How Cool Is Freddie Tavares?
Freddie was a well-regarded steel guitar player, born in Hawaii. How cool is Freddie Tavares? He played the big glissando that opens every Looney Toons cartoon. That makes Freddie Tavares cooler than everyone you ever met, and everyone they ever met. -- Sippican Cottage: Minor Seventh Heaven -- 1959 Fender Factory Tour

Your Say
“Page, Clapton, Tavares”
If that’s suppose to be Jimmy Page that’s incorrect, dude looks NOTHING like Jimmy.

The guy on the left looks more than a bit like Jim Morrison

in these type of vids in the future could u pssiobly play the riff in its entirety right at the beginning before you start breaking it down lesson style. im not saying im the best guitarist or anything, but im def no beginner and it would benefit people like me who want to know if its a lesson they want to watch or not .not hating just saying
