All you "Guitar Heroes" pay close attention to 2:12-2:54. You might learn something.

I love the way he can transport you to a different place while also talking to a table full of German ‘anoracks’

Sounds good on acoustic also, check out Son House’s videos on youtube. Son may have been the first to use "Da Socket Slide". But Lowell always had that "Rocket Socket in his Pocket" and ready to slide . :o)

So really, Lowell George played 11/16 Craftsmen socket guitar, not slide guitar. :o)

It was a sad loss to music history to have lost Lowell George back in 1979 ,…31 yrs later Little Feat lost drummer Ritchie Hayward .sadly both are all time greats that are gone and both left voids that cant be filled,… only copied ..this is so comical ,Lowell trying to explain slide guitar to this hopeless (I think German) show host …
