It's [F] exactly how he shows you how to do it on that [E] tape
For those [G#] of you that are interested [A] in guitar [G#] stuff.
I'm playing a 1956 [G] K archtop electric
Okay, [A] and it came equipped with twin
diamond gold foil [F] pickups
[A] with little individual [Bm] posts [F#]
and [C#] I play in the middle position and
At the moment, [G#] I'm using flat wrap [Bm] strings a heavier gauge string
But [G] in fact, I think the ultra lights of [F] lights sound great and there's a lot easier to play in fact
Most [F#] important I use a Herco
combination [Bm]
