ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons Gives Props To Hendrix For An Innovation On The Fender Strat Pickup Toggle Switch

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons Gives Props To Hendrix For An Innovation On The Fender Strat Pickup Toggle Switch

Hey Buddy,

 Billy Gibbons talks about Hendrix back in 68' when Billy's band opened for Hendrix. But one thing Hendrix was a fanatic about was learning not just how to play great, but learning all he could about the guitar and make it work better for the music he played.

I always tell you guys to learn the technical aspects of your guitar,amp and effects and how best to set them up.

In this article Billy talks about Hendrix and his innovative little trick with the pickup toggle.

I implore you try this to get a different feel and tone with your pickups,instead of just blindly playing your guitar without trying  and testing various aspects of your axe,whether it be the pickups, tuners,strings,volume or treble and bass.

Billy gives Hendrix great credit for what he did to innovate the pickup toggle switch.

Thank you Billy.

Here's the link to this short piece. Take notes from Billy and try this tip out.

Test,Test,Test guys.
