I play guitar on songs. You've heard my playing on multiple country radio #1 hits, and my recording credits include Cody Johnson, Chris Janson, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Jimmie Allen, Matt Stell, David Lee Murphy, Josh Groban, Hillsong United, NewSong, Steven Tyler, HARDY, Chase Rice, Kassi Ashton, Mandisa, Shannon LaBrie, and many others.
The point of this channel is to help guitar players be better musicians. If you want to be the kind of guitar player other musicians want to start a band with or book on their gig/tour/record, this is the place for you.

Same sad story here in Vienna. Heritage does not mean a thing anymore.
every city it's harder and harder for artists to work used to be able to all locate in a cheap neighborhood now there's no cheap neighborhoods
Sad when good studios disappear. However, there may be an upside. All equipment may be further used nearby or so. One day you might walk into a studio and think... this looks familiar. Different premises sound different, but the feeling can be the same. To work with things you can and know. The soundboard from Sound City, for example, is used by the Foo Fighters.
Asheville has suffered this same thing, big money taking over everything
Great stuff, thanks. I'm a tone freak and I'm always looking for tips and tricks.
I had the pleasure of recording vocals on my album at Omni back in October of last year. With Rory and Dean Miller is my producer.
Greed doesn’t care about history….. Times are changing not sure i like it…..
Very cool!
There is not a damn thing going on in Texas.... no need for all you corporate types to look here. OK? Thanks.....
Used to work out of Omnisound all the time. Both during the A range era and the API era. It was unique (tile floor) and a great vibe. Loved the little B room too. With everything that’s been built around it, I can only assume a fortune was made…
I recorded lots of sessions at Omnisound in the 80’s & 90’s. Love the sound in there and that Neve….wow!!! I moved to Atlanta in 97…..miss my friends but not the business.
That 335 has a beautiful tone in your hands. :)
It's the Californian disease,, wherever they go they bring the Disney Nazi philosophy
Same thing happened to hamburgers, and Harleys.
Nashvegas,,,,
Losing it's soul? Now? Where've you been? The Nashville music business hitched it's wagon to the wrong horse years ago. Now they're reaping what they've sown. And it's a bumber crop!
This is heartbreaking. I feel sad I never got to see the states in its glory days. Everything is the same now.
Nashville's been dying, at least as far as it truly being "Music City", for quite some time. It had just started when I left for grad studies in composition, but each time I would go back for music biz, legal stuff, or dumpster-diving for cool gear, it was like experiencing bad, jumpy film continuity. Last time I was there was in Spring 2006; I haven't been back since. I've seen the changes in the studio lineup, also. When some stink came up about a push to demolish RCA A, I couldn't believe it. B, of course, is part of the HoF's historical holdings, but A was a duplicate of the sort of "big room" you found at their NYC and LA facilities...none of which exist in their original configurations now, leaving A as an amazing space for big tracking dates. Don't know if it still exists or not. But it's not the only endangered facility. Starday-King, up on Dickerson Rd., has sat deteriorating for decades...and IT was where many of James Brown's late 1960s and early 1970s work was cut, including "Sex Machine". I remember that because, the night they finished it, JB had an acetate cut of it and he booked downtown to WLAC and had Spider Harrison spin it. And I heard it...their switchboard nearly blew up with the requests to spin it again! I'd heard that someone was going to restore Starday-King...but then, I've heard that several times over since c. 1980. Others long past included Monument, in the old church by Division and McGavock. This was the first studio I'd ever been in, precipitating the first attack of GAS I had at the age of 10. They were cutting Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan's hit "Somewhere In Virginia In the Rain" on their amazing custom Flickinger desk when I visited. Woodland, over by Five Points in E. Nashville, was another. They had a custom prototype Jeep Harned desk which I actually got to mix on, sort of an update on EMI's TG12345. They were also the first Nashville studio to install one of the big Moog modular systems, as I recall. Even Berry Hill's been hit...I don't think Acuff-Rose has been active in a looooong time, plus I miss Treasure Island with its BRILLIANT adjustable chamber. Yeah...an adjustable echo chamber! They used something akin to a shower stall, fully waterproofed and sealed it, then added an underwater transducer and a pair of hydrophones. Want more time? Add more water! But thankfully, the most important one of all is...at least for now...apparently safe, and that would be Owen Bradley's quonset hut, dating from around 1949-50. There was only ONE time when some goofball at Sony thought it needed "replacing". I think he made it out to BNA alive after that suggestion. Maybe. Anyway, it's still there. Go around back of CBS/Sony on 17th, and you'll notice a weird, curved bit that seems really out of place. That is the only exterior indication of the quonset hut's presence. The rest of it was "absorbed" by the building, but aside of some refurbishing and minor acoustic adjustments, Owen Bradley's studio...Nashville's first deliberately-constructed recording facility...still exists. So it's not ALL doom-n-gloom. But the attitude of the town has changed, too. When Nashville's Chamber of Commerce "suggested" that the tourist shucks GTFO and go to Branson, we thought that it might improve things. Annnnnnd...nope, it didn't. Instead, they turned Lower Broad into the shuck to end all shucks, making it "safe" and "visitor friendly". This wrecked the gritty vibe. Killed it stone dead. I don't like going there now. I don't WANT to go there...I think the cognitive dissonance would be more than I could handle. Thomas Wolfe on 'roids, pretty much. I prefer to remember it as I do, not as what it's becoming. Too painful.
Money changes everything. Same as it ever was.
Sadly happening in all big markets.
Why not start a coalition with everyone being a shareholder and rebuild another "music row" under another name. Position each venue, recording studios as well, in the order that it needed to be done, centrally stationing the bars around them sorta like circling the wagons to protect them. I would imagine that you would find many backers that would invest in that, keeping old and new country alive much like traditional and contemporary Christian music in the church. Lets all play nice and get this fixed. We could do it.
How do you or your peers feel about ai taking over some things? I have friends that do jingles and music scores for video games and lower budget movies/shows. Are the guys in Nashville concerned? Maybe thats a good topic for a video? I see ai taking over many industries unfortunately.
California went from farmland to numbered freeway exits with strip malls, big box and fast food stores in about 20 years. Many are empty after being replaced by new housing developments with their own same junk businesses. It's so distructive, like a disease. Old downtowns try to rejuvinate, often deteriorating into office spaces. It's a shame how wasteful the quest for profit is.
I’m burning my guitar right now, fuck me! That was awesome and something I’ll never be able to do. 😂
The conundrum is that more and more high rise condos are being built for those moving to Nashville to make it in the music business… but that music biz is being strangled by the same transplants. There’s a great joke I heard years ago that is quite true. What’s the difference between a waiter in Los Angeles and a waiter in Nashville? In LA you ask your waiter, “who’s your acting coach?” In Nashville you ask your waiter, “what kind of guitar strings do you use?”
This is the song for the Ford F-150 commercial
Wow!!! Impressive!! Now write the lyrics!!👏
They need to be more protective of old houses too.. if the mayor was worth anything...... a parallel universe perhaps.. Anything older than like 50 or 60 needs to be really hard to tear down without being well scrutinized.
With your criteria, it's an easy choice: Novo Serus J or Miris J.....
That still going? It's a great riff, it is! But hey, there's a great competition and this is already like yesterday's news. Come up with another one!
California moves east and screws up our side of the country bringing their crap with them
Good explanation of numbers in song, now how do you know who plays when or how much ??
Yeah, except for the huge corporate spaces, Capitol Records, etc that now primarily work film score, the old Neve and SSL console based spaces are dinosaurs...and have been for some time now. Surely you have seen that coming. And if you haven't noticed, the music industry as a whole is but a hollowed out shell of its former self. The steady march of technology has seen to that.
Joy Ford was fighting them, they wanted to take her studio also.
Nashville was done in 1998. You're just describing its animated corpse. Its coporation if you will.
Tom Delonge gettin country with it
Thanks for this video! I’ve been struggling with this and my GE7. Will keep working in it!
Tragic, so sad. 😢
Nashville lost its soul in the 1990s buddy
It’s disappointing when others do not appreciate or recognize value in the same things we do. It makes us feel less connected if we think others don’t share our priorities and interests. Others didn’t understand what made them special. They didn’t take the time or they just didn’t value it as much. I’m sorry, buddy. It can be disappointing.
Justin, agree. I'm about to launch a new Parh for singer songwriter performers. It will revive Nashville artist/tourists scheduling/visiting. Get in touch. I'm a long day's drive from N ville. Need the lay of the land. Let's stand her back up! - Drew PA USA
One of the weirder things is a really great Les Paul sounds like a beefy Telecaster, so much so that it can be hard to guess which is which. That's without really any processing or EQ in the chain.
+ 1 on the Ultraphones! 👍
WOW. With What happened at soul shine pizza You basically described what California Democrats do when they move into a city. They destroyed California. , then Austin, Asheville NC and now Nashville. Its what california democrats do everytime they move into an Americana city. They systemically destroy its soul and turn it into a souless hellhole with no character. Learn from it. Never let california democrats near your city.
Follow the money. Everywhere you look there is business consolidation. Airlines, communication, tech, music, movies, are all consolidating. It is about a few people at the top taking as much as they possibly can. We are all worse off because of it. Bring back real music and musicianship like we used to know and love.
literally got goosebumps, this is great
Its not just Nashville either. I had great memories of that place decades ago. It was the perfect mix of a big little town. Now it is full of hacks.
Cool, tone chasing of the non cork sniffing, bum bag wearing, fat wallet variety. Love it.
Unfortunately, Nashville has been losing its soul for many years now.
that's exactly what I was thinking.
We're seeing this in Texas also. We have a saying, "Don't California my Texas!"
@@qcc5 In Florida, they say Don’t New York my Florida. 😜
Thanks for your insight Justin, and sorry for this loss. Really sad. The laptop and home studios are replacing this real estate.
