Thanks for the great hang!

As the head of production at 3rd Power, I brought caldwell guitars up to My boss at 3p after attending their grand opening party and being thoroughly impressed by Silas' business prowess at a young age. We are so happy to be working with a such amazing person! The whole Caldwell family has become my family in Nashville and it's so amazing to see them being featured and supported. Myself and the team at 3rd Power are massive supporters of the Caldwell Guitars family! (And Tyler, if you want to do a factory tour, anytime reach out!) Ps. Silas is going places, both business wise and music wise. He's incredible

Look, I didn't buy a new guitar, I supported local

This kid is only 16 and already killing it. Well done young man, well done indeed!!!

Kid going places. Smart idea to have a homegrown high end shop in the epicenter of homegrown guitar music…maybe not the first but as a salesman myself I can identify his authenticity and he is more excited about contributing to people’s creativity and musical vision than necessarily the financial aspect. High five to his dad- it’s tough to get the modern young male human to be excited about anything. I know as a father of one.

What a great young man. Doing something he loves & serious about it. I wish him nothing but good luck and good fortune.

That kid is cool AF. His parents must be immeasurably proud

16 years old and he knows his stuff , well done it's young people like you who will keep guitar music alive and kicking 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

To have that much music knowledge at such a young age is not only super impressive, it gives me hope for future generations.

Insane amount of respect for doing something this ambitious that young, especially the balance in workload. The Gibson ES-125 shows a lot of versatility, especially with that Radiohead approach haha.

The Caldwells are the best!

What an impressive young man, he's the whole package, sure he's got a great career ahead of him.

I'm 2 minutes in and this kid rocks. Very happy to see both young musicianship and entrepreneurship. I hope he goes far with both.

What an incredible young man Silas is, so much under his belt at that age, he is going to go far, in whichever of his many fields he chooses to persue. And thank you Tyler for highlighting and supporting him and his family's business, you continue to be an amazing human being always! 👍❤️

That shop and that kid is awesome!!! So glad to see a young person so interested in guitars and music and giving a voice to boutique instrument and equipment makers.

Cool! That young man knows his stuff! Happy to hear you are supporting local! Wishing all the best in his endeavors!!!😊

So glad you made/posted this. That kid is fantastic. I hope this video helps him.

I wish all 16 year old's were as mature & sensible as Silas. Bless you, kid.. you rock! 🤘

So great to see young and independent shops like this! Well done, Silas! Fantastic stuff.

Finally we see young kid who's got some stuff figured out! He looks set up to live a good life. This is a must for my ext Nashville trip (soon!) And that Radohead cover sounds massive!! Can't wait.

Great vid guys! You not only managed to educate many of us on a few boutique brands but also delivered a multitude of warm messages. Much respect for this young man’s dad! Very cool 👍🏼

What a great feature piece! I love this kind of stuff. You managed to find a great shop, and a great kid, and you used your platform to draw attention to a genuinely cool venture that many of us will want to support. I wish them continued success... and hope that Young Master Caldwell stays true to the lessons he's learned. Where can I buy a tee shirt?

Love the Ten Years after cover. One of my favorite bands.

What an inspiring young man...and such a great little store, always love to see small stores with magical finds.

This Kid is pretty cool...knows his stuff without constantly trying to prove it to you. I wish him much success.

That is a very old soul in a young mans body. This brother oozes that late 60's early 70's top touring act vibe. That whole I know I got skillz and I don't need flash or hype to tell you about it. On a side note Tyler.. Look into @Bills Guitar Garage and check out his hand wound Sonoran pickups. I just got into building guitars and have been "ONLY" EMG since 1983. I put a set into an LP reconstruction project and will be adding the second set into an Explorer I built last year for a guitar building competition. These pickups changed my mind. You won't be disappointed.

Very impressive Silas, keep it going my friend. It’s nice to see you keeping the music going !!

You RULE for this - -and I hope his store is HUGELY successful

16yrs old with a wealth of guitar knowledge and it’s only gonna grow! 💪🏻💯 Respect! Silas is now and the future!

Everything about this just screams COOL. Silas seems awesome and set for bringing goodness to the world with a great heart! I also love the goal of the shop and how well you supported it. Beautiful all around ✌🏾

Raised right...this young man is bright, got his head on right, and has a bright future. So good to see someone young with passion, drive, purpose and direction. I see success in what ever he pursues.

It never fails to amaze me when i see such a young guy or girl so focused, goal oriented and driven, amazing! I honestly cant relate, it was 30 yrs ago when i was 16, but my friends and i were idiots. This guy probably has a future huh.

Young Mister Caldwell is a cool dude. I like his attitude; smart, warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the equipment he has to offer. I like the guy ... oh and the couch.

I think this kid has a huge future in front of him😊🤟. He seems quite bright & definitely "Wise Beyond His Years"...!🤟❤🎸❤🎶 P.S. Good onya for supporting local too

Making a sneaky appearance in the background at 0:52 . ;-) Awesome store! We're glad to be in Caldwell! Cheers from Denmark.

Smart kid and incredible asset to the music industry. Love his passion and ability to not only finish school, but get entrepreneurial experience in running his own shop and doing gigs in the evenings. This kid is going places! ❤

Love seeing 3rd Power getting some love. Jamie and the team do incredible work.

That was so awesome. Silas seems like a down to earth young man. Also a great player. One of my favorite vids

So good to see someone his age thats so well spoken and is really into what he is doing. I wish him success in his playing and for his business.

that kid has way more going for him at 16 than I have ever had in my life and I'm almost 50.

Awesome little boutique shop, and Silas has got a lot going on for someone his age. Thanks for spotlighting this, I’ll have to check them out when I finally make it to Nashville!

Wow glad to see a great kid gives me faith in the worlds future what direction,brains and talent at sixteen.great show Tyler Thanks from Old Tyler

Thanks for the amazing video.👍 I'll be stopping in at the store to check out their selection.

you guys are so great and this shop is incredible !!!! too bad i'm thousands of miles away !!!!!! Have fun !!!!!! keep going strong !!!!!!!

I like this kid 👌 Very down to earth despite his obvious grand aspirations. Knowledgeable, genuine and hard working. Gotta respect someone like that!

I really enjoyed this , that young guy is well ahead of his years and knows his stuff. thank you so much for posting this , a massive thumbs up all the best for the future , a fan from Liverpool UK

Silas is amazing for 16 years old . Wish I was as savvy, well spoken, insightful and down to earth as this kid is at 16. What on earth happened to me.Yikes. Good luck kid, you have got it going on!!

loved the Ten Years After, omg I played every song off of that album growing up. it's so iconic. Alvin Lee was so bluesy.

Tone nerds (an exceptional compliment, in my opinion) are exactly the type of person one should encounter when purchasing gear. love this.

This guy gets it. We need more stores where the owners are focused on the community vs. all of the shops that are closed and only open to appointments. Nothing is cooler than a guitar store where everyone hangs out on the weekends. My hometown guitar store used to be like that and I'd love nothing more than to see it open again like it was before.

Good Vid Tyler, I will definitely check out Caldwell Guitars next time were in Nashville

Great to see someone, not just learning, but knowing their craft at that age. Cool dude, major props. I’m way across the pond but that’s the kinda place I’d like to spend some time in. My best for the future

What a cool shop and a cool youg guy. Brilliant. Love how you can go in and really chill on the couch. Sweet.

What a gem of a human being you introduced us to today. Thank you.

Great to see Ten Years After getting some love.

genuinely impressed, in such a young age he is living the dream of many

This is delightful! Silas is such a joy to watch and (aesthetically) the store is glorious! I love how they have the pedals on slanted shelves and everything. His knowledge is extensive and his passion is obvious. I can't wait to visit this store one day. Love, from Toronto, Canada.

Silus, Kudos to your parents. They did a good job with you 👍🏼

Man am I glad I found this video. So much awesomeness!

There's something magical about those overtones! I once had the oppertunity to play a Boss CE-1 (yes the big one) and it had these same magical overtones in them. Made every amp sound magical.

That first guitar you played with that setup sounded AMAZING. I was blown away.

Tyler.......This kind of stuff is what makes your flavor the best!!! Now I'll be taking a 4 hour drive to this store and buy something.....if you haven't already bought it first......Cheers!

I got a chuckle from him not knowing about Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. Impressed with where he’s already at in his life.

How?? Wow!! Something in the water in Nashville? obviously awesome parents and what an amazing young man. Livin’ the dream!

Is that Coldplay? I hope the kid was just joking... maybe? At any rate, he is extremely professional and knowledgeable. No doubt we will hear about him even more as he grows his business. Best of luck young man!

#4 on a clean tone was the best of all 10 hands down. What a knowledgeable young man so very cool!

Good for you Silus! Keep it up man.

He buys more guitars in a year than I do buying groceries

What an awesome guy, I'm mostly jealous of how grown he is, nevermind his skill with a guitar. I picture him in 60 years still running the place, just as excited to see someone come in and sit down, regardless of skill level.

Enjoyed this very, very much! So well done. Good luck Caldwell Guitars.

I’m ready to make a road trip to Caldwell guitars. This kid’s vibe is infectious

This young individual is very levelheaded and seems to be doing this for all the right reasons. Let's support shops that think this way, no agendas, no big sales tactics.

Music is win is soooooo underrated he’s amazing

Incredible!! Great job!!

Silas is great! Met him in August and love his store!!!! Ended up buying a few pedals from him!

For 16 years old this guy has got the world at his feet. What I would give to be in his place. He is wise beyond his years.

Great vid Tyler. Made my heart smile to see talent and professionalism in that young man. You have a voice here with this channel. Thanks for sharing Caldwell with the world.

First time I've heard Ten Years After in a 'store jam'. Awesome, Tyler. Just awesome.

Now I have a new place to visit next time I'm in Nashville. Glad to see Silas with his nice shop. As a drummer, I don't know much about guitar but I know what sounds good to me lol

What a great little shop! Good for you young man. His 'rents must be so proud.

Silas is awesome - keep going young man - you have a bright future! Next time I am in Nashville, I will stop by. - No, not Coldplay - 10 Years After - "I'd Love to Change the World" - one of the first songs I learned on guitar - great to jam over.

I really liked this small store journey. It reinforces my thoughts about younger generations not falling for the same old song and dance from guitar companies. They can respect the nostalgic brands, but certainly aren't bound to them in any way. Refreshing to see a youngster with his own ideas of what's cool, and not just falling in line with same worn out gear and styles.

i really apreciate your consideration about this music store, congrats everybody envolved!!!

“Keep pretensions out the store”? What a bloody good business ethic, especially in the music business! Gonna be fun to follow this guy’s progress ...

That chord at 7:49 is in the start of Take On Me by A-Ha, before the first synth melody.

love hearin some ten years after in the demos, hell yea!

This whole video made me smile. Two very righteous dudes geeking out over very righteous things. And what a great message from Silas. Right on brother. Thank you.

That lad is already a legend. Please keep us updated as the shops progress

One of your best videos yet. Learned a lot from Caldwell Guitars, wishing them continued success.

I wish I knew a fraction of what this kid does now let alone at 16. Good on ya, Silas.

So good to see a motivated, intelligent young person. Plays a mean guitar to boot.

Great playing. Really cool Content and that kid Rocks for owning a shop so young. I did my first small tour at 16- props!

Young man, just want to congratulate you on your focus and work I wish you nothing but good luck

Silas has truly one-upped everybody who started bands as teenagers.

What an awesome video. And what a guy. Gives me goose bumps seeing a young man with his head screwed on this well. Wishing him nothing but good vibes.

I definitely need an upgrade.😂 Cool shop and video.

Tyler, you just got a new subscriber to your music system. Being as I’m busy as a three legged cat in hot ashes I don’t have any idea when I will be able to dig into it, but you put it back where it counts man and that’s good enough for me. Huzzah brother!

Silas, keep doing you and don't get anyone knocked up along the way! The sky's the limit for you.

That kid is very well spoken, and knowledgeable for his age. He's going places in the future for sure. The best of luck to his business.

Great job Silas!! Our country needs more young folk, like you! No, they all don't need to open a store, but they do need to follow their dreams, no matter how big or small.
