-CryBaby wah
-Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer
-Ernie Ball volume
-Marshall JMP Super Lead 1975 ..that's all

Something about him pisses me off and as such never been able to get into his music. Same thing goes for Dave Matthews Band.
Hi Michael
I won't say that i am a big fan of his music , but not many players are able to play like he does with a 12 string =>

I know what you mean Mike, why make things difficult on a 12 string acoustic, maybe he just wants to be different, but i quite like his sound.
Never heard a 12 string played quite that way before; I admire any music that is 'unique' even if I don't particularly like the song. I guess for me that clip falls into that category.
I found it really enjoyable to watch just from a technical standpoint, but I have to agree with previous comments that there is just 'something about him' that I find disturbing.
Still, the most ingenious use of a 12 string acoustic I've ever heard. Can't help thinking he'd be better off with a Ricky 12 string electric, but I guess it's a case of being comfortable with yer tool!
