    1:24 an incredibly good example of expanding on an idea but without overplaying...like, he doesn't just noodle or add a bunch of wanks, he adds fullness to the chord, and makes it more interesting to listen to and complex without adding a zillion notes. Sometimes that is indeed the answer, but not always.

    I have two sets of these and they’ve both failed on stage multiple times. Doesn’t matter how many times you tighten the screw, they eventually come loose. These locks are not for people that throw their guitar around.

    The incident on creating a Martin Accessory line and not getting credit for your idea is what occurs to many employees due to a company "Intellectual Property" policy. By that... many innovative ideas never get implemented by those who remain silent.
