Who is the overbearing arrogant guy in the checkered shirt that likes to hear himself talk and comes across as a know it all and technical expert on all topics...This character tends to want to dominate the conversation and be the center of attention. What's his claim to his self proclaimed fame? I thought he was Gruhn's repair shop guy. This guy talks like he knows more about everything music/guitars than George, Vince and Tom and is totally impressed with himself. Very annoying personality and totally opposite of the humble, sincere likeable Vince Gill. If I were George Gruhn, I would reel him in and have a man to man talk with him. With the knowledge, experience, success of Vince Gill, George Gruhn and Tom Bukovac, this arrogant checkered shirt guy totally dominated this conversation and on air time, undermining Vince, George and Tom as the focal point know it all character.

Greg is a great dude. I visited Nashville and walked into Gruhn's wearing a Carter shirt. He took one look, chuckled and gave me a Gruhn's shirt off the shelf.

Really...One just has to watch this video unbiased and listen.. He may be a great individual in many facets but to me, in this video, he came across as a dominating character with "all the answers". @@501chorusecho

“I have several of your bad weekends” is such a hilarious line Vince casually tossed out. Not only is he one of the best ever, guy certainly has jokes 🤣

I'll second that, and great jokes to boot!

The world needs more Vince Gills.

The part about George being so gracious and inviting is so true. My wife and I visited Nashville last year. We went to Gruhn's . George was at lunch. As we were leaving George pulled up. We asked for a picture with him in front of the building, which he obliged. After the photo I mentioned a 1933 Martin he had advertise on his website. He said you want to see it? Of course I said yes knowing I could never afford such an instrument. He carried us upstairs to his floor of the building. He showed us his snakes. My wife even held and petted his white python. He showed us all the instruments he had in his private area. He played some Bluegrass for us. We spent over an hour with George and his knowledge of things other than guitars was so enjoyable. The highlight of our trip for sure.

Vince is just.. wonderful. So real, genuine and emotionally and mentally in touch with a wide variety of people. Vince is Vince.

I love watching Tom’s face as George goes off on his tangents. Pure gold.

Mr. Gruhn is a national treasure. Great that you are recording these heady conversations. Very interesting discussions….thanks for sharing this with us.

Seeing this video posted is like waking up on Christmas Morning when I was a kid. Thanks Corey, Greg, Vince, George and Uncle Larry for letting me be a fly on the wall at this party 🙌

George….bless his heart. He can’t help it. 🤣

Tom and Vince definitely belong in the back of the class. You guys crack me up. Thanks Uncle Larry for doing this and thanks to the guys for helping you do it!

Vince Gills is the Gentleman of Gentlemen. Integrity and honesty is a rare thing in this crazy world. Thank’s for this. You are both rare…

It’s hard to believe I met most of these folks when I visited the shop about a month ago. Everyone was super friendly, kind, and helpful even with my two toddlers and wife in tow. I’m grateful to be provided this opportunity to listen in on another great conversation at Gruhn’s!

Thanks for bringing us along to this wonderful gathering. There is a whole lot of knowledge and talent sitting around that room!

Man, I really enjoyed this interview. Thanks so much for your show!

Man, that was just a master course in guitar history. Thanks for sharing Uncle Larry!

I could listen to George all day. Thank you!

2 of my all time favorite guitar players, then add in the great George Gruhn and Greg voros, it doesn't get any better than this....Awesome, thanks Tom

Man!! I love these episodes. And Vince included in this one, Love it uncle Larry. Thank you!

You're really pumping it out lately, Tommy. Thanks so much, this is great.

I did wander off a bit but it was cool listening to George pass along so much history. And Vince is a real crack up! Thanks for the field trip Tom!

Thank you for giving us all a seat at this table Tom. Truly educational and special.

I love hearing all of you chat about history, and Vince's humor and jokes - I simply love it!

This is a great conversation to be a fly on the wall to witness. It reminds me that conversations between friends is the same no matter who you happen to be. Thanks Tom. Keep shining!

Many thanks, Uncle Larry. I feel like I’ve been sat at a table with the coolest bunch of Uncles ever. Watching you and Vince cracking each other up was truly heart warming. Thanks again ✌️

Absolutely fantastic conversation gentlemen. Even into my 50's and so much to learn still. I'm in love with the guitar and music in general now more than ever. Thanks for the history lesson George. Great stuff to chew on.🙏

Watching this, I feel like a fly on the wall in a room full of giants. Thank you for sharing Tom!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this series at Gruhn’s. I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy watching you guys shoot the shit I could watch these all day. I love how passionate Mr Gruhn is about the instrument. Thank you for doing these !!!

Thank you for letting me be a fly on the wall for this round table chat. This was the best hour I have spent in a very long time. The knowledge a humor of these folks is a joy. I hope you do more of these.

These are always my favorite videos...Gruhn's hangs are the best!

The hits keep happening! Thanks Tommy! (Vince, we ALL built our musical life around the six beers theory!)

Love listening to the Gruhn's circle, the stories and the jokes are fantastic!! Thank you all!!!

I could listen to Mr. Gruhn all day. Incredible knowledge. I learned so much watching this. Fantastic episode!

A freakin Eagle is sitting in the group, a living legend, and he hardly gets a word in edgewise... Lol. Gotta love Vince's humility and down-to-Earth'ness. I wish more were like him.

Love Vince. What a good sport and a true gentleman. But wow, what a shame we didn't get to hear much from him. And finally at the end, Tom says, "Guys. Guitar channel." "I gotta piss, let's get to the punchline, Vince whaddaya wanna say?" "I'm good." Hahahaa! Yep, what a gentleman. Yeah, would LOVE it if Tom had a chat with Vince like he did with Dann Huff (that was gold).

It reminded me of an interview I watched with EVH and DLR back when they were getting ready for the final tour. DLR completely took over the conversation, interrupting Ed when he was trying to talk, and I was thinking, "Dude, wake up to some self-awareness. We tuned in to listen to what Ed has to say, not you!" 😅 But it's all good. Great video regardless.

My Christmas is complete….what a gift to “be in the room” listening with these men’s who are so generous to share their knowledge and passions for guitar…..thanks Larry and all.

Again another great segment that no doubt will be cherished for years to come. I also love your facial expressions every time someone cell phone went off. I will put money on it that you have everyone put their phones in a bucket and leave them outside the room next time Lol.

Amazing stuff gentleman. I love how Tom cracks himself up continuously. Don’t change Buko !

Pure gold! Thanks Tom

It great to hear about the old Nashville from George. These KZread of yours are the best learn cords and history about guitars and good fun THANKS Uncle Larry

Just amazing!!! What a wealth of knowledge! WOW! THANK YOU TOMMY

Great fun. Good on Vince for being on this. Thanks Tom

Thanks for everything Tom, and thanks for doing these fun and informative hangouts!

Absolutely fantastic . If you are a guitar lover, this is the stuff your dreams are made of. Thank you Tom for gettin' us inside that wonderful place where time seems to stop. Vince is one of my true heroes and having him in the show is just phenomenal. What a down to earth genuine and funny gentleman he is. The guys workin' at the shop are excellent and then you have the one and only George Gruhn, you can learn more about guitar with him in half an hour than in one month in the University. Thank you Uncle Larry, much much love from West Spain 🙂

Hey, Tom. Of all the things Vince so richly deserves recognition for, being a good man sure seems top of the list. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, wouldn't the world be so much better if we could all follow his example and imitate that. Thanks so much for giving us a peek at your friends and you in your natural habitat.

Truly another golden moment. This is just another reason why this is the only KZread site anyone should visit.

Thanks, Little Tommy. I really enjoy these!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. As a long time guitar player, it answered questions to quite a bit of topics I've thought about in the past.

What a privaledge to be able and get this kinda insight on the good stuff. I hear ya loud and clear and Vince also said it. Doesnt matter if its a guitar that doesnt play good. Ive noticed good guitars will have a sweet spot. Thanks Tom for taking the time for including us. Love ya buddy

I really enjoyed this Tom, I felt like I was there sitting listening to great gentleman!!

Uncle Larry, thank you so much for doing this!! It was a couple minutes before I recognized Vince!! It's been a minute, or his beard changed color or something. LOL But I just can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! One person was a little over bearing, but that's human nature, that's just the way it is. George is so precious, people sometimes don't get it. I had an Aunt that passed away in 1998. She was born in 1899, and was 99 years old. She lived in an assisted living place, and had gotten appendicitis. They could do a simple surgery and she would have been fine, she just said it was time to go. I stopped every day for 4 months and talked with her. I learned a wealth of things from family to world events she had experienced first hand! She flew in a Ford TriMotor in the early 30's and a Boeing 737-200 in the 70's!! She lived through 2 world wars, Korea and Vietnam! About 3-4 hours a day we talked till she was too tired. Then I got there one day and the bed was empty. That's why I love to hear George talk about things. I'm a Vince Gill fan too, but as a player. I love his road stories, and everything that happened in his past. People don't do enough of that anymore, just sit around and have conversation. This was special, so are you! Thanks so much!! --gary

This was like being invited to sit at the grown ups table as a kid, only waaay more interesting. I learn so much from these sessions. Thank you for letting us behind the curtain.

This was so funny! Thank you guys! ❤️

That was so much fun, thanks for inviting us!

I enjoyed this "fly on the wall" video more than anything I've watched on KZread in along time. Thanks for this great content. T😎

I only ever went to the old store downtown back in the late 90s, would love to visit the new place. Really enjoy listening to Vince (and George!), great roomful of folks! 🙏

Makes me feel so good! Thank’s! 🖖

Unc, you are the the best MC in the biz. Keep up the great work.

Add this episode to the Pure Gold album! Thank you everyone for doing this, and for inviting us in to listen!

Sitting back with a beverage I feel like I'm sitting at the table having a blast with the boys at Gruhn's. Love to hang with you guys, thank you.

Great episode. Thanks for posting!

“ ‘54 Fibonacci?…..they’re incredible”. Thanks for putting this up Tom. Very entertaining and educational programming.

I absolutely loved this....the camaraderie and story telling was unsurpassed...would've love soaking up the love between some of these giants ....good stuff...

What a great episode Tom. A lot of guitar history education right there. Awesome!

Uncle Larry holding court! Love these Gruhn’s visits and all the secondhand wisdom. Cheers

These videos will go down as documented historical content, thx Buk

So awesome that you share hangs like this with the HS crew!

I could listen to these for hours... Vince seems like the most laid back, chill guy ever, and then the jokes!

Awesome episode…thanks Tom!

Great stuff as always, Tom!! Wow!!

Killer roundtable!! Thanks fer turnin' on the camera, Unk!!

This is pure gold!!✌️

Been waiting for another episode of this segment. Such sweet dudes. I love that Larry never remembers what his segments are called.

What a blast!! lol! Really appreciate you letting us in on this!! What a precious moment!! Would’ve loved to been there, mostly so I could take those fellas phones away from them. lol! Funny to watch everyone kinda cringe when they’d ring. lol! Thank you Sir!!

These are so cool man! Thanks!!

One of your best. 👍

Always thought the world of VINCE but now I have way more respect for the man!!! He is an absolute giant in the biz and a really authentic guy!!!

Thanks for doing this Tom!

Really enjoyable to listen to people who have lived and breathed guitars their entire lives have a discussion sharing their knowledge, opinions, and experiences .

I acquired my first vintage instrument (i only have two, not a collector, player stuff) only a gentlemens deal- like what they were talking about towards the beginning. Meaning i bought this old SG from my buddy for what he paid and agreed that if I were to ever sell itd be offered first to him and at the price he sold it to me. It is the right thing to do and honestly keeps a lot of these instruments playing and in the hands of players imo

I love your channel so so much man! Too bad I missed the first couple of years. Always late to the party. 😅 Oh, and I just gotta tell you how beautiful your song ”Off my mind” is. It’s never leaving my playlist! Stunning!

I love the Gruhns episodes. So organic 🙏

This was cool. Fun seeing you all have a good time. Thanks! Vince seems like such a cool guy, a real down to earth person. I don't care about meeting famous people but he definitely is one person I wish I could meet. Always been a big fan!

⁠​⁠@@501chorusecho- This is absolutely, 100% as sincere as sincere gets…there is no other musician on this planet that I would like to meet (in person) more than you. I would want nothing from you - zero. I’d like to meet you to just to look you in the eye, and try my best to communicate how much I appreciate what you’ve given me through all your videos. I don’t need you to recognize me, should we ever meet a second time. I don’t need you to remember my name, I don’t want anything from you. I just like the idea of you walking away from that encounter and pausing to really realize (and appreciate) the profound impact you’re having out here. Pick any video…read almost any of the comments…they’re all kinda communicating the same thing I am here - I’d just like to tell you mine, eye to eye.

Great roundtable discussion!!....I went to Gruhn's for the first time 3 years ago...Spent an hour drooling over every guitar in the store...Met Cory, who is one of the nicest guys ever!!...We ended up realizing we're both from Long Island NY and that we both worked at the same guitar shop there in 1987...He was the guy who replaced me when I quit!!...Again, great video gents!!...

This is gold! George with the tangents and Vince with the one liners lol

I met VG on his tour bus thirty yrs ago, thanks to a buddy of mine who had been a long time acquaintance with vince's tour manager. both were a couple of sweethearts. later on VG played that venue, humphrey's on shelter island san diego, as the sun was setting. gorgeous lil outdoor venue to match the music🌴🌇

This is just great. Simply great 🍻

This is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in months..

This is just Gotdamm wonderful. Thanks Buk.

Mr G is right. Outside Broadway is like a musical nervous breakdown 😂

Grab your umbrellas for this one. The boys rain down some knowledge👍. Appreciate it Unc!!

Wow, you are surrounded by really good people Uncle Larry. You all are the kind of people we could use more of. We all can learn a life lesson from Vince's example. But all these good people around you also tell us about you....a genuinely good dude.

Tom, I enjoy all of your videos. Best wishes to you and your family for a happy, prosperous new year. - Tim

Great Job Tom bringing the Team Together for a great Conference at the Hall of Gruhns Guitars 🎸 👍🏻🆒

Vince Gill .. my hero. A long time ago I had to cover all his guitar stuff and sing high harmony in our 70's Pure Prairie League cover band. Got to get to Gruhn's some day. When Stan Jay was still alive I used to regularly stop in to Mandolin Bros every time that I needed to call on DiMarzio to sell them with connectors and patch cables. I loved Mandolin Bros, too bad it's gone now. Got to play a lot of "I'll never be able to afford that" guitars there.

Great hour. Well worth the watch.

Great video, especially the last few minutes... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

good stuff...my gruhns adventure as a canadian...made the pilgrimage in 2014 ish and loved it. Wanted an old firebird but couldnt afford it. My ladyfriend pissed off the salesman by asking if Gruhns had a bargain bin... Found a national baritone roundneck in the back for 2500 that was wonderful!...got it home and googled it and got no results!!! nothing in the entire planet matched what I had. Contacted National and they told me I had a prototype for a tricone from 2001 that was a one off from the back of the factory when they were working up powder coated tricones. Became my little gift from heaven.

You're spoiling us! ❤

George Gruhn is so understated and quite a heavy thinker. Great guy!

Larry & Vince plus the gang with George at Gruhn’s … Homeskoolin days at Gruhn’s always great !

Nice!! Good seeing Vince. 👍
