Adam,

Is your setup here the same as you show in yr instructional videos? Image is a bit hazy but it looks like there´s two amps behind you, both bringing out yr sound?

@qazqwe57: I was using a 1948 National and a 1956 Bassman. The Bassman was a beast, but really had the punch on the big stage.

Ive been intrigued by this satan guy "the guitar player" for a few years now.

Been in the music business for over 30yrs and seen many a player buy the most expensive vintage strat/gibson jazz box etc to be a blues player.

This dude is for real and has the most interesting rythems etc.

A true blues player that actually inspires me. Totally Awesome stuff you guys did together.

@RedSmoky: I'm happy to agree with you about Sterling "Mr. Satan" Magee. He's one of those rare guitar players--or musicians on any instrument, in any idiom--who really figured out a new approach. He's not derivative. He's innovative--somewhat like BB King, who fused T. Bone Walker and Django Reinhardt in a way that was entirely distinct from the Mississippi blues of his time. Sterling uses funk chordings and open-string chordings in a unique way. Glad you noticed that!

i hear the early ingredients of "thunky fing" during the first parts of the song

[jamesjeffreypaul]

Very different, but very affecting and "catchy."

[superchucker77]

This is some of the most masterful and enovating playing that I have ever heard.

Just Brilliant!

[Jazzman060606]

Same like Uking just in Germany ;-)

[oloPL]

I love the rhytm of your harp melody :-). Currently I sing this all day long!

[uking]

[bettifamily]

orrsum dude!

Best bit of third pos i've seen for long time... powerful riffs & sinchipation.

i got my next practise piece to work on!

[KudzuRunner]

Thanks. Yes, D-harp in 3rd position. I'm playing like a funk guitarist, essentially, at least on the rhythm part. The solo is....improvised.

Man, I need to quaff a cold beer after just watching you guys!
