Man...can you imagine the tales these two guys could tell????? I'd like to have been a fly on the wall.

It was a great visit Stu, and thank you for the nice comments. Roger Crawford, you should have been a fly on the wall, Jeff Peterson is still screeming with laughter, Stu you are a hilarious guy! We even went through the Air Force together, If it hadn't been for Stu, I'd have been a non-player, and the Air-Force would have been very boring!
Yes, the two knee set-up is extremly incredible in how much more it can do and how easy it is to master. The gains are very interesting. So is your playing Stu Basore!

Stu, you are one of my top three favorite players. I strive to play as you do.

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 24 Apr 2002 7:36 pm

I'm the other two Stu!

Stu is one of the finest players I know and a great guy also. He is one of the funniest human beings that is on earth too. If you ever get a chance go see Stu play by all means do. You will have a blast and WILL LEARN ALOT.

We to had a chance to see and meet Bobbe last week which was a honor for Bonnie and I . Heck, Bobbe doesn't even need those two knee levers and he would still figure out a way to pull and yank strings to raise and lower the tones ! Bobbe "You Da Man " !

Hay Bobbe. When are you going to post that new setup of yours, and maybe publish some instructional material to get newbees off to the right start?

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 25 Apr 2002 2:16 pm

It's in the process.

Thanks for the kind words. Bobbe, get it in gear and show everyone the set-up! Stu.

Is there any benefit to this setup if you are already fully functional on the traditional setup? In other words, what reasons, if any, are there to adapt this system if you're, say a working pro or have "mastered" the current 4+ knee lever arrangment.

I guess we all will get this new "wonder" set-up just as soon as we all install some
"lucky seven's" on our axe!

Billy Johnson, you are hilarious!
Memphis slim, yes there are advantages that are explained in the first 5 min. of the tape. Glad you asked.

Bobbe, wet our appetite a little more with those advantages. I need to know why this system will benefit me. Other than the coolness factor or the "can't hit a bad note" thing, us older dogs need some reasons to learn new tricks. How will it help me play better or play easier if I already have the knee lever thing down?

What guitar was Stu playing in Dallas?

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 10 May 2002 3:10 pm

Memphislim, The advantage is in doing more with less. By combining two knee levers, you actually have the advantage of getting more usable musical chords, combinations of notes (chords). With a standard 4 knee setup you can only use two knees at a time anyway, and half of the combinations that you can get don't work together anyway. With this simple two lever setup, you can get everything all the time and it's all usable. Can you add a knee or two to enhance the two major knee levers? Yes, but I would possibly only add one, and I tell this on the tape that is now avalible.This tape is being shipped to the customers on Monday (12th). This tape was shot continuously for 45 min. with no interruptions, just like I was in the room talking to you personally, The cost of production and duplication was held down to the point where I can sell it for only
$24.99 plus shipping/hndl.
Slim, all you would have to change on your guitar is just one pull, most likely. Leave all the other knees there, you just don't have to use them , they won't get in the way, then after you see you don't (and won't) be needing them, then take them off, or make them do something else, more usable. I'd just tell everyone here what the "trick knee" is but it needs to be shown and heard while it is being explained.
Trust me Memph, you'll love it!

ANDDDDDD!!!!!!! Mememphislim, "Old dog"? I'm an "old dog" and I switched from seven knees on my E-9th to two. You can't be that much older than me, NOBODY IS! Maybe Mike Weirach, Smiley Roberts,. My social security number is 003. I remember when Ben Franklin started building the Franklin Steel,I remember when Jimmy Carter just raised peanuts, Remmington just made guns and ammo,Sierra was a place out west,Emmons just wanted to be a boxer, When Shot was just a B-B. (that one was good!)

Skip,you only have two legs and two knees right? (on your body) Why do you think you should have more on your guitar?------------------------ Yea, your right, your guitar should have four legs, sorry.

Skip Cole · Post by **Skip Cole** » 11 May 2002 4:11 pm

Bobbe, I think you got this thing figured out, but, personally, i could use the other 2. One to trigger my storage/ejection seat in case some one started picking my steel without permission, and one to dial 911 for when he comes down.

Best wishes.
