Payin' The Cost To Be The Boss!! New B.B. King Jam: Gibson ES 339 Demo

Just taking my new axe for a spin. This is Gibson's relatively new ES339 which is like a small body ES-335. The body is about the same size as a Les Paul!! I like it a lot.

I think the amp should've been louder....it was under 4...should've been about 7!!!

"You must be crazy baby, you just gotta be out of your mind.....as long I'm paying the bills, I'm paying the cost to be the boss"!!!!!

Go B.B. Go

Which tone box were you playing thru here? I couldn't believe how much your tone sounds like the Allman Bros..& I listened 5 times.. Sounds like you've picked up about 10 lbs of new chops there Dan. One suggestion tho..Remove the pic guard cello and then Remove All Facial hair...(.)(.) Is this the Plain Top version?

Dan did you mean lyrics to go with the song?

From the bottom of my soul brother Here goes nothing...

Nice job man. Ive been thinking about getting this guitar, ive just heard alot of comments about problems with the neck.. I though you had a sunburst one though? Do you have to or something?

[bluesvet]

Been away and just caught up with this, Dan...nice guitar. Great rendition of BB and Cost 2 B da Boss...I saw him do this in the Apollo in '68 or '67 (he still had the process) --a song that gave rebirth to the feminist movement(lol).

Re: your other LP vids it sounds like the throbaks will nail all the bases i.e. Duane, Dickey, Freddie, and early EC considering you and the Philster and Biggs are sporting those pups.

Always tasteful...Ken

This is JUST like how the finnish blues-guitarist Albert Järvinen would play. Those major thirds... tasty! And the combining of major and minor pentatonics. Just great.

Very impressive !

I would sell my soul to play like you  ;-)
