They even did a bit of Foxy Lady and told a personal Jimi story. There aren't too many guys like that around...

How many records have these bozo's played on, probably zero. Wish I lived closer so that I could see you, Jedd, and Gutherie Trapp kicks some musical ass!

I'm very happy that someone took the video and thought to upload it. It means so much to so many, even if it's not the same. Peace Tom

    Buk, I saw Hendrix in 1968 at 14 years of age. He has been my "Hero" to this day. I started playing guitar at the same age and I made a promise to myself that I would never attempt to play any of his leads. There is only one Jimi and although in my head I know his leads from listening to them for my entire life I just won't try to play them. Too much respect for the man. As a Lead Vocalist I will sing his songs all day and have in bands since I was 14. I did my Homework on his vocals.

    Wonderful playing again. You seem really calm to call out BS. I wish I had your calm temperament. I used to terrorize my friends by taking a bunch of pictures of us. Little do they know that I get these pictures printed out like you did back in the day, and store them in photo albums that I can pull out and look at and relive that moment. One day, one of them yelled at me about it and I never did it again. It made me really sad.
