You'd have to ask them -- I'm a tuning fanatic. I'm also fanatical about intonation, and have done my own setups on all my guitars for the last 25 years.

My three favorite riffs (tonight, at least -- this is the kind of stuff that changes with moods):

Possible slow alternative:

I love most of Joe's stuff. For his fast stuff:

https://youtu.be/yclRjptWlW8?list=RDyclRjptWlW8


But not this version, yuck.  The one he did for that big Dylan concert .. that one.

Johnny's a badass, and a fellow Texan, to boot. There ain't many who can do a slow blues better than him, and his slide playing is great too. I don't care for his tone in that clip -- a little thin and wiry for my taste. To answer your question -- there are songs I prefer, but "better" is in the ear of the listener.

Pretty goddamned amazing. Nice hypnotic feel, and reminds me a little of Bert Jansch with its Celtic modality. Anyone who can manage that many strings gets my vote.

Just wanted thank y'all for the great Qs and vids, this is great brainfood.
