    Pick apart the parts to Black Water! Having seen this played in about 15 concerts since the 70s, the second return on the riff (where you play the double stops) is an eighth note pattern on string 5 and 4 and 5: 5 - 5 6 7 4 - 5 4 5 - 5 7 If you split the guitar lines between two guitars, your double stops add some meat in there!

    Thank you for being a pastor and thank you for loving Johnny Cash. Unfortunately I think there's a lot of people out there that would rather preach the gospel not understand very much about music . It's like they just came for the show. 199 Transit feeling I don't know what that means but I'm keeping it in there. It's an intrinsic feeling. Good music good intentions good people. I do believe unfortunately for us all there's a 180 out in each and every one of us. I truly also believe that if you understand music okay. Do you become do you understand the truth I'm going to throw a question mark on their t h e r e that's very clever

    Veteran here, as well. I have a similar situation with my 85 Watt Fender Twin Tweed. Master volume on 2 was wayyy too loud. My solution was to grab the Bugera PS1 Power Soak. I can now get the amp dialed in for that massive Twin sound without having my neighbors 5 houses down yelling at me 😆. Also in Alabama up in Rocket City.
