    So nice. I love the split screens and it's a great song. The guitar reminds me of an old Silvertone with the single lipstick pick-up. Actually it was made for Sears by Dan Electro (Out of pressed wood). The case it came in was also an amplifier with a Jensen speaker. The price new was $75 for the amp and guitar. Nowadays Dan Electros are somewhat sought after because of their 60's sound. What is the guitar you're using? You have quite a collection and they all sound great.
    I wish I could play half as well as you. Good work! Reminds me of Chet.

      Thanks! It's a custom built tele. I found the body online, and had it built by a local guitar maker.

      @@gitaareddy cool guitar. I think I mentioned in one of your vids that I used to shop in Manny’s on 48th and Ave of the americas in NYC. Probably the most famous shop in the USA. The likes of Hendricks and Lennon and so many would go there. In fact there was some words between Hendricks and the legendary “Stradivari” of guitar makers John D’Angelico ( one of his more famous guitars is worth north of 1 million bucks) Its called the teardrop and he only made 2. One is MIA. Once Hendricks spotted John and said “John when are you going to make me a guitar? John replied “When you learn how to play”. Obviously because he abused instruments and no way would John make him or anyone else a guitar that would be treated like an animal. Back in the day Manny would usually have one of D’Angelico guitars in the window. Back then an American made white falcon was a whopping $600 and a new Volkswagen $1800 and an original John D’Angelico $3000. Half the price of a new Cadillac.
      Today some company bought the name and makes copies.
      I also have a connection with Hendricks (indirectly)
      Love your style. Wonderful playing !

      Oh damn. The whole reason for my short story was to tell you that right next store is a place that makes the greatest Fender copies. And across the street from there is another music store that sells vintage guitars and makes Pensa Sur guitars ( I think they’re still there)
      When in NYC check them all out.The place is Rudy’s and they made Pensa Suhr guitars for Mark Knofler and of course others for sale.
