Buddy was such an amazing guitarist. People don't appreciate him til they take up playing the guitar. He was only 18 years old in most of these clips too

Stringy is Rey's wife stationed off stage using the "talk box" Rey invented. Here, Rey takes a solo complete with bar crashes and tone knob swells, much like what Speedy West would do later. He comes back to do "Stringy's" lines out of the lead break. A lot of what I've heard Rey do previously is usually just "swoops" to accent lines.

The smartest thing old Larry ever did was to keep both these guys playing for him. These instruments would be: one of the very first Fender Bass VI guitars, and a very early Fender Jaguar. These guys were so close to the Fender plant, that they were able to get the earliest versions of everything Leo made. How convenient! And this song was so easy for these guys, they could have "Santo & Johnny" through it!

1959 or a very late 1958 Jazzmaster with the early gold anodized pickguard. My brother bought a 1960 which is pretty much where I started!

Pretty sure, from some long-time sleuthing and paying attention, that Roy was the guy who probably played the first ever recorded Jazzmaster, on Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover." AND, it was probably the very first commercial Jazzmaster ever to be played, period.

Born in ‘43, he was 63 here…missing sth?
@SuperCrazylegs262 ай бұрын
Trying to get to the bottom of this myself… if he was born in 43 though in 1957 he would’ve only been 14 so something is certainly off. I realized then to look up his birthday and indeed it is In 1923 not 43! This would’ve taken place around 1986 given he says he’s around 63 years old!

The Bass VI looks like it might be Fiesta Red. Hard to tell in black-and-white. The Jaguar is either blonde, as you said, or Olympic White.

@@jfinester Took another look. That Bass VI IS a different color. Maybe Fiesta Red, although Sonic Blue and Shell Pink(if available then?) would look like light gray on B&W.
