I just picked up this vintage Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe Regent (or perhaps “Deluxe Electric”). I initially thought it was a pre-Gibson model that had been modified, and indeed some parts of it are...
I get your point, I would call that "knowing about" a subject versus actually "knowing" it, which to me means you can do it.
I'll never understand why someone wants an exquisite carved instrument (which are definitely not solely a MIA thing) and then play it through a lo-fi chain... That last bit suggests you're...
You're welcome. Nice. I always thought his vocab was logically very nice too. Imo, it just shows you how working out the raw material builds your technique so you can play well and express...
