If you haven't tried one pick one up and play it. Bass and treble gain. I'm a G&L snob now and their quality is amazing, even overseas models. Tribute (Indonesia models) have american pickups.

Hi Corey! Been following you since early in the TF days! I love that you said as you were explaining the notes you were playing that you aren't really thinking about that. You obviously have the talent/knowledge to feel it, but you always know you are landing where you need to be. For us lesser players----->Do you also play through melody/licks and if you feel or it sounds like you are not on the right note for the chord- you just quickly move it, right? Inevitably if it sounds 'off' it will immediately should sound 'on' after moving it one note.

The A major pentatonic scale has the same notes as F# minor pentatonic except you start on A rather than F# (correct?). As you point out there is not a D note in so you can use F# and A for the D Chord and also no G# for use with the E chord. So, in the case of E could you slide from the G# to the B? Also, could you start on the A note, use the D note as a passing/ghost note and then go to the F#?
