In this video, I dive into the growing tension between the classic tube amps that have defined live guitar sound for generations and the modern modeling rigs taking over stages today. Nashville is at the epicenter of this battle, with a push to control and limit the use of traditional amps on iconic stages like Lower Broadway.
I explore the changing dynamics of live music, referencing recent articles from guitar legends Eric Johnson and Trey Anastasio. Eric Johnson warns of 'option anxiety,' urging guitarists to return to the simplicity of plugging straight into tube amps. Meanwhile, Trey Anastasio discusses the new sound requirements at Las Vegas' Sphere venue, where tube amps are no longer allowed on stage.
I also share my own experiences fighting against the restrictions imposed by soundmen in Nashville and the city's efforts to control volume levels, even banning amps on one side of Lower Broadway.
Join me as I navigate the future of live guitar performance in a city where 'Nashville Wants Control.
