He is using The Magic Band tuning.... Catfish Mask Replica lol.
He is actually good at this! Anyone born in 1952 can't be all bad... 'sides, he has 31 albums out. I love his outfit too! When I was in the 8th/9th grade I was big on wearing plaid shirts and striped pants or checkered and plaid...
HA! I wuz right... I clicked on the next video about his oddball guitars and he mentions seeing Captian Beefheart and The Magic Band then going out and buying the TELE he is showing.

I love people who play outside the norm, but you can see in this vid that he can play blues and other stuff... I bet he can play anything he wants to play. He nails that half cocked wah Zappa on one clip.
I be happy!! Someone new and different for me to listen to!! I get SO bored listening to the same old same old all the time and when I find something different that I really like I have to be careful because I listen to it so much that I hit a point where I have to stop because I've listened so much that everytime I listen again it gets stuck in my head for like a week. I did that with Monks of Doom, now I have to be careful about playing their albums because they just take over my inner music... I think Henry will do that.
I really like this, thanks for posting it. I somehow missed him. I checked... he is on Spotify, (along with Karyn)

I am now a "follower".
