Fender has suspended production of Hamer guitars.
When asked about this, the spokesperson said "well, we found that it's pretty tough to make guitars with all these newfangled set necks and semi-hollow thingamabobbers.... why go to all that trouble when we can get a few hobos to slide a...
His playing has soul to it, that something that transcends technical proficiency or the gear he's playing through. IMO very few guitar players have that, and display it with the consistency he has during his career.
That's all there is to it.
This is a great vid, very handy. In the context of the mix, I liked the SH4b the best, however that wasn't the case with the tracks solo'ed.
Killer playing, no question.
I played one once, thought it felt a bit bizarre, but I'm sure that a while with one would get me adjusted. I'd like to own one, but I also feel like I'd wind up writing pretty generic riffs because of that extra string.. so it's not high on my 'must have' list.
Yet.
Phrasing, melody, touch, knowing where the gas and brake are.
I'm not sure tone is all that critical to the greatness of a player, though it is icing on the cake. Your favorite guitarists will still impress you playing through a Gorilla.

Tour with this lineup. Please.
I can tap my foot, but unless the guitar part is absurdly simple, I too can't even talk while playing, never mind sing (which is odd, because I can sing and play piano sort of).
I guess just start with a really simple riff and start tapping your foot on the 1? And just go from there.
60% Youtube clips, 40% word of mouth. I tried the amp one time for about 4 minutes before handing cash over, and haven't regretted it for a single second.
Not in a band situation, so my playing is 100% sitting down. Standing up and playing feels kind of weird to me, I really should spend more time with it.
