[stephenaleake]

Very nice.

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

Is it really called a billy bo? I always thought it was called a jupiter.

[LoneStarDreg]

Great! You have that tune down perfectly!

[carlosdeno]

Sweet dude, great work...!

[willemkerpel1]

Hey man, how did you record it? Sound really nice and direct...!

[vdbdg]

@willemkerpel1 Thank you. I'm just plugged in a VOX Tonelab LE which is recorded into a BOSS Micro BR.

[santyrush]

I like youtr guitar, what is? Gibson? great sound quality.... i play too.

[vdbdg]

@santyrush Thanks. The title says it all, it's a Gretsch.

[bbqeatinbuckeye]

Great effort and a joy to watch. Keep rocking and make Billy proud. Love from the Lone Star State.

This is really good...enjoyed hearing the Billy-Bo. It's an odd-looking guitar to be sure. Thanks for sharing this, and for letting us cop Gibbons' licks. I hate to say this, but your Paul sounds better than the Billy Bo. :-) I know that's subjective, but the LP is a hard sound to beat.

[hawg427]

How do you like your Billy Bo? Does it feel good in your hands while playing? I saw one at Sweetwater for 2600.00 but I'd have to get a sizeable discount or find one used.

[micmoable]

playing real good there

[mesqui01]

dude, the guitar is beautiful

does the chambered body really makes a difference in tone?

[tjnugent62]

If it wasn't so damn cool looking..... LOL... It is the perfect look for Gibbon's on stage. But we all now who the Rev's heart belongs to... That's right.... "Pearly"....

The guitar should cost a grand.... Speaking of such... I went looking for the R9 Pearly reissue and only found a couple. One was 8k and the other was 45k with his signature on it. Those are some crazy ass prices.

[vdbdg]

@bryansouza They are rather expensive, 2500$ at least I'd say.

[mesqui01]

hi,

how much did you pay for your billy bo?

[dvrmatt]

Very nice- Thanks for the tip on finding the tabs, Really apprecdiate.

I'm on the edge for picking up a Billy-Bo. I have a Les PAul Studio.

Not sure if there will be that much of a difference in sound???

[vdbdg]

@dvrmatt You're welcome.

About the Billy-Bo, well it's a bit limited in what it can do. Fun to play once in a while and it does sound pretty good. But I play my Les Paul a lot more.

If you need a second guitar, I'd get a good strat, it really opens up your perspective and you get a lot more variety of sound for a cheaper price.

[smellycat2009]

I've watched it 10 or more times and have most of it down now. I couldn't find a good tab or video lesson for this one, but your video was all I needed PERFECT! and Thanks.

[vdbdg]

@smellycat2009 Wicked. If u want to make sure u can find the tab on gtabs.org

[SaddleCat1]

Perty Work, Dude. Gotcha book-marked...

[lighteningboy]

Excellent. Very nice tone, love it! I want one of these guitars so bad!

[adidas331]

i just watched this 3 times!!! that is such a savory fiddle!!!

[DonQuichotteLiberia]

I like! Done with the Tonelab? :-D

[vdbdg]
