He seems like such a cool, down-to-Earth guy, I hope he does more of these. If you scroll down on the youtube video there is Tab included.

I wanted to get a better look at his J-180 on the wall behind him. It didn't happen

He is. And a genuinely good guy. I got to meet him a few years back on their Like An Arrow tour, and he was just very down to earth and seemed to enjoy connecting with the fans.

In a world where truly good music and good musicians are hard to find, Charlie star is the shining star(no pun intended) he is an amazing musician and songwriter and truly cares about good Well played music! Furthermore, he has an apparent extreme Appreciation of music and musicians that came before him and the path they laid.he very gracefully and humbly pays homage to them.

I wound Charlie some custom overwound Carondelet P-90s last year, and I delivered them at soundcheck prior to a local Smoke show. Knowing Charlie was eager to hear and feel his new "hogear" dogears, I wound an extra for my personal '55 LP Junior and brought it so he could check out the pickup through his live rig.

This is the raw, unedited Android vid of that first test-drive. My '55 Junior straight into his favorite 1960 (brownface) Fender Concert combo. It's also the most viewed reel on my YouTube channel. :)

Charlie's right hand wizardry on a solidbody electric

Watch how Charlie manipulates not only the vol and tone controls and his right hand attack ... but where on the scale length his right hand plays the strings. He could convincingly emulate a neck pickup on the bridge-pickup-only Junior, simply by adjusting his attack and doing it where a neck pickup would physically be located. Absolutely ingenious.

Great player, even greater person and friend. Warm, witty, humble, genuine, and appreciative. Meet him if you ever get the chance.

Yeah, he's one of the few that I would really like to get a chance to meet and talk to.
It would be cool to get him to sign my LP jr. too.
I bet he would get a kick out of an LPjr. with a Bigsby on it

Part 2: Open C sus 2 tuning.
I use the regular open C a lot. It's almost the same, except the bottom string stays tuned to E.
My Jazzmaster XII is going to stay tuned this way. It sounds amazing that way.

You can't have porkchop sideburns like that without being a musician.
