[MrTricejones32]

Can you make a video of how to play great white buffalo

[ByrdmanSteve]

@MrTricejones32 I'm planning on it, got just about all of 'em on my list but haven't had much time. May shoot a quick GWB out very soon. Thanks for asking!

@ByrdmanSteve hey, great video ! Would you maybe be able to do one for great White buffalo or good friends and annotate of wine? Much appreciated :)

[ByrdmanSteve]

@LordAzai Great idea. The Buffalo is already on my list but Good Friends is another great idea. All I need is lots a time and I'd do 'em all!! Will see what I can do:) Thanks!

i started playing the guitar for christmas, and the first thing i wanted to learn was Cat Scratch Fever, and i used your video. I still can't do it the way you do, but i will keep trying with the hope one dat i will

[ByrdmanSteve]

@m3talmast3er Love your story. You can never go wrong with Ted Nugent! Ted is so much more than just music. Learning this stuff will prepare you for just about any guitar playing. Let me know if I can help you with anything!

how does he get that amazing sliding sound? it sounds so good.

[ByrdmanSteve]

@305catsquid Those slide sounds are a combo of guitar, tone and Ted but about 90% Ted. I have been working on it myself and it's not that difficult but to do it with the grace that he does, is. Ted is the MASTER at playing slide guitar without a slide!

i would like to see you play stranglehold all the way through, with the band or not, it would be awesome either way, and you should do some more covers, cause there sweet.

[ByrdmanSteve]

@305catsquid Time has been my enemy... I would love to do this stuff all day. I am planning to do more and more YouTube stuff as my days of aspiring to be a rock star are over:) Thanks for the kind comments!!

do you know any good hollow body guitars for a relatively low price?

[ByrdmanSteve]

@305catsquid Hmm.. I play a Gibson ES135 that is a semi hollow body, looks much like a Byrdland. They are not cheap, but should be able to pick one up for around $1,500 ish last time I checked. Epiphone makes some very respectable hollow bodies for under $1,000 too. I've even seen some around $500 and they are likely just fine.

One of my favorite guitars is an old $200 Kramer guitar so price isn't always the number one factor with guitars.. Hope this helps a bit..
