It's a weird thing isn't it? You thank us, but I also feel like thanks should be offered to you as well, man. You are in a ton of households, and we build a sort of bond with you through your channel. You get us through some of our own tough times, too. Without ever meeting most of us, we call you friend, because we love who you present to be and what you do... right in our homes. You and I have so many near misses, my best friend has played with a good friend of yours (20 Watt Tombstone and Tyler Bryant). I talk a lot about you, your music, and your videos with MY friends that are musicians... kind of a virtual family thing going on. Anyway, dude, just thank YOU for taking us along on the rides you take, thank you for all the tunes you've shared... Hell, who knows, one day maybe our paths will cross (maybe I book you and your band for a show one day) Happy New Year Rhett... you are loved and appreciated from afar dude.

[@RhettShull]

@@shanetappthanks so much man! I really appreciate the kind words.

[@maxwellblakely7952]

Happy New Year dude! I think that the Live to Tape will be great. I’ve actually been tossing around the idea of creating an all analog recording studio for awhile. That Tascam 388 is a nice piece, Yamaha made some great stuff from that same era as well. Cheers!🎉

[@William_Bryant]

Can we please get a full version of your "Brown Sugar" from your P.A.F. Sound video? I've never heard a version of that song that goes as hard as yours.

[@dylanadamsguitar]

Woohoo!!! So grateful to have been a part of this and to kick off the new year with you and the guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️

[@VeniceKing1]

You the man!

[@drayve8590]

Dylan, you are incredible!!

[@jerryhorton5708]

Just the little clips shown here are stupendous. Well done, Dylan. Rhett, and the rhythm section. (Wish I knew their names because they are killer)

[@robertsimpson5801]

Please tell me you have a program for learning slide guitar! 😅

[@dylanadamsguitar]

@@robertsimpson5801 I have several slide tutorials on my youtube channel, and am planning on making a full course in 2024!

[@RyanPlace-hx5oe]

Rhett -- 6 years is a really long time to lock in on any project creatively. Glad to see you're pushing through new boundaries for yourself. Inspiring.

[@AndrewMasters]

Grateful for you homie

[@RhettShull]

You too man!

[@peteglase]

Many people don't realize how much work goes into making these videos. What we don't see is hours of editing tedium, re-shoots, flubs...etc. We appreciate your hard work Rhett. Burnout is a real thing. Keep up the great work. -Pete

[@jefffixesit60]

Thanks for doing what you do, I've learned so much from watching you, Rick Beato, Tim Pierce, and so many others. I'm an old beginner at 68, but I'm playing at a level I wouldn't have believed possible just a year ago. Do things that make you happy, I'll be doing the same. Looking forward to seeing what you create this year, hoping happy and new are always part of your life!😊

[@TheCjbowman]

Good for you, brother! Real music, real analog, real performances. You'll capture more magic and the elusive "it" factor this way. Look forward to it! 💕☀️

[@dbullcutter]

03:04 GREAT STATEMENT! Thank you! I wish you a lot of fun and success in this year, that just began.

[@scottshand8559]

Man! How exciting this is to me and I'm sure so many others too! Your videos are right up there in what helps me to learn, explore my playing and to gain so much knowledge about music, thank you, thank you and thank you Rhett.

[@RJRonquillo]

Excited for this!

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Bro I am so damn excited for this. Nothing was as good as seeing you guys live in the makeshift studio making kick-ass music together. You just feel the vibe in that room. This is how much of the music we all love was made, with a band playing together in a room. Really looking forward to everything you guys do.

[@harshtruth9148]

Pat yourself on the back Rhett....ive noticed over the years of following your channel as a metal guitarist I still enjoy your channel very much. Pat yourself brother, not just your music skills but your production skills with your videos is second to none....if its you who produces and edits these with the music you choose, scenery, everything is pin point perfection. I enjoy watching your videos, not just listening to them. Happy New Year man.

Happy new year, people. Good energies and music for everyone.

[@tone1798]

Rhett, your passion and drive took you to this place of burn out. Yet, this passion of yours has taught us, inspired us and drives us to want to play better and learn more. Thank you!

[@philipconradmusic]

Well said brother. Proud to be a part of this journey. Well done! ⚡️

[@paulya1269]

Rhett, really looking forward to this new series. Your videos are always interesting and authentic, and not just based on subjects/content that tries to yank in more subscribers/views.

[@djb3545]

Love that! “Start where you are” true with everything.

[@brianmurdock7428]

Mental health is very important. You can’t do it all. Sometimes you have to put something down and walk away or replace with another project. Take breaks for your health!

[@scottreynolds6317]

Look forward to seeing the new episodes!!!!

[@beyondinfinity3876]

Eagerly waiting!🙏🙏

[@thegolfingmusician6345]

GEEEEZZZ that PRS tele that Dylan is playing is just jaw droppingly gorgeous. What a great collaboration. Can’t wait to hear it.

[@davedeville6540]

No. Just no

[@ehi3398]

Wow, Rhett! This is confirmation for me, I've been wanting to start writing my own music and just recently said 2024 is the year. You just confirmed that. Thanks!!!

[@rsr_brian]

Love the gratitude and vulnerability, man. Take good care of yourself and very much looking forward to this new series!

[@jeromeblanchet685]

Start from where you are Is the best advice I have heard in a while, thank you for that I needed to hear it! Happy 2024 from France!

[@joshuabenton3785]

I really really hope this idea takes off. One of the things I have dislike most about social media is the ability to polish something with such a luster that just cannot be achieved in real life, hoping that something really cool happens because of this!

[@christopherdaniel8230]

I love this idea, can’t wait to watch, listen and learn

[@murphygraham4724]

Thank you, Rhett. We’re enjoying being part of your journey.

[@UnitedEffect]

"Live To Tape" is, in my opinion the best idea you've had for a series of videos. Recording a band live in the studio is an honest representation of where the players are at. I usually prefer the results over a multi-tracked recording where players have taken several tries or comped together a part from several different takes. So many of my favourite recordings have been recorded live in the studio. The communication between the musicians can't be beat! Looking forward to your "Live To Tape" series!!! Happy New Year

[@AdamSwogger]

Right on! Start were you are!

[@dezwujie]

So great to hear that you are prioritizing yourself. I've asked myself, how do you do it, making content week in and week out. It's got to be a lot. Looking forward to seeing what you do this year with this new perspective. No matter what you choose to do in sure it will be fire.

[@d3w4yn3]

You scared me for a minute, didn't know where this was going. Very glad to see this, revisiting your real love of just playing! GLORIOUS!!!

[@publickx7611]

awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉love the live to tape and live vibe - perfect inperfection

[@pawlowski6132]

Great message. Nice to see humility.

[@jemcnair76]

You are correct. I've been putting off driving my 1973 Beetle very much because some things aren't perfect. Of course it will never be perfect, and it will only be "right" for a few days until something else happens. One constant with old cars is there is ALWAYS something else. Thank you! G-d Bless.

[@activese]

Thank you very much, for your kind words and wishes, as well for you trust and work. Take care. Cheers

[@bubblytar]

I really needed to hear this message, Rhett. Very excited to see what you do in 2024

[@brians5791]

Spot on, Rhett. You’re absolutely correct. Thank you. Great things to come in 24!

[@madsenamplification]

Excited for this series!

[@JacobH93]

Start where you are is great advice to live by! If you wait until it’s perfect you will miss your moment, or worse never start. No matter what you do, most of it is probably best learned along the way anyways.

[@dalejones4322]

Wow man, this will renew my interest in your channel. I'd hoped you would get to this point eventually. You introduced me to Dylan and I've followed his channel since. The more you can bring him on the better. I absolutely love just listening to him jam. Thanks for doing this buddy.

[@markpell8979]

Live-to-tape. The way we all used to do it when us Boomers were the younger generation. I'm old now but still have a Tascam 4-track I mess with once in a while just to hear what I sound like to others ("dude, that sucks") or to play back later for ideas about possible songs or sounds or just improving my techniques. And of course, old gear is just cool and fun. Side note for trivia and nostalgia buffs: bitd Eddie reportedly created some of his best solos and riffs just noodling or warming up in the studio and when the engineer or a bandmate would say "that was cool, do that again," Eddie would say "do what?" because it was literally just something he'd pulled out of his ass in the moment (his words) and he didn't remember how it went because it was total in-the-flow improv. So the engineer learned to always have tape rolling whenever the band was in the studio, even when they weren't tracking yet. According to Eddie, some of their best stuff originated that way.

[@matthewf1979]

Dylan Adam’s is a MONSTER player! Holy crap that session is gonna rock!

[@sandyturner1911]

Thanks, Rhett. I appreciate you.

[@TheJeffcurran]

You're Welcome. Have fun!!! Happy New Year.

[@mikebarney]

Very cool! Can't wait to see it!

[@mike_b777]

This message couldn't have been more timelym, Rhett. For years I've wanted to record an album and I finally made the decision to do it in 2024. No compromises or distractions. Thanks, man. Appreciate you and your channel.

[@byronconner9904]

Good luck. I just want to play live at least once. Still too scared. Send me the record when ya finish!

[@stoneyblues]

"Start where you are with what you have" Guess this was a wake up call for me to quit procrastinating get a band together and record this material I've written over the last 5 or so years. I have some mics and a great interface. I cant track a full band in one pass but I could get started. I've put off and put off getting started for lack of this or lack of that. I've spent way too much time online making wish list for gear and reviewing gear that is not in the budget. Im far from being able to support myself playing or producing music but Im never going to be able to if I dont start somewhere. Thanks for the kick in the ass Rhett I sure needed it. Stay Tuned and Play Loud

[@CharlesMarshall-c1v]

Love the music your such a humble guy you surround yourself with a Awsome group of people and greatness happens and it is beautiful

[@Crescent_Audio]

Rhett, thank you for putting this out, I needed to hear that

[@wkp1908]

Big ups for being transparent 🙌🏼 As a neurodivergent myself, i know burnout all too well, and also how hard it can be to get through. For the past three years i've had this belief that if i could just get rid of my 9-5 and do music full time, then periods of burnout would be behind me. This video just proves that no matter how awesome the job/life may be, you still have to lookout for yourself, or else it will get the best of you, and in the end you will hate the thing you used to love because you forced yourself to continue. Thanks for the reminder, and thank you for showing another side of life as a creative professional. Happy to see that you're dealing with it in a healthy manner. Happy new year!

[@tjm5492]

Exciting stuff Rhett. I've been on board for 4+ years and have enjoyed every minute (and note) of it. Looking forward to being along for this new creative tangent.

[@scottkidwell3601]

Looking forward to what's coming. In my own world, I ended up coming back home for work. Plus side is I'm closer to my parents, now in their 70s, and my sister. The big bonus has been reconnecting with friends and former bandmates and being invited (begged?) to come and play bass on a few different recording projects. Resurrecting, rewriting, writing, and recording old and new material. It's been a good few months, and much needed. It feels good to play music with good friends, making the music we want to hear. Happy New Year, all y'all 🙏🏻🤍🤘

[@mickmccuaig8340]

Good on ya Rhett, not enough people acknowledge the downside of trials and tribulations in all walks of life. Great to hear you're re--energising with something that it feels like will really drive you and get your vibe back in the pocket. As some people have already said, it takes a massive amount of time and effort to make these clips and, when they're made well, look like were done in 20 minutes so, hats off to you man. Good luck in '24, thanks for all the info/lessons/knowledge and enjoy your passion - Mick (Oz)

[@jimmygrant3151]

Right on Rhett. This will be a great start to a wonderful year. We look forward to the live sessions.

[@BadHorsie2]

Happy New Years Rhett!!!

[@aquele_dinho]

No, man!! WE thank you for the service. You're one of the best here in youtube and we learn a lot, A LOT, with you. Stay healthy and happy and have a really great 2024. I'm anxious for this new series. I simply know it will be great. 👊🎸🎆

[@may121953]

Thank you Rhett for your content. Looking forward your work in 2024.

[@holtcharlie501]

Cheers Rhett, still watching your videos after many years. Heres to 2024 🤘

[@johncarlisle980]

I also want to say a big thanks to you, Rhett. I fell back in love with guitar this time 2 years ago and your channel truly played a big part in that. Never imagined I’d be playing live music(and getting paid to do it!). Looking forward to your continued content!

[@JT96708]

I hope you can get Deacon Knight back together for Live to Tape. Those live jams y’all did during lockdown helped keep me sane.

[@willernst]

REALLY looking forward to this! That preview was amazing. That Dylan Adams, holy shit!

[@olev01]

Rhett, oh Rhett! NEVER, NEVER clean heads rubbing across the gap! NEVER! Always up and down, along the gap! Great idea live to tape! Looking forward to it. And THANK YOU for doing what you do.

[@jeremythornton433]

All the best for the new year!

[@yohnsvain9651]

Good on you mate, and yes, I’ll be tuning in to these (analog 😝, yesss!!!) tape sessions.

[@msspi764]

Start where you are. Good advice. Thanks

[@marcdanielnelson317]

Keep rocking that 388 Rhett. It pulls a lot out of you inspiration wise.

[@djadequate]

Very excited, I love live imperfect analog music creation. Grateful for all you've shared over the years and hope this brings you joy.

[@gregguzdziol]

Words of wisdom. Keep going man!

[@MatthijsKoningstein]

Your advise at 3:10 is exactly what I've decided to follow: I've recently started uploading my own video's, even though I myself believe I still suck. But it's what I love doing. So who cares? And I might even get better in the end by doing it.

[@casetunes]

Thanks for your encouragement! I appreciate your honesty, both about your passion for all ofyour musical endeavors, and also about getting too close to burnout. I'm glad you're taking steps, and I'll be with you on the journey! -Steve

[@simonmarcotte2432]

Thanks Rhett! Very inspirational :)

[@jean-paulschelkens6930]

Thanks for the helpful content, and best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2024.

[@rayinata5318]

Your efforts do not go unappreciated by all of us Subscribers!

[@Pixture2]

I totally support this concept of you recording live. Our church has had a Praise Band for about 23 years and in the last 3 years we've been recording videos of services that currently get watched by thousands. We are truly amateur but we try our best. Yes mistakes are made, and we laugh it off and come back every week and do it again. I've been told by congregation people they don't even notice most mistakes, and in truth I think it takes a musician to catch most of them. We are always our own hardest critics. Rock on Rhett!

[@rickc2102]

There is no Plan B. You're inspiring as hell, man. Been putting some things off for too long, myself, so I'm gonna hear you and start where I'm at instead of waiting for things to be perfect.

[@canbro28]

Rhett, thanks for sharing this. I have been facing the same kind of creative struggles and hope to break through that barrier soon. I really like what you said about "start where you are . . . make what you want". I've used all the excuses. Now it's time to just do it . . . and get creative!

[@hawtenslaton4307]

Hey Rhett, love your channel! So cool that you got an old school reel to reel machine and are making live tapes, something special about Analog that is not there in Digital! Definitely self-care is a must, it appears you have been burning the candle at both ends. I would suggest getting enough sleep and keep a normal sleep cycle when you are not on the road playing late night. Good food, plenty of good water, exercise, stretch, do exercise that you like, get a massage or bodywork and leave the guitar/studio and the world behind for a least an hour, 90 minutes even better! Great things coming in your world in 2024. Thank you for the suggestion of moving forward with projects that we have been putting off. This year is the year. Right on man! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠✌❤🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂🙂

[@vundaboy]

Thanks Rhett for this year 🎉

[@skipneumann1]

Live to tape is going to be fabulous! I too am starting up my channel again with things that I always wanted to do but “just never started” Here’s to a great year ahead

[@NeoComicus]

Tape machines - reel to reel. The opening gave me a flashback to my first career in radio. Can't tell you how many times I hit the production room to find out no one had cleaned the heads on the tape machine in forever... It's the little things that hit you. Looking forward to the new episodes!

[@harrisonpassion]

I have enjoyed your show for years! I also have walked off 2 job where I was making over a million dollars a year. I loved my job but still needed a break. Following your heart is the key to healing. It does not always make sense but it always works. Paddle offshore and lose sit if land. You will find the next site of land. Thank you for giving yourself to us. You are appreciated.

[@davetoepfer]

I remain excited for you and the work you do, both as an individual and in collaboration. That few seconds of Dylan Adams. Man. What a teaser. I bet that’s gonna be (hopefully more than) one hell of a video. Perhaps a track or a session release for purchase?

[@Stboser]

This series is going to be so much fun to watch! Featuring Dylan after doing the video on him last year is awesome too.

[@cr8cat794]

Cool idea...can't wait. Thank you, Rhett!

[@JoeJohnston-taskboy]

Cool tune at the beginning! Got serious Pink Floyd vibes (which is a complement). Cheers.

[@rowbags3017]

Nice one Rhett! It's really good to see you inspired by the new project! I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. Have a great 2024! 😎

[@michaelshearer3559]

Cheers to the next chapter. Put wellness and family first, everything else works out.

[@coryburns13]

I think it’s only natural to feel that way from time to time. What I can tell you is that when I feel that way, I turn to channels like yours, Phillips, and a few others to keep me rolling. I love what ya do man, I’m here for it. Cheers to new years and wishing you and yours all the best in 24!

[@AdamStachelek]

Love the idea of Live to Tape! I love all the modern tools and techniques we have for production but the humanity and individuality of an unedited unfixed live performance remains one of the most special musical experiences to be had. Looking forward to this and wishing you continued success (and rest)!

[@collectingtengu4905]

Great news, great idea... wishing you a successful and healthy New Year.

Too be honest rhett 2023 was probably the most regretful year for me in my opinion I was looking back in life with regrets from my past and childhood have a wonderful happy new year ❤😊

Live recording is the best thing Happy New Year 🎉

[@chadharrison2269]

Looking forward to this content.

[@fauchejuliano]

Sometimes you just have to walk away for two days. You come back with a fresh mind, you play better. I've been playing nylon strings all my life, and I knew nothing about electric guitars, amps, and pedals. Thanks to you, I know a lot more now, I had all the info from first hand. (is that English?).

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I love analog recording. Yes, the new digital DAW's like Reaper, Logic, Pro Tools, etc. are the standard, but there's something special about live recording to tape. With limited tracks available it forces you to play your instrument a certain way. The take is the take, get it right. I have an old Tascam Portastudio 488 with an 8 track cassette recorder. No idea how to use it, I bought it at an estate sale and need help. Hopefully your new series will give me not only the enthusiasm but the knowledge of tape recording. Bravo sir

[@profoundsinger]

Man oh man….Rhett this is a killer idea. I can’t wait to hear what you guys put out. This idea of capturing a performance….its how all of the classic music that musicians reference were recorded. Can’t freaking wait!!
