I've rewired my old '81 with only 2 pots when I did the "vintage" conversion on it. Well, Adam, I've said this before, but.rewiring a 5 pot 325 so that the 5th pot is a volume/cut control for the middle pickup, opens up an amazing variety of new sounds. Here I am in the future, a shaking, pale shadow of what my childish mind had projected for me. So you’re forward and backward in time all at once. I could remember what I thought that meant when I was 13.
#Guitars that sound like a rickenbacker 325 how to#
But that other thing, where I now saw what I’d promised myself I don’t know how to say it other than it was a revelation. You don’t have all the chops, but you can get emotion out of the guitar, and the part in the tune on the record works okay.” And Lord knows I’ve had a few of those. I had fondly told myself over the years, “Well, John, you have emotion. And I certainly wasn’t one of them – the guys who are the men among men. People like James Burton, Albert Lee, Ray Flacke.
There are the people like Chet Atkins and Brent Mason and Mark Knopfler, Bryan Sutton, Vince Gill, and I don’t know all of his work, but Brad Paisley. What did you do?” So that kicked me in the butt.īut it’s not like you were inept on the guitar. I was 48 years old, and I said to myself, “You were supposed to be good. Screw it.” I had that moment, and it was embarrassing. You go, “I’m gonna do it,” or you go, “Nah, it’s too late. Basically, at that moment, you’ve got two choices. I’m going, “Oh, sheesh!” I’m remembering that I said that to myself, and I’m hearing Jerry Douglas, and there’s a nanosecond of revelation, I guess. One day, I just realized, “God, listen to Sam Bush there! Wow, listen to Russ Barenberg, or Edgar Meyer, or Eddie Bayers.” All those cats are just so incredible.And at that moment the little searchlight down in the dark, dark cavern in my brain finds that molecule that I’d tucked away – the one where I was 13 and promised myself I was going to grow up and be really good, right? So it’s sitting there illuminated. And Jerry surrounds himself with all these great musicians. You’re trying to get inspiration you’re trying to learn things you’re kicking yourself in the butt. He just does it to my entire psyche – my heart, my memory, the whole thing. I realized that Jerry Douglas is my favorite musician of all time. Strong case for "best American Rock band".Īs far as guitarists.well, in the words of John Fogerty:
