From an ex-military person, you are truly a legendary guitarist and person. Thank you for inspiring me to play.

Good show! I have seen Ted play 13 times between 1981-2022.I also hunted with him 5 times.Absolutely amazing individual with a sharp mind and extensive knowledge.His guitar playing is exceptional and he should have been in the Rock n Roll hall of fame 20 years ago.Double Live Gonzo remains one of the high water marks of live albums of all time!

Unfortunately those in control of the Rock Hall of Fame don't like his politics or his 'toxic masculinity". The man is everything that Rock n' Roll was founded on.....yet he will never get inducted by the dolts who "select" who gets in.

Ted introduced me to Jim McCarty, and that opened my eyes to Cactus, and Carmine Appice, then BBA, then early Jeff Beck.

ANTI-2nd UNITY (Non-Violent Felons!) If you can't beat them, join them!!! (Together there is Unity!) The "do-gooder" gun owners shall eventually destroy the 2nd amendment on their own, by self-righteousness! What part of shall not infringe do "do-gooder" and politicians not understand! (This is their fault too!) Nearly half the nation are convicted felons for victimless non-violent offenses who are ETERNALLY BANNED from possessing a firearm or even a single bullet for life! (Self-righteous gun owners shall eventually lose their guns & bullets with the help of the police!) FACT: There are more non-violent than violent felons without God-given gun rights thanks to self-righteous do-gooders! Non-violent felons can still vote though and abolishing "guns & bullets" from backstabbing "do-gooders" is exactly how they'll vote with vengeance in record millennial numbers for equal (Slave) EQUALITY! ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM of SLAVERY!!! Since NON-VIOLENT felons without victims and injured parties can't legally possess a single bullet then nobody should possess guns or bullets! PERIOD!.. - Turtletruth (Oorah).

What Ted didn't say was the Byrdland guitar was designed by Gibson with input from 2 of the best country guitarists ever. Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. Before the Telecaster became THE country guitar, they played mostly hollow body guitars. The Tele became popular on the West coast first in the mid 50s. This was basically a thinner body L5 Gibson. Ted makes it sound good in rock too.

If he’s so tough, why don’t you go in the f***ing military…He talks about fighting for his freedoms. Who is he fighting,…deer? I mean who is he fighting? As far as I know he’s fighting deer…Why doesn’t he sign up for Afghanistan?…He should be playing Cat Scratch Fever at some fair, which is probably what frustrates him most…Just a big p**sy with a f***ing gun.
