My favorite part was, well... EVERYTHING. The tone he coaxes out of that Strat, man, it like reaches into your soul and rattles around in there awhile before pulling on your nutsack a little.
My wife is ready to kill me because I've been playing it nonstop for days, running into the music room to try and get my Strat to do that between listens.
Might have to go get me a Beck sig Strat.
