This is obviously guy who can play, going through a really nice tube amp in a big room. Is it the best HiFi sound? No, it sounds like an old blues record (well, the room is too big to really sound like Chess records, but ...) :-).
We lose focus so much (yea, me too, I am sometimes guilty) on what we are supposed to be doing. Recording music.
Oh, and I live in Austin, and I have never heard any playing like that in OUR guitar ctr. Some great players in town but I haven't run into any of them hanging out playing at Gtr Ctr.

See this is what everyone is missing.
Sure, Billy's playing some nice blues licks on #1. But it sounds like Guitar Center tone.
On #2 it was cleaned up as part of, I guess, a lesson video?
And of course the commercial release of "Tube Snake Boogies" has even better tone.
Going from #1 to Commercial Release Sound is the point.
#1 is Assness tone with good playing. Eliminator is the removal of the assness in the tone. Same player, same riffs. #1 is assness, Commercial release is not.
Difference?
Studio techniques maybe?
So what are those?
LOL!
Geezus!
