Do you still build guitars today?

Yep, Im building acousitc guitars in Albuquerque NM. @@brockallenmusic

I know this comment is 11 years old but this is my first time seeing the video and I wanna say- I completely agree 👀

He didn’t explain the individual string notes so it doesn’t help much

"Knock Knock You're A Dick"

Saw that. "Knock, knock...You're a dick"

I'm guessing that neck doesn't feel quite the same.

mro2112 I wonder why no one talks about it I googled Dave Matthews crate powerblock and no results!!!

kmlconsolidated wondering the same

A Proc He hasn't used it since '99 although I'd like to see him back with it too

Yes. They didn't show this in the video, but Dave actually has 3 "mandolins". Some of the songs he plays with them are Baby Blue, Whiter Shade of Pale (cover), Squirm, The Idea of You, and Shotgun.

Idea of you

This is exactly why she quit premier guitar, you perverts making these jokes

Know local guitar players and let them know you'll do tech jobs or let venues know in case someone asks for one... Go to smaller national tours, Faster Pussycat came by and I talked to their tech at the bar for awhile, I'm sure if I thought about it I would have asked how he got the job as tech/merch guy for Pussycat

Gotta get a foot in the door somehow . Thanks for the advise Chad !

Also teching is more than changing strings, while that's most of it, it's changing strings and then set up the guitar at each venue for it (and have fun if it's a guy like me who plays Floyd with multiple tunings and backups for each) and being able to on the fly resolder connections in a guitar/amp/pedal, glue broken Gibson headstocks, etc haha Ya put an ad out on your local classifieds website or Criagslist and go to shows! Talk to the guitarist/s as they're breaking down/setting up. Most local shows won't need that kind of work but who knows which will eventually be doing out of state shows and need a little help with guitars and merch or bass and merch or whatever. Unless you get a job in a big band you're gonna be doing a lot of side jobs to save them money

+Jay Rogers know the band, i.e. be a friend of the band.

What don't you get? He uses lower string gauges. It's like having a capo on 7.

i don't like it, it's so boring when these random fuckboys do the gear instead of the real guitarist

Jay takin over the camera roll, once becky took it over while Chris Kies interviewed Joshua Evans

She always looks cute. I always enjoy the undersized t-shirts too

Gabriel Muniz yep she is darling

yeah its a cover

B Standard but instead of low B, it's high

in Hershey?

Non-stop touring and long hours will do it!

+TheEyedeaOfYou he looks nervous to me. He is well informed. Most techs are like yeah uh yeah uh yeah. He also apologizes at the end for being tired and wanting a break.

i agree it is disapointing because it's just a random fuckboy doing the gear not the real dave matthews

Don't be a dick! Not everyone is used to being in the spotlight on a world stage. Obviously he's doing something right. Show some respect.

well said!

Either this is a joke, or you don’t understand the premise of a guitar tech

Who says "score"? Hey Richey Cunningham, where are Potsey and Ralph Mouth? You know her family is probably seeing these videos and comments? It's easy to criticize, but much harder to empathize. I see a lot of your trolling bullshit on here and apparently you think you're the expert's expert! This is exactly why you got beat up and had no friends in high school. Try some positivity for the moment and when we get to the part about the whining and annoying know it all, we'll ask for you to join in. Until then shut your pie hole! BTW nice scarf Kook!

well the 117,000 people who bothered to watch the video seem to care
