FIREBIRD!!!!
That was fantastic! I have never seen this dude before, but what a performance.. and what a winning smile, you gotta love that set of teeth!
And tuning the guitar while playing? Amazing stuff.
Btw, minihumbuckers on a firebird = insanely great!
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

read up on this inspiring legend. I remember the first time I ever saw him play on TV...I was stunned. This was back when I started playing guitar at 13.
I agree with your take on minibuckers on firebirds. Tone that slays. I love David Hidalgo's tone on the Crossroads Festival DVD too.

I have always loved the sound Allen Collins got with his Firebird on early Lynyrd Skynyrd albums. And Johnny Winter makes it sound sweet too.

This is great! I didn't get to see him but I was really close. He was playing across the courtyard at the club I used to engineer at. We were setting up for some other work at 2 am and could hear the club rocking hard while he was playing. I wanted to go over so badly but couldn't.
Thanks for posting.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.

I read an interview with him last year. He said he was battling cancer, and he was determined to not let it take him.
Very good player. He was very open-minded to music and as a guitar player, he was not a one trick pony.

Did he? Well I like P90´s too
I have the "One more for the road" lyrics and score book here, and he seems to have a standard mini-hb on those pictures at least.

it was 50% p-90 and 50% mini humbucker.. though in the really beggining of Skynyrd he had both mini-humbs. I dont know which songs he recorded (if he ever did) with that configuration.
I already added 2 videos (pressure cooker and song for renee) of Clarence Gatemouth to my favorites on youtube... how could I never heard this guy before??

Agreed. Last night I went home and played without a pick and just used my fingers and fingernail when I wanted it. You get so many different tones with the flesh of your fingers. Maybe this will improve my progress with playing bass with my fingers too. *thumbs up* But yes Clarence was phenomenal.
