Strangleholding.

Does anyone care to elaborate on strangleholding for me, is it like a style of playing, picking what? I'm slightly confused, and at the same time very interested in learning how to stranglehold, thanks to the great Ted Nugent.

I never got the impression that Ted was singing about a guitar from those lyrics:

 

GONNA CRUISE IS A ***** NOW BABY

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T DO ME 'ROUND

IF YOUR HOUSE GETS IN MY WAY BABY

YOU KNOW I'LL BURN IT DOWN

 

YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHT THAT YOU LEFT ME

YOU PUT ME IN MY PLACE

GOT YOU IN A STRANGLEHOLD NOW BABY

YOU BETTER CROSS YOUR WAY

 

Seems to me he's pissed off about something.

I think a good many of Ted's songs make some sort of sexual reference...

 

Ted is great in concert! I saw him in late 70's at Rockford Speedway (Illinois) for his Weekend Warrior tour - still have the concert shirt. Just an exciting and outstanding show - Nazareth and April Wine too. Awesome!

You haven't seen Ted since the late 70's?? Dang. He's even better now.

Over the years I either didn't live near where he would be in concert or didn't have the $$ to go to a show. I did see him join Aerosmith on stage for a few songs.

 

However, I used to live about 20 miles from him when I lived in Texas - He has a house just outside of Crawford, TX and I used to visit the music/hunting store he owns in Waco, TX

Now that's cool

I saw him a few months ago here in Corpus Christi at the Concrete Street Amphitheater (smaller, open venue) he's still the man! It looked like he was playing ES135's or ES137's as they had florentine cut-aways instead of the rounded byrdland cut-away. Did Byrdlands come both ways?
