Three days of guitar highlights from Chicago’s world-renowned festival.
Death From Above 1979’s Jesse Keeler
A longtime Rickenbacker user, Keeler is now very comfortable with his ’69 Dan Armstrong bass. He likes the short scale, 24-fret design, which better suits his playing style and approach than anything he’s ever played. Keeler switched between this and a similar ’71 model. Here he’s thrashing with the ’69 on the band’s ripper “Turn It Out.”
