This is why Nashville is Music City

[@tracygoode6317]

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincerest gratitude for including my band, Merle Jam, in this video. We were the band playing rock and metal at the Mellow Mushroom. It really is an honor to be included alongside such talented musicians as yourself and the other artists on here. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Congratulations you sound proud that your sucks.

[@jem550]

There is nothing like being humbled by up and coming country guitar shredding artists. Love this!

[@tonys.4657]

Nothing more maddening than watching these amazing musicians playing the same top 20 country songs because that's what gets them tips.

[@jokermaan1]

I was in Nashville in 2016. Amazing place. On the Broadway at 11am, hanging out all day, dropping into different bars. Different styles of music, Western Swing to Allman Brothers. Take in the great museums like the Country Music Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash Museum, grab something to eat, move on, couple of beers. Just keep on going until the early hours. Get some sleep and come back and do it all over again!

[@josaxtvc]

Visiting Broadway this past spring is what got me playing again. Love it!

[@greggerjets9477]

I spent a week in Nashville on Broadway. I'm 66 years young and have been a musician all my life. I watched everything from straight ahead country to metal bands. It's the most fun strip in music! I talked with so many musicians. They were the friendliest people I've ever met in music. No big egos. Just hard-working musicians who respect their audience and are having a great time playing. I hope they all reach their dreams. I'll be back next winter and can't wait.

[@benzakonium]

I’m loving the development of your videos into mini documentaries. You’re a great story teller.

Wow at 6:50 I love her vocal range on how high she got and the guitar and her we in sync..love that simple but effective lick

Freaking AMAZING 👏👏👏 her voice is the most beautiful voice raspy yet angelic!!! Thank you Tyler for creating this awesome video! Keep up the great work, man! 👍👍

[@dougckelly]

great video dude, heartwarming to know that there are places like this out there in the world.

[@TheTimSargent]

Nashville native here- most people that play on broadway are from out of state. Travelled to Nashville to “make it” in the music scene. It’s true, everybody and their dog plays music in TN. If you really want to get to the heart of Nashville natives who are the most talented musicians in the world, to include the musicians who play for all kinds of types of music and artists all over the world, go to the outskirts on the weekends. There are all kinds of blues bars and places where musicians will go to AFTER they’ve played in front of tens of thousands of people that night while on tour. I grew up going to places like this. I’ve played with all kinds of people. Written songs with people on platinum records etc… and I’m not even a pro musician. Just love to play. Great video, now I’m homesick, thanks!

[@tonyvalle794]

Local music. I'm guna be staying near 5 Points East of downtown. Do you have any suggestions to see more Local music?

[@MarySpender]

This is an incredible video. Congratulations Tyler! x

[@teamraptor4351]

Luke is a super nice guy .I first saw him play when he was 15 and was blown away that he'd only been playing for 4 years. He was finishing up Texas Flood and broke a string.He completed the song on 5 strings, replaced the string and was in tune in time for his next solo as the band kept going the whole time.

[@onemancarnage]

When she started singing , instant chills ... That's an incredibly talented singer !

[@AudraMcLaughlinMusic]

Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@onemancarnage]

@@AudraMcLaughlinMusic can't believe it took this long for me to see your comment .lol. You are very welcome , unbelievable voice . Is that song released on any platform yet ?

[@AudraMcLaughlinMusic]

@@onemancarnageno worries! Yes the song is released it’s out on all the music platforms! It’s called “Wake Me Up” it’s under Audra McLaughlin on all music platforms !

[@TheMilkinmypocket]

I was in Nashville a week ago cuz my girlfriend got tickets to the eras tour over there. We stumbled upon the bar Luke plays at and him and his band immediately left an impression on me. All the other bars had great musicians in them too, but they were the only ones doing this sort of high-energy chicken pickin country blues type stuff that I found absolutely fascinating. So cool to see you posted a video with Luke! Was reelin' after seeing them perform.

[@chrisshaw6451]

Terrific video Tyler, so much fun and entertainment, but also an eye opening education on Nashville, WOW! 👍❤️

[@booth403]

6:50 literal chills down the spine, dear god ... that bend with her voice in back ... jeezzzus

[@AudraMcLaughlinMusic]

Aww Thank you ❤❤❤❤

Never been there people tell me it's nice this is great thank you greetings from Northern California

[@ybllasy8965]

I know luke personally. I played with him one night while he was still playing for his dads band based out of kentucky. VERY humble guy that (even in his spotlight) I still talk with from time to time! And one of the best players ive ever witnessed for sure! Super cool to see him on your channel!

[@JonesJr_art]

Living in Nashville, having access to all the amazing talent in this town, and all the amazing personalities behind it is the best part. Sharing that with us here is the best idea you've ever had.

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

It's so rad to see & hear these people get a video like this. They play for SO many people every week but few people actually realize how had they work and how talented they really are.

[@drej1714]

I gotta say that this may be one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin in years. Pure talent, pure heart and a genuineness(?) of people that just love music and can express themselves in a way that can include everyone. A+++ in my book.

[@svsleipnir]

Yes…stoked to see you mixing it up and having fun sharing your talent with the hoi polloi. Go forth and rock. 🤘🏼

[@BradColemanisHere]

Chills start at 6:12 if you're so inclined. The pairing is just sublime. GREAT VIDEO, TYLER! I love that you dove in here and I can't wait to see more!

[@shawnhudgins8419]

I would love to see a full series on these artists. Something where you spotlight an artist or band on Broadway, do an interview, and maybe play a couple of songs at one of their sets. Some of the best true musicians are not going to be heard on radio or easily found on streaming services. Thank you for this video!!

[@kpatrickm]

A lot of serious talent in a 17 min video. Your own included. Very enjoyable

[@inz1]

Man those country players can bring grown men to their knees with their chops.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Spotting music acts while walking around the streets are actually quite rare in my city, but when they do occur, it piques my interests really quickly. Always enjoy it to see fellow musicians!

[@drewcaster]

Luke is one of the best guitarists I’ve seen live without question

[@tylerl8353]

You won me back. Not that i was too far gone, but this made me feel I was there, not just guitar tricks, or more gear...but enjoying relishing musicianship. Very cool. Well done.

[@andrewjonas5523]

I’ve wondered so many times why you haven’t included the natural resource of Nashville in your content. Loved this video man, can’t wait to see more. The bluebird and Nashville made me pick up the guitar again after 5 years of not playing…that was 11 years ago and I’m so thankful for that trip.

[@jonnoblitt6537]

Love Nashville playing there hast to be super fun never ending music for the soul 🤘🙏

[@patrickhite3026]

I was born in Nashville, I'm now 66 & lower Broad has always been the place to play & witness..The Turf, Music City, The Demons den are all gone now.. But I gotta say it's grown leaps & bounds since the 90s..I was tour guide at CMHF & studio B..I even snuck into Belmont & took many audio & music biz classes till I got caught..LOL..My dad owned a couple of Texaco stations & later a neighborhood grocery store & I guess I met damn near everyone who was anybody..Willy Nelson was moving out of a house as my family was moving in..My mom was pregnant with me at the time & later Brenda Lee would shop at my dad's store & I actually played bass with her when I w was 14 or 15 but I was into southern rock at the time & it was far to country for me at the time..LOL.. I had a little recording studio at 30 years old & Danny & Frankie Toler from Gregg Allman band would play on my songs & I would play on there ideas. ( I knew Gregg very well) & they were all great guys..Look out for my up coming book, Hopefully..(' Chicken Coops to Coupe DeVilles' , growing up in Nashville in the 60s & 70s) What a blessing it was to grow up in Nashville..And yes, I still play nearly everyday..Peace Out.

[@davidcook1057]

Man, maybe I gotta move to Nashville. This restores some faith in humanity - in the middle of all the craziness, you have these humble souls keeping the heartbeat of America going. Thanks to all that were a part of this fantastic video and those that are creating and continuing this musical journey for us to all be a part of.

[@busabrye]

Wow! Just, Wow!

[@WolfusZero]

One of the best trips I've ever had was just randomly packing a backpack on a Friday after work and driving out to Nashville for a weekend to see what all the fuss was about. It's now a trip I try to make at least once a year. The amount of talent concentrated into a single place is absolutely incredible and you get a front row seat to all of it. If you have a passion for music to any degree, you really owe it to yourself to make a trip out there.

[@meyerjp3]

You’re doing a great service to local musicians! I look forward to seeing more.

[@Halfaloaf599]

I lived 4 miles from downtown. I met some fabulous musicians and songwriters just jammin with folks in local Guitar stores.

[@jasonmoore9220]

So happy to see Luke McQueuary here! Damn he can play. He and Joe and all of Kelley’s Hero’s at Robert’s are hands down the best of what’s left of Nashville. Locals know they’re the only show on Broadway.

[@carvin-lb3tv]

Glad to see country is finally getting some recognition with the incredible guitar talent it puts out!

I just made my first trip to Nashville last week. It did not disappoint! Definitely going back I only had a couple days so I barely scratched the surface of the incredible talent all over town!

[@thedavehatessheep]

Love this. I've lived near Nashville my whole life and I've always said you can walk into any random bar on a Tuesday afternoon and hear the best music you've ever heard. Glad to see it being highlighted. Just throwing it out there, I recently attended Guitar Build Workshop down on 4th Ave and it was an all day awesome experience. You get to build a guitar from scratch, sand it, stain it, assemble it, set it up, play it and take it home with you. I think you would really appreciate it. Josh is the dude that runs it and he's a solidly awesome dude.

[@michaelmclaughlin609]

I love Nashville! My wife and I travel there twice a year....to listen to great music...and see great musicians. Love your "new" direction, Tyler...keep the vids coming!

[@stevenstabile4379]

Used to live in Nashville and played on Broadway and loved it there and then things began to change!! My brother was a drummer there and wanted me to come down there and a couple of weeks before I got there he was killed in a motorcycle accident which broke my heart and 2 days later I left New Mexico where I was living and left for the city I always wanted to go to!! One really important thing I learned was that the music players are a big family and they loved my brother!! I didn't know anyone there but from day one I was blessed that the friends of my brother became my friends and took me under their wings!! First of all I was floored that they held a benefit at the Fiddle and Steel Guitar Bar where the owner Alison welcomed me (the bar is no longer there and it was the first place I played!!) and the friends of my brother helped raise the money to take care of his remains! I was a 95% Rock and Roller but always loved Country and my new journey began! One of his friends gave me a Merle Haggard CD said start with this song I learned the songs and started going down to Broadway and listened to as many bands as I could and eventually started gigging!! Played on and off for 8 years and saw the changes start to happen! Good friends were dying and a lot of the music changed to New Country which basically is Pop songs with banjos, fiddles and pedal steel!!! Then all the places they designated for musicians to unload and load gear disappeared! So many changes were happening and since I was older the work got harder to find so I eventually left and I must have had 50+ friends I had to leave behind!! I now play with a Country band in Florida around Orlando but I really miss the vibe of Nashville and will never forget it!! I became a decent country player but it was my friends there who taught me the ropes!! I really miss them and Nashville and hope to visit in the future!!!!

[@TheEaglesRage]

Miss my home city so much, can't wait to go back.

[@Walker615]

I live Nashville and love this video. My only suggestion is that you showcase some of the great rock an pop, an even jazz players that abound here as well. It's not just a country town!

[@georgejager6425]

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Such a great video. I'm a fellow guitar KZbinr and just happened to spend a few days in Nashville due to my day job, just a couple of weeks ago. I saw many amazing musicians. Was surprised how many 'serious' guitarists (like the guy in the Gibson Garage) were really dismissive of the hardworking musicians on broadway ("Its just Shania guitar-araoke. Really musicians would never play Broadway man!") . Your video captures that feeling of those guys on broadway. I loved it, it reminded me of my trip. I recognised Eva from seeing her, her brother and her key-tar performing. We had a great night. I couldn't believe how many songs those guys could play. Playing for tips is a tough gig and these guys play for 4 hours at a time. Looking forward to more of your videos from the Nashville circuit.

[@randyherbrechtsmeier4796]

Wow!!!!! Outstanding. Cant wait for More!!!!!

[@bmckee5430]

This is the most exciting video I've seen of yours, and I've seen most! Looking forward to the new additional content!

[@derjansan9564]

I was on the Brodway about a week ago. Being from Germany this was like a different planet. I have never even remotely seen so much musical talent packed in such a small space. There were incredible bands playing in front of maybe 15 people and they all had an awesome time. Then a girl came along who was a singer of another band, and she grabbed the microphone and they played a song with her. Simply amazing. Maybe the bacholerette parties are getting out of hand a bit, but I hope this music culture lives on for a long time. In contrast, Memphis seems to have seen uch better days in the past. It would be wonderful to have two music cities in Tennessee, one focusing on blues and rock'n'roll, the other on country and har rock, but from my one day in Memphis it seems they still have a lot to do to get even anywhere close to Nashville.

[@BlurpeeBaggins]

I like this change in direction on your channel. Looking forward to more.
