Topic: I've finally pulled it off!!!

WOOHOO!!!
I finally figured out how to use the "Jimi Hendrix/John Mayer" monkey-grip style of neck-grip!!!!
I've been trying to figure it out for months and today I was sitting at work watching a youtube video for the 50s reissue baja telecaster and I heard/saw the presenter do that same kind of rhythmy-lead playing like Hendrix does.
I tried it out and it works with my '51 perfectly!!!
I could never pull them off with my old silverburst les paul! Once I get a FAT-C replacement neck for my '51 I should be able to pull them off even better!!

Argh, I'm gonna be twitching in bible study tonight just thinking of all the things I can try out once I get back home to my axe!!!


WOOHOO!!!
