  • @superkulmedkniv25 He keeps mentioning that the guitar is fretless, so that's why he's getting microtones that are impossible to get with a fretted guitar, so it's a combination of the Whammy and no frets

  • Is he using a bottleneck here, or is he just bending and whammying a lot?

  • v 8903definitely a "huh, never had a guitar that COULD EVEN DO THIS..." kinda thing in the beginning, followed by a "hmmmm....does this stuff work on here?" kinda thing, then a "huh, I like that lick. Maybe I'll try to work that into something" thought cycle.... then that thought cycle basically continues. pretty cool though. It shows "playing" is about "play"

  • Frank was fucking with it!!! Love it.

  • awesome!! thanks dude.

  • circular picking

  • Frank could be playing a guitar strung with al dente spaghetti and you'd still know it was him...

  • For the slightest moment, I thought perhaps Frank would play us the Looney-Toons theme...

  • I only heard mention of the Floyd. He is playing the fretless Strat that dominated the conversation.

  • Little did they know that the Floyd Rose sucks and the whammy always makes it out of tune...
