he also used to have a seriously huuuuuugggggggeeeeee lead, and would wander the crowd mid-gig. I remember reading somewhere that he has a 100 foot lead custom made and would even wander outside the clubs he played in to drum up business while he played I saw an interview with Buddy Guy where he says that he stole the idea from Collins.
In another movie, I say Buddy Guy using the 100+ foot cable. He has a forklift lower him down form the stage (probably a 10 foot high stage in a stadium) and then he prowled thru the audience, accompanied by a roadie who managed the cable :)

I notice in the video Scrybe linked to, that both are using wireless.]]> Opinions and Polls kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitarists-tricks-starting-with-albert-collins/#post-289145 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitarists-tricks-starting-with-albert-collins/#post-288819 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:40:00 +0000

I love BB's rebuke at the end - rofl! he's possibly the only guy who could sass them like that and get away with it. :wink:]]> Opinions and Polls Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitarists-tricks-starting-with-albert-collins/#post-288819 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitarists-tricks-starting-with-albert-collins/#post-288816 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:36:57 +0000
but he did aso do a great rendition of I Aint Drunk (I'm Just Drinkin') on a live album from 92-93 thats commercially available. the solo on that tune includes a guitar version of two drunks chatting in a bar. he really gets into it on that disc, you'd never guess how ill he was by listening to it.

Don't really know why he put a capo on..... or if it affects the sound.


Does anyone know any other strange tunings/tricks that any famous guitar players use?]]> Opinions and Polls fleaaaaaa https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitarists-tricks-starting-with-albert-collins/#post-31286
