Country Guitar Tech Watches Stevie T's "How To Be Country" Video

[@SteveTerreberry]

Country music is where the money is at, because that's what everyone listens to.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

@@joshuawiedenbeck6944 it is because unlike rock and metal country fans still listen to radio. Radio and the country music corporation. In Nash Vegas have historically been very cozy, and still are to this day. Country fans will listen to anything on country radio. Country artists also are more accessible to country fans than most rock stars and bigger bands. Rock stars still maintain an almost other worldly image and keep an almost inaccessible aura.

The "Hello I'm Stevie T. Some of you may know me..." right at beginning killed me. I'm not the biggest Stevie T fan, but the man's spot on. My ex LOVED country, and I had to hear it atll the time. That country song he wrote sounds like everything I ever heard. He hit EVERY key aspect of a country song, and not just lyrically. The style of the lead, the vocal harmony in that one line of the chorus, the rhythmical flow in the vocals. And lyrically, he did that thing where country HAS to reference itself, nonstop. I mean the list goes on. As far as your point about country artists shredding, that same ex dragged me to a country fest to see Brad Paisley (and others), and boy can Brad friggin play the guitar. I was very impressed, he put some of my favorite metal guitarists to shame with that performance. And I don't even like country!

Props on roadie work bro... People just don't know how hard you, "they" work to put on the show that we normal folks love so much. Thank you!

I have lived 20 minutes from Branson Missouri my entire life. Listening to mostly metal in my youth I felt very out of place.... There are alot of posers. They all have their shtick. I have followed Stevie for some time, I like his smart ass attitude, that's pretty much why I'm here. I can appreciate quality musicianship, like you say some of the guitar players are awesome, but they are stuck playing top ten country junk.

I used to live in Springfield, MO several years ago and it was sad how a lot of the bands that played in Springfield sounded the same. It's like Springfield had its own sound. I'm curious if it's still the same way

[@andygreen5565]

Great video. As someone from Alabama, I appreciate that “y’all” at the end.

[@mawe8601]

Stevie is insanely talented. Or was it insanely mad? I'm not sure, however, insanity is definitely involved.

[@JMurdochNZ]

It's both.

[@KennelGuyTries]

I found this channel by accident. I really like how real this guy is.

[@themplar]

Stevie T is just awesome. Insanely talented in most stuff he does. he was once asked to go on tour with Dragonforce not sure what instrument i thought there was a joke him doing a triangle. Sadly back then he had alot of axiety, but he would rock on guitars with that band.

[@bertieblack5639]

It was actually the touring bass player role they offered him! But yes, everything else 100% spot on. Such a shame, Stevie strikes me as the goofiest and friendliest lad, if anyone deserved the chance it was him 😔

[@gargaj]

I always found that highly ironic that someone who spends his life screaming on KZbin suddenly gets crippling anxiety once they have to put up or shut up on stage.

[@vidrax_de]

@@gargaj Performing solo in front of a camera in your own home is completely different from performing on a stage in front of hundreds or even thousands of people.

[@gargaj]

@@vidrax_de Yes, that's my point: everybody gangsta until you're in tomato range.

[@Rluce75]

As a fan of Stevie you earned my subscribe. I was also shocked how good his song was lmao

[@rychenn2152]

I dunno man some old country artist most definitely had some pretty sick solos. Also, Brad Paisley is a phenomenal guitarist.

[@TankTheTech]

Key word is „old“. Hahaha. And yeah, I’ve toured with Brad a couple times and the guy is so damn good.

[@whowhat1158]

That's actually pretty cool that you have worked at the Calgary Stampede. I hope you had a great time in our little city.

[@TankTheTech]

I LOVE Calgary. I’ve done shows at the Saddledome more times than I can count as well.

[@skepticalbystander]

I really want to see pretty much my favorite country artist Brad Paisley for that reason about going off shredding. As a guitarist, I know about Brad' talent, and I'd love to catch a show where he noodles a ton through the set! My fave used to be Brooks & Dunn, but as a guitarist, I likes me some Brad. I have and love his signature Wampler pedal, and yes, I use it for my heavy metal purposes ;)

[@Musicwithfinn]

I saw paisley right after he released is “mostly” instrumental album called Play, it was some of the most incredible playing Ive ever seen live

[@TankTheTech]

I've done 3 Brad Paisley tours while working for bands that were opening, and can confirm the guy shreds like crazy life. Also noodles for about 2 hours after soundcheck every day, as well.
