A while ago there was some serious shade thrown on this forum about how low grade, rank amateur, lame, cheesy and clueless it is to play with with a visible tuner hanging on your headstock during a performance situation. This actually frosted my onions, gave me the red ass and set my BS detector off at the same time. If you added making me sneeze and break wind while reading those posts it could have been life threatening!
Well - Na, Na, Na-Na-Naa!
Here is Waddy Wachtel playing in a recent video with Ringo, Joe Walsh, Leeland Sklar, Benmont Tench and Russ Kunkle with a big 'ol snark on his headstock. Also Leeland Sklar has a headstock tuner.
So there!
Me, Waddy and Lee say it's OK. Plus, Ringo doesn't seem to care.
In the first photo is Waddy with his snark. The second photo is Waddy smiling because he knows he is in tune.
I'd like to point out that this isn't a home movie. It's a performance video with frickin' Ringo. I'm positive that there was an LD on on this shoot and it was cut by real people and reviewed by Ringo and Joes' management before it was posted.
