Quite the showman, funny but a great player, and man, that dude has some loooong fingers. Thanks Spud, think I'll go make me a sampler.
Just exactly what is a b bender anyway?

I've never owned a guitar with a B-bender, but from what I've seen it's a special mechanism that's built into the back of your guitar body that connects the B-string to your strap button on the top of the guitar. When you pull down on your guitar strap (by dropping the neck while you're playing) it raises your B-string by a whole step. A lot of country players have these built into their Tele's as a special mod to mimic pedal-steel effects. I've only seen this built into Telecasters and it is a pretty big mod with a lot of routing into the back of the Tele.

Here is a little insight into the man himself. Great sense of humor and cool technique. Sorry, it ain't no Tele.
