RIP Spencer Bohren. Even from this short video it is clear that Spencer was a kind gentleman. 🎸✨

RIP Spencer Bohren. I just discovered him in this video and I'm heartbroken to know that he's gone.

You can tell these dudes are old friends who both love guitars. I like it!

That dowel maker, 10/10.

Really enjoyed the song at the end

"Come off the road and work for a while..." Love it!

Old School, love Stewmac, keeping the traditions alive...

I like this guy's workmanship. He's the real deal - no shortcuts or hack jobs - the right tools and the knowledge of a fine woodworker - he's a warehouse of information with respect to guitars and associated woods.

What an outstanding video! All the great tech tips we expect from Dan, and Spencer Bohren has been one of my heroes for years. He's a master storyteller and singer/educator. Loved this!

I could listen to Spencer play the blues all night long! Dan your roladex never ceases to amaze me.

that song... was awesome! Spencer Bohren Im glad i heard ya.

Thanks so much Dan for sharing your knowledge. Also thanks to StewMac for being smart enough to have you as a spokesman....Spencer ty for lesson.

This is so great! All these years, I've had a patent-pending StewMac dowel maker and didn't even know it. My dad taught me the toothpick trick when I was a kid and I just never gave it a second thought--filling holes with toothpicks, then touching up with paint to match the wood color, faking any grain that might show now seems so crude and amateurish compared to making your own dowel of the correct size and wood. Thank you so very much!

That was a great fix. Loved the Canned Heat Blues !!! Smooth

Could listen to these two for days!

This was the height of my day. Longtime Dan and Spencer fan.

Quick Google search and ive discovered spencer bohren passed earlier this year, 2 days after my birthday. I didnt know the man or know of his work. But i give a thousand thank yous for this rendition of a blues classic. May this man rest in peace

Thanks! Very enjoyable. I find it interesting that your camera man (and editor) does a better job than quite a few guitar teachers do on their videos. A big THANK YOU to your crew!

What a nice and fine clip was that! I loved the bonus. Already trying to play it! Thanks!

That was a cool G shape for blues. Stealing that. Thank you Spencer Bohren.

Spencer is an outstanding player and singer. That version of Canned Heat Blues and that Gibby sound wonderful.

So glad I watched video,it bout brought me to tears.So much honesty in that performance...

I love how that guitar sounds!

Spenser Bohren is awesome. I met him years ago at Terminal Studios in Jackson. Great work on this.

lol... love these two together, excellent video. Of course they all are.

1000 points to you just for being the most polite and chilled person on KZfaq.. maybe the internet!😊😊😊🎸🎸🎸

What a great couple of guys! Thanks so much for the video - Informative and entertaining, too!

absolutely beautiful. thank you.Spencer and Dan. Outstanding teaching. thank you.

This was so very interesting on how to fill holes. I had no idea how that was accomplished. Great guitar lesson too!!

Great video I love Mr Bohren he is a great musician and I love his slide playing as well as his great voice. Nice job fixing old rotten tuners

Man, those are beautiful tuners!

This song is almost 100 years old and it is Awesome! Thank you!

That was a brilliant lesson in how sometimes less is so much more! He is worthy of that instrument. Great video Dan!

Great repair but that blues was something else. Simple but not easy. Love it. Thanks you two.

Nice, 2 lessons for the price of 1. Thanks Spencer and Dan.

Absolutely can't beat these Dan Erlewine vids.

What a gorgeous sounding guitar

That tune was AWESOME! Great singer and player

Dan you always do such fine work..That old Gibson sure sounds nice, and stays in tune...Really like that old song. Reminds me of Ry Cooter...

That song and instructor was awesome! Great musician Mr. Spencer’s, I wish I was in your class. And Not to forget my man Stewart Mac. I live for this channel. Love guitars and music. Maybe one day can visit Mr Mac

love that lesson and song! great video

Great tip. Great lesson. I love the blues.

I screwed up drilling a new pilot hole for a set of tuners and I'm so happy I found this video

An Awesome video. This is the best of the best. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing them.

Wow...Thanks to both of you!

Wow nice trick and lesson! I just got a bass to repair, the pickgard was broken so I bought a new one and some of the screwholes where not in place, this video just came at the perfect moment to fix ir properly, thank you!!! :)

Wonderful video. Some repair skills and a nice lesson! thanks so much

Very nice song, well played! 👍

Beautiful tuners.

I love that he mentioned Tommy Johnson, and played one of his songs! Tommy Johnson was from my home county, the next town over from me! He was from Copiah County, in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. And there's a Blues Trail marker for him in my hometown of Crystal Springs (which is 10 minutes north of Hazlehurst). Another great blues legend from Copiah County, is Robert Johnson. He was from my hometown of Crystal Springs! 😊 Robert's son, Claude Johnson, opened a small museum in Crystal Springs called the Robert Johnson Blues Museum, taken care of by the Robert Johnson Blues Foundation (which I believe Claude is the founder of). It has some of Robert's guitars, record albums, and paintings and pictures of Robert. Our town is very proud of this! :) And I got to meet Claude once, shortly after the museum first opened. He was really nice! If you ever get a chance to visit Crystal Springs and Hazlehurst, Mississippi, if only for visiting the museum in Crystal Springs, and the music museum in Hazlehurst, do yourself a favor and do it! You'll enjoy it! And don't leave Crystal Springs without getting a homegrown Crystal Springs tomato! Our town proudly holds the title of "The Tomato Capital of the World"! We have the best tasting tomatoes anywhere! Look our town up on Google. And a visit here isn't complete without a stop by Wilson's Meat House for some great fresh sausage, and a yummy ice cream cone from the Dairy Freeze (a small ice cream stand that has been around since the 1950's)! Yes, I'm proud of my hometown and county! There's a TON of history here, with some historical people from here! 😊

Great segment!!!! And a bonus song. I'm a metal player but I like this guy.

thanks Dan, you and Frank are a great inspiration and great information... thanks again...

Fun to watch Dan teach. Sure, he loves working on instruments, but maybe loves to teach as much; sharing the knowledge.

Beautiful song!

Thanks. Maybe this is the winning formula: guitar repair + guitar master class.

some great tips, i learned about acetone's cool abilities when i was a very young scale modeler, to create details and fill imperfections

Bravo! Loved that song👍

first thing he does is tune it down to drop D haha

I’d never heard of Spencer Bohren till I saw this vid. I liked the way he explained...just as I like how Dan explains everything so meticulously and simple he can make piloting the Space Shuttle seem easy. I’m sorry to hear of Spencer’s passing. I only wish I’d known about him way before. It’s time to start googling. Two real, old-time gentlemen. Don’t get much of that lately. Anywhere.

I like these old guys so much :)

YEAH, AND I GOT TO LEARN CANNED HEAT? FREAKIN AWESOME. THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING.

Wow! I saw Spencer once in maybe 1986 in Ft. Lauderdale. He was driving across country in an old convertible, with his gear. He called the act, "Disappearing Nightly".

Great blues tuneage!

I absolutely love your channel ! You are the best of the best ✌

Lovely video! Those tuners look perfect on that guitar 🙂

Terrific stuff.

I love these videos he is a proper master of his craft… gold is old 😂

What a great video. Thanks.

You guys are the best!

Fantastic I have a new one I may get those tuners for it

great video! I've been to Fur Peace a few times.....awesome place!

Nice added bonus to video

Those are the exact tuners going on my SM dreadnought kit...classic beauties!

The most Bohren video I have seen... ...Thanks! :-)

Two friends having fun !! Busting Chops and Fixin Guitars! 🎵🎶🎵

Great video!

Spencer got that old school humor. Sweet man he is.

Did anyone else think the thumbnail implied using a pencil on the nut?

Thanks bro awesome video ❤️

Really enjoyed this video, thanks

Awesome!!! This explanation with a pencil sharpener or dull maker? helps me out fixing the issue to retrofit new tuners. Superb working. I like this fine craftsmanship so damn much. 🙏 🙏 🎸 Stuart Mc Donald you are the real man for the job. I subscribed immediately.

That was beautiful x

I always enjoy the vids and tips. So those are 16:1 gear ratio tuners, replacing what are probably 14:1. Personally I've replaced all my old tuners with 18:1 ratio tuners because I really believe the higher ratio helps slippage more than anything. I'm a little surprised gear ratio isn't covered more in the video. I did hear "finer ratio" - but no specifics. But hey, that's just me and what works for me. Thanks again.

Been learning stuff from Dan since before the Internet and youtoob

Excellent.

Wonderful!

Cool stuff!

I am glad I paid a visit.

Wow! He has a great and original sounding voice; plus he can actually play! So many times, when someone in a video goes to play and sing after fixing or talking about something, he or she is bad. He has a great voice and guitar chops! Sorry to write a paragraph about it, it's just that I am rarely surprised when I see someone sing in a video (even studio cuts). I would love to attend one of his classes Also, funny, the open to that song is def where Berry stole "Maybelline!" Actually makes sense, as it was a popular Forties tune and def would have been in the air around the time that Berry was working to find his chops and style.

RIP. Amazing musician.

Two professionals.... most excellent

Nice box! Thank you

I just applied for a repair tech job at the local GC. Hoping they'll call this week. I was the first person to apply, I believe.

BRILLIANT !

THIS is how you do sell in the Information Age... good job StewMac Marketing Department!

I put Waverly’s on my old D18, awesome tuning stability, and they weigh half as much as the old factory tuners! They are worth the money!

Awesome musician, RIP Spencer.

Waverly tuners are simply the best. Worth every penny. Thanks for the great videos.

Great lesson. I have a Martin GPCPA4 that I put a small dent in side by strap peg. Happened 1st week I had it and bumped into something in studio. Can you do lesson on how to fix a blemish like this. Thanks.

A Gibson with tuning problems? Get outta town!
