I guess it's just an optical illusion, but that bar sure looks smaller than a 7/8?

Curly used a small bar, mine is a copy of his from the 70

There are very few videos of Curly really doing "HIS" thing and this is a treasure of him while still at his peak. His total style is maybe lost forever. There are some who can go a few bars but they soon fade. I surely miss him.

Great example of `gutting` there. I think that's what you call it. I forget the technique terms these days. Don't call me old!

I have always loved his playing! Not just flash but very musical!

Great clip Wally. Jimmy don't sound too bad himself.
