It's only half electric... Dig Chet's sweep picking (solo starts about :56) down AND up with a thumbpick!

10 Minutes of an old guy mucking around. For you youngsters, the name is not a coincidence.

I thought the big green smiley face conveyed that I was joking. See, he's so much better than me, and knows so much more about getting a sound he wants out of his gear than me, that me saying "you can't do that on a Rick" is humourous...

Apparently not...

Irony is frequently lost on people here. I recently joked about a Ritchie Blackmore fan owning a red ES335, complete with smileys to highlight the joke. Blackmore, of course, famously played a red 335 in his earlier years. I was treated to a dissertation (not by the OP) about how Blackmore famously played a red 335 in his earlier years.
