[@eirikurjohnson3685]

When I was younger I use to fiddle around with the guitars at my grandpa’s house. He had this old les Paul that I really liked and said when he was younger he bought that guitar from an old man for 100$. When I was older we took it down to Nashville to get it looked at and it turned out to be a 1952 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. The store owner said it’s probably worth around 70,000$. Now it’s a family heirloom.

That’s a good idea, so many licks have subtle effects like delay that makes you think how are they playing all those notes.

It's LaGrange with a long "a" as in range with a "g". It's a little town just west of Houston.

Great video. It's funny, that comfortably numb bend was the one I had to try over and over again and I never made it sound good. Until now I didn't know why. For me it's easier to do it with the whammy, though probably not the proper/original way to do it. A lick to add: turnaround lick from crossroads. For me the sound of this really explains the meaning of a turn around.
