The Thrill Is Gone!!!

Post by drockadam »

Hello 12Bar Members! :wave:

Been pretty busy lately! Just returned from Los Angeles! Had a hell of a time! Played lots of different guitars. The one guitar I was most honored to play was a 60's Fender Stratocaster at Guitar Center Hollywood!!! It had a gorgeous neck, not too roughed up. Price tag was was $30,000!! :yikes: I recorded a few tracks at my brother's friend's studio. Here is B.B King's "The Thrill Is Gone" from that session. Take a look! Thanks. :handshake:

Bet the thrill wasn't gone when you got to play the 60's Fender Stratocaster. :lol:

Glad you didn't drop it - I'd have been terrified of even being near the thing!

Good assured, tidy, and clear playing on "The Thrill is Gone" recording BTW. :thumbsup:
