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.

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.

It reminded me of an interview I watched with EVH and DLR back when they were getting ready for the final tour.

We tuned in to listen to what Ed has to say, not you!" 😅 But it's all good. Great video regardless.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
