[G] _ _ _ [Em] So it's got a great character for the lead type [G] stuff.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to play a song for you in a minute.
I want to tell you a quick story about T5 that's kind of neat.
I got one a few years ago and I was playing it for a while.
[E] Where I live locally in Southern California, [Dm] I was playing at a church, and [D] I still do
to this day.
I [Am] found that this guitar is probably [N] the single greatest guitar you would ever [E] use for any
kind of top 40 band gig or any [Em] kind of church gig.
Something where you have [Eb] to be really versatile.
At the [Cm] church I play, I have a lot of artists come through, I have to [D] learn songs on the fly.
Sometimes they'll have an acoustic riff up front.
[D] Then they might want you to do some volume swells in the middle.
Every now and again you get lucky, they throw you a bone, you get a 20 second solo, so you
might want to throw some [C] distortion on it.
And this guitar [E] pretty much handles all that stuff really, really well.
So [E] I was telling Bob Taylor at Summer NAMM a couple of years ago, after I'd been playing
it for a while, I said, [Am] gosh Bob, that guitar is amazing.
I mean he's been on a [E] variety of different gigs and studio work and whatnot.
I said, you know that guitar is amazing.
I said, it's probably the only guitar that I could see, if you ever had to do a whole
album with one [N] guitar, you could do it with a T5.
And I remember Bobby standing there, he's like looking at me smiling, he goes, why don't
you do it?
I said, you're dying?
He said, yeah.
I said, alright.
So we talked about it, kind of hammered out the details.
_ And basically he said, you know Mark, run it through everything.
He said, play it straight acoustic dry.
Play it acoustic wet.
Play it clean, play volume swells, chorus, delays, wah pedals.
Do a full album, ten songs, the only [E] stipulation, one guitar.
You can't use anything else.
So I used one quilted [C] maple top with a set [D] of 11s on it for the whole album.
And as a result, [G] I came up with all these different things.
It was fun because I got to play it with a lot of effects.
It was kind of carte blanche to just go and make a really_ _ _
_ So I did the record and there [B] was one song I particularly wrote on there called the [C] T5 Jam.
It was something I wrote for Bob.
Just as kind of a way to take this guitar [Bb] to its limits a little bit.
I had some [A] wah pedal on it, some distortion on it.
There's an octaver on it.
_ [B] _ _ It starts out acoustic, goes into electric, that type of thing.
So I thought I'd play that song for you.
Kind [C] of give you an idea.
Because I think [C] what happens, someone looks at this headstock, and you think of that.
You think of incredible acoustic guitars, right?
So when you see Taylor, you don't think of electric guitars.
And that's partly why we're out here.
So what we're doing is [Eb] kind of trying to show you that this is [Db] in fact a real electric guitar
as is [E] T3, as is Solidline.
