Man, that was one rippin' version of Miserlou. The Wedge was awesome too. Dig the Johnny Barakat/Bambi Molesters arrangement.

Love the ZZ Top spin by the bass player on the wedge. Really looking forward to The Aquasonics rocking the HB Pier on April 29th....
It should be a day to remember.

Chris, excellent job on the guitar. I really like Mr. Rebel, and what happened to the sunburst Jag? Remember the DVD you sent me awhile back of your band. Wasn't it at this place? You guys sound better now.

Bill - yes this is the same place as the dvd I sent - We do sound 1000% better now - amazing what a good drummer and bass player can do + I'm a little better now too.
Your chord chart of Mr Rebel is the one the other guitar player used to learn the tune. I think I gave it to him from the e-mail you sent.
the sunburst Jag had to go when I got a vintage one - I sold it on e-bay, and then the new owner sold it again - to PhatTele, here on SG101. I hope to get it back someday....

Glad to see those chord charts went to use seeing they never worked for the 3 rhythm guitarists we tried

Here is a video I found of Chris learning Miserlou. He has really improved.

Yeah, that was a few years ago - my mom was pretty irritated that we did that with her mixer. A string broke, and it got all tied up in the blades.....
