      i’m not familiar with this group.

      i might have to look into some tab for this stuff. more fuel for my pentatonic obsession.

      🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽

      rock and roll ain't pretty; that's why they picked us to play it.

        Well thats cool, glad to be able post something someone hasn’t heard before. Its probably an age thing, as they toured the US as I recall until the late 70’s. I saw them open for BOC while in High School think 75’ or 76’, and bought Sunburst Finish and played it a lot, since I believe I heard Fair Exchange on the radio show, I like most all the songs on it, its all now on youtube. Later, I bought the first album on cassette, and the live airage one on CD. It took a few years before I found it at Tower records on CD. Other songs: Sister seagull, no trains to heaven, etc some good stuff. From what I read years ago, is he disliked touring and the whole rock thing, so just faded. I have a tab sheet somewhere, lots of major pentatonic licks and runs. Him and Ted Nugent were like the only Rock guys I ever saw with 335’s (or whatever the Gibson model) hollow body electric they used. Oh, and Larry Carlton too, but only years later in the 90’s. As kids we laughed at the BB King guitar as being “uncool”, we boxed them in as for old blues guys or jazz only played those big guitars as I recall. An LP or a Strat, that was it. This was all pre whammy bar all over, EVH era and before Kramer, Sharvel, in the 70’s Ibanez was junk back then.

        Live OGWT (First I ever saw with a second guitar)

        and les pauls are just what a guitar is supposed to look like.
        they look right; feel right; sound right.
        they’re just right.

      Ted Nugent plays Gibson Byrdland guitars. Gibson introduced the Byrdland in 1955 and it was the first thin hollow body model they produced. The model name comes from the last names of country guitarists Billy Byrd and Hank Garland who first suggested the company build a thinner model electric. The model is also notable for its short (23 1/2″) scale.

      My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell my guitars for what I told her they cost.

      Interesting. Thanks for correcting that. I dont recall seeing other artists using Byrdland Guitars ever live, maybe only was Ted. 23.5” scale? Wow. Install 9’s on that, not sure that would work too well though.
