Protege.

I showed this picture of E to a student last night. I was showing my guitar-playing guy. The student gasped and asked, “Is that a Les Paul? And is that- it looks like a custom pickup!”

“I don’t always know their names,” I say. “I recognize them by who plays them. That’s the Jimmy Page, as opposed to the Jimi Hendrix.”

Student, E, goes alert. “Jimmy Page is my inspiration! I have all the Led Zeppelin here,” He indicates his iPod.

“High five, Zep fans,” I say, and hold out my hand for a high five. He slaps it.

The brotherhood of guitar players stretches father than I had thought.
