There I am expecting a bass drum on your back and a hi-hat in front of you...
Great picking, Toby.

Thank you, Toby.

When you play, you produce a really "authentic" and "dirty" tone, which I find remarkable -- especially when I heard you play that little Gibson and made it sound nothing like mine.
