I have a whammy and I use it. Goes without saying.
Peter, thanks for this. Might you give an example of one or two of his rules?
The “CookBook” album is the one that first grabbed me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNb-5pBBL_g
I also started with classical guitar and while initially I was thinking about arch-tops, I actually went for a Telecaster as my first electric because, as they say, it really can do it all! Recently,...
