This is the Dickey Bett's Style solo that Jeff McErlain put together for his King's of Tone series on the TrueFire.com website. He is the third artist in a series of twelve that I am studying in an attempt to find my "own" tone. I play all instruments (drums, bass, rhythm, and lead guitars). I worked on this song for about a week and sat down and recorded it in about two hours.

I quickly threw this one together to demonstrate the difference in pickups on my Epiphone AJ-500ME Masterbilt. I used two instrument cables, one for each pickup. The NanoFlex is panned hard left and the NanoMag is panned far right. By using the balance control on your stereo you can compare the difference. I used a little compression and equalization (rolled off the low frequencies at 150 Hz), other than that no other effects. I used Reaper with my Tascam US-1641 to record. And, yes, I obviously need more practice. Lol
