Who is the overbearing arrogant guy in the checkered shirt that likes to hear himself talk and comes across as a know it all and technical expert on all topics...This character tends to want to dominate the conversation and be the center of attention. What's his claim to his self proclaimed fame? I thought he was Gruhn's repair shop guy. This guy talks like he knows more about everything music/guitars than George, Vince and Tom and is totally impressed with himself. Very annoying personality and totally opposite of the humble, sincere likeable Vince Gill. If I were George Gruhn, I would reel him in and have a man to man talk with him. With the knowledge, experience, success of Vince Gill, George Gruhn and Tom Bukovac, this arrogant checkered shirt guy totally dominated this conversation and on air time, undermining Vince, George and Tom as the focal point know it all character.
Greg is a great dude. I visited Nashville and walked into Gruhn's wearing a Carter shirt. He took one look, chuckled and gave me a Gruhn's shirt off the shelf.
Really...One just has to watch this video unbiased and listen.. He may be a great individual in many facets but to me, in this video, he came across as a dominating character with "all the answers". @@501chorusecho
“I have several of your bad weekends” is such a hilarious line Vince casually tossed out. Not only is he one of the best ever, guy certainly has jokes 🤣
The part about George being so gracious and inviting is so true. My wife and I visited Nashville last year. We went to Gruhn's . George was at lunch. As we were leaving George pulled up. We asked for a picture with him in front of the building, which he obliged. After the photo I mentioned a 1933 Martin he had advertise on his website. He said you want to see it? Of course I said yes knowing I could never afford such an instrument. He carried us upstairs to his floor of the building. He showed us his snakes. My wife even held and petted his white python. He showed us all the instruments he had in his private area. He played some Bluegrass for us. We spent over an hour with George and his knowledge of things other than guitars was so enjoyable. The highlight of our trip for sure.
Further proof Vince Gill is not only an amazing singer/song writer/player, he an all around really good guy. Great episode, Tom, thanks for doing this stuff!
Seeing this video posted is like waking up on Christmas Morning when I was a kid. Thanks Corey, Greg, Vince, George and Uncle Larry for letting me be a fly on the wall at this party 🙌
Mr. Gruhn is a national treasure. Great that you are recording these heady conversations. Very interesting discussions….thanks for sharing this with us.
Absolutely fantastic conversation gentlemen. Even into my 50's and so much to learn still. I'm in love with the guitar and music in general now more than ever. Thanks for the history lesson George. Great stuff to chew on.🙏
A freakin Eagle is sitting in the group, a living legend, and he hardly gets a word in edgewise... Lol. Gotta love Vince's humility and down-to-Earth'ness. I wish more were like him.
Love Vince. What a good sport and a true gentleman. But wow, what a shame we didn't get to hear much from him. And finally at the end, Tom says, "Guys. Guitar channel." "I gotta piss, let's get to the punchline, Vince whaddaya wanna say?" "I'm good." Hahahaa! Yep, what a gentleman. Yeah, would LOVE it if Tom had a chat with Vince like he did with Dann Huff (that was gold).
It reminded me of an interview I watched with EVH and DLR back when they were getting ready for the final tour. DLR completely took over the conversation, interrupting Ed when he was trying to talk, and I was thinking, "Dude, wake up to some self-awareness. We tuned in to listen to what Ed has to say, not you!" 😅 But it's all good. Great video regardless.
Tom and Vince definitely belong in the back of the class. You guys crack me up. Thanks Uncle Larry for doing this and thanks to the guys for helping you do it!
It’s hard to believe I met most of these folks when I visited the shop about a month ago. Everyone was super friendly, kind, and helpful even with my two toddlers and wife in tow. I’m grateful to be provided this opportunity to listen in on another great conversation at Gruhn’s!
This is a great conversation to be a fly on the wall to witness. It reminds me that conversations between friends is the same no matter who you happen to be. Thanks Tom. Keep shining!
Absolutely fantastic . If you are a guitar lover, this is the stuff your dreams are made of. Thank you Tom for gettin' us inside that wonderful place where time seems to stop. Vince is one of my true heroes and having him in the show is just phenomenal. What a down to earth genuine and funny gentleman he is. The guys workin' at the shop are excellent and then you have the one and only George Gruhn, you can learn more about guitar with him in half an hour than in one month in the University. Thank you Uncle Larry, much much love from West Spain 🙂
Hey, Tom. Of all the things Vince so richly deserves recognition for, being a good man sure seems top of the list. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, wouldn't the world be so much better if we could all follow his example and imitate that. Thanks so much for giving us a peek at your friends and you in your natural habitat.
It great to hear about the old Nashville from George. These CZcams of yours are the best learn cords and history about guitars and good fun THANKS Uncle Larry
This was like being invited to sit at the grown ups table as a kid, only waaay more interesting. I learn so much from these sessions. Thank you for letting us behind the curtain.
Great roundtable discussion!!....I went to Gruhn's for the first time 3 years ago...Spent an hour drooling over every guitar in the store...Met Cory, who is one of the nicest guys ever!!...We ended up realizing we're both from Long Island NY and that we both worked at the same guitar shop there in 1987...He was the guy who replaced me when I quit!!...Again, great video gents!!...
I acquired my first vintage instrument (i only have two, not a collector, player stuff) only a gentlemens deal- like what they were talking about towards the beginning. Meaning i bought this old SG from my buddy for what he paid and agreed that if I were to ever sell itd be offered first to him and at the price he sold it to me. It is the right thing to do and honestly keeps a lot of these instruments playing and in the hands of players imo
I met VG on his tour bus thirty yrs ago, thanks to a buddy of mine who had been a long time acquaintance with vince's tour manager. both were a couple of sweethearts. later on VG played that venue, humphrey's on shelter island san diego, as the sun was setting. gorgeous lil outdoor venue to match the music🌴🌇
I absolutely loved this....the camaraderie and story telling was unsurpassed...would've love soaking up the love between some of these giants ....good stuff...
What a privaledge to be able and get this kinda insight on the good stuff. I hear ya loud and clear and Vince also said it. Doesnt matter if its a guitar that doesnt play good. Ive noticed good guitars will have a sweet spot. Thanks Tom for taking the time for including us. Love ya buddy
Randy Wood owns a small music store and repair shop Luthier shop in Savannah Georgia where I live. I made a guitar in high school but I did not quite finish it before I graduated so Randi let me use his shop to complete it. He still works on all of my guitars, he’s a great guy. He also has a small auditorium called the picking parlor where different Bluegrass and country bands come to play. Randi makes a damn fine guitar as well.
Really enjoyable to listen to people who have lived and breathed guitars their entire lives have a discussion sharing their knowledge, opinions, and experiences .
Uncle Larry, thank you so much for doing this!! It was a couple minutes before I recognized Vince!! It's been a minute, or his beard changed color or something. LOL But I just can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! One person was a little over bearing, but that's human nature, that's just the way it is. George is so precious, people sometimes don't get it. I had an Aunt that passed away in 1998. She was born in 1899, and was 99 years old. She lived in an assisted living place, and had gotten appendicitis. They could do a simple surgery and she would have been fine, she just said it was time to go. I stopped every day for 4 months and talked with her. I learned a wealth of things from family to world events she had experienced first hand! She flew in a Ford TriMotor in the early 30's and a Boeing 737-200 in the 70's!! She lived through 2 world wars, Korea and Vietnam! About 3-4 hours a day we talked till she was too tired. Then I got there one day and the bed was empty. That's why I love to hear George talk about things. I'm a Vince Gill fan too, but as a player. I love his road stories, and everything that happened in his past. People don't do enough of that anymore, just sit around and have conversation. This was special, so are you! Thanks so much!! --gary
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this series at Gruhn’s. I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy watching you guys shoot the shit I could watch these all day. I love how passionate Mr Gruhn is about the instrument. Thank you for doing these !!!
I only ever went to the old store downtown back in the late 90s, would love to visit the new place. Really enjoy listening to Vince (and George!), great roomful of folks! 🙏
I played guitars in Gruhn’s twice. On acoustic guitars that are beyond description. The second you pick it up you sense that it’s shockingly lighter than you expected. The next is that the neck welcomes the crook of your hand. Then the fingerboard feel. It’s perfect and you realize you never knew before what perfect even was. It does not have a metal rod through the neck. You play it and you can feel the music vibrations through every part of the guitar that touches your body. It is a Zen experience. And you get to listen to other players, noodling. And they are all incredible. I’ve always wished that in another life will wind up in Nashville in the 1960s 1970s.
I was in a bar on the Gulf of Mexico, in a fishing town nobody goes, some folks from Tennessee called it 'Nashvegas.' I spent some time in George's old shop, bought a Fender Bassman there, still sounds good, thanks George.
Again another great segment that no doubt will be cherished for years to come. I also love your facial expressions every time someone cell phone went off. I will put money on it that you have everyone put their phones in a bucket and leave them outside the room next time Lol.
Vince Gill .. my hero. A long time ago I had to cover all his guitar stuff and sing high harmony in our 70's Pure Prairie League cover band. Got to get to Gruhn's some day. When Stan Jay was still alive I used to regularly stop in to Mandolin Bros every time that I needed to call on DiMarzio to sell them with connectors and patch cables. I loved Mandolin Bros, too bad it's gone now. Got to play a lot of "I'll never be able to afford that" guitars there.
2 of my all time favorite guitar players, then add in the great George Gruhn and Greg voros, it doesn't get any better than this....Awesome, thanks Tom
Someone had texted George some detailed photos of a banjo. Joe Spann needed to see them and they came through just as the show was starting. George asked me to run them down the hall and show Joe. That's why I was holding his phone. I turned it off when it kept on ringing.
My Christmas is complete….what a gift to “be in the room” listening with these men’s who are so generous to share their knowledge and passions for guitar…..thanks Larry and all.
good stuff...my gruhns adventure as a canadian...made the pilgrimage in 2014 ish and loved it. Wanted an old firebird but couldnt afford it. My ladyfriend pissed off the salesman by asking if Gruhns had a bargain bin... Found a national baritone roundneck in the back for 2500 that was wonderful!...got it home and googled it and got no results!!! nothing in the entire planet matched what I had. Contacted National and they told me I had a prototype for a tricone from 2001 that was a one off from the back of the factory when they were working up powder coated tricones. Became my little gift from heaven.
Fender Solid State Amps story. HUNDREDS of warranty debacle amps were "repaired" and sold for LITERALLY pennies on the dollar - mainly to three or four Southern California Music Stores. I know because my store bought over 100 of them. Twin Reverbs, Scorpios. Deluxes, etc...etc... the amps really sucked but all the cabinets were typical Fender glued tongue and groove, etc...We paid pennies PER POUND for the things. There was also talk about some corruption in that the Fender employees in charge were rumored to have dropped the price even lower in the toilet in exchange for a few hunsky's on the side in their pockets. The UN REPAIRED ones were even cheaper. I asked my Boss why he bought so many and he said "Kid I'm getting cabinets with multiple Eminence 10's or 12's and I'm paying less for the entire amp that the cost of one or two raw speakers".
My bass player showed up for practice one night and out of the blue ask, “What do you call a Mexican proctologist? … An Aztec”. Thanks for another good one.
This was cool. Fun seeing you all have a good time. Thanks! Vince seems like such a cool guy, a real down to earth person. I don't care about meeting famous people but he definitely is one person I wish I could meet. Always been a big fan!
@@501chorusecho- This is absolutely, 100% as sincere as sincere gets…there is no other musician on this planet that I would like to meet (in person) more than you. I would want nothing from you - zero. I’d like to meet you to just to look you in the eye, and try my best to communicate how much I appreciate what you’ve given me through all your videos. I don’t need you to recognize me, should we ever meet a second time. I don’t need you to remember my name, I don’t want anything from you. I just like the idea of you walking away from that encounter and pausing to really realize (and appreciate) the profound impact you’re having out here. Pick any video…read almost any of the comments…they’re all kinda communicating the same thing I am here - I’d just like to tell you mine, eye to eye.
Guys like George are priceless. For me, if it feels good, sounds good and priced fairly …that’s enough for me. You guys can get into the weeds as much as you like.
Thank you for letting me be a fly on the wall for this round table chat. This was the best hour I have spent in a very long time. The knowledge a humor of these folks is a joy. I hope you do more of these.
Many thanks, Uncle Larry. I feel like I’ve been sat at a table with the coolest bunch of Uncles ever. Watching you and Vince cracking each other up was truly heart warming. Thanks again ✌️

i think he’s pretty cool

That was genuinely funny.
New rules phone ringers off after 4 times pls
Vince seems like a genuinely solid dude, and hell of a player too
I'll second that, and great jokes to boot!
The world needs more Vince Gills.
That's a fact!
Vince is just.. wonderful. So real, genuine and emotionally and mentally in touch with a wide variety of people. Vince is Vince.

I love watching Tom’s face as George goes off on his tangents. Pure gold.
It’s done with love though . He seems like a wise man.
Absolutely. I love listening to George talk. Always a wealth of knowledge.
agree! and you sure as hell can tell that ol' Tom just LOVES to push George's buttons! LOL
Further proof Vince Gill is not only an amazing singer/song writer/player, he an all around really good guy.
Great episode, Tom, thanks for doing this stuff!
Seeing this video posted is like waking up on Christmas Morning when I was a kid. Thanks Corey, Greg, Vince, George and Uncle Larry for letting me be a fly on the wall at this party 🙌
Totally agree
Exactly what I think. Truly an extraordinary gift for guitar lovers.
Amen to that!

George….bless his heart. He can’t help it. 🤣
Vince Gills is the Gentleman of Gentlemen. Integrity and honesty is a rare thing in this crazy world. Thank’s for this. You are both rare…

The hits keep happening! Thanks Tommy! (Vince, we ALL built our musical life around the six beers theory!)
Thinking to start a bad named “6 Beers Good”

Always thought the world of VINCE but now I have way more respect for the man!!! He is an absolute giant in the biz and a really authentic guy!!!

Thank you for giving us all a seat at this table Tom. Truly educational and special.

So what is your point? What are you trying to say?
I come here and say to myself I'm not going to say anything but the content on this channel is so great I can't help myself.
I cracked his code first time around

Great Job Tom bringing the Team Together for a great Conference at the Hall of Gruhns Guitars 🎸 👍🏻🆒
This was so funny! Thank you guys! ❤️
5.30 am and I'm sitting in my car at a flea market in a park on the other side of the world. Never take things for granted, be grateful.

This is gold! George with the tangents and Vince with the one liners lol
Watching this, I feel like a fly on the wall in a room full of giants. Thank you for sharing Tom!
I could listen to George forever, even when I don’t agree I’m learning something.
Love how the “security” guy’s phone ☎️ keeps ringing full volume! 😂 Great intro, Uncle Larry! 😂
When trouble comes calling... and it keeps calling... and you don't turn off the ringer...
It was George's phone being held by "security guy" (me) "Security Guy's" phone was on vibrate

Deluxes, etc...etc... the amps really sucked but all the cabinets were typical Fender glued tongue and groove, etc...We paid pennies PER POUND for the things. There was also talk about some corruption in that the Fender employees in charge were rumored to have dropped the price even lower in the toilet in exchange for a few hunsky's on the side in their pockets. The UN REPAIRED ones were even cheaper. I asked my Boss why he bought so many and he said "Kid I'm getting cabinets with multiple Eminence 10's or 12's and I'm paying less for the entire amp that the cost of one or two raw speakers".
Man, I really enjoyed this interview. Thanks so much for your show!
Just amazing!!! What a wealth of knowledge! WOW! THANK YOU TOMMY
Great fun. Good on Vince for being on this. Thanks Tom
Hey Tom, as a humble request, I am sure your audience would love to hear Mr Gruhn speak to you about the now mythic Michael Bloomfield.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. As a long time guitar player, it answered questions to quite a bit of topics I've thought about in the past.
I love class field trips.
Great video, especially the last few minutes... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My bass player showed up for practice one night and out of the blue ask, “What do you call a Mexican proctologist? … An Aztec”. Thanks for another good one.
These videos will go down as documented historical content, thx Buk
That was so much fun, thanks for inviting us!
Great episode. New Homeschoolin rule: phones on vibrate!
Killer roundtable!! Thanks fer turnin' on the camera, Unk!!
I really enjoyed this Tom, I felt like I was there sitting listening to great gentleman!!
This is pure gold!!✌️
Thanks, Little Tommy. I really enjoy these!
This was cool. Fun seeing you all have a good time. Thanks! Vince seems like such a cool guy, a real down to earth person. I don't care about meeting famous people but he definitely is one person I wish I could meet. Always been a big fan!
he's a lovely lad
@@501chorusecho- This is absolutely, 100% as sincere as sincere gets…there is no other musician on this planet that I would like to meet (in person) more than you. I would want nothing from you - zero. I’d like to meet you to just to look you in the eye, and try my best to communicate how much I appreciate what you’ve given me through all your videos. I don’t need you to recognize me, should we ever meet a second time. I don’t need you to remember my name, I don’t want anything from you.
I just like the idea of you walking away from that encounter and pausing to really realize (and appreciate) the profound impact you’re having out here. Pick any video…read almost any of the comments…they’re all kinda communicating the same thing I am here - I’d just like to tell you mine, eye to eye.
George, reminds me of my Grandfather. He had so many stories, and he made sure you heard them.
Guys like George are priceless. For me, if it feels good, sounds good and priced fairly …that’s enough for me. You guys can get into the weeds as much as you like.
Thank you for letting me be a fly on the wall for this round table chat. This was the best hour I have spent in a very long time. The knowledge a humor of these folks is a joy. I hope you do more of these.
Many thanks, Uncle Larry. I feel like I’ve been sat at a table with the coolest bunch of Uncles ever. Watching you and Vince cracking each other up was truly heart warming. Thanks again ✌️
Grab your umbrellas for this one. The boys rain down some knowledge👍. Appreciate it Unc!!
George Gruhn is so understated and quite a heavy thinker. Great guy!
