I began winding pickups a few years ago after winding a set for myself. I enjoy the process and trying to find just the right formula to bring a guitar to life. At the same time I started to really explore the roots of the music I grew up with. I started this blog to document my discoveries in pickup winding, tone and the blues.
Here's one I haven't heard in years. I remember having a good giggle over the lyrics when I was younger. Now I just want to know where Martin Barre got those pants.
Love that video. I think the tone comes from those pants! I remember reading an interview about Eric Clapton and someone asked his roadie about which guitar you need to sound like Eric. The roadie replied saying that Eric sounds the same on any guitar or amp, but he actually said "Its in the trousers!".
I lived in the Virgin Islands for a couple of years and everyday at 6pm our local rock station would play Aqualung. Seven days a week. I would come home from work, pour some rum, relax on the deck overlooking the Caribbean and enjoy some classic Tull. Surreal but I really came to appreciate that song!

yeah, it`s the pants......
A man walks down the street wearing pants like that and you know he's not afraid of anything.
