We saw him a week ago in L.A. The first of two nights. I fully enjoyed the concert. On the way out my wife says: " Do you realize he never once spoke directly to the audience except to say thank you?" I thought back and realized she was right. No, how you doing, or, it's good to be here. I guess when you can make a guitar talk like he can, he can get away with it.

I almost always use the Strat's neck pickup when I use a distortion pedal and I have found the most versatile as far as tonal range is the Big Muff Pi.The Muff can sound either very shrill and trebley or real mellow and bassy.It's quite easy to get weeping tones with a Muff and a Strat once you get used to fine tuning the controls.You can get a violin like sustain that's almost infinite with the Muff also as with the right settings dialed in you can tailor it to feedback in the same key that you are playing.
