Fender amps [F#] first came across my radar [G#] [G] when my friend Eve Monsego, I always talk about,
she had the Fender Twin, the Red Knob deal, and I had this little dinky little amp, and
I would go and jam and I couldn't figure out why her amp sounded so much better than mine.
[F] I've always kind of been into it.
Then I was hanging out at this [G] spot, Joe's Generic Bar in Austin, Texas.
That's no longer there.
Just a little dive, they had this, you know, blues bands every night of the week pretty much.
And this guy Alan Haynes [E] still plays Vibro Kings.
So he was playing that through this old Strat, legend is Steve Ray Vaughan gave it to him.
And [F] it was just like the best tone ever and he would have me sit in and I would play [A] his rig
and then go back home and try and figure that out.
So [D#] yeah, that was kind of my intro to that, just hanging out in the blues scene.
Like if you didn't have a Fender amp, you weren't really [D] doing it.
[G#] The thing that [E] I liked about it is, [F#] I like the three speaker combo, I love the sound of the [Em] 10s,
I love how it breaks up right at a certain point.
It's like this sweet spot where you crank your guitar and it can bite and really sting [E] and be effective
and you can bring it back down and it can be really sweet.
So [G] that's the kind of sound I've been looking for and it just kind of worked.
[Em] I've been using the Vibro Kings in the studio along with the Princeton [F#] Reverbs, the combo.
I had the little Princeton at the house and I was like, why don't I put them [F] together and see what happens.
That happened one [Bm] night and that's just kind of been my rig.
We had them both out on the road and we just decided to put it together.
The Princeton [E] kind of has that nice bell, [G] kind of pretty, mellow, like the
[B] notes kind of poke out.
[F] This kind of bubble [Bm] in the Vibro King just kind of fattens it up and makes it sound badass.
We just [F#] put it together and it's just [E] kind of been the thing.
[G] The Vibro King Princeton combo, yeah it translates really well on stage.
I love the reverb of the Princeton too.
I just kind of find the thing and stick with it and that's where I'm at right now in my life.
It's good.
The thing about the live show to me, [F#] if I think of it on a big scale, [E] it's only this little moment in time.
Everyone wants to come out and have a great time and let loose and feel like they can do anything.
When I get up there on stage, it doesn't matter.
There's this energy that I can't describe it.
I [C#]
just feel like right before I walk out on stage, it just turns into go mode and everything just disappears.
I'm in that moment, I'm with the guys and people.
It goes by so quick so I just gotta give it all, whatever it is.
I quit thinking about [G#] all the dumb stuff I would normally think about.
I just let loose [E] and have a good time.
That's what it's about for me.
I still feel like that 15 year old kid in the garage who's willing to experiment and take chances and not be afraid to mess up.
Just be vulnerable and open for that hour, hour and a half or whatever.
Just be.
I love it.
[D#] The sound of Fender [E] to me is just badassness in a box.
