I appreciate everything about how Mick explained his point. I feel like the reason why a lot of us watch that pedal show is way beyond just finding out about gear. Of course there are so much useful info about gear on this channel, but it’s always about Dan and Mick sharing their passion and getting creative with these videos that makes all of this so much more entertaining and actually helps us to not forget that music is about creating what you love and the journey towards that. I’m just a 20 year old kid from Japan,(mixed race, long story) and if you guys happen to read this by any chance (Dan & Mick) please know that what you guys are doing inspire so many people like me who love playing guitar and want to create inspiring sounds out of our instrument.

Mick, this is my favorite video you've headed up. So genuine and heartfelt. Thanks for all you guys do.

After 40 years of guitar playing (and lots of gear passing by) I now settled to a small amount of gear that i found and kept over the years. I don't think I've bought anything for the last 2-3 years. Some of my "rules" are: - One good guitar per type. Strat, Telecaster, 335, LP and LP Jr. (and a cheap bass for my recordings) - A small valve amp with really good speakers (1x12" plus a 4x12") - Tuner, boost, 2xsoft clipping OD, Ditto looper and reverb. - Keep the gear in good condition. Change the strings, do set up, good tubes, biased, good quality cables etc - Keep the room clean. Hide cables. Make it quick & easy to grab a guitar and play. - I write songs. Get a good microphone (I use an old SM57) and a simple DAW (I use Audacity). And I can start a recording (if I get an idea for a riff, lick or a melody) within 5 seconds. It's all set and ready to go. I even have a flexible mike holder for the SM57 mounted on my 1x12 and connected to the audio interface. No time wasted looking for cables and connect stuff...just record... - Put 5-10 minutes aside for "boring training" each day. Set the alarm on the phone and run the scales or practice that new lick. 5-10 minutes...but do it every day... - Practice to backing tracks or recordings for flow in your playing. Get the chops. And talk to your neighbours. I live in an apartment in an old building in city. Put a riff on the ditto, high volume, and went to my neighbours (with a dB meter) asking at what volume they found it to loud. 92dB were acceptable for them. Then I knew. So my philosophy today is: Spend time on playing, be creative, have fun, have good stuff...instead of dreaming about "the next cool gear"

Controversial opinion: there’s nothing wrong with being a collector. I can’t afford a bunch of fancy high-end guitars, but if someone else can, who cares? They’re not hurting anybody. Having 50 overdrive pedals goes to help a bunch of small boutique business owners have a career they love. Some people like a stripped down rig, some people like a massive arsenal. No one is being hurt. Why do guitar players care so much about what others do?

@@ThatPedalShow I also don’t think there is anything inconsistent with what Keith is asking - having gone through a few of his vids (thanks for making me aware!) I sort of boil down his point(s) to: - Understand what you are trying to do, what activity you are trying to engage in. - Have the gear, and in some ways only the gear, that helps you do those things. There is no implicit judgement, there, on the an individual’s intent or purpose - and thus no judgement on ‘how many’ things one may have. But it’s an interesting question to pose - ‘what are you trying to do...other than just gather’...and take it from there.

Love the show guys. I always tell my friends to watch. Great episode today. I find that I’m always seeking that balance between too much gear and not enough.

I don’t think it’s the amount of gear. It’s the build and sound quality. I can honestly say , buying great gear has progressed my playing far more than my old line 6 spider turned to a low volume. Having the right gear to get the sound that’s in your head into reality is paramount.

When covid-lockdown started here in L.A., I started buying pedals out of boredom - always an amp distortion with a tube screamer for a boost .. for decades. I sing and play rhythm, so I rarely even needed the boost. I stumbled-across this show early-on and your playing blew my mind. Most American gear-channel hosts are metal-centric ... not my thing. Now I have 30 + pedals & have improved to the point that I’m considering going 3-piece. Pedals inspired me to play more & get better. We’re very close to being turned-loose - which means I can start rehearsing the stuff I’ve been writing with other guys. I’ve never been more confident in my playing. Thank you for the inspiration & advice. This show has been a very valuable oasis for an at-risk guy who’s been locked-down for a year this Sunday. ☮️

Nice! Especially the playing at the end. Man, I love Guitar sounds too!

About a year ago I built a small board with five pedals: tumnus, phase 95, ep boost, sp compressor, flashback mini delay on a small pedaltrain board using pedaltrain's powersupply. My large board (with 17+ pedals, many being expensive boutique units) was too much to haul to a weekly jam with some of the neighborhood rockers, and i was worried about damage or theft. The consequence has been that the large board has been largely ignored lately. Sometimes i miss the wha and fuzz, but it is amazing how much music can be found in the small board. Thank you for your time and attention. Cheers from Michigan.

This was very inspiring. I really appreciate the intimate 1-on-1 style that this took, though of course I love the normal TPS format as well. Mick, playing was amazing as always. Cannot WAIT to see Dan's MMLG (most music least gear) setup!

Fantastic video Mick. Your honesty and thoughtfulness shine through everything you do. Wonderfull playing as ever. Thank you.

You guys are helping me grow as a player in ways I never expected. Thanks for all that you do!!!

How many guitars is enough? - Just one more...that's always the answer. But in all seriousness, not having enough gear isn't the end of the world. The amount of sounds you can get with limited gear is astounding if the time is put in. But it's about what sounds good to you as an individual, if it sounds good to you that's all you need.

Brilliant message at the end. Excellent close. “Play what inspires you” 🎤 drop

This is the result of a journey. At the end of the day you plug in to inspire and grow. Love it!

I've never seen the similarity before, but now I can't unsee it. Fantastic episode! I've had a huge board at times and a few pedals at times. I can definitely agree its all about the journey. Thanks again for all you do TPS

Loved this vlog! I bought a Helix awhile back for cover and P&W gigs and it really inspired me to reduce my “analog” rig to the essentials. No longer needing to get ALL of the sounds allowed me to focus on getting MY sound.

"Find creativity from limitations" - the great Peter Gabriel is an example of that - his rule of no cymbals / hi-hats resulted in the Intruder / 80's gated reverb drum sound.

Some great tones and playing here today Mick. Also love your thoughts and insights, great food for thought. Thanks

It's been a long bumpy road: a 12 years old, with a Wayne's world strat and solid state vox amp. As soon as I turned the tremolo on I was hooked on sound. What ever makes you enjoy the journey is the least amount of gear. My ultimate tone was an acoustic guitar in a large hall. To the heavens 🤘

Great watch, perfect for the mid afternoon lull, stick some headphones on and wash up some dishes. Surprised the Maxon TS and Blue Fuzz Face weren't used! I think this is really good and goes with the reading you recommended at the new year about how comparison is the root of unhappiness and I love the sentiment of playing what you like, what pushes you to make more music and not giving a damn about what anyone else says!

Beautiful jam at the end!! Tonal mastery & soulful playing

Hey Mick. I've been playing professionally for some 50 years. In all that time, I've remained committed to my fingers rather than the gear. Not because I necessarily like it that way, just because there aren't enough hours in the day to get my fingers to do what I want them to do. Then came lock down and all the gigs dried up and I found myself with a bit more time on my hands and without gigs to practice for, a touch less motivation. I decided to "allow" myself to explore the mysteries of tone. That was a year and a half ago and I now find myself with two pedal boards and a couple new guitars and an often confused zeal for how do I turn all this gear into music. In my newfound quest I do find myself watching videos like yours all to often rather than working out how to get the sounds I want out of my guitar (and amp and pedals and cables). However, I am having a GREAT time and approaching music in new ways that has opened me up and improved my capacity to both listen and play. Hell, I even play my acoustic differently these days, paying attention to nuances of tone that completely escaped me in the past. So your right - it is the journey that matters and the players willingness to stay open and welcome the beginner no matter how experienced you may be. And anything that kindles that creative spark is well worth the price of admission. That said, I did recently buy the most important piece of kit of my life. A TPS T-shirt. So now, my capacity to play won't really matter as now I can wear the shirt to shows and stand in the back of the club with a slightly disdainful look on my face and feel fully accomplished without ever touching a guitar! Thanks!

Now I could live with 2 guitars 1 amp 1 board and a box I got of anything hookup for stage; wireless, D I , extra cords strings picks, music, tuner ,capo. Anything needed for working on stage. I usual don't even bring stands anymore. But I got everything to put 6 people to work including 3 singers. Most of all that stuff was so cheap or free that I just couldn't refuse it.

I'm getting back into playing after a long break but I can relate. I recently doubled my guitar collection from two to four. But I still have just one amp and two pedals, one of which is getting repaired. But I'll probably get a couple more pedals just because of what I have learned here on this channel and that should be quite a bit of fun, and that's kind of the point.

Bare minimum: suhr strat, taylor acoustic, (3) pedals: dual channel overdrive, boss dd-500 & f.t.t. tri-avatar chorus with 65 blackface fender princeton reverb = (6) items. Mick - this was great. I'm with you my brother: "No Strat, No Happy"

Great vid Mick! Loved it and was spotted on

Some truly great themes in this vid. Awesome, as always!

I think gathering gear has more to do with an experimental mindset and the musical journey of finding your sound. Than about owning stuff. Alot of people sell the stuff they don't need anymore once they have found their sound or the sound they are happy with and inspires them.

One personal anecdote: I dabble in keyboard/piano, and I have no GAS at all: I don't follow the industry or influencers; I just want to learn more songs. Yet I have guitar-related GAS like everyone else. I think that guitars are like jewelry or art, and that leads to "want" (and the amps, pedals, are ancillary to that).

Thank you Shannon!

I recently sold my amps and bought a Princeton. Everyone told me that I was crazy, but the Princeton works fine for me.

What else do you need?

I really enjoyed this one. I absolutely love my pedals and the way they sound but every now and then plugging straight into an amp is a really good palate cleanse.

It's really amazing the spectrum of tone a decent tube amp can provide just adjusting the volume and tone on your guitar

Great video! 😁. Enjoyed the epilogue, cheers Mick!

I loved everything about this. Made my day. From the content to the style to the production...

I love Keith and have been working from his philosophy for a long time. Now I actually play the guitar instead of faffing about with different pedals. By the way, Keith was my introduction to Jeff McErlain.

Really great timing for this video, as I’m constantly on that journey to have only what I need and nothing more. 2 guitars, one amp, 4 pedals is the sweet spot for me.

Pretty special there at the end Mick! Always enjoy your approach to life, love and the pursuit of tone!

Mick touched on this analogy, but gear is like a painters palette. Sure some artists work in black and grey but there’s nothing wrong with a bit of color in your life.

"Not doing because we dont have", hit right to da core

I really needed to see this today. A brilliant synthesis of what at first seem like opposing ideas but apparently are more connected on closer inspection. Thanks Mick!

This is brilliant stuff, Mick! Well done. You guys are the best!
