“We will be playing ALL BLUES! OLD blues NEW blues All Blues – Moose loves playing his older than dirt ELVIS signature Epiphone Acoustic Electric and I always LOVE my Gibson Les Paul or Dean Soltero electric guitar to pick, spank, finger or slide on and squeeze them blues out of – heck I even carry my electric 6-string DOBRO and my new Morrell Electric Lap Steel 8 String guitar with me -and just in case the blues chef Master Moose should call for some special ingredients – I even carry my ukulele to play the blues and slide on!!”
Moose always says “I swear to play THE BLUES, THE WHOLE BLUES, and NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES so help me God” – Ellard-James Moose Boles
“You can try to play the blues, or just give in and let the blues play you! That’s IT! It’s THAT little struggle, THAT split second tension right there between me and my guitar and those unconscious note choices that are happening when the notes start to play me, to me, THAT IS THE BLUES” – Wayne Sorbelli

NEW Pink Floyd Ukulele Slide Comfortably Numb first solo by Wayne Sorbelli at Island Guitar Music Store in Key West Florida.
I stayed after a day of teaching guitar and ukulele lessons at my music shop in Key West and decided to play along to some Pink Floyd backing tracks that I have. Pink Floyd has long been one of my favorite bands, and David Gilmour one of my all-time favorite guitarists! The way he bends and shakes the notes gives his guitar a human vocal quality that very few guitarists can achieve. One of my favorite guitar solos of all-time is Gilmour’s first solo on Comfortably Numb – so I thought it’d be appropriate for my new experiment – Can I play this epic famous solo with my glass finger slide on my guitar? Then, when reaching for my guitar I saw my ukulele sitting there and decided I’d give it try on the tiny baby guitar like instrument instead? lol Why Not? – then I thought it would cool to try with my glass finger slide ON THE UKULELE!
I’m glad I did!!!
I am a guitar player since 1980, guitar repair and set-up guy since 1996, music store owner and operator since 1997, and guitar teacher since 1998, bass teacher since 2000, & ukulele teacher since 2004.
I’m sliding with my pinky wearing a glass slide, Dunlop 212, on one of my favorite playing and sounding guitars, my Dean Soltero.
I’m tuned standard EADGBe

Les Paul Custom Zakk Wylde
I stayed late after a great day of guitar and ukulele lessons at our local Key West music shop and added some KILLER TONE TRICK MODS and an AMAZING set up on this already amazing Les Paul Custom Zakk Wylde Camo signature Epiphone guitar.
I’d say that my favorite thing about it, is the maple neck AND fretboard! A little weird at first – it feels kind of like a tele maple fretboard.
