  Fact checking this story I found it is TOTAL BULLSHIT.

  There's only ONE old pawn shop in Old Town Pasadena and no such thing as 'Golden State Pawn and Music' in Pasadena, CA. I know so because this is my hometown and I still live in the heart of it.

  That's incredible,I lost 3 of mine back in 89 when my  house burned down. I had a custom BC Rich I scholoped the neck like Yngwie Malmsteen. Way before he made it popular. And a couple I built like Eddie's before I got messed up 11.6,1986. Now you can get them anywhere.

  The guitar pictured is NOT Eddie’s first guitar. It’s a Wolfgang/Fender EVH.

  This story really touched me and reminded me of my story when I was 15 my dad bought me a guitar off my friend that was showing me some stuff on the guitar he was selling it for $75 now I am 61 years old and just recently bought a guitar a white Gibson Les Paul like the one Randy Rhoads had same color and style as the one I had when I was 15 it brought back so many memories of back in that time now it's my go-to guitar my go-to guitar out of my 12 guitars that I have used to be a white Jackson Kelly I purchased to the marzio pickups online for a good price one of them I installed in the Kelly the second one I installed in the Les Paul which I'm taking with me Thursday to a tryout for a band is that my friend Nick ask me to come and try out he is the drummer of the band and I kept saying for the longest time I need to meet a drummer not a guitar player now this is that moment reminded me of this story

  I like his logic on standard tuning for slide. I did the same thing. Not for simplicity but because I didn’t know better. I just thought standard tuning or tuning down a half step covered the gamut when I was younger and teaching myself. People would show me chords and licks but no one really explained theory until I became a music major in college. Being a music major who can’t read music and with no formal training is daunting. I do not recommend it. lol Thankfully we have 10 lifetimes’ worth of information and instruction right here on YouTube. After 4 and half decades and a music degree I learn something every day.
